Suit in Wilkin-Hale Bank Case
Filed By State Bank
Commissioner.
Naming: John M. Hale, vice presi-
dent of the Wilkin-Hale bank, and
John H. Rebold, Okmulgee banker,
now under indictment in connection
with the failure of the Bank of Com-
merce of Okmulgee, defendants, in a
suit for $20,000, suit was filed in
district court Friday by Roy Wal-
cott, acting bank commissioner. Wal-
cott acts for the" Wilkin-Hale State
bank, which closed its doors March 7.
It was alleged that Rebold bor-
rowed $20,000 from the Wilkin-Hale \
bank and gave four notes which have ,
not been paid. As security for the j
notes, it was alleged that he gave ,
seventeen stock certificates, worth
$7H,750 at their face value, but now I
worthies*, and a mortgage on Okla-
homa ( ity property, declared to be |
of little value because it is super-
ceded by a first mortgage. This was
said to have been done Dec. 2, 1921.
The notes were to be paid in 120 |
days, and were to bear 8 per cent
„ Interest. They were endorsed by
John P. Cook, who is named as aj
defendant in the case. It was as-
serted that demands for the payment
of the notes have been often made,
but they say Rebold has refused to
pay them.
Twelve other parties were named I
as defendants in the suit; they were
lnvolvfed through connection with
the property named in the litigation.
EL RENO PROBE
Three Bank Officials Arrested
—Disclosures May Come.
The announcement of Fred Park-
inson, state examiner and inspector,
that he would begin his probe into
the affairs of the defunct Commer-
cial State bank of El Reno Monday
came coincidentally with the arrest
of three of the defunct bank officials
at Fl Reno on charges of receivim
THE LEADER'S FUTURE
The start on the 10,000 new readers has been made.
The first $4 for a new reader came from one of the "old
guard" of 600, from Mrs. A. M. Cronkite, who is sending
the LEADER for a year to a newly married couple, so
they can get the "right start."
The prosperity of the LEADER and that of its read-
ers is closely connected. The one can not prosper without
the other. In this morning's mail we have twenty-one let-
ters each containing one dollar to pay for the Leader
for three months. Nearly every one of these letters state
that one dollar is all that can be spared at this time, that
later on the renewal will be sent for an entire year.
Harvest time in the wheat sections of the state is
nearly upon us. We want to urge our readers in those
sections to send us their renewals for a year just as soon
as they can. It is from the wheat sections that we are
expecting the big increase in our circulation at this time.
The cotton farmers will have no money for many months.
Their renewals will come to us in the fall of the year.
Last year wheat was marketed at about the low point.
The speculators and the milling interests secured practi-
cally the entire benefit from the gradual raise in the price
of wheat. Another crop will soon be ready for the mar-
ket. Again the speculators have seen to it that the price of
wheat is down when the farmers have wheat. Bring this
to the attention of your neighbors who arc not taking the
LEADER at this time, have them become Leader readers.
They will then be ready to join you in co-operative and
political undertakings that will put the food speculators
and profiteers out of business. The speculators and mill-
ing interests secured all the way from ten cents to fifty
cents a bushel on every bushel of wheat raised by the
farmer last year. They robbed both the producer and the
consumer.

Charges of irregularities, includ-1
ing high salaries and free member-
ships, in the handling of the Okla-
homa City Club, were made in an
answer filed in district court Friday,
by M. B. Armstrong, against whom
the club had filed suit to collect a
S^'ii membership fee.
Armstrong declares in his answer
that John Shartel has been paid a
salary of $10,000 during the last
year; that George Frederickson. for-
mer chamber of commerce president,
and Henry G. Snyder, attorney, were
given free memberships; and that
original promises were not carried
out.
Armstrong declared that the solic-
itor who obtained his membership
mispresented the proposition to him,
declaring that 300 other men had al-
ready signed. This, he asserts, was
untrue. He charges that some
names were forged to the member-
ship rolls. The answer declares that
the name of S. M. Gloyd, lumber
merchant and now member of the
Gloyd-Halliburton firm, appeared on
the list, when in reality Gloyd was
not then, and is not now a member.
W. R. Molinard, now dead, was
also falsely represented as a mem
ber, Armstrong declares. Molinard
was an official in the Oklahoma Gas
and Electric company.
Armstrong claims that when his
membership pledge was obtained, he
was led to believe a contract existed
between the Farmers National bank
and the Oklahoma City club, calling
for a joint building program, and
that the structure to be erected
would be eight stories tall, with a
I corner location, the ground floor and
a number of upstairs rooms t-j be
rented out to help defray expenses
of upkeep. Now, he asserts, he has
learned that no contract existed with
the bank; that the building is to be
seven stories tall; that the first floor
. is not to be rented out, and that the
he premieiship Upper floors are so constructed that
it will be impractical to rent out a

