Correct Attest:
seal J. G. IJrtkos. President.
We call the attention of our custom-
ers and others to the above sworn
statement of our condition at the close
of business December 10 1007. Our
reserve is quite an nmount above that
required by law. We have no loans or
overdrafts with any officer or stock-
holder in this bank. The Assistant
Bank Examiner L. II. Put ton made
his annual examination of our bank on
the evening of December 0 1007 an
I after checking us up assured us that
wo were in excellent condition.
The recent suspension of tho Nation-
al Bank of Commerce in Kansas City
Mo. has not affected us materially.
We are not now nor have we been at
any time in any way associated with or
connected with tho National Bank of
Commeice Kansas City Mo. only
that we have kept a very small balance
with them subject to draft.
All outstanding drafts drawn by this
bank on the National Bank of Com-
merce Kansas City will be taken up
by the New England National Bank
Kansas City. or can be returned to us
and wo will issue new ones on another
bank in their place. At the time of
the suspension of the National Bank of
Commerce our balance with them was
so small that we anticipate no loss
whatever through their closing.
Yours Respectfully.

National Bank of
Commerce Closes.
Kansa City IVc. 5 -The National
Bniik of C0.1 iinree- f Kansas City
Mo. failed to open it doors this mori.-
ii g and is in the hands of the natioi al
bank examiner. The bank is onu of
tho oldest hero and is the largest
financial institution in the city.
Thtv following notice was posted on
the door of the bank at 8:30 this morn-
ing :'
"fhis bank has been closed by order
of i.io l ardoT direolois. It is in the
hrttids of James T. Bradley national
bank examiner by order of the omi -trotler
of currency "
The bunk had been in a weakened
coudrtfou since its last statement
which was issued August 22 last At
that time it was stated the bank owed
the clearing house close to a million
dollars. When thu financial disturb-
ance an 1 thu clearing house decided to
issue clearing house certificates rum-
ors regarding the Commerce's condi-
tion increased until within the past
few days numerous conferences of
other national b inking olllsi.ils hure
were held and means of keeping the
bank open were discussed. Yesterday
much surprise was expressed when the
request of the comptroller for a state-
ment of condition of banks was not re-
sponded to by . the National Bank of
Commerce. Other local banks pub-
lisheiLtheir statements showing a
healthy condition but the officers of
the Commerce announced that its
statement I'ould not bo forthcoming
until this morning. This created
further dNtrust m tho bank's condition
and after conferences lasting into the
early hours this morning the clearing
house officers decided they c.nild not
aid the railing bank.
When the statement of tho National
Bank of Commerce appeared in the
iinirning papers it showed since the
statement of August 22 last the dc.
posits had been reduced from close tc
thirty-fivu millions of dollars to $10-
042004. Thu statement showed also
that the item of loans and discounts
had been ihit down four millions of
dollars.
The National Bank of Commerce
held the deposits of numerous sjnnll
banks 111 this part of tho southwest.
What effect the failure will have upon
theln is'probluuiatical. On August 22
last the Commerce owed other nation-
al banks $13200450 and statu banks
and bankers $!)S10105. There had
been no run by ocal depositors but
many of the outside banks caused the
trouble by withdrawing their funds on
deposit with tho 0011111100.
The comptroller of tho currency to
day issued the following statement re
garding thu failure of the National
Bank of Commerce of Kansas City :
"Tho comptroller's ollico has been
ad vhed that the officers and directprs
of the National Bank of Commerce ol
Kansas City Mo. d?cided nov M open
its doors to-day. and requested the Na
tional bank examiner to tako charge
until tiieir assets could bo realized on
when there is strong hopes that the
bank may be able to resume.
'This bank is one of tho largest in
the west and in September last had
about thirty-four millions on deposit.
Something like twenty-two millions ol
this was due to other banks. The
failure is doubtless duo to calls which
have been made on the National Bank
of Commerce for theso banking bal-
ances and their inability to realize on
their assets quickly enough to meet
them.
"It is too early for the comptroller's
