COLORED SCHOOLS
BEGAN MONDAY
Mrs. Anna Burks Love, oounty
superintendent of instruction,
Monday mailed notioes to all the
colored schools in the county to
the effect that compulsory sum-
mer term of two months, begin-
ning July 19, would be inaugur-
ated.
This policy, according to Mrs.
Love, is necessary on account of
the fact September and Ootober
are the cotton picking months,
at which time it is impossible to
force the colored children to at-
tend the district schools. The
summer term will therefore take
the place of that portion of the
fall term.
A. C. Flor, Katy agent, and
wife, who is chief telephone oper-

points, for a weeks vacation trip.

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
IV.—F. A. Vanderlip
On The Business of Banking
.*5 The farmers of this nation to come into their own
must study business. We must, as a class, understand
the fundamental principl.es that underlie every industry,
iUs functions to society and its relation to agriculture, for
there can be no intelligent co-operation without under-
standing. Mr. P/ A Vanderlip. president of the National
City Bank of New York, when asked, “What is a bank?”
; j said in part:
“The first and most familiar function of a bank is
“I that of gathering up the idle money of a community,
\ small sums and large, and thus forming a pool or reser-
voir upon which responsible persons may draw as they
have temporary use for money. It is evident that this makes large sums in the
aggregate available for the employment of labor and the development of the
community. But much more is accomplished than the use of the money
actually deposited in the banks, for by the use of drafts, checks and bank
notes the efficiency of money is multiplied several times over A very large
business, for example one of the great beef packers, may use very little
actual money; on one side of its bank account will be entered the checks
and drafts it is daily receiving from everywhere in payment for meats,
while on the other side will be entered the checks it draws in payment for
cattle, etc., its only use of money being for small payments, to labor and
otherwise.
If there were but one bank in a community and everybody paid all
bills by drawing cheeks on that bhnk. and everyone receiving a check imme-
diately deposited it in the bank, the amount of money in the bank evidently
would not change at all and the entire business of the eommunity would be
settled on the books of the bank. And the situation is but slightly changed
when there are several banks, for they daily exchange among themselves all
the checks they receive on each other, which practically offset themselves,
although the small balances are paid in cash. This is called ‘clearing’ and
in every large city there is a ’Clearing House’ where representatives of the
banks meet daily to settle their accounts with each other
A bank is constantly receiving frovi its customers, particularly those that
are shipping products to other localities, drafts and checks drawn on banks
in other cities, which it usually sends for deposit to a few correspondent
banks in the central cities with which it maintains permanent accounts. In
this way these scattered credits are consolidated and the bank draws upon
these accounts in supplying customers with the means of making payments
away from home. As each local community sells and buys about the same
amount abroad in the course of a year these payments largely offset each
other. It is evident that the banks are very intimately related to the trade
and industry of a country. The banker is a dealer in credit much more than
a dealer in money, and of course his own credit must be above question. He
exchanges his credit for the credits acquired by the customers, and lends
credit for their accommodation, but he must conduct the business with such
judgment that he can always meet ills own obligations with cash on demand
Tills is the essential things about bank credit, that it shall always be the
same as cash."
FLOYD B00HER WEDS
MANGUM GIRL
Mr. Floyd Booher, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Booher, south-
east of Luther, was united in
marriage Wednesday of lust
week to Miss Florence Burden of
Mangutn, Okla., where he has
been for the past three years.
Floyd has many friends here
with whom we join in extending
congratulations and best wishes.
The Mungum Democrat gave
the wedding as follows:
“A wedding of interest took
place in Mangum Wednesday
evening at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. R. L. Burden, at which time
Miss Florence Burden and Mr.
Floyd Booher wore united in
marriage. Miss Burden is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Burden, being practically reared
and educated here, and is ac-
complished in musio and expres-
sion. She is loved and admired
by a large host of friends. Mr.
Booher is the obliging oashier at
the Rook Island depot, he has
not made Mangum his home only
about three years, but during
that time he has made many
friends on acoount of his many
nobis traits. The young people
will leave the first of August and
will spend a month visiting in
the eastern states. The oermony
was performed by the bride’s
grandfather, Rev. E. A. Vincent,
of Alex, Oklahoma. We wish to
join their many friends in wish-
ing them a happy and prosper
ous wedded life.”
OIL FIELD OPENED
UP NEAR PADEN
What will probably be the be
gining of a seoond Cushing field
and certainly an important stroke
in the futher developement of
the Oklahoma oil industry, will
be the drilling in of the Paden
oil well today or tomorrow.
That the big producer will be
uncapped and its hidden treasure
put on the market has been as
sured C. H. Cameron, president
of the Paden Oil company by the
officials of the Praire Oil & Gas
company. The well will Jbe op
erated by the Prairie. Mr. Cam
eron says the Prairie owns one-
half of the undivided interest in
the well and his company the
other onehalf. It is believed the
well is capable of not less than
4,000 barrels a day. The Paden
well is about thirty miles east of
Luther, which is bringing oil
development near than ever be-
fore.

COUNTY ESTIMATES
ARE PUT HIGHER
Expenses for running the co-
unty Government during the fis-
cal year of 1915-10 will bo higher
all along the line than during the
previous year, aocording to the
county budget estimate as com-
pleted and announced Saturday
by the county commissioners,
who were in session at the court-
house. Most of the separate bu-
dget items were increased be-
cause it developed last year that
the estimates submitted were too
low, or les3 than the funds avail-
able to meet the exp enses invol-
ved, thereby creating ^deficits in
a number of accounts.
Ernest Beokerdite of Jones
traded his big Auburn car for
eighty acres of land in Logan oo.
William McMullen of Jones
City is spending several weeks
in the mountains of Colorado.
