OKLAHOMA BANK INSURANCE.
State Banking Board Provides for Na-
tional Banks.
Guthrie, Okie., Feb. 6.—The State
Banking Board haa formulated the
procedure under which Oklahoma Na-
tional Banks may avail their deposi-
tors of the State guaranty law, and
has directed a letter carrying that in-
formation to the 300 such institutions
in the State. It is stated that a Na-
tional hank will be required to first
apply to the State Bank Commission-
er, upon which the hank will be ex-
amined If the bank is found In a
satisfactory condition, the board will
requite a contract stipulating that
such National bank agrees to pay the
assessments and abide by the provis-
ions of the state banking met, to the
extent of insuring the deposits. The
contract is to be ratified by the stock-
holders of each bank at a meeting
held for that purpose.
An amendment to the State banking
law is pending in the bouse, which
supplies for the consent of the comp-
troller of the currency, the sanction
of the individual stockholders and
makes the guaranty of National banks
puurely a contract between them and
the state of Oklahoma. The board has
given notice that the only exception
in the application of the law to Na-
tional banks will be that wherein the
method of liquidation might conflict
with the National banking provisions,
the method providod by the comptrol-
ler of the currency shall govern. In
all other respects it is to be a Btate
provision.

The continued decrease of children
of school-going age In the rural sec-
tions Is pointed out by a prominent
school official in Kennebec county. He
declares that In a Kennobec county
town where 20 years ago there was
the second largest district In the
town there are now but two children
attending achool. In another section
in the oounty where then there were
three large districts the schools have
been combined and only eight of ten
scholars are attending that school
He knows of one stretch of road
where there are 11 houses, a distance
of three miles, and the only children
are one girl, 11 years old, and one
baby.—Lewiston Journal.

Neceesity for Harmonious Co-Opera-
tion if the Highest Interests of the
People of a Community Be
Best Subserved.
Cities and towns are the natural
outgrowth of the inborn desire in man
to fraternize in a protective aa well
as in a social way. Primitive man il-
lustrated a high type of individualism.
Examples of his methods can be
found in the barbarous, wandering
tribes in some sections of the world
to-day. As far as possible, he existed
independent of his fellow creatures.
Like the wild animal, he tracked down
his prey and subsisted the best he
could. A natural law binds together
creatures of certain types. As intel-
ligence in man developed, a sense of
interindependence directed that tribal
methods of living in community be
put in force. This was necessary for
self-protection and for defense against
attacks of common enemies.
As far back as evidence can be
found relative to man's existence,
there existed resident places corre-
sponding to our present “home towns.”
With the advancement of civilization,
methods of living became revolution-
ized. One resident of a community
found that his interests were best sub-
served by dependence upon other
members and by close co-operation with
them. In modern life, there are many
complex conditions which make neces-
sary the recognition of obligations of
one person to another. The small city
or town of to-day affords an illustra-
tion of the highest type of communal
relationship. Here is found ideals as
to co-operation and a full recognition
of the necessity of harmonious labor,
not for self alone, but for others of the
community. It Is by thiB co-opera-
tion that the highest type of society
is built up. It is by this harmonious
action that churches are builded,
schools maintained, public libraries
for the enlightenment of the people
supported, roads kept in condition and
all conveniences for mutual Inter-
change in the social and commercial
life recognized as necessary.
A town cannot in itself exist. It
must draw the subsistence for its peo-
ple from the surrounding country.
The basis of the city or town is agri-
culture. The growing of food stuffs
must be in order that people shall live.
An agricultural town of a thousand
population cannot exist by itself alone,
but must draw its support from the
contiguous territory. Those residing
upon the farms find the town an es-
sential to their welfare and enjoyment.
Thus a community must be consid-
ered an entire and indivisible social or-
ganization, in which each member
participates in whatever prosperity
and general advancement exists with-
in It. Thus we find that all compris-
ing the community have equal inter-
est in increasing its prosperity, its
wealth and all its moral, social, edu-
cational and commercial advantages.
This participation is not exclusive to
those residing within the limits of the
town, but must be enjoyed by the resi-
dents and the workers on the adja-
cent farms, and all who labor within
the radius of which the town is the
center. Perforce of this, the town be-
comes the apex of the social activity,
as well as that of a business nature.
And the social and the commercial are
so entertwined that one is necessary
for the other.
A spirit of mutual co-operation
shou)d permeate all of a community.
Each and every one comprising tho
communal organization of a district
has equal interest with the others.
There can be no affair important to
the townspeople but which is also im-
portant to the farmers and others of
the community; and there can be no
affair of interest to the dwellers In the
rural district but is of equal Import to
the residents of the towns.
How desolate, how monotonous and
how Isolated Is the life on the farm
without a home town. In human kind
social instincts are predominating.
Unless social desires are gratified
there Is despondency. The records of
our insane asylums prove that from
the isolated farms, where social In-
tercourse through certain conditions Is
most restricted, comes the majority of
Inmates of these institutions. With-
out social Intercourse Intelligence is
benumbed and Ignorance prevails.
Then how important It Is to the resi-
dents of rural districts that the pros-
perity of the home towns be encour-
aged. There Is the social feature, the
educational, the moral and religious,
and aa Important as any and most es-
sential for the highest perfection, Is
the business relations. The more
prosperous the home town the more
prosperous are the farmers residing
within Its trade radius, because the
livelier the town the better the home
markets.
There are complications in the busi-
ness world to-day and the building up
of systems of business that interfere
with the highest development of the
small cities and towns. Railroads,
telegraph, telephone, rural delivery—
all has tended towards enhancing life
in the country. But these means have
also encouraged justness methods that
work against the higher development
of community Interests. In order that
thefhome town exists, there must be
employment for those who reside
within it. This employment-le solely
dependent upon the town's commer-
cial and manufacturing interests.
Thus we find that the home town in
reliant upon the trade, not. alone of
those who reelde within It, but ot
those in the surrounding country. Any
system that robs the home town of
this trade la contrary to highest eco-
nomic law. Such a system retards
progress and works against all within
the feommunity. Dependent upon the
prosperity of the home town are the
degrees of efficiency of the schools,
the classes-of churches, the libraries,
the public halls, improvement of
streets and public conveniences of
every class and kind. In accordance
with the increase ot wealth new indus-
tries come into existence to give em-
ployment to a greater number of peo>
pie, and thus carrying on an upbuild-
ing process.
In summing up conditions as they
relate to the community and the home
town, it is patent to the man of intelli-
gence that the patronizing of every
borne enterprise best subserves his in-
terests, as well as the Interests of all
of the community. The patriotic man
who would be a model citizen will
make it his rule to put forth every
effort to build up the local community.
This effort should be directed to the
patronizing of every home industry;
to keep within the community aa far
as possible all the earnings of the peo-
ple; to invest surplus capital in home
enterprises; to improve the schools,
the churches, the roads, develop every
resource of the place; and with in-
creased prosperity of the town more
happiness, more contentment and
more wealth results to all the worthy
ones comprising the community.

