THEY CALLED ON SEERS
Junction City Yet Searching Foi
Missing koepke Boy

Junction City and vicinity has
put In three days and nights
searching in vain for 5-year-old
Marvin KOepke who disappeared
from his fathers home 10 miles
east of Junction City Sunday
night. The Union says the theory
Is that he was on the road and hit
by a motor car, picked up and
carried away: ut is pointed out
that while traffic on this road as
a rule is very light, scores of
hunters in motor cars were In that
region on Sunday to take advan-
tage of the last day Of the quail
hunting season. while 1t was still
daylight when ne little boy start
ed from home 1t would have been
dark by the time he had reached
the spot in the road where his
trail was lost. Also, motor cars
laden with hunters would be
speeding along this road toward
home about the same time.
"At 4 o'clock last evening Ross
Zerbe and Fred Shane jumped In
their car, and drove to Clay Cen
ter for a seance with the colored
woman who has quite a reputation
in solving mysteries. The woman
stated that she could see the little
fellow In the main road, he was
hit by a passing car; the man
jumped out, picked the boy up
and the machine went across a
small bridge. After crossing this
bridge the driver drove out In q

Y y. tect >DepositoSs
rnuk Commissioner Foster, In
NJ &ronp meeting addresses. pre-
~ some very interesting and
1f1caut facts regarding the
w. u1 of The guaranty fund. Since
~ Nv came Into effect about
tvo,ts years ago, twenty-five
g,1arrn ntced banks have failed, the
fir 81 which was the Abilene
sta - hank. The guaranty FUND
W. drawn upon for about $2S,-
90 n finai settlement of the de-
posifors. claims, and that, the
CD missioner states, was the first
ana 6uly withdrawal ever made
frtm The fund. The other twenty
four falling institutions are now
II process of liquidation. The
commissioner states that of these
twenty -four, partial dividends
hsye been paid on behalf OF six,
tho amount Of these dividends
avsrAging about 81 per cent of the
claims, and there are other assets
upon which proceeds are yet to be
'realised. The commissioner esti-
mates thAt the assets Of these six
banks WIN be sufficient to dis
charge from 90 per cent to pos
sible rs per cent Of all claims, both
common and guaranteed.
Up to October I, 1922, commits
sionerss certificates representing
balances. shown by the books OF
the failing banks to be due de-
positors, have been issued to the
amount Of $3,961, $50. This does
hot include several recent failures,
lkhe amount Of which might swell
the aggregate Of commissioners
certificates to possibly $4,000
600. Applying the estimate, that
these twenty four banks may IL
Quidate themselves to the extent
OF q possible 75 per cent, the COM
missioner points out that the maxi
mum Of loss to the fund on claims
now pending is not likely to exceed
from $1.OO0.O0O to $1,250.000.
To meet these possible demands
upon the fund, there Is at this
time In cash in the hands Of the
state treasurer, belonging to the
fund, S738, ,43O.7 70, and in the bond
fund to secure the payment Of fu-
ture assessments, bonds aggregat-
ing $1,143,292. The cash fund is
with repositories bearing 2 per
cent interest, which inures to the
fund. The state, however, allows
the fund but per cent, whereas
at this time the state Is receiving
more than double that amount OF
interest. If the excess which the
state receives above what 1t al
lows the found could be available
to the fund, 1t would augment the
cash fund about 100000, and it is
the purpose Of the bank commits
sioner to ask the legislature to au-
thorixe the transfer Of this excess
intrest to the guaranty fund, in
which event the guaranty fund
would thereby be increased by that
amount and aggregate about $500,
OOD. This amount, together with
the periodical assessments, would
easily. the commissioner points out
quality the fund to take care OF
an the claims likely to be made
upon It.
Moreover, the final adjustment

CLEMSON TIGERS WIN
WITH THREE POINTS
Goal Near Close of Contest Only
Scoring in Game-Kick By Rob-
inson Downs Gamecocks.

Columbia, Oct. 27.-Perseverance
of Charley Robinson of Winnsboro,
enabled Clemson to defeat Carolina
3 to 0, in the annual fair week foot
ball classic here yesterday. The for
mer Mt. Zion high school halfback
believes that if at first one does not
succeed, try, try again. He had one
dropkick blocked but recovered the
ball and Immediately tried another
and when the ball was booted square
ly between the goal posts, the Tiger
was in. All this was within the last
few minutes of play.
The Clemson victory came as a
shock to at least 5000 of the $500
persons at the game. A most pleas
ant surprise to the Tiger followers,
but nevertheless a shock for few
minutes before Carolina players were
the gates of the Clemson
goal. The other 500 didn't see it or
were in the position of the w.k. mule
who didn't give a whoop.

