Farewell Party

The K. K. KS gave farewell party
and banquet Thursday afternoon and
evening in the basement of the Bap-

members, Miss Anna Campbell who
will leave Friday or Saturday for
France to serve as a telephone opera
tor, and Miss Frances Rundstrom,
who will leave for Chicago to prepare
herself as an instructor of music. The
Klub had planned to hold picnic
near Letha, but rain upset the plans,
and the church banquet hall was sub
stituted. The afternoon was pleas
antly spent, but the big event came
off in the evening, when the Klub
members and the husbands of the
married ones sat down to a banquet.
Music, songs and readings added zest
to the good things TO eat and made
the event one never to be forgotten.

transportation to New York, from
where she will sail for France to
serve the U. S. Army as telephone

day or Saturday, and will be accom-

These two were selected by the tele-
phone company as the most capable
operators in the state. Emmett will
miss Miss Campbell's cherry greetings
and sunshiny disposition, and the old
town will be lonesome until she re-
turns. May he who rules above guard
and protect her in her brave service
to the country she loves so well.

NOT ONE NATIONAL BANK HAS
FAILED IN THE YEAR 1918

As a result of sounder and more
conservative methods of banking, and
stricter observance of the provi-
sions of the National Bank Act and
the regulations of the Comptroller's
office; and also because of the admir-
able operation of the Federal Reserve
Act, closer supervision and more rigid
examination by the national bank ex-
amining force, the national banks of
the United States are today being ad
ministered more satisfactorily and
more successfully than ever before.
For the first seven months of 1918,
THERE HAS BEEN NO FAILURE
OF ANY NATIONAL BANK IN
ANY ONE OF OUR FORTY-EIGHT
STATES. Never before in the history
of the national banks since 1870 with
the single exception of the year 1881
has there been such immunity from
failures.
During these same seven months of
1918, twenty-five (22) state banks
and trust companies in fourteen (14)
different states have failed-an aver
age of failure every ten days.
During the past seven months, one
hundred and sixty (160) applications
for charters for new national banks
have been received, calling for a capi
tai of $1,000, 900 In the same period
SO new charters have been granted
by the Comptroller's office, with a
capital of S9,955,000; and Is appli-
cations for charters for new national
banks have been refused. One hun
ired and seventy-five (175) applica-
tons for charters for new national
banks are still pending.
One hundred and fifteen (115) ma
sional banks, in the seven months
ending August l, 1918, increased
heir capital by the sum of S9,635 900.
IN the same period only three national
,anks reduced their capitalize ag-
yregate amount of these reductions
vas S175,000.

nett is the only National Bank

A Smooth Scheme

A few days ago two strangers. were
walking along the canal on the Ober-
meyer farm, when they were hailed
by Lou Obermeyer, who inquired if
they wanted work. They replied in
the negative, and continued their
journey. Soon afterward, Lou saw a
nice big melon come floating down the
stream. He waded in and brought it to
shore. Seven more were taken in in
similar manner. Lou figures it out
that one of the party had stolen mel
ons from the patch, placed them in the
canal with the expectation of float
ing them down to the rest of the
party below 1t was a smooth scheme
if it had worked.

We have been here two days and the
fellow that said it was not hot here
had been too hot himself. Yesterday
was cool, they say, for this place; it
was only 126 in the shade. Carl, how
would you like to pile lumber down
here? We are in the depot brigade
now. We will get out today, though,
| guess into detention camp for two
weeks before we get assigned to a
company. l sure would like to have
drink of water for a change. Put
a pail of water in the sun all day and
then drink it. Well, that is the kind
of water we have down here, only
on X. P. (kitchen police). We were
on X. P. yesterday and we got ice
water. l think l would like it for
steady job. The stores and every
thing are out in the open. 1t sure is
a great life.
We are 10 miles from Jacksonville
and 16 miles from the pond. 1t sure
is big camp. Lots of tents and lots
of men. We have no address, so |
cannot get any mail yet. Don't any
of you worry about me, for l am a
