three deserve special consideration.
The first of these, one generally
overlooked, is tucked away in the
section of the law governing with
drawals. After setting out the terms
on which Withdrawals can be made
the law adds this saving clause:
AT no time, however, shall more
than one-half of the unloaned funds
in the treasury be applicable to the
demands of Withdrawing sharehold-
ers without the consent of the board
of directors"
The purpose of this proviso is
quite clear. 1t gives directors power
to checkmate panic among the men,
bers and render a run on the insti-
tuition useless. On two occasions
this safeguard was quite generally
invoked-once in 1895 and again
in 1907, and proved notably effec-
tive.
The second line of safety consists
of state supervision and examination.
Examiners of the bureau of banking
check association books at least
once a year, or oftener if the need
arises. State supervision extends to
the articles of incorporation, the
constitution and bylaws, each Of
which must comply with the law as
the bureau interprets it, and no sub
sequent change is effective without
official approval.
The third safeguard consists Of
mutual self-interest, mutual helpful~
ness and first mortgage security
based on the homes of the people.
Notable Progress in Omaha.
The associations which have
grown up with growing Omaha are
esteemed the country over as mod
els of mutuality and prosperity. Four
of them were tested in the crucible
of 10 mighty lean years of the 'o0s-
years combining financial stress,
drouth, crop failure and unemploy-
ment. The strongest and the weak
est of state savings banks herea-
bouts went to the wall, each adding
to the tenseness of the financial
squeeze. Yet the associations
weathered the prolonged storm,
came out of it with very little loss in
resources, but vastly improved in
prestige and public confidence.
Twenty years of progress and
prosperity followed that remarkable
test of strength and safety. Asso-
Citations grew in numbers and in bus
mess. Ten associations with head
quarters in Omaha at the present
time have resources exceeding $780,
100000, or $3.50 per head for every
person counted by the census takers
in Omaha IS months ago. Prac.
tically all of this money is employed
in the upbuilding of the city, in
creasing the hosts of saving people.

owners and energizing all currents

nine associations in Omaha made
loans for the erection of 10,o55 new
buildings, most of them in the city
and nearly all of them homes.

At this he left the room and

Mr. Van Harritt did not want to

Chapter VII.

Mr.. Van Harritt thought that he
was Ruth's father in one way, and
in another way he was not sure
that he was her father because he
did not think that his wife had
married an American man.
Mr.. Van Harriet then left but
when he got to the bottom of the
steps to his establishment coming
in the door was Ruth's father.
Mr.. Van Harritt was very much
surprised because Ruth had told
him that her father was out of the
city.
Mr.. Van Harritt and Ruth's faith
er, Mr.. Heinonamos, met at about
the middle of the room Ruth's
father stared at Mr., Van Harritt
and Mr. Van Harritt stared at
Ruth's father. After a short pause
Mr.. Van Harritt said, please don't
tell Ruth that ! am her father"
and then he walked around Ruth's
father and went out the door
Ruth's father was very angry be
cause Mr.. Van Harritt had been to
see Ruth.
He went straight to Ruth's room.
He did not take time to knock but
just walked right in
Ruth was so astonished that
she did not know what to do or say
but finally said, Why, father, |

1t is better, in most cases, to try

Pitchers seldom attempt a throw

TRUCE MAY COME
in DRY CONTEST

\ Washington, Sept. 25. Formal dec
laration Of a truce in the senate fight
over the anti-beer bill and it's search
row. Suspension of hostilities is to
last, a few weeks, according to the
present outlook, or until the senate
disposes of the tax revision bill and
the Gcrman-Austrian and Hungarian
treaties.
When the tax bill is called up to-
morrow, Senator. Sterling (Rcpubli-
can) of South Dakota in charge of the
anti-bcer bill, plans to give way with
announcement of his understanding
that the "dry" bill shall be given right
of way after action on the tax measure
and the treaties. Meanwhile the treas
ury department is counted on by dry
leaders to withhold regulations per-
mitting manufacture and physicians
prescription of beer,
William j. Bryan today interviewed
in the beer bill fight by issuing
statement denouncing the alleged fill
buster against it.
"a filibuster by minority" said
Mr.. Bryan, who has been comforting
with proponents of the bill at the
capitol, "to prevent the enforcement
of a constitutional provision is about
as undemocratic procedure as could
be imagined, especially, constitu-
tional provision which outlaws cri-
minal traffic"
Mr. Bryan commended the search
and seizure clause in the conference
report Search warrants for private
dwellings should be required, he said,
but automobiles, he declared, should
be subject to search without war
rants.
"To require warrant before
searching suspected automobile"
said Mr.. Bryan, "would practically
nullify the law. The auto could get
into another county before war
rant could be secured. 1t is incon-
ceivable that any dry senator can be
deceived by the mock heroics of the
VETS"