office to give nny details of tho failire
but it is hoped that the bank will be
found solvent so the depositors can be
paid in full if the bank is not able to
resume."
DO NOT KNOW WHAT
CAUSES SICKNESS
Modern PeopJe Have Many Names for Same
Diseases According to New Belief
Docs human health depend on ono
organ nlono? This question Is becom-
ing widely discussed slnco L. T.
Coopor first advanced his theory that
tho Btomach Is the true scat of llfo
and all health dependent upon It.
Mr. Cooper who has met with ro-
markablo success In tho salo of his
now medicine believes that tho stom-
ach Is responsible for most Blckncss
nnd that this organ Is weak In tho
present generation. Whllo discussing
this theory recently ho said: "I nm
nsKcd tluio and again to tell why my
mcdlclno has mado such a record
wherever I have Introduced It. My
answer always Is 'booauso It restores
tho stomach to a normal condition.'
No 0110 will deny that today there are
moro half-sick inch and women than
over bofore. Nothing critical seems to
bo tho mattor with them. They aro
just half-sick most of tho timo. They
don't know really what is tho mattor
with them. I havo talked with thou-
sands during tho past two years and
fow know Indeed what tholr trouhlo
was. Ono said norvousness nnothor
said kldnoy trouble nnothor liver com
plaint soma constipation or heart
trouble or lung trouhlo. Many had
treated ns they called it for most of
theso diseases nt different times. A
very common complaint Is 'all run
down or 'tired all tho Urno' or 'no
appetite "
"I know positively that ovcry bit of
una enronic 111 Health Is caused by
Btomacn trouhlo and nothing else. My
Now Discovery puts the stomach In
Eounu condition in about rIx xvonltn
Mighty few eoplo can bo sick with a
cound digestion. That Is why my med-
lclno in selling nt such a tremendous
rate. I havo convinced many thou-
sands of peoplo that these things are
bo and tho number Is growing by;
leaps and bounds."
Among moro recent converts to Mr.
Cooper's beliefs Is Mr. Edgar L. Hinds
living ot C Tappan Street Everett
Mass. Mr. Hinds has this to say on
tho subject:
"I havo Buffered with Btomach
trouhlo for olght years. I wob not flick
enough to bo In bed but Just felt bad
all tho time. My greatest trouble was
that I always felt tired would get up
in tho morning feeling as tired as
when I went to bed.
"1 had a very Irregular appotito and
was troubled with dizzy spoils. If I
stood for any longth ot tlmo I would
havo a dull pain In tho lower part ot
my back. I was nervous nnd felt all
tho tlmo ns though something terrible)
was going to hnppon. I tried many
kinds ot mcdlclno but nothing over
helped mo.
"I had about given up all hope of
ovor bolng in good health again when
I heard so much of Cooper and do
elded to try his medicine. I took ons
bottlo of his New Discovery and was
gfcatly surprised at the result I
gnlned 12 pounds In a few wooku. I
can now oat anything I wish and fee!
llko ft now man. 1 cheerfully rocom-
r'oiid thts mcdlclno to all sufferers
from stomach trouhlo."
It Is worth anyono's tlmo who Is not
onjoying good health to learn of Mr.
Coopor's wonderful preparations. Ws

Beaver Banks Not Involved.
The failure of the bank of Commerce
has had no depressing ellct on the
banks of Beaver.
The bank of Beaver City has never
had any deposits with tho closed bank
nor been connected with it in any way.
The State Bank has used that bank for
a conespondent but at the time of its
failure had only a small deposit and
hence will not lose a cent.
We are indeed gratilled to know that
o"r banks were clear of this failed in-
stitution ntrl it shows good business
judgment on their part that they were
not tied up with it as most banks In
this section deal with tho Commerce.

Erma Crabtree and Chris Charbonenu

being Miss Vivian's sixteenth birthday
anniversary.
If all of that young lady's birthdays
aro to bo as enjjyably spent as this
ono wo wouldn't mind if birthdays
camo even oftener. Anyone who b
acquainted with .Mrs. Wellborn know-
that when she presides in thu culinary
department no rarer delicacies are
ever prepared than she is able to pro-
duce. She certainly knows how it is
done and when one is a guest at her
table thi'V always havo that satisfied
feeling and arc ablo to forget that life
is not all a golden dream. This good
lady has not neglected to train up her
daughters to follow in their mother's

Vivian is jointly responsible with her

We hope that tho year just passed