Host Who Shocked Neighbor-

Jail Fare.
KALAMAZOO, June 9.-Ilefus-
ing to eat the "rotten" jail ra-
tions. Robert Everard, one of the
city's wealthiest young men and
a chum of John Duval Dodge,
Jr.. of Detroit, commenced his
fifth day of diet of coffee and tea
in the city Jail. Everard is serv-
ing a 3o days' sentence for hav-
ing been host to a "wild party"
held at his mansion here, in
which the feature of the evening
was an "Adam and Eve" dance
held in his garden. Shocked
neighbors notified the police and
the three women and three meu
were placed under arrest.
Everard has gained the ill will
of practically the whole aggre-
gation of prisoners by insisting
upon a private cell and that h«
have special meals sent in to
him. Both of these have been
refused by the jail authorities.
Now the other prisoners make
life miserable for the son of
wealth and he spends a great
deal of his time crying for his
mother.

Witnesses told the police judge

At Meeting
Commissioners Think More of
"Economy Showing" Than
of Children's Needs.
Miss Novella Gould, superin-
tendent of the United Provident
Assn., expressed confidence Fri-
day that the city commissioners
would approve the appropriation
of $10,500 for the erection of a
new bu'lding to serve as a day
nursery for little children left
In the care of the association.
Thursday afternoon, however,
the commissioners engaged in a
livelv tilt over the proposition.
Joe Patterson, commissioner of
public property, who, according
to Mike Donnelly, was the log-
ical commissioner to provide for
the children's home, balked at
putting the amount in his bud-
get.
"It's up to you. Joe" said Bob
Pannan, commissioner of public
safe>.
"It is not." retorted Patterson.
"It's the business of the welfare
department."
Patterson suggested that Don-
nelly take it. Donnelly said it
was illegal for him to take it.
Patterson then proposed a "gen-
eral fund'' and a superintendent
to have charge of all welfare
work of the city. This was
voted down. The question will
come up again Tuesday.
Mayor Walton was not present,
at the commissioners' meeting,
but inasmuch as he made the
original proposal that the city
take over the financing of th ;
Provident association following
the failure of the chamber of
commerce and the civic commit-
tees to raise sufficient funds fo*
the welfare institutions in the
recent drive, it was hoped that
the mayor would include the
matter in his budget if he could
legally do so.

wheat that cost the farmer $2.50. he was compelled to
sell for $1.20. Under such conditions, it is impossible

The farmer should organize and light for a minimum
price. The farmer is as much entitled to a minimum
price for his products as labor is entitled to a mini-

The existing struggle which was born in Shawnee
h nply co-operation on the part of the farmer as a
citizen on the political tield. Co-operation of the
farmer on the political held alone will not save him.
The politlca' organization Is simply the advancing
cavalry which locates the enemy and holds the line as
lust it may until the infantry arrives on the field.
! It is the infantry that must do the heavy fightinp. The
I Farmers' Industrial Co-operative Association is the in-
fantry, and without Infantry the farmer is (loomed to
: defeat. He is opposed by forces that use cavalry, in-
fantry and have a well supplied commissary.
In* my judgment it is at this point the farmers of
North Dakota made a fatal mistake. Thi
not supported by infantry- they tailed to
infantry.
If the farmers will organize on the Industrial field,
150,000 strong, and I am elected Goevrnor
} o . assistance to them. They not
grain or cotton in warehouses b««. t o! .__aber, but
they can store them in warehouses built of cement.
And If the fanners will organize and be wise enough
to proceed one step at a time, they can and will stick
together, and a cement mill owned by the state can
be built and equipped that will furnish them building
material. They can then build on their farms, gran-
it lies to hold their wheat, and elevators on sidetracks
i ii, the town. Such buildings would be fireproof, and
under friendly state banking laws, w ith warehouse cer-
tificate, they could borrow money at ;t reasonable rate
o|- interest." The fanners could initiate a petition of
this kind, and with the aid of organized labor, it can
be carried and made a law; and 1 can assure th'
that if they hie such a petition I will call
election, anil that such special el
(ailed In harvest time.
TI.i tate constitution expressly authorized the atat
