your NEW SUIT and OVERCOAT from our Big Stock. No condition as serious as the present one has ever confronted the consumers of

early in the season in large lots for cash, thus getting the lowest price, saving the discount and getting the pick of the market. Our ready cash and
foresight will save you from $3.00 to $5.00 on your NEW SUI T OR OVERCOAT..

HIS OPPORTUNITY
fifteen days prior was being carried
in the banks. There was also an ac-
cumulation of $253,858.48 in the public
building fund on August 1. This money
might be used to purchase 6 per cent
securities which the loan fund is car-
rying—a 3 per cent increase in in-
crease in interest.
The accumulation of enormous cash
funds for deposit in banks is a dan-
gerous policy in that such deposits are
subject to a vicious political misuse.
In addition any system is unbusiness-
like which will permit large sums to
accumuate in the treasury, where they
draw but three per cent interest, when
they should be in use and bringing
far greater returns.
Stwte'N Cash Might Become Political
Menace.
The state's enormous cash deposits
at this time is startling. On tile first
da of August the total cash in the
treasury and depository was $5,550,-
075.91. In addition the state school land
ommission had private accounts total-
ing $59,031.48 and several state in-
stitutions had money on deposit in
local banks. In the treasury proper
there was $2,447,660.90 and $3,102.415.01
was in the depository.
This money belonged to the follow-
ing funds:
General revenue fund.. $1,400,195.27
Common school fund (in-
terest, rentals, advalorem

Total increase in farm
loans for seven months $368,812.77
This shows an average increase in
farm loans of $52,687.54 per month.
During this seven months period there
was available money and pending ap-
plications on file at all times. At this
money derived from sale
to $! 31,927.08.
This increase over ordinary receipts
was anticipated, even though not pro-
vided for, and the department should
have been prepared to loan this money.
Of the $1,830,603.08 on hand, not in
eluding fee accounts deposited in Ok
lahoma City banks to the credit of the
commission amounting on June 30,
1916, to $59,031.48, all accumulations
subject to apportionment to common
schools should have been paid out ac-
cording to statute, on July lf>. The re-

Increase the cash in this fund nearly
one-half million dollars, against which
was outstanding on the date of this
report $293,000, including interest ac-
crued. Total appropriations of $1.-
692.23 were made by the regular and
special sessions for public buildings
and improvements. These appropria-
tions are alive thirty months from the
date of approval. The amount unex-
pended of these appropriations is more
than covered by funds now in the
treasury or in the depository which
will go into the treasury to the credit
of general revenues. The total of ap-
propriations for the general expenses
of state government for the year end-
ing June 30, 1917, is $3,556,248.84. The
levy for 1917 will return, deducting
the legal twenty per cent for delin-
quencies. $1,494,026.40, which, will
leave $2,062,222.44 yet to be raised
from indirect revenues, less whatever
may be added from surplus collections
from previous eyars. The estimate of
indirect revenues for the year is $2-
110,259.54.
The finances of the state are con-
sequently from present indications in
excellent condition.
The enormous fund in the state
treasury is another matter. That there
can ibe at any time a fund in cash in
excess of five million dollars without
even a hypothetical surplus Is evi-
dence that the revenue laws are not
sufficiently tight.

ticipated in by O. S. Ttoo, editor;

ver oil Boggs. Boggs had gone to the

the Herald. Todd refused and the two
fought. Fay arrived and while at-

FOOT PADS HOB FARMERS \ND
LAND IN JAIL.
Friday afternoon, Sheriff Sherwood
of Guthrie was notified bv phone that
the farm residence of Charley Has-
lett, near I kingston, had been robbed
by two interlopers. The sheriff and
his ever-vigilant deputy. Ed Robert-
son, immediately struck the trail,
overhauling the gentry near Riverside
school house and within a few hours
had Earnest and Oscar Oilstrop in
Jail at Guthrie, committed on the
charges of robbery and house-break-
ing.
It was later learned that Luther
Corne's house near Seward, had been
robbed by these two men the night
before.
The action of Mr. Haslett's in
promptly notifying the sheriff of this
robbery is a good example to Antis,
it being one of the principal duties
sheriffs to catch thieves, they
should in all instances communicate
the information of wrongdoing and
thievery at once to the sheriff of
their county.
