BANK IS NOT PRIVATE.
In Oklahoma Deposits Must Be Ac-
cepted From Anyone.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 17-
Thcre is no law to compel the pro-
prietor of a store to sell anyone
goods who comes in and tenders him
money for it, hut on the other hand
a hanker is bound to accept deposits
I'lom anyone, though he personully
may not like the person and wants to
refuse such deposit. This is the
opinion of thrf.uttorney general to L
R. Cole, president of the Farmers'
State Hank at Carnegie.
The difference is the store is a
wholly private institution, while the
attorney general says a bank is a
semi-public institution, because it is
operated under the laws of the state
and under the supervision of the
state banking departmene, which is
a part of the state government. This
makes such hank a semi-public bus-
iness. It is expressed by the attorney
general, however, that a deposit of-
fered under such circumstances may
be of such trivial nature, or other
circumstances might be such that the
banker would be sustained in any
positon he might take.

RAILROADS SPEEDING UP
TO HELP WIN THE WAR
ST. I,(Il ls, Mo, Sept. II The
magnitude of the increase which have
inken place in the frieght traffic of
the railroads of the United Stales
within the lust two years, and of the
advances in efficiency which have
had to be achieved to handle it, were
shown in a striking manner by R. 11.
Aishton, president of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway, in address he-
fore the St. Louis Railway Club here
tonight.
"At the present rate of movement,
said Mr. Aishton, "the railways will
in the year 11117 handle 510,000.000
it 52 per cent, more tons of freight
than they did in the fiscal year ended
on June :i(l, 1915. On the basis of
the present number of tons handled
per train, it would take 720,000
freight trains, containing IS,(Hill,000
freight cars, merely to handle this in-
crease in tonnage over 1915.
"If all the cars required to handle
this increase in tonnage were made
up in a single train that train would
be 136,363 miles long.
"Is it any wonder, in view of such
fuels, that there have been, probably
Will continue to lie congestions of and
delays to traffic'.'
Mr. Aishton gave another striking
illustration to drive home the same
point:
"The increase in the frieght traf-
fic of our railways in 1917 over the
year ended on June ,30, 1915" said
lie, "will amount, at the present rate,
to as much as the total traffic han-
dled before the war by all the rail-
ways of Germany, France, Russia,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Rouma-
nia, Holland, Canada, South Africa,
Mexico, Japan, Brazil and South
Wales.
"In other words, the total ton-
miles of traffic handled unnually in
those fourteen countries before the
war was 141 billion ton-miles, and at
the present rate the increase in this
year over the fiscal year 1915, in the
ton-miles handled by our railways,
will be just about 141 billion ton-
miles.
Thi\ railways have been obliged,
owing to conditions beyond their
control, to handle this enormously in-
creased traffic with almost no in-
ciease in facilities. In order to do
this it has been necessary to accom-
plish some remarkable increase in
the efficiency of operation."
GRAND LEADER FALL OPENING.
The Grand Leader held its annual
fall opening Friday night, September
14, with an unusual display of the
season's most wanted ready to wear.
This annual event draws a large
number of out of town visitors as well
us from Hartshorne. The store was
in dress parade for the occasion.
The array of handsome toggery
was displayed by live models imper-
sonated by Misses Hartlett and
Woods of Haileyville, Miss F'oritella
Thompson of Hartshorne and Miss
Ola Lewis of Gowen.
Music on the piano and violin was
furnished by Miss Homier and Tom
Stallings, and on the guitar by Ukir-
rett, the Mexican.
PLOT LEAKED OUT
GERMANY MAKES APOLOGY TO
SWEDEN, BUT OFFERS NO
EXPLANATION.
LONDON, Sept. 17.—Germany
has sent a note to Sweden, according
to the correspondent at Stockholm
of the Central News agency, highly
regretting the disagreeable issues
raised on account of Sweden's trans-
mitting of telegrams to Germany.
Germany says she is obliged to the
Swedish government for transmitting
the messages but regrets that her
representatives in Argentina should
have sent the telegrams in the
phraseology they did.
The Nya Daglig Allenhandra of
Stockholm, which printed the an-
nouncement that Germany had sent
the note to Sweden, says the German
government has instructed all its rep-
resentatives in foreign countries to
refuse to accede to any attempt
which may be made to force them to
reveal to the Swedish government
contents of code messages.
