kalispalI Men Propose
To Promote Refinery

Articles of incorporation have
been flied for the Kalispell Oil
Refining Company with author
lied capital stock of $4,000 and
shares are placed at $1.00 par.
1t is a proposition "of Kalispell,
by Kalispell, for Kalispell," say
the men heading the move, and
listens good to the average citlz-
en-. Among those already sub
scribed are the Bjorneby Broth
ers and |. w. Hanson, who have
put over some large deals in rec
ent years and always gave the
public a square deal.
In looking over these stock
companies local people have
learned that all that glitters does
not bring the gold and the aver
age promoter must show the
goods before any deep interest is
taken in their scheme for huge
profits. Dig into all the details.
Just how much stock does the
promoter reserve as a rakeOtf.
How much pay is the solicitors
to receive in stock reservations
and cash. In fact it is a graft
or, is it a bona fide investment
and community enterprise.
The Kalispell Oil Refining COM
pany invites the closest inspec-
ton of all the details of their
proposed oil refining industry.
They are home men, whose rep
utation for honor and integrity
has never been questioned and
they lay all their cards on the
table for your inspection.
It's a fact beyond dispute that
the refining end of the oil game
is the safe bet. There is very
little expense in the operation,
no expensive buildings are re-
CURED and the profits are big in
proportion to the investment.
Kalispell is an ideal location for
a refinery and if possible our
people should get into the game.
The city is being flooded with
literature by some outside COM
pany for the promotion of a re-
company. 1t may be a
good proposition, out before
placing their money many care
fulinvestors will look carefully
into the organization. If found
all right they should also be en-
couraged. There is room fer
several refineries in this territory
and all would contribute to the
general prosperity. Flathead

WHY BANKS?
LESSON II

= BY J n. PUELIcHER, Chairman,
Z Committee o n Public Education, American Bankers Association.
s. . Why does Government charter banks-simply to
2 make money for stockholders, OF because banks ar
j needed By the public? What is a bank? Text books
9 &HENMX& say, "a bank is a quasipubhc corporation, char
j tered by State r Nation, to receive deposits and
9 Y&NMMMY make loans"
5 WWI2 STOCKHOLDERS = owners.
j QUASI-PUBLIC Z semipubRc-that is, owned by
RM private stockholders, but regu-
- lated by government to see that
j.. H. PueIlcher the depositors' money is safely
loaned.
STATE BANK CHARTER = privilege, grant or right to do a bank
ing business under supervision Of the
State Banking Commissioner.
NATIONAL BANK CHARTER = grant to do business under super
vision of the Federal Comp
troler of the Currency.
SUPERVISION Il the sending by government of examiners, at least
once a year, into a bank without notice, to count
its cash, examine its loans, bonds and mortgages,
and see if it's books are correct.
Banks can do only those things permitted in their charters. No bust
ness is more closely watched and regulated by State o Nation.
Banks cannot, therefore, be run simply to make money for stock
holders, but r chartered to meet the needs of the people and
are held to that purpose by government supervision.

Mamie do not see with her eyes, nor

flow. 1t was great while it lasted,
and it was something that those
who make a cold-blooded arranged
marriage never know.
To endure a loveless marriage re-
quires a heroism greater than that of
any martyr who was ever done to death
by slow torture. The best man and
woman in the world are so full of little
disagreeable whims and crochets, they
have so many offensive little peculiari-
ties, they are so given to exasperating,
nagging ways, they have so maly little
prejudices that have to be sidestepped.
and so many little vanities that must
be catered to, that living with them in
the close contact of daily life requires
perpetual sacrifice and self-abnegation.
The only thing that can make it
talerable is the love that makes you
so blind to another's faults that you
do not see them, and that makes
their idiosyncracies dear to you in
stead of getting on your nerves.
Therefore the one important
thing in marriage is love. 1t isn't
what the person really is that
counts; it is your mental attitude
toward him or her. Beauty is in
the eye of the beholder, and we only
see virtues in those we admire.
This is particularly true of women,
and there isn't wife in the world who
wouldn't rather have to forgive the sins
of a scapegrace husband she loves than
endure the virtues of model husband
to whom she is Indifferent.
As a matter of fact, there is no set
of standard virtues that makes a man
good husband. He may be moral, up
right, sober, Industrious, a good provid-
er, kind, and yet make his wife utterly
wretched simply because there is no
congeniality between them. They may
look at everything from different stand
points, have different ideals and clash
on every subject from politics to pie.
Nothing make for domestic har-
mony, and the solidarity of mar
riage as much as for a man and
woman to have the same tastes, to
enjoy doing the same things, dis
cussing the same topics, and eating
the same kind of food. That is why
every one has a right to pick out
the kind of wife or husband he
or she wants, and why nobody can

OF course, on the Dorothy Dis
Continent and in the
Orient all marriages
are arranged by the parents, ana, curl
ously enough, there are fewer divorces
in those countries than there are IN
America and England, where girls make
their own selection of life mates, and
follow the dictates of their hearts In
marriage.
This however, does not prove that
parents are better judges of the kind of
husbands and wives their children should
have than the young people are them
selves, for in the countries where this
custom prevails marriage is matter OF
business, and not an affair of sentiment.
People marry to join two fortunes, or
unite two pieces of land, or for some
pecuniary or social advancement. not
for love. The prosperity of the family
is the only thing that counts, not the
happiness of the individual.
We Americans are too individualistic
for that. We want our own happiness,
and, like Artemus Ward, are of the Opin-
ion that posterity has done nothing for
us, so we are called upon to make no
sacrifices for it.
Therefore, we marry to please
ourselves, only to find out in too
many cases that we don't like our
bargain, after all, when we get it
home. Still, even then, we have
had our great moment. We have
had the glory and the circling wings
of romance. We have had the thrill
and the joy of getting our hearts
desire. We have seen our dreams
come true and had our cup over
