The above was issued Saturday ar ternoon by Mayor Smith, and begin ming Monday practically every bus mess firm in the town has been com plying with the request, closing at , D. m. and not opening until < a. m. The people are rapidly adjusting them selves to these changed conditions, and little complaint is heard. Just how long this new orvieY of things will continue in force is not known.
 So far the supply of fuel has been sufficient to supply all local demands, except at the light plant. In order to conserve the supply the early morn ing and afternoon service was aban- doned, beginning last Monday, and the night service is cut off at l0 o. clock. This has caused considerable inconvenience and some complaint. The owners of the plant advise The News that they are making every pos sible effort to get coal, and hope to return to the old schedule in few days. Whether the service at ray etteville and Rogers has been curtalied or not we are unable to say but we understand the supply of coal at both places is almost exhausted.
 Fuel Administrator Hobbs of Ben ton County issued instructions Tues day for all business houses Tn the county to close each day at 6 D. m. and oman at T 2. m

Sparks asked me how deep the snow was told him it was knee deep, and he said that I had got into a drift. I told him it was drifted all the way to the barn, then and after breakfast he went out and measured and it was 2S inches deep.

that the State and trust company sec

any legislation unless It received the
sanction Of the administrative council.
which. is controlled by members from
national banks. r.
It was declared that the State in
stitutions should form an organization
to look out for their own interests. In
this connection It was asserted that
State rights were being gradually wiped
out and that in "a short time state
banks would be in the same position.
thus resulting In trust companies and
State banks being made an appendage
TO Federal institutions.
While the feeling predominated that
separate organization should be
formed. 1t was based largely upon the
impression that the State institutions
were not getting a fair show in WASH

it. plain that there was no effort to
create any antagonism toward the ma
tional association of national banks
One OF the delegates said that all the
banking brains were not located In

financial questions should not be left
to the discretion of one or two men
