Savings as small as % cents may be
put i'll as a start by any individual in
securing a certificate in this loan.
1t is expected that almost every
person in Wyoming will be able to take
II or more of these certificates. 1t is
destined to be one of the greatest ii.
nancial achievements in the history of
the government, from the standpoint
of thrift and economy. 1t will teach our
people to put away small savings and
to acquire securities that bear interest
at n reasonable rate. The interest is 4
per cent compounded quarterly.
In this campaign ! expect to have
the undivided support of all the people
i IL the state. 1t is my purpose to have
a chairman in each of the several coun-
ties who will direct the affairs of this
campaign in such a way as to bring
out all the savings of the people not
otherwise employed.
In this campaign it appears to me
that the counties should be divided into
very small districts. In towns 1
would say that these districts should
be as small as a single block. Each dis
trict should have a thoroughly reliable
and competent person to make a can
vass of every individual living therein,
and to keep a careful record of the
name, residence, amount subscribed,
and all other details relating thereto.
In this work no comp ensation is
provided for me or my field assistants.
Full information and literature relat-
ing to the campaign will be transmit
ted in a very short time. We place no
limit as to the number on the county
committee. That is up to you. What
we want is results;

The Sun is in receipt of the following notice
from the field division of the Department of the In

ONE LESS CATTLE THIEF.
An Old Offender Captured Last Friday
in Brush Creek Country, After
a Several Days Chase.

One of the largest mountain lions
killed in this region in many "a day was
captured on Barrett Ridge in the
Brush Greek neighborhood last Friday
by w. C.. Condict and Ralph Plat,
after a. chase extending over three
days. The animal was finally reed by
the dogs with which he had been trail
ed, and after being d~islodged from his
perch by four shots through the body
from Mr.. Platt's .30-30, the animal
still retained sufficient vitality to COM
pletely whip the dog pack in the rough
and-tumble scrap which followed his
descent from the tree.
The lion was brought to own Satur-
day and was on exhibition during the
greater part of the day. The carcass
weighed better than $50 pounds and
it is reported that after 1t had been
skinned the pelt measured 8 feet 7
inches from tip to tip. The captors
are planning to have the pelt mounted
as a trophy,

the country got accustomed to the idea
and the men whose business made it

rates because of war necessities. fol-
lowed by h announcement that be
cause of these necessities the eastern
carriers had pooled their facilities and
would operate under unified control.
In the interim there had been all

There has beer not only the difficulty

Capital, SIS, 100000. Surplus, $1O,OOO.OO.
Deposits. $I7O.OOO.OO

No Bank is better than its management.
Each man may judge for himself from the elements
that make Il good Bank.
Capital and Deposits are necessary to make a strong
Bank. The capital is the actual money put into the Dust
ness by the stockholders. Surplus indicates what mas Deen
earned above the dividends and expenses.
The amount of deposits represents the money placed
in the care of the Bank by the people. A Banks deposits
are an indication of the amount of business done anu the
confidence placed i'm the Bank by individuals.
The officers of a safe Bank are always experienced
men-honest in the bank business as well as outside; they
are men who have confidence in other men, and VINO look
upon humanity with a spirit Of helpfuness.
The capital of this Bank is ample to meet the demands
of our customers; our surplus shows that safe banking Is
done, it having increased steadily year by year; our de-
posits tell to what extent the people have placed confidence
in us. Our officers are experienced; they are men who are
glad to give their advice in financial matters.

WARD F. DUNNE.-YOu are writing
a series of articles for the press on
BUbways. I have just finished read
ing your first effort. 1t contains
nothing new that can see.
True, there has been and is now
a wide clamOr for traction sUbways,
but mostly by persons who seem to
have no comprehension in the mat

You refer to New York, Boston,
London. All those cities have sub
ways and needed them badly. They
we're all built for a proper purpose
to carry people speedily over long
distance, but not in a single instance
TO dispense congestion. Not one of
these cities had the awful cOnges-
ton that Chicago suffers from. They
have no insurmOuntable barriers
such as exist here. You must know,
governor, that the natural direction
for expansion in Chicago is south
ward. You must also know that in
that direction lies our greatest bar
Tier against natural eXpansiOn-the
Is steam railways, with their extern
siVe traffic, covering nearly all space
between State street and the river,
keeping nearly all streets closed and
preventing any sane business man
with a clean business from locating
anywhere in that vast territory be-
tween Van Buren, and 22d SITS.
Now please ask yourself seriously
this question: If those roads were
removed to more remote quarters
and the 400 or more acres of space
thrown open to business expansion,
would there then be any need of SUBJ
ways? If you are the man of judg-
ment take you to be, you will an

Well, then, why not pursue such a
course - restrict railway traffic in

Cincinnati, O., July 1s.--(Special)
There seems to be no longer the
least doubt that Christy Mathewson,
Cincinnati Reds manager, is a real
success. For the frst time in some
years the Reds are In the flrst divis.
ion as late in the season as July.
Matty has developed the club In ev-
cry department and today the Reds
have a real ball team.
Mattys success will please not
merely the local fans, but baseball
fans everywhere. It isn't likely that
any other figure in the game has as
many friends and admirers as
Christy Mathewson. His success az
a manager would get the cheers
wherever the scores are watched.
And for the past six weeks or so the
Cincinnati Reds have been showing
that Matty is a success.
To climb from seventh to fourth
place within a period Of six weeks
indicates that q team is beginning
to feel all OF its strength and that lie
what the Reds have done. High
class pitching has been consider
able item in the teams advance, but
the pitching has not done Ii all.
There has been clear gain in the
hitting. And the team is making
every hit count, which is more than
1t was doing early in the season.
With one OF the slickest infields In
the league and with high class field
ing In every other department -
would be strange if the team didn't
climb.
Matty gets credit for the teams
improved speed and he also gets
credit for supplying, the team with
the best sort Of spirit. In addition
to the increased assurance and self
confidence the Reds are enjoying
they have an admiration and respect
for their leader that is one Of their
strongest points.
1t .isn't probable that Matty will
win pennant in his first season
on a managers job, but that is the
sort OF thing that would please his
many friends. He has done enough
already TO show that he is a real
success.
