Buy More Liberty Bond:
BANKS GAVE SPLENDID
AID IN LOAN DRIVES
Public Should Now Help Them In
Their Efforts To Make Country
Even More Prosperous.
BY Carter Glass,
Secretary Of the Treasury.

Secretary Of the Treasury.
No group of men in the. United
States measured up to the test Of the
great war more admirably thsu did
tho bankers. The success Of the Unit.
ed States Treasury Department in
floating over $21, ,0OO,0oo,0Oo in Liber.
ty Bonds and Victory Notes during
the last two years was due in no small
measure to tho patriotic cooperation
Of the banks. They took most ac-
tive part in each Of the loan cam
paigns.
They subscribed generously foS
themselves, made loans to their Gus
toners in order that they might buy
bonds, and sold bonds on, installments
to accommodate those having small
savings. In other words, the banks
did everything possible to promote the
sale and distribution Of government
securities.
The banker can render an equally
great service in reconstruction by co.
operating with the government IN its
movement to teach the people OF the
United States the lessons Of sound r.
nance and wise Investment In pro-
noting this cause the banker will aid
his institution and the financial ST.
uation in general at the same time.

a. we'll as the continuous and efficient
employment Of labor, in fact, tho whole
industrial process will be promoted by
permitting the commercial banks to
devote all their resources to this
function.
The people. Of the United States
should, therefore, be encouraged to

possible, and also to purchase addi-
tional government securities ~ H.

Dickinson Values
Show Big Gain

In 1908 the total school tax was
$103,S11, the total tax of the county
1907 ,667, 10 and the county levy $780,
T2S.0G. At that time there was no
road nor bridge fund and the general
fund took care OF these. Now the
county high school is receiving $24,-
1913 from the county and at that
time $1s,452.12. giving 1t the least
increase of any county institution
comparatively.
The legislature has abolished the
rebates which previously have come
out Of the general fund and which
last year amounted to $12,772.47.
This in time viii mean a reduction Of
the county tax it was pointed out by
the county clerk in discussing it,.
Some people have objected to the re-
fusal to pay rebates, thinking the
county was responsible for the change,
however it is now state law and
effective.

Mary Jane Sanders was born at
Milan, Ind, April 20, 1886. Died at

was married TO Henry Shaw Febru-
AIRY 20, 1857, at Cincinnati, Ohio,

born, Mrs. X. Waring of Abilene,
Kans.; George w. Shaw deceased;
Charles NJ. Shaw of vinita, Okla, and
Joseph l.. Shaw of Navarro, Kans.
There are twenty-three grandchildren

WANT FRUIT SOLD FROM CARS
Kansas officials Say Commerce Conn
mission Rule Is Detrimental.

Richard ] Hopkins, attorney gen
eral, and A. II. Helm, attorney for the
public utilities commission, asked the
Attorney General OF the United States
and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today to abolish the rule
which now prohibits the sale of foods
or fruits from boxcars at stations. 1t
Is asserted that the rule was made by
the railroads as an operating matter
and has acted for the benefit of the
merchants and to the great detriment
Of the general public. At Herington
carload Of apples was offered for
sale from the ear at $1.75 a bushei
while apples of the same grade are
sold in the stores at nearly double that
amount The sale of the apples was
stopped. II Is charged that the rail
roads allow merchants to buy apples
and other foods from cars, but in wa
gon load lots, while the consumer
cannot buy IN bushel lots. The Kan
sas officials appealed to the federal
departments for help in an effort to
keep down the cost of living in this
state as much rs possible.

Medical Inspection Al Solomon.

Solomon Tribune; County Health
Officer Atwood and Miss Flanagan,
the county Red Cross nurse, were here
last week and examined the school
childrep. More than 100 children
were found to have defective teeth,
enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Each
child that had an abnormal condition
was given slip of paper on which
was written his ailment and this sent
to his parents. 1t is not compulsory
that the children be given medical at
tention but it is the desire of the
school and county officials that they
receive it. A dental inspection, which
is one of the school laws will be made
soon.

DON'T KEEP COMING
Cars Started All Right But Shortage
Is Threatened.

The daily allotment of box cars
promised Kansas and which started to
come and bring some relief are slow
ing up again and causing delay and
complaints.
The loading pens at Liberal, Kan,
are full of cattle that have been wait
ing three weeks 70 rcars for shipment
to market, according to shippers who
called at the governors office yester-
day. Mills at Salina are on the verge
of closing down. Western banks are
close to the breaking point under f.
nancial strain caused by the car short
age. And the promised 500 cars a
day are filtering in at. the rate of
about 125 a day, the Union Pacific
not having received any increase in
allotments to date.
