siderable trouble in court. Recently
he was indicted by a grand jury for
a statutory crime. When the case

as perjurers and petitioned the judge
to drop the case against Egan. In
writing the affair up in the Press,
Egan published an affidavit accusing
Waggoner Of framing the ase up.
Waggoner has now retaliated, by hay-

BRIDGEO S

Fire Marshal Bulletin We again
call attention to users of electric cur
rent to the danger of bridged fuses
Fires from these are increasing, and
every property owner or tenant should
see that at all times the fuses are in
proper condition; that when blown
out, they should be replaced with only
approved ones. Your local electric
light company will be glad to furnish
you with same at the cost of only a
few cents. Do not trust a copper cent
hairpin or piece of wire to stand be-
tween you and the streets. Heed this
warning at all times. The latest in
stance which has come to the atten-
ton of the state fire marshal's office.
is wherein one of the supporting
screws in a wall receptacle on the sec
ond floor of a double frame building
became loose and short circuited the
receptacle; the fuses blew out, and the
tenant throwing caution to the winds,
substituted copper cents for bridges.
Thirty feet of concealed wiring be.
tween the receptacle Of fuses grew red
hot and the insulation was ignited.
The fire fortunately, was discove4ed
in time and ex~tinguished by pulling
out the main switch. Prompt discov-
cry was all that saved the building
and contents from probable destruc.
ton. This is one of many cases on
record in the state fire marshals Of

men in the same community for the
Of it's development, the bank
is a service institution. The banker
must be posted on questions Of f.
nances to be a successful banker. He
must be a good business man and so
he becomes the business counsellor of
the community. He is the business
counsellor to the merchant, the grain
buyers, to the farmer and especially
to the young farmer who is just start
ing out and needs advice and help.
And so, the banker with his knowledge
of the money market and general bus
mess conditions, is always in a posi-
ton to render valuable advice to the
people in the community-and this
is service. In many instances, the bank
acts as trustee, and administrator. 1t
furnishes safe deposit vaults, sells let
ters Of credit, transmit funds to dis
tant points, aids in the promotion OF
new enterprises and in their organiza-
ton to safeguard the interests of in.
vestors and renders many services Of
this sort, week in and week out, with
out pay or profit.
The tie between the banker, the mer-
chant and the farmer should be much
stronger than it is. The banker should
more fully realize that the deposits
in his bank are after all the deposits
of the community and his first obi
cation is to use the communities
money to help the individuals of the
community toward progress. The To-
cal merchant should learn to use the
bank for all it is worth, and the bank
should learn to help the merchant
much more than it is doing TODAY.

takes the funds which is paid by the

m IG IRON was slow in yielding
 I to the inevitable deflation, hence has been slow to find rock bottom. But it has done so and is now stabilized. The volume of busi- ness is small, but the base price of $19 in the south and $20 and $21 in the north is firm, stocks are low, production is at a minimum and stocks are so badly assorted that melters find it difficult to secure the grades desired.
 The turn in cotton was long time in coming, buyers holding back un- til all had their mills operating at full turn, and called in salesmen. Looking about them, they saw the whole quondam surplus fall to pieces The buying movement began over night.
 Iron has been hit so hard that makers are extremely conservative in their outlook on the future, but the scarcity of the metal on hand is unacceptable and, on any kind of real buying movement, will become dominant factor in the trade. Max CTS are slow to resume and those in the south can postpone resumption to the day of actual necessity be- cause raw materials are at hand and they can start on days notice. Underproduction in the iron mar ket, according to the laws of trade, should have the same effect even- tully, as it has had in others. That effect was the changing from a buy ers' to a sellers market.
