OUR PLATFORM
SAFETY FIRST
Liberality Next
Both are essential to successful
banking. We tried to give our
customers the benefit of the Depos-
itors Guaranty Fund of State of
Oklahoma, but under the Attorney
General's ruling we were compelled
to withdraw from our agreement
with the State Board. The fact
that we were under the Guaranty
Law should be sufficient proof to
you that we are absolutely safe or
we could not have undergone the
rigid examination that it required
to come under that law.
We always try to be liberal to
ou customers and will always ex-
tei,d to them any accommodation
that is within our power upon the
most liberal terms to be had.
If You Are Satisfied With Our
Platform Come and See Us.

WHERE HE HAS BEEN
WHAT HE HAS SEEN.
W. S. Cross. President of
First National Bank,
Visits Altus, Okla
Last Monday Mr. Cross went
to Eldorado to meet Mrs. Cross
who had been , to the Eastern
markets, but when he arrived at
Eldorado he learned that she
was delayed a day. Decided to
go to Altus and look around and
see what was doing in the way
of railroad construction.
He says that they have two
pile-drivers, steam and horse
powter, live or six hundred cross-
ties, and all the necessary ma-
chinery to construct a railroad
most any distance.
The McCully Construction;
Company of St. Louis has th
contract for laying the ties and
steel, building the bridges, de-
pots, section houses, and placing
the rolling stock on the road.
The Vice-president of the com-
pany told Mr. Cross that they
had the contract to build the
road, and that the Union Trust
company of St. Louis was back
of them. Mr. Cross' opinion is
that the road will be built to this
place by the first of July.
Mr. Kennedy is expected here
today to collect his bonus which
has been waiting for him.
Neat Feet.
Women who dress
nicely and according to
the way fashion dic-
tates, desires to have
every part of their
attire lookbe coming, tit
welt and keep its new
natty appearance.
Nowadays a stylish, well dressed woman has to
have many attractive dresses and shoes to wear
on various occasion—The "Society" shoe is just
such a shoe, and at $3 50 the pair, a woman can
afford to have shoes in the ever popular Vici or
the more flashy Patent Leather for dress wear
Get a pair and you, too, will say
'•Star Brand Shoes Are Better."

Speight of Eldorado, opened the
camp for work.
There being fifty applicants
waiting to learn the great lessons
of the K. of P., the lodge ad journ-
ed at 0 p. m., for supper. As
soon as supper was over, they
returned to the lodge room and
too* up the work, and worked
till midnight, then refreshments
were served to their guests in as
hospitable manner as the presi
dent may wish. There were six-
teen old K. of P.'s, that came in,
making the lodge sixty five
strong at the organization.
They worked faithfully till six
a. m. Friday morning, then the
installation of officers, which were
as follows: W. W. Cross, Chan-
cellor commander; Joe Wilson,
Vice chancellor commander; H.
N. Spo'oner, Prelate; Ward

W. S. Cross, and the new born
lodge of the K. of P., Hollis
Camp No. 210, begins its first
work. This being the birthday,
February 19, of the order, all
felt proud of its existence.
Lodge closed at 7 a. m. All went
away feeling proud of their
presence there, and the good
work we learned to do. The vis-
iting pfnests knew this work and
performed all in a pleasing man-
ner. Many addresses were giy-
eri, but one that will never be
forgotten, was from B. A. Finly,
:Who has been a member for al-
>st twenty-one years. He gave
lyfcistory of • tlie order, and
gave to us many good lessons as
to how to prove friendship. The
lecture was grand, and words
are inadequate to express our
appreciation. Many old mem-
bers expressed their assurance
that this was the largest number
of applicants at any one time in
the history of Oklahoma to be in-
itiated. The lodge is composed
of the best men we have in tbe
town. There is about sixteen
more to be initiated at next
meeting that couldn't be present.
All of the applicants and old
members had their places of
business decorated with the
lodge colors, which were red,
blue and yellow.

Letter from Count}
Superintendent Sims.
I am very anxious to call the
attention of all people interested
in our schools, and especially the
directors of our schools, that
the compulsory school law makes
it a penalty for the directors to
fail to notify parents to send
their children to school and it is
also a penalty for them to fail to
report to some court of jurisdic-
tion if the parent or guardian
fail to send them within five days
after they are notified. This law
does not take distance into con-
sideration and will work a hard-
ship on some, but let us as law
abiding citizens do our duty and
educate all our children. Letno
man shrink from what is his
duty, although it may seem hard.
In case of absolute necessity I
will furnish books upon receipt
of a request signed by the di-
rectors, Widow ladies who can-
not support themselves without
the help of her children can get
help through the county com-
missioners. All children after
they pass their 6th birthday and
until they reach their 16th birth-
day are subject to this law.
