methods have been satisfactory, and that the gjople h^ve
the utmost confidence in the integrity of this bank and in
its continued prosperity. This is evidenced by the fact that
the increase of thirty thousand dollars in capital and sur-
plus was greatly over-subscribed by our home people and
all taken by them. With our present ample capital and
surplus we feel competent to meet the constantly growing
demands of our busijjgss, and beg to offer to the public the

Parents' Conference.
The parents’. conference, look-
ing to the betterment of our pub-
lic schools, held at the public
school building last Friday dight,
was not as large as it was hoped
to have it, or as it- should haye
been, owing to sickness and oth-
er attractions in town. This is
to be regretted, as there are prob-
lems of a serious nature pressing
upon us for solution; and these

Talks were made by Alex. H.
Smith, W.”H. Brymer and Rev.
W. T. Thurman. w
County Superintendent Ramsey
was present and urged upon our
• people the importance of placing
our school on a footing that
would meet the demands of the
present and the rapidly develop-
ing future.____________,_______ _______
Without any intention of in-
stituting -invidious comparisons,
Superintendent Ramsey called at-
tention to the fact thit Arling-
ton has more children and less
money and fewer teachers than
any of the schpols of the large
districts of the county. He gave,
in,illustration of the statement,
the following facts and figures:
Arlington with a scholastic
.pensus of. 592 pupils, has eight
teachers and a maintainance tax
of 10 cents. ‘
Mansfield has 275 pupils, seven
teachers and 20c tax.
Grapevine has 220 pupils, six
teachers and 25c tax.
Arlington Heights has 42 pu-
pils, two teachers and 50c tax.’
Washington Heights has 67
pupils, twp teachers and 5Qc tax.
Then when .we consider the
fact that it is estimated that the
number of pupils next year will
likely be a hundred more that we
already have,’"the situation is al
once appalling, and the question
presses upon us,
at, and what are you going to do
about-it?”. ■ .
It isn’t believed that the public
school has any enemies, but it is
felt that its friends are not alive
to the situation as it presents it-
self to us today.
Another conference
called soon, when it is hoped that
all other attractions may be
called off, and all come out to
discuss this most important meas-
ure and attempt its solution.
The conference will not be
called for the purpose of wind-
jamming or rag-chewing, but
briefly for the purpose of formu-
lating plans for thfc betterment of
our public school,

It is said that even among
women who have been so unfort-
unate as to have to secure a
divorce, that -few volunteers
would be found for sister Hydon’s

So after all we are much com-
forted in the thought that there
is to be no very general separation

the days of Ndahr * even yet we
shall .continue to marry and be
given in marriage.
Below we publish the recent
report of the Walter National
Bank at Walter, Okla. We pub-
lish the report of this far-off bank
because of the fact that our former

sons helped to establish the bank
and one of them, Jesse T. Saw-
yer, is now the assistant cashier
of the same. T^e-bank is eigh-

A Manless Eden.
For some time we have been
seeing much in, the papers about
a Mrs. Haydon buying a large
tract of land in South Texas on
which to establish “A Manless
Eden.”
No men are to be permitted to
be on it.
And parenthetically we will
say that we don’t think many
men would care ' to get mixed up
with such a crowd. ' The land is
to belong- to them and their
posterity forever and they are to
rule and reign over it and to
have dominion over it. We have
given this bold movement much
serious thought, and ’ many
vexations problems have present-
ecVthemselves for solution. One—
it seems to us the most serious
one, is how are these good sisters
going to prepetnate their popula-
tion. This we are aware is a
rather delicate question to put to
the promoters of this great
enterprise,* but is one that they
would have to meet and solve.
At first we saw it announced
that sister Haydon had bought
“a large tract of land,” and we
were dismayed lest it migt take
the biggest part of our helpmates
to stock it up. Later however
we have seen it stated that she
bought only about 300 acres, and
we have again taken heart, feel-
ing that we are not to be left with-
out a comforter.
300 acres is a rather small
territory, on which to start so
promising, and so formidable an
enterprise.- but after consulting
several ladies on the subject, we
believe that 300 acres would
amply accommodate all who
cared to embark in this up-to-
date way of doing things.
Indeed we have been assured
that no one except hopelessly
ugly faced and uglier tempered
.Radies would go at all.