Remember that trusts and combina-
tions are never builded up in the

"SECONDS” OR "OFF” GOOD8.
How They Are Disposed Of by Big
Manufacturing Concerna.
Manufacturers who put out their
goods under brands are watchful as to
keeping their output up to the stand-
ard. Big concerns whose goods are
widely advertised and are known for
their excellency will not allow defec-
tive articles to go from their factories.
Everything la Inspected, and it must
be perfect before the brand is allowed
to be marked upon it.
In the large cutlery factories, the
silverware manufacturing plants, the
collar and shirt factories, and the like,
regardless of what care is exercised,
defects will be found in a certain per-
centage of the work turned out. In
cutlery the temper of a blade may be
uneven; the handle may be marred,
the lining may be imperfect, and all
such defects cause the knife to be
discarded, that is, thrown out and not
marked with the brand, if the maker
has a reputation to maintain. In shirt
factories the defective shirts are
placed aside Just the same, and so It
is with hundreds of manufactured
articles. Ail these articles are dead
loss to the manufacturer unless they
be remodeled, or disposed of at a cost
covering the expense of the raw mate-
rial and the time of employers used
in their making. Thus manufacturers
welcome a means of “playing even,"
of disposing of this damaged stock so
as to prevent loss.
Ip many cases the damaged goods
are sold to "Job-lot” men who auction
them off to small jobbers. But the
majority of these goods are sold by
contract to large houses located in the
big cities, and it may be said that
fully per cent, of the goods that
these houses handle are either of the
damaged class known as “seconds” or
prison made or contract goods, cheap-
ly turned out in sweat houses.
A number of concerns have con-
tracts with these houses for all the
“off” goods made. These goods are
wrapped up in such a way as to cover
their defects. The concern buys them
for about 30 to 40 per cent, below
prices at which perfect goods can be
had in the markets. Thus it can be
seen how some concerns can make low
prices on goods that look about as
well as regular dealers carry, but
which are far inferior.
Were there only large cities, how
poorly would fare the farmers and
the others who toll for a livelihood.
Commercial Travelers Interested.
There are more than 100,000 com-
mercial travelers in the United
States. These men are trade mis-
sionaries. They are a very necessary
cog in the commercial wheel. While
there are some who take the view
that they are not producers, they are
nevertheless Important in the system
of distribution of that which is pro-
duced. The successful traveling man
is a close student of human nature.
His vocation is such as calls for a
high class of intelligence, particularly
as to trade conditions and the lines
which he represents. His keen ob-
servation of the trend of affairs has
made him a pronounced home-trader.
He realizes that his interest lies in
protecting the business of the small
city and town. Were trade In mer-
cantile lines concentrated in the
large cities, the field for the traveler
would be narrowed. Thus we find
him a strong combatant of systems
that mean concentration. Circum-
stances have made him as equally In-
terested in protection of local trade
of merchants as the merchants them-
selves, and he Is also interested on
this account in the welfare of the peo-
ple who are the customers ot the
merchants. The force and power of
tho great army of travelers in the
United States is not to be considered
lightly. Their influence Is wide-
spread. They will bo found quite
willing to work most harmoniously
with the townspeople and the resi-
dents ot rurql districts in tho matter
of home protection.

That town which has not sufficient
Industries to employ its people la sure
