COMMUNITY SPIRIT HEEDEo

We had an eminent lecturer IN
Chickasha this week a man whose
speciality is community building his
mission being 70 bring about the cor
relation OF our churches, schools and
all other social agencies to the end
that all forces may work together for
the common good. Unfortunately few
heard the lecturer although there is
no question that his message Is a
greatly needed one.

Is what prompts men to take some
time from their private business to at

spirit which kept our people from

Ozark Trail promoter, came to see us
In regard to matter of vital import

which causes the merchants to fail to
respond to calls for meetings Of their
association and the same indifference
to the common veal, due to too exclu-
absorption In our own selfish az
fairs, impels us TO neglect multitude

neighbor drifts along?
Is the dollar so enticing,
Is success" so all-sufficing,
That you can't devote a second to a
brother in the throng?
DO you know your destination?
It's a quiet little station
Where ambition never troubles and
the dollar Jingles not
Where there is no bootless striving,
Sordid scheming or contriving,
And the richest mans possession is a
little grassy plot.
Why be overkeen for speeding
On trail so surely leading
To that lonely little village where we
all must come at last?
Slack up, brother, what's your hurry,
That SO recklessly you scurry?
You may head a slow procession ere
another year is past.

And the earth brought forth grass,

And let them be for lights in the fir

And God made two great lights; the
greater light to rule the day, aud the
lesser light to rule the night: he made
the stArs also.
And God set them in the armament

earth,
And to rule over the day and over

HOW cArARRA IS coNrRAorED

Mothers are sometimes SO thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflam-
nation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh, disease
that is seldom cured and that may
provae a life's burden. Many persons
who have this loathsome disease will
remember having had frequent colds
at the time it was contracted. A lit
tie forethought, bottle Of Chamber
Iains Cough Remedy judiciously used,
and all this trouble might have been
avoided. Obtainable everywhere.

Rep. SENATORS
MEET TO SPEED
MEX DEFENSE
Frankly Express Uneasiness
Over Border Crisis.
Endorse Wilson. but Demand
More Drastic Action.
SEE JUST CAUSE FOR ALARM
Respond to Many Messages
From Citizens on Border.
Awaiting More Facts, Postpone
Meeting Until Monday.

Washington, March 25.-Uneasy
over the situation on the Mexican bor-
der senate Republicans today held a
conference with a view to determining
upon a plan to ask for more troops
to protect the border. The conference
adjourned until Monday without ac-
ton. when some definite steps will be
taken.
The conference of the Republicans
was called by Senator Calm as a
result of many kilograms from Amer
lean citizens who fear that with the
departure of troops in pursuit of Villa,
there is an insufficient force to guar
antee safety. More than half the Re
publican senators attended the con-
ference and the situation was discuss
ed freely. 1t was declared by every
senator who spoke that nothing was
contemplated to EN- barrass the ad-
ministration or precipitate trouble
with the Carranza government. They
agreed that the action of the president
with regard to the pursuit of Villa
should be endorsed. but that the bor-
der situation seemed to give just cause
for alarm and further decisive and
quick action
Introduce Two Bills.
Two resolutions were submitted,
one by Senator McCumDer and an
other by Senator Cummins. They
were along similar lines setting forth
what the senators believed the occa-
sion demanded in the way of more
adequate defense measures, endorS-
| ing the presidents policy go far as it
has gone, and appealing to the Ameri-
can people for support of more ag-
gressive action with reference to
policing Texas, Arizona and New Mex
ico where Americans are exposed.
It was agreed that more thorough
and accurate information should be
gathered Several senators sent mes
sages of inquiry to border points, to
which replies are expected before the
conference meets again Monday. One
senator said the purpose of the con-
ference was to see if something could
not be done TO help the administra-
ton in the interest of the government
and welfare OF endangered American
, citizens.
Lewis POstpones Airing Charges.
I'VE would like to have the presi-
dent of the United States know we arc
very uneasy over the situation" the
senator said ''aHd l have no doubt
that the president is uneasy. OF
course. somebody viii charge ua with
| playing politics and that. of course. is
unfortunate, for it is not politics. If
we can at least by unanimous action
arouse such a public sentiment as to
| force action by the ma jOrity.''
When the senate assembled, Senator
! Lewis, Democrat, at the request of
| Senator Stone put over for one week
discussion of his resolution charging
| that Americans had given aid to Villa.

Call ON BANKS
State Institutions Asked for
Condition on March "a.
Another New High Record on
Deposits Is Expected.

Call for statement of the condition
of the state banks of Kansas was is
sued today by w. F. Benson, state
bank commissioner. The call is for
the close of business Friday, March "a.
1t is probable that the report as
shown by the March call will establish
a new banking record in Kansas. Mil
lions of bushels of corn and wheat
have gone to market from Kansas
since the last statement from the
banks of this state. Live stock pro-
ducers have also profited by extensive
advances in market prices in the last
few weeks and there is belief that
the new report may be an eye opener.
The last report from state banks of
Kansas was for December 81.
1T is difficult to forecast the condi-
tiOn of the banks of Kansas especially
at this season of the year" said Com
missioner Benson. 1T is not improb-
break the record which was reached
by the banks of this state under their
report of December 81"
Shipping difficulties which resulted
in car shortage on all lines in Kan
sas has forced farmers to hold their
1915 crops. Since the December 81
report, however, Kansas has dumped
several million bushels of wheat on
the markets and has disposed of a
large share Of last years corn crop.
Returns from these crops are believed
to have materially boosted the de-
posits in banks in wheat and corn pro-
ducing counties and an excellent
financial showing is expected.
Deposits of banks in Kansas. as
shown by the December report. total
led S232.97S,2 ,254.9S. Of this amount
34.673,656.74 was in the 967 state
hanks. while the 219 national banks
reported deposits of S9S.3O4,59S24
The December report showed an in
crease of $4,000. 600 in bank deposits
over any previous period in the his
tory of the state.
