One day | was standing in
one of the leading stores in
town talking to a friend. We
had been watching wagons
loaded with cotton go by,
and naturally, we began to
discuss cotton. This friend
is a man who travels all over
the South, and he knows how
the cotton crops are in all
the southern states.

my friend, there was a Sc

them down to about half of

"Yet it seems to me that
there is a load of c9tton
passing through town every
hour of the day." said |.
Suppose we go down to the gin
and see just how much is coming in
my friend said.
When we arrived at the gin, we
could hardly get in for the wagons.
We went in and saw the cotton as
it went into the gin, and when it
came out in bale.
One man standing by us, said
You should see each one working
to get his bale ginned before the
next one gets in. The rush comes
in the morning. The negro from my
place was here before daylight with
his load"
We went in to see the manager of
the gin, and he said he ha3 only
ginned a half of day every day
since the gin opened. Last year.
he said, 1.-The crop was small and the
quality was not so god. This year
the crop will be of nearly normal

Following a number of weeks of FL

bank of Andale. Sedgwick county, was
closed today by the state banking de-
partment- Losses of the bank are eSti-
mated at $4,000 and may reach $780,

The Andale bank has been in trou-
BILE for some time according to in
formation in banking circles Heavy
loans to oil promoters and aid TO
questionable interests are reported to
have caused the bank much trouble
and resulted in greatly increasing
potable ultimate losses.
Not Under Guaranty Law.
Because the bank did not operate
under the state bank guaranty law,
the loss will fall entirely on the de-
positors. 1t is reported that stock
holders will not be able to clean up
the loss after paying the 100 per cent
assessment provided under the state
banking laws. Much of the desirable
paper of the bank is declared to have
gone to rediscount and many of the
notes in the Andale institution at this
time are said to be of a questionable
value. ]. H. Sandell, assistant state
bank commissioner, today directed the
closing of the Andale bank and is in
charge Of affairs.

have amounted to nearly 100000
with more than 100000 in redis-
counts.
The American State bank of Wich-
ita was principal correspondent for the
Andale bank. 1t is reported to have
held a large amount of the paper
passed in rediscounts of the closed in
stitution.
Harry ]. Van John was cashier of
the bank and in active charge of its
affairs, according to reports received
in Topeka Arm Id Ven John, a
brother of the cashier, is president.
