Let Us Figure With You
Thuecday of last week a party
of railroad promoters visited Buf-
falo to submit to our people a
proposition for the building of a
railroad from Greensburg, Kans.
to Buffalo via Coldwater, Kans.
‘'The party was made up of the
following named gentlemen: S.
B. Wardall, engineer, Hutchin-
son; A. S. Sooter, director, and
W, R. Cobb, director, Greens-
burg, C. W. Phillips, Greens-
needs it badly but no worse than
the territory tributary. Our peo-
ple hesitate to spend their time
and money in an effoat to raise a
bonus they do not think possitle.
Buffalo can be depended upon to
do her part but what the farmers
along the proposed line will do is
not known. If the farmers of the
territory to be traversed are in-
terested it is time for them to
wake up. Buffalo cannot secure
this railroad or any other with-; eu IO
out help. To scure it there must! f0n0WS- -
be a hearty cooperation and a
solid support from the farmers.
Buffalo will go the limit to help
you but Buffalo is not going out
to canvess this county again un-
less there is some assurance of
success.
A railroad running across
this county from northeast to
southwest would be a wonderful

A most enthusiastic meeting
was held at the court room in
Buffalo at which time the pro-

Oklahoma City, Okla.
June 1, 1915.
To Officers and Directors
Of all State Banks.
Gentlemen: For the reason that
the practice 0 f paying checks
with overdrawn accounts is both
illegal and out of harmony with
sound business principles, you
are hereby advised that in the
future this practice must be dis-
continued and you will so inform
your customers,
The Comptroller of the Cur-
rency is co-operating with this
Department in this movement
and for your information I beg
to state that the National Banks
of Oklahoma have received sim-
ilar instructions from the De-
partment at Washington.
You are instructed to have this
letter read at the semi-annual
meeting of your Board of Direct-
era and your board must pass a
suitable resolution in conformity
with this ruling, and such reso-
lution be spread upon vour min-
utes as a permanent record.
Respectfully,
J. D. LANKFORD,
Bank Commissioner.
To Our Patrons: In the past
we have made an effiort to care
for your checks, when we were
in a position to do so. We trust
that in the future you will keep
your check stubs so that you will
know the exact amount of your
balance as we now have a post-
ing system, whereby you can
procure your cancelled vouchers
and ascertain the amount of
your balance in a minute’s notice.
The above instructions make
it plain that we cannot pay
checks without the funds. We
will have no “overdrafts” from
this date foreward.
