MAIL GUARDS ON ROCK
ISLAND TRAINS 23 AND 24
Registered Mail Is Now Dispatched
Only on These Two Trains
Special guards are now carried on
Nos. 23 and 24, south and northbound
mail trains, and Postmaster (1. A.
( lark luts been instructed to dispatch
registered mail out of the local office
only on those trains. This fact should
be noted by local business men and
any other patron of the local office
who may wish to dispatch such mail.
The special armed guards have been
placed on mail trains by the govern,
nient as a measure of safety, owing to
the numerous mail robberies of recent
mouthy. The guards are recruited
from the C. 8. Marines and are heavi-
ly armed. In event of attempted mail
robbery they are instructed to shoot
to kill.
Sound Banking
Daily the papers of the state carry announcements
tlinl certain state banks have entered the National ]Jank-
ing System. The hanks that make the change are eon-
gratulatng themselves that they are now able to write
tthe word'NATIONAL in their titles—in fact they arc
making gala occasions of the opening date, holding
open house and decorating with flowers, making it an
event in the history of the bank.
I'here is a good reason for these many changes from
the state to the national form of hanks. The present
National Hank Act, supplemented by the Federal lie-
serve Banking Law makes the strongest banking sys-
tem known to the world, in this or any previous his-
tory- The present Federal Reserve Banks of the United
States have a larger bulk of gold in their vaults than
has ever been accumulated by any system of banks or
by any nation, at any time in the known history of the
world, past or present. This system of banks stood the
test of the World War, not only for the United states
but sustaining the credit of the Allied Nations as well-
it has stood the test from the days of the Civil War,
and has proved itself over and over again as the
STRONGEST financial system ever devised and plan-
ned by mail.
The safeguards of the U. S. Government are thrown
around these banks—the rigid examination of expert
accountants, not subject to any political power or party
for their appointment, the fact that no man or corpora
tion can borrow to exceed 10 per cent of capital and
surplus, all make for safety.
We are a member bank of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tem. It is our pride to have the best equipped, modem
bank and banking house in the country and the best in
any small town in the state. .It is our purpose to con-
duct and maintain the safest and best bank and in the
best town of its size in the state- SAFETY is our first
onsideration.

The Great Federal Reserve System which has been
in operation seven years is the financial system of the
National Government. It was the agency through
which the World War was financed and now this great
system in carrying us through the depressing times
with more CASH RESERVE on hand than ever before.

were badly scratched and coasiderably
shaken this morning, when the Stutts

curred while they were going about 30
miles per hour, and the car's top, wind
shield, steering wheel, fenders and
radiator were badly damaged.
The accident resulted just after they
had passed another car, wTlen a wheel
caught in a rut in the road, as he was
trying to regain his side of the high
way to avoid an approaching truck.
The occupants of the car were from
Tonkawa, Okla., and were southbound.
Mrs. Olmstcad was brought to the
Vaughan Hotel and treated by a local
physician. She was unable to move
without great pain an I her in juries
may prove very serious.

HENNESSEY HIGH DEFEATS
GARBEK HIGH 41 TO 19
Hennessey High's football aggroga-
ttion added another scalp to its grow-
ing collection this afternoon by de
feating Garber High on the local grid
iron 11 to 19 in a game that furnished
many extra heart throbs for focal fans
Hennessey started counting early in
the contest, but failed to achieve much
of a lead until later in the game
and there was no time when the visi
tors were not to be reckoned with.
T'lere was some fumbling by both
teams, but the contest was a clean
hibitiou throughout. V/Iill, Jefferies,
C'urrv and ('loud played brilliantly
for Hennessey High, and there were
others whose work was less outstand
ing, but ia its way equally effective.
The local team closes the season with
toldav's contest. A spread will be giv
en this evening at the Cbzydine, at
which time the letters will be «*iven out

Brown, of Enid, were seriously injur
ed last Sunday afternoon about four
miles north of Hennessey, on the Mer-
idian highway, when the Xash car, in
which they were riding, was overturn-
d. Just how the accident occured is
not clear, as the women claim they
were not speeding at the time of the
ident, aithtough others reportt that
the car was traveing at a high rati'
of speed. The car turned completely
over and landed upside down. Both
of the occupants were thrown clear of
the machine. Mrs. Hugh sustained
severe cuts on the right limb, both
above and below the knee and scratch-
es about the body and face. Mrs.
Brown, the other occupant, failed to
recovc r consciousness until near mid
night. The seriousness of her injuries
ould not at first be learned. Her head
was bruised, tongue cut and face
gashed be-neath her right eye. A late
report indicates that she is improving.
Both were picked up immediately af
ter the accident by an autoist and re-
moved to au Knid hospital.
The -top, windshield and steering
wheel of the car were demolished, and
radiator and fenders badly damaged.
The women had left Hennes8ey on

SURPRISING CONDITIONS ARE
REVEALED BY HEALTH TESTS
An examination of the children of
the Fairview public schools by the
county nurse recently revealed rather
startling health conditions among the
scholars. Forty two ]* r cent had bad
toimils, .**.12 were suffering with ad<>
noids, 26.7 per cent with teeth, 6.43
per cent wth their eyes, .0 per cent
hod ear trouble and . 16 per cent had
skin disorders of some nature. A to
tal of 420 children were examined.
The percentage was higher in grades
| than in the junior hiffti, it is stated
BOYS AND GIRLS "A" CLUB
The members of the Lacy A Demon.
I stration Club are deseving of commen-
dation for the splendid progress made
the past year.
The poultry club mcuiberg have to
their credit' after paying for all feed
breeding stock, etc., $7.'i.22, and tin
P'g Club members have $371.M to
their credit after paying for their ori-
ginal gilts, feed, pasture, waste from
the kitchen, milk, etc., and after de
ducting the feed bill for one gilt not
delivering pigs.
One of the leading breeders of hog-
in Kingfisher County has headed his
herd with a male hog purchased from ;
member of the Lacy Pig Club. It is
needless to speak of quality, as this
breeder is a judge of real hogs.
Prof. Hickman carried the dub
work as ordinary class work, and tin
work wasj appreciated by pupils and
the patrons. Prof. Hickman believes
that the1 way to keep the boys and
girls on the farm was to demonstrate
the possibilities of the farm to them,
and to teach the boys and girls the
subject matter with which they come
in daily contact on the farm.
