Alarmed by the explosions, towns

Running from the bank, the gunner
tried in vain to start their automo-

owned by L. H. Allen, merchant.
The Allen car was locked, and the
bandits then jumped into small tour

mail carrier, and drove out of town.
Frank Flowes, cashier of the bank,
one of the citizens aroused by the ex-

Warnings were sent out from there.
The bandits worked in the bank for

cashier, and took practically every
thing of value except contents of the
safe deposit boxes.

Important to ALI Women
Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove TO be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, n. Y, you may receive sam

MANY POSTS SEEK TROPHIES
Legion Organizations Display Great
Interest in Honors to Be Award
ed at National Meeting.

Competition for membership is keen
Legion this year, due to the plan to
present national trophies and awards
to the departments making the best
showings before the fifth annual ma
tional convention in San Francisco
this fall.
Legionnaires will strive for two
principal trophies-the Hanford Mae
Nider and the Franklin D'Olier tro-
phies. The department that has the
highest percentage of members as COM
pared with the membership total for
the year 1922 will win the MacNider
cup, which is presented by the Iowa
department. The Georgia department
won this cup at the New Orleans con-
vention and is leading in the race this
year.
The D'Olier trophy has not yet been
awarded, as 1t was first announced at
the New Orleans convention. The de-

A gold plate will be awarded to each
department winning trophy. This

There will be presented each year

FATHER IS BARRED
His .Year.Old Roy. However, Car
Enter Country.

Portals of the immigration wall
around the United States have been
opencd to a six-year-old Syrian youth
Int they have been closed to his
father. This unusual situation IN
which a child is a citizen of the
United States and the father an alien
vainly seeking TO enter. has been re-
ported to the San Antonio district
immigration headquarters following
the apprehension of the man and the
bow near Laredo recently.
According to REPORTS received here,
the Syrian came TO the United States
in 1905. During the sixteen years
he resided in this country he married
and became the father of three girls
and one boy. who by virtue of their
birth in this country became Ameri-
can citizens. :.

BANK RULES DEFINED
National Institutions Can Have City
Branches, Daugberty Says.

Washington, ID. C.. Oct. Ma
tional banks may establish branches
within the cities. Of their location for
the receipt of deposits and the cash
ing of checks, but such branches may
rot engage in a general manking busi-
ness. Attorney General Daugherty
holds in an opinion just submitted TO
Comptroller OF the Currency Dawes.
Explaining the opinion TO the joint
congressional banking committee, Mr..
Dawes said he is of the opinion that
branches for the performance of even
these limited functions could not be
esta blished in places where the state
laws or practices prohibit state banks
from rendering similar services.
Discussing the branch banking bust
ness at length, the comptroller de-
clared that the development of such
banking. unless curbed. will mean the
destruction OF the national banks and
of the federal reserve system and the
substitution OF highly centralized,
privately controlled reserve system.
He urged that the federal reserve
board be given power 10 refuse admis-
sion to the reserve system of insti-
tutions engaged in general branch
banking and 10 curb further extension
of this principle by member banks.

New York. Oct. AFTER the very

the trading element was looking for
some reaction today. The theory was
that the recovery had been too rapid
and that the position had been weak

the previous days.
No pronounced reaction. however,
occurred in the early trading. Prices
opened with varying changes. and this
irregularity continued for the first
hour or so.
