bankers cooperative security COM
pany.
The Bankers Deposit Guaranty
and Surety company has, been doing
business in Kansas twelve years. On
account of the illness OF Elmer

not look with favor on the proposal
and probably will not support the

found such difficulty In distinguish

that she was obliged to turn to the

Several girls were named Bobby and
Billy, or having other names had
used their nicknames. Other girls
were named ecil or Ercel or Freddie,
names which might as well belong to
boys as girls. Few boys had girls
names but there was sufficient con-

Production of southern hardwoods
has been very, seriously interfered

Industrial purchasers generally are
showing more interest in securing
lumber. The coal strike is slowing
down some railroads but in other
cases it is having the curious effect
of stimulating railroad buying. This
is explained by the fact that with
lessened traffic it is cheaper to make
repairs and additions, and conse-

repairs and extensions. In addition,
