In spite oi the financial flurry, tin

To witness the large crowd gathering,
one would think that there woulu
not be positions foi all when their
courses aro finished, but when wfl
stop to consider that we are living in
a commercial age, and that there is
an ever demand for thoroughly
trained office help, we readily see
that we never can get too many

trious young people.

The efforts of Oklahoma to guar-

annulled by the refusal of the comp-
troller of the currency to allow na-
tional banks to participate
'11 the largo cities of Oklahoma a
big per cent of the deposits are
state banks'.' It is h'irdl.v possible.
The only possible way bv which a
guarantee deposits law may bealfec-
tive is to have a national net for
national banks followed by state
legislation for state banks.
The world's stock of money, ac-
cording to the latest and most re
liable data obtained by the director
of the mint, amounted at the close
of the year 1900, according to the
comptroller of the currency, to $14,

there were at the same time

This guaranty law is a splendid

the course in the Capital City Busi-
ness Collego is quite different. It
not only gives a thorough practical
training in all the modern forms of
bookkeeping and accounting, buL
includes a thorough c rnrse in business
training, a knowledge of shorthand
and typewriting that enables its
graduates to hold the very best cler-
ical positions, pass the statutory
court reporters, examination, and
pass into positions paying $2,000.00
a year and upward. It gives three
courses, under the finest teaching
talent to be had, thorough courses in
English, Correspondence, Commer-
cial Mathematics, Commercial or
Business Law, Spelling, and W riting.

Young friend, take the editor's
advice, writp for catalog of this fa-
mous institution, and arrange to en-
irity privilege by paying the nec-
c.essary tax into the stato fund.
Many national banks were ready to
do this when the federal government
destroyed the divan by forbiding the
national banks to pay the tax.
The national banks of Oklahoma
are now prnyine for a national
guarranty law- A few of them are
thinking of denationalizing and
organizing under the state law.
Others believe that thi s course is not
necessary and that the strong 11a
tional banks will not suffer because
Oklahoma is guaranteeing the d
posits in state banks- Sonic even
believe that the strong state banks
will organize under the national
law io escape the state tax.
irlius it will l>e seen that Oklaho-
ma lias not settled anything by licr
state guaranty law.

thing iu Mie Oklahoma situation to

uncovered paper was estimated at
.3,132,000,000. It is of interest to
note that 82 per cent of the gold—
that is, *5,588,900,000—was held
by the following eight countries in
the order named: I nited States,
$ 1,503.300.(X); Germany, $1,030,-
300,000; Russia- $039,400,000;

gary, $300,4000,009; ltlay, $215,
500,000, and Spain, $90,9000,000.
The fame countries held 50 per cent
of the.stock of silver, the United
States leading with $098,700*000.
Forty per cent of the stock of un-
covered paper was also held by the
countries named, the 1 11'ted States
again coming first with §010,000,-

tioned, India had the largest stock
of gold,viz, $337,300,000.
