The recent agitation for a greater
advertising for the uses of zinc is well
worth considering. Without assuming
to know much about zinc or base
metals, we take it that it has many
uses as yet undiscovered. As we un-
derstand it the Kansas-Missouri-Ok-
lahoma fields produce more zinc than
any other district on the globe from
which we judge q great part OF the
world knows very little about zinc or
its uses. 1t is also little hard for
the average layman to understand
why at this time when the other met
ais are so high the price Of zinc should
keep the producers guessing. At a
time when raw materials of every
kind and character are bringing un-
heard of prices it don't look like the
greatest lead and zinc fields ever
known should cause any worry to the
operators.

COLUMBUS RESCUES ROAD
When Bad Checks Began to Come
Back Williams Took Over
Company

Columbus, Kan, April 3-The Will
liam Construction Company, which
had the contract of hauling gravel
to build the 100000 road that is to
connect Picher, Okla, with Columbus
is bankrupt and a number of checks
issued by the company to laborers
about ten days ago have been return
ed with q protest stamp on them.
For time it looked as though the
work on the new road would be tenn
porarily held up, but A. F. Williams
of this city came to the rescue, and
after securing possession of two D.
ton and two 3la ton trucks, took ~
the company's checks and got the
machines and men back to work on
the job. He will operate the trucks
until the gravel is all hauled for the
new road.
Williams obtained possession of the
equipment when he foreclosed mort
cages held by the First National bank
of Pittsburg, the Baxter State bank
and paper held by w. A. Makinney
of this city, who sold the machines.
Williams, of this city, paid several
other outstanding debts of the COM
pany, such as bills for oil, gasoline,
ETC., amounting to nearly $4,000. The
construction company, besides having
had a run of bad luck, was inactive
during January and February on ac-
count of the weather. This is given
as one of the reasons for the failure
Of the concern.
Work on the new road is progress
ing nicely. There is but about three
days more hauling on gravel for
bridges, and when this is done and
all the bridges are completed, gravel
for the roadbed will begin to come
in from the south end. More than
half the bridges and culverts are now
completed over a stretch Of six miles
of the road About four and one-hal1
miles of the grading is practically
up to level, six miles of the road has
been ditched and two miles is nearly
ready for gravel. 1t is now expected
that the road will be open for travel
by the latter part Of the summer.
The road will be the first of its
kind built in the state under the
benefit district road law. The plans
were approved by the state engineer
and when it is finished will be one Of
the best roads in the state.

More than 100 million dollars in'
crease In bank deposits is the record
Of the Kansas state banks In q period
Of two years. In tie past three
months the deposits went up to IL
million dollars and In one year they
increased A million dollars. Walter
Wilson, state bank commissioner
gave out recently the combined stRte-
ment Of the condition Of the Kansas
state banks at the close Of business
February 16.
Deposits February 16 were $243,52O'-
344.32. In November they were $685.
32O,799.76. A year ago they were
S2OO.S5S ,OO5.1S and two years ago
S141,7l4.072.21.
This is the most remarkable growth
in the banking business Kansas has
even known. II is probable that the
national banks, which were asked Tor
a statement on the same date. show
approximately q similar growth In de-
posits and business as have the state
banks.
On February 16. reserves were 80
per cent; in November 29 per cent
and a year ago 36 per cent.
The loans and discounts totaled
s174-4S1 .265.s2. the highest figure aver
attained by this item, and 3 million
dollars more than last November.
There are LOIS state banks, two
private banks and ten trust companies
operating in Kansas and which con-
tributed to the statement.
