Wood for fuel should be sold by

its weight. say foresters OF the United

pound OF dry wood OF one species
has about as much heating value as
"a pound OF n other species. but

During the past eight years the
Fletcher American National Bank
-, IN addition to its regular bank
ing business, engaged in the bust
ness of buying and selling bonds
and such securities as could prop
erly be bought, owned and sold
under the National banking laws,
and has also maintained a steam
ship ticket agency.
These departments of the institu-
ton have been operated at a profit,
but their scope of activity has been
restricted by the National banking
laws.
The opportunity exists for the
development of a large commercial
business-an opportunity that a
be more adequately met by separat-
ing the bond and security business
and the steamship agency from the
banks affairs.
This is being done. These
special branches of the banks bust
ness are being turned over to the
Fletcher American Company, thus

enabling it to start with a profitable
business of considerable proper
tons and, with added lines of bust
ness, such as may be conducted
under State laws, to look with con-

The Company will be able to
serve its patrons in the purchase,

to buy and sell investment securities, to loan on real estate first mort

of the banks business These the Company will be enabled to de-
velop without present restrictions, and at the same time expand its
activities into other allied ICES.

EQUALIZATION BOARD TO PROVIDE FUNDS
 FOR 15 DEPART MENTS
Method of Paying Bills Re jected by State Auditor
 Is Discovered
lBv Revlew Leased wlrel

PHOENIX, April 16.-The State Board of Equalization will provide the funds for those 15 departments in favor of which State Auditor Boyce recently said he would refuse to is sue warrants. This was the state ment reported at the capitol today as having been made by member of the board.
 Boyce stated that he would refuse to issue the warrants because senate bill 90 barred any department from exceeding its appropriation and that the 15 departments which he placed under the ban there are no specific appropriations.
 The way out of the difficulty, as credited to a member of the board of equalization, was said to lie in senate bill, 135, the so-called levy bill'' under which the board is authorized to levy a tax sufficient, with other sources of revenue to defray the necessary ex- penses of the state for each of the fiscal years, to pay the deficits for the preceding fiscal year, to provide a sinking fund and to pay the annual interest on the state debt"