GERMANY FACES
!. +: SERIOUS TIMES
FOREIGN FINANCIAL EXPERTS
TO BERLIN-FIRST DAYS OF
NOVEMBER MAY A G A / N
PROVE FATEFUL, THE NEWS
PAPERS THINK. 3D..

Berlin, Oct. 26.-The first days of
November, which once brought revo-
luton to Germany, again may. prove
a fateful section of the calendar for
the republic, in the opinion Of news
paper commentators discussing to-
day the simultaneous announcements
that Germany has invited foreign
financial experts here to advise her
on the question Of stabilizing the
mark and that the reparations COM
mission alse is coming to Berlin.
The coincidence of the two latest
developments in Germany's turbu-
lent financial situation, says the
Boersen Courier, makes it look as If
the authorities on both sides were
""trying to beat each, other to it" on
some definite decision. The, newspap-
er holds that the governments invi-
tation.'f to the international experts
lis at least clever: political move,
since. the affairs to be dealt with are
such as the foreign countries will
take a hand in anyway. The fact
that representatives Of outside pow
ers have been asked to look over con-
ditions for themselves, the journal
adds, will make it easier for Ger
many later to oppose financial super
vision. .
The Boersen Zeitung thinks "it
rings like a bad joke to hear that the
very moment when the fall in the
mark has driven German finances to
the edge of an abyss, the reparations
commission, under initiative of M.
Barthou (the French chairman OF
the commission,) is breaking its
head over the question how to
squeeze a couple more billions OF
paper out of the German people
through new taxes"
1--WE fear that the efforts of Sir
John Bradbury (the British repre-
sentative on the commission) in the
face of such charlatans are expert
ments directed toward futile OBJ
iect," the newspaper concluded.

HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
FOR DEMOCRATS
TO REDUCE MAJORITY IN LOW
Err HOUSE-DEMOCRATS BAD
LY HANDICAPPED BY LACK
OF FUNDS-ONLY SMALL DO.
MADE

Washington, Oct. 26.-Available
members of the Democratic national
committee with Chairman Cordell
Hull and Harrison Nesbit Of Pitts
burgh, chairman Of the finance COM
mittee, met tonight in local head
quarters and, after canvass of the
situation, announced satisfaction
with the prospects. With the forego-
ing, Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,,
chairman of the senatorial campaign
committee and Representative Nc
Clintick of Oklahoma, chairman Of
the campaign committee Of the house
consulted. Senator Pat Harrison,
who has completed a speaking tour
in Oklahoma and Kansas and is now
en- route to New Jersey and Connec-
ticut, attended and reported on con-
ditions in the section he had visited.
1t was announced following the
meeting that Democrats would great
ly reduce the Republican majority
in the house and may win, the house,
that Democrats would hold their own
in races for the senate. with the in
dications favorable, for gain Of one
or two in the East. The leaders de-
clared, however, woeful handicap
in lack of money and expressed con-
viction that if they were able even to
send all available speakers into
doubtful districts and meet their re-
ouirement for advertisement they
would certainly win the house.
It is learned that when the nation
al committee renders some time this
week its, collections and disburse!
ments, it will be shown that contri-
buttons to both campaign committees
and the national committee have to-
tailed not more than 100000. The
Republican national committee will
expend $500,0O0.
More significant than the. actual
shortage of money are the desertions
of liberal contributors who have kept
the wheels moving in past campaigns.
The receipts thus far have come al
most entirely from the little fellows
who always can be counted on for
donations of 81 to 500.

Twenty years ago yesterday the
University of South Carolina foot
ball team defeated Clemson College
IL to 6, and repeated the dose every
year thereafter for seven years; but
luck changes every seven years, and
since that time Carolina has had to
fight for every inch of the ground
she has won; but next year will be
the grand slam, because another
change is due in 1928, for added to
the mystic sevens will be the number
three, and you can look for some
thing doing in 1923.

was reached today where the largest
crowd in point of numbers in the

approximation of the number of
people attending the fair has been
reached, Tonight, the crowds were
almost equal to those of the day.
OF course the great attraction
was the University of South Caro-
lima and Clemson football game
and while the friends Of the uni
versity were greatly disappointed
at the victory Of Clemson yet they
were real sports, and admitted that
Clemson deserves her success. -.
One of the noticeable things on
the grounds was the large number
of children present from babies in
arms to youths and, maids in their
teens, and all were "having the time
Of their. lives" All the concession
ariis on the, grounds wore broad
gins and emuulated a, perpetual
motion machine. :M:,g..'---;,..
