"A State Bank

%
You know, Jack, 1 used to be prejudiced against
state banks. I suppose it was because where I came from
the state banks didn't rank so high.
"But man it's different in Oklahoma. Why do you
know that a state bank in Oklahoma is as safe as any in
the world? It's a fact. Oklahoma showed the world a
new wrinkle when she passed the Depositors' Guaranty
Law.
"Do you know if my bank failed tomorrow and was
without a'single asset, I'd get all my money just as soon
as the books were checked? The Depositors' Guaranty
Law would see to that. But of course the bank is sound.
State banks rank high in capital, surplus and deposits.

BUILDING A COUNTY.
(By Phebe K. Warner in Fort Worth
Star Telegram.)
The Hall County Peace League is
one of the great factors in the con-
struction of this wonderful county.
It reads:
"WE BELIEVE in our county, its
people and its possibilities.
"WE SOLEMNLY ENGAGE to
dtdicate ourselves, our families and
our resources to make our county the
best home place, to give our children
the best school advantages, to assist
our people in owning their homes,
and talk tomorrow. The only BIG
debt ycu owe is to help the other fel
low."
