THE FUTURE. OF BANK GUARANTEES

The State Of Oklahoma won its suit before the
supreme 0our' TO avoid payment FOR losses OF
bnnk depositors, in banks guaranteed by the
state banking board This raises the question
o. how safe State Federal guarantee OF a
bank deposit Is, The Supreme Court holds, al.
though by majority Of only one vote that the
State cannot be sued in such a case because OF
the constitutional provision that no State may be
sued without It's own consent save by another
state,
In other words, II State board guarantees a
bank deposit, the bank then fails and the de-
positors bring suit against the State, and the
State cannot ~ held liable, OF what value then is
It's guarantee?
The Supreme Court mayhap not believing in
the principle Of guaranteeing such deposits. has
certainly dealt hard blow to the cause that in
years of the recent past numbered many adj
herents.

supervisors last week compromise
was made in regard to the cutoff on
the Leon and Garden Grove road
known as the Goodman cutoff, q
number of farmers living north Of
the proposed cutoff objecting to the
closing of the old road which ran
over the railroad crossing in front
of Simon Goodman's farm, SO the
board decided not to close the road
through the bridge and then over
the railroad tracks, but to leave it
open, and to also open new road
which goes on the east side of the
railroad. track through Mr.. Good
mans farm, thus avoiding both the
overhead and underground crossing,
and this arrangement is satisfactory
to all parties. Mr.. Goodman was
awarded $156.50 as compensation
for the new road which cuts on q
strip from his farm.

Leon Rexall Store stiil Climbing Up

The Leon Rexall drug store of
Bell & Painter, one of the finest in
the state, has always been right up
among the leaders in the amount of
business done. The fiscal year
closed July 1st, and last year the
Leon store stood eighth in the list of
all the Rexall stores in Iowa. This
year they move up two places, being
sixth on the list, and in cities the
size of Leon they stand in second
place, being third last year, there be-
ing but one Rexall store in the Unit
ed States in a town of Icons class
which sold more goods than the Bell
& Painter store. The Rexall Com
pany maintain what they call an hon
or roll in each state, and last year
there were AZ Iowa stores on the
honor list while this year there are
but 26, so that it is easy to see that
the Leon store stands right at the
top of all the Iowa stores, taking the
size of the town into considerable
and second in the whole United
States The standing Of the Iowa
stores has not yet been learned, the
above information being secured
from a telegram sent Bell & Painter
by the Rexall Company, congratulate
ing them on their excellent showing.
