BILLY SUNDAY
It's a trite saying In every well reg-
ulated newspaper office when "copy"
just won't come out o( Its lair and be
snared 'there's the weather" mean-
ing that there is a topic the reporter
can always approach without fear of
treading on some one's toes. So it is
with tills column when it gets "grog-
gy" and the wheels refuse to turn.
"there's Hill Sunday. And that re-
minds us: The New York World of
January devoted nearly four columns
to Hill's revival in Philadelphia. It
estimated that at one meeting "6811110
were in attendance" and at "the even-
ing meeting the big negro wenches
went forward to the mourners' bench
and a little girl had a lit and one of
the members of Hill's troupe when
this happened shouted "Hill's got 'em."
Continuing the account the World
says: "Over (too were 'converted' if
going forward to shake Hill's hand can
be called converted. It was a species
of hysteria variety of autohypnosis.
The old illiterate negro preachers at
a Georgia camp meeting did the kuiic
thing even better." Then follows a
long account of the meeting. "Then
Hill preached. He said 'I'll give you
hell enough before 1 get through with
you.' Then came the collection. Rode-
heaver (Hill's manager) made the mo-
tion and Hill seconded It. More than
$2(MMl was contributed bringing the
total for the seven days to more than
$16om. Then Hill prayed for every-
body put on his big fur coat got
into his limousine and was driven to
the white marble palace he lias rent-
ed for his stay In Philadelphia." You
bet "Hill's got 'em." Hartlesville Ki.

HIGH PRICES WILL MAKE THE
FARMERS THROUGHOUT THE
NATION PROSPEROUS IN 1915
SAYS RANCHMAN.
"Never in the history of the coun-
try has the farmer had such a har-
vest of high prices to reap as he w ill
have in 19 1. I" said L. W. Parker
who was here yesterday from Hugo-
ton Kan.
Mr. Parker states that men are
now going from farm to farm In
western Kansas and offering to buy
the 1!M.' grain crop delivered at the
elevator for $1.55 a bushel and live
stock buyers are engaging all the
spring calves they can get and of-
fering to pay $:!() apiece for them at
weaning time. That does not mean
that scrub calves are selling for that
amount but cattle which have goofl
breeding are bringing just such
fancy prices.
Mr. Parker says the high price of
wheat will bring corn Hiid kaflir and
other forage crops up to a corres-
ponding high price and every farmer
who has a chance and who spreads
himself this year will make a nice
little piece of money. The farmers
who raises a wheat crop and gets
more (ban J1...D a bushel for it ca 1
pay his farm out of debt and have a
sum left and if he Is already out of
debt he can buy another farm and
do business on a more extensive
scal.
The cattle Industry looks good at
this time. Oklahoma cattle are
healthy and every man who owns a
herd whether large or small has
the assurance of good profits. Con-
ditions are encouraging to th? man
on the farm while the man In town
who must pay the Increased price has
a quaver in his voice while he re-
joices with the stockman anrf with

DESIREEW
LEGISLATION
REDUCTION OF RESERVES IS ONE
OF CHIEF THINGS WANTED
MODI FY REQUIREMENTS AS TO
INCREASING CAPITAL STOCK.
Oklahoma City Feb. ". Reduction
in reserves more severe penalty
against persons assuming to use the
term "bankers" when they are not
really conducting a banking business
a better market for the guaranty fund
warrants and changes in the require-
ments in the increasing of capital
stock of banks are a few of the things
the stale bankers' association will ask
in a bill that is about completed and
ready for presentation to the legisla-
ture. The bill will probably be intro-
duced the first of the coming week.
Unserves under the present law are
required to be 25 per cent in cities
of over 2 5oo population and 20 per
cent where the population is less than
2500. The hankers want this reduced
to 20 and 15 per cent respectively
Thi would prevent the hoarding of too
much money in the opinion of the
hankers. The law for national banks
under similar conditions is 15 and 12'2
per cent. The average rate of re
serve throughout the United States is
Hi per cent in state banks and the
average now in Oklahoma about 22
per cent. The new rate if adopted
would still leave the average In Okla-
homa about 17 per cent larger than in
the United Status.
Stop Pretending Bankers
It is said that persons presume to
do a banking business and advertise
such but in reality have no authority
to do such business. This class the
bankers want to reach with a severe
penalty.
A better market Is desired for the
disposition of guaranty fund warrants
The bankers want to feel that in any
case w here a bank must he taken over
they want to be in a position where
they may have an immediate market
for the warrants which must be Issued
and not be compelled to nurse the
banks along as has been the case In
some instances in the past.
It Is said that 10 per cent of the
bankers have not paid dues that have
been assessed against them for the
last two years. These dues are those
for the upkeep of the organization
paying for the establishment of an
office for the secretary and other ex-
penses. It is the purpose to require
by law that the delinquent ones pay
their dues.
As to Increasing Capital.
Relative to the increasing of the cap-
ital Htock of a state hank under the
present law when the deposits of a
hank amount to ten times the capital
stock then the capital stock must be
increased. In this respect however
the deposits of other hanks are not
included and the hankers now want
all deposits included. This would
make it easier for the banks to In-
crease their capital stock.
The banks want some law whereby
the surety companies will be willing
to write depository bonds. Under the
present law it Is practically impossible
for a state bank to give a bond as
depository for public accounts and
state banks are at a disadvantage in
this respect.

Mr. Parker has a large ranch n
Kansas about three miles from the
line of Heaver county Oklahoma. His
son. C. T. Parker lives in Hutchin-
son Kansas.
The Skin and Not the Blood.
Until recently it has been a gener-
ally accepted theory that eczema was
a disease of the blood. Scientific in-
vestigations have taught us that ec-
zema is positively a skin disease and
curable through the skin alone. Mer-
itol Eczema Remedy Is applied directly
to the diseased skin. Do not delay
