TO FIGHT SYSTEM
State Bankers Oppose Branch
Banking Law in Kansas.
Issues Statement
on Position of Members.

The executive council OF the Kansas
State Bankers association, at it's reg
ular meeting here recently, went on
record as opposed to the principle and
extension of branch banking. Emma
d. Partridge, secretary of the asso-
citation, has announced that q commit
tee of three members has been ap-
pointed and instructed to draft reso-
luton as soon as possible against the
extension of branch banking in Kan
sas." The next regular meeting of
the state association will be held in
September, Miss Partridge said, but a
mail vote probably will be taken be-
fore then or q special meeting called
to consider the resolution as soon as
It is prepared.
The Kansas State Bankers associa-
ton. which is made UP exclusively of
state banks, Miss Partridge said, is OPP
posed to the bill now before congress
which provides for the establishment
of branches, not to exceed twelve in
number, by national banks in any city
or county having $4,000 population.
Another bill before congress, she said,
provides for national bank branches in
the states whose laws permit state
bank branches. The association is also
opposed. to this, she added.
Five States Have Law.
"Only five states-California,
Georgia, Tennessee, New York ami
Mississippi-nave so far passed laws
permitting the establishment of
branches" Miss Partridge said, while
eleven state bankers associations have
gone on record as opposed to the prin-
ciple and extension of branch bank
ing. In ten states the question has
been agitated to some extent. but as
yet the law has made no entry into
the statute books. A QUESTIONABLE
recently issued on this subject brought
out the fact that the great majority
of American bankers are opposed to
the establishment of branch banking
in our country. In 1916, the American
Bankers association in convention.
passed unanimously a resolution OPP
posing it's extension. In 1920, a bill to
the senate, but was killed in a house
committee. At the last convention of
the American association in October,
1921, the state, bank division went on
record as 'una1terably opposed to the
extension and principle of branch
banking and after reconsideration the
executive council of the association,
which had drafted a resolution favor
ing the extension, decided not to sub
init it."
A statement issued at the recent
meeting here, said:
I'VE, as state bankers, must realize
the danger and do our part in prevent
ing the extension of branch banking.
Every other country which has tried
branch banking, has gone thru a
period of trial and at last found it
self in the clutch of a gigantic monop-
oily which placed the whole financial
system at the mercy of syndicates and
scheining capitalists

Did you eveS wonder how State
Meteorologist S. D. Flora can tell what
the weather for the next day is going
to be?
The weather forecast is made from
a weather map which is charted daily
at each United States weather office.
This map shows each storm center in
the United States and in which direc-
ton it is moving. It also shows the
areas of high pressure or fair weather
and the directino in which they are
moving Flora knows just how far
each of these areas of weather can
travel in a day.
For instance. If there arc rains in
the Texas Panhandle on Monday 4here
will be rains in Topeka Oh Tuesday.
It takes the storm just that long to
reach Kansas. And according to B. r.
Laskowski, who is taking Flora s
place now. if there are high tempera-
lures on the gulf coast there are high
Temperatures in Kansas at the same
time.
The weather maps are made from
reports which are received in all the
weather stations of the United States
observations. At o'clock, 18th
meridian. time, each morning an OBJ
servation is made at every weather
station in the United States. All these
reports are IeIeSrdpneQ- TO the i've
forecast centers of the United States:
Washington, Chicago, San Francisco,
New Orleans and Denver. At the
forecast stations these reports are all
compiled into one large report tor
each district and telegraphed to each
station in the district. Topeka receives
its reports from Chicago.
The reports are sent in. code to re-
duce the telegraph expense. The air
pressure, air temperature, precipita-
ton, wind direction and wind velocity
of each station in ethe United States
are included IN the reports. From this
data each meteorologist is able to
make a weather map of the United
States showing where each storm and
fair weather area is and just how soon
it will reach his station.
In addition to the daily forecast
work, the Topeka station complies all
the Chronological data for Kansas,
issues road, corn and wheat bulletins,
and in the winter. a daily shippers
forecast.

NOT F0R THAT REAsog I
Restaurant Man Doesn't Stamp
Newspapers 70 Keep Patrons
From Carrying Them Away.


Clarence Scott is one of the veterans
of the restaurant game in Topeka.
One of the features of his service is
his habit of supplying to patrons an
adequate number of the latest avail
able edition IF the Topeka newspapers.
In large type across the top of each
copy is stamped SCOTS Restaurant
The stamping is done for a purpose
exactly the opposite of what one
might suppose.
1T isn't so much to keep the Gus
toners from walking off with the pa
pers,'' Scott says. ITS to make them
feel more free to pick them up and
read them.
"A customer sometimes feels hest
tant about grabbing a paper as soon
as another patron lays it down. for
fear that it might be the personal
property of the man who had been
reading 1t.
when the papers are plainly
stamped and evidently belong to the
restaurant, the next fellow in line feels
free to pick it up. It's mighty sell
dom that anyone deliberately walks
off with a paper, and that isn't the
reason for stamping Them

court of reason. It fights anything
like an Industrial court" And, This
attitude of organized labor at the
present Is centuries behind times" n
many other respects organized labor

serves much credit for the vast
amount of work it has done But I

we recognize that great oaks from

that serious disease and disability
may take their origin in these ap-
parently insignificant pathological
beginnings. As a part OF an eduoa-

school children has a very definite
place.
This coming year the entire bur-
den Of the nursing service in the

will fall upon the Child Welfare

service. To meet this. the Child
Welfare Commission has divided the
