BANKS IN GOOD SHAPE
Fcwest Failures in Tenth District in
1918 Since 1870.

Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 15.-Fewer
bank failures occurred in the terri
tory embraced in the tenth federal re-
serve district in 1918 than in any year
since 1870. figures compiled by the
federal reserve district bank show
Failures for the year just closed
showed reduction of 43.2 per cent
over the failures for 1917.
From the same source, the informa-
ton is given that. despite the fact that
this district bought liberty bonds of
the two issues offered in the year (the
third and fourth) to the total of $780,
044,250, clearings of the member
banks for the year gained over 1917
81, 068, 250.612, or 31.4 per cent.
Sales of bonds of the third loan to-
tailed s204.092.s00 on the quota of
$3.50, 100000. The total for the fourth
loan was S295,9 $50 against a quota
of s26o,oOo.O0O. OF the third loan. 16
per cent of the population of the dis
trict bought. The percentage for the
fourth loan increased to 17.6.
Actual sales of war savings stamps.
by the bank and its Immediately re-
lated organizations-not including
those placed in so-called second
class" agencies, were S35.921.06
Thrift stamps in the number of g.
031,02S, with an aggregate value of
$757,757, were sold.
Certificates of Indebtedness, antici-
patory of the third loan, to the extent
of $128.424,500, against an assigned
quota of 100000, were taken by
the banks of the district and for the
fourth loan, g. total of SITS. s66. 900,
against an assigned quota of S164, 000,-
900.
AS showing that the bonds were
taken more widely in small amounts
than in large ones, the compilation
shows that third bonds to the total of
$179, 027.65 were taken in sums of
$50 to $4,000. while subscribers in
sums of $200,050 took only $2,305,-
900. OF the fourth bonds those in the
former classification took S254.611,-

Simple Way To
End DandruH

There is one sure way that has new
er failed to remove dandruff at once,
and that is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this. just
get about four ounces of plain, COM
mon liquid arvon from any drug store
(this is all you will need, apply it
at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, 1ustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and looks and
feel hundred times better-Adv.

No Motive Found to
Explain Girls Suicide

No motive has as yet been dis
covered for the suicide of Eva Col
yer, the 17-year-old Speeceville girl
who took her life yesterday after
noon. Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs,
William Colver, are unable to ac-
count for the act.
Miss Colver had been spending the
morning assisting in the housework
and about the middle of the after
noon went up to her room without
saying anything to her family. A
few minutes later a shot was heard
and the girls aunt, Miss Jessie
Speese, ran upstairs and found her
lying across the bed, revolver
clasped in her hand. The girl died
in a few minutes without speaking.
Coroner Eckinger visited the
home but could find no motive for
the deed. Besides her parents, Miss
Colver is survived by four brothers.
Raymond, Clinton, Floyd, and Will
liam, and a younger sister.
