Oklahoma Succeed In Proving Her

The lsW guaranteeing State
Bank deposits in Oklahoma has
passed through the flerCy furnace
for two years, notwithstanding
the onslaughter of every possible
form of criticism, but emerging
sound in every respect with a
greater degree of confidence on
the part of the people than we
ever expected in so a shoat a
time, A few failures have
occUred, and at each one of the
old enemies of the law rise up
from their dormant state and say.
"I told you so." But when the
proceeds appeal^ ind every de-
positor walks up and receives his
own, they hide awaSrfn beWalder-
,ment awating an opportune time
to agaiu break forth in doleful
lamentations.
To show h6w the wind is blow-
ing, onNovember 27, 1908, the
State banks of Oklahoma con-^
tained $29,448,973 96 of indvid-
ual deposits, while in November
16, 1909, they contained $49,775,-
433.41 of individual deposits.
;It would be well to state right
here that practically all of this
enormus increase was due to in-
creased wealth or foreign money
brought into the State, as the
National banks also showed an
incaease during the same time.
If the law is not sound it does

His subject was the Commer-
cial Club and its work, and be-
fore he had finished, all were con-
vinced thae he very thoroughly
understood every phase of his
subject. He placed the Com-
mercial Club in three classes-
Clubs that hKxea name without
any real existence, perennial or
wet weather clubs and the real
live organization that has a place
to meet, money to do with and
men to give their time and
thought to its work. He said it
was just as foolish to attempt to
run a bank without money as to
run a commercial club without
money.
He argued that every citizen ot
a town should belong to the com-
mercial club and should bear his
part Of the expense. That any
man who lived in a town and re-
fuses to help should be compelled
,tp wear the badge of disloylty.
He asserted that he did not preach
boy-cotting, but he was a believer
in reciprocity and the man who
was not enterprising did not get
any of his business. He em-
phasized the great importance of
co-operation all along the line
What Is An Editor
<§>
look like two years
sufficient time in which to under-
mine it; Texas has passed a law
similar in most respects, except
that it also permits State - banks
to insure their depositors iri
bonding companies; but from the
present outlook there is but little
likelihood of the bonding com-
panies getting any great amount
of business from this source. The
Texas State banks have enjoyed
wonderful growth ever since the
law had passed permitting their
existance a few years ago, and
today the outlook for these banks
are brighter than ever before.
It is a system far reaching in ex-
tent, powerful,* and possessing
the elements of blessing for the
people in every nook and corner
of the State in which it is in vogue.

performed by-Rev. Frank Lons-
dale, pastor of the First Presby-
terian church, and, was witness-
ed only by relatives and a few in'
timate friends of the family, and
the bride's Sunday-school class.
Miss Erickson has been a very
popular primary teacher in the
McKinlev school of this city for
several years past and she has
many devoted friends among the
little folks as well as those of the
soc;al set.

The above question has come
ringing down the colonades of
time for centuries. It has puzzl-
list their help in city building.
The speaker declared that the
local press was the greatest
agency in the building up of any
town and it should receive the
most loyal support of the people.
The local newspaper is the bar-
ometer that indicates the prog-
ress of the town. He said, a
town should have an active cor-
respondent to the great state pa-

Secretary Homer D. Wade, of
Stamford, was in Sweetwater
the first of last week, and ad-
dressed the, Commercial Club of

speech : ..' "T. * '. ?
From The Reporter: *,
Mr. Wade began his address by
frankly stating that from a sel-
fish standpoint he did not care
much whether Sweetwater grew
fast or not, in fact, he confessed
was growing most too
fast to sqit him. He continued Texas.

Cherbonnier-Erickson
About two weeks ago we made
the announcement that our fel-
lowtownsman Mr. C. C. Cher-
bonnier had left for St. Louis
where he would be married.
We will say that on the 23rd,
Mr. Cherbonnier was married to
Miss Linnea Erickson, of St.
Louis. Miss Erickson has been
reared in St. Louis and was one
of that, city's most popular and'
accomplished daughters. Mr.
Cherbonnier was also a native of
that citv and belongs to one of
ihe best families in the city.
Mr. and Mrs. Cherbonnier ar-
rived in Crosbyton Monday and
are at home. We are glad to bid
them Gods speed, and hope for
them all the pleasures and pros-
perity that is possible.

A 'very pretty home wedding
was soieimnized Wednesday even-
ing at the home of the bride's
mother, Mrs: Clara Erickson,

Twelve Million Telelephones
It it reported that there are
now in this coutry 12,000,000
telephones, or one for every two
houses in the country. This does
not mean that one-half of the
residences in the country contain
an instrument, since many busi-
ness houses have a large number
but the figures are instructive
and illuminating, Practically
everybody who is anvbody in tftS
cities or towns and villages has
a telephone, while those in the
country districts are legion. The
astonishing fact is that each of
these is used on an average of six
times a day. The total number
of calls in a year runs up into the
billions and is not appreciable by
the human mind.
By some people the editor is
considered a real human being,
who has feelings, juht like other
people. By a few others he is
supposed to be the missing link,
whose feelings, if he has any,
must be for the other fellow.
Many are of the opinion that
if he had any sense he would not
be in the newspaper business.
Others thinks that he knows
everything and should be a mind
reader and publish things people
are thinking about for miles
around. If they happen to see
the editor and want a little free
advertising they believe all that
is necessary is to say: "You
know what I want; fix it up to
suit yourself." Then if. when
the paper comes out, it is discov-
ered that the mind was not read
right, who is to pay?
Some take the editor to be a
public pack-horse for everybody
in the diggin's—think that he
should alkali times be glad to
carry their loads; that he should' not a tax stiati be levied upon the prop-

Notice Of Election i
The State of Texas. {
County of Crosby.,) N
On this the 21st day- of Fet
A. D. 1910, this court being in,
session, came on to be considers# the
petition of J. 0. Okerbloom {and!
two other pexidnft, pray lhg that
be issued by said Road District { No. 2
of Crosby County, Texas, in the sum of
six thousand ($6,000) dollars, bearing
5 1-2 percent rate of interest, maturing
twenty years from' the date thereof,
for the purpose of constructing, main
taining and operating macadamized,
graveled or paved roads and turnpikes,
or in aid thereof; j v -
And it appearing to the court that;
said petition is signed by more than
fifty of the resident propertytax pay-
ing voters of said Road District No. 2
of Crosby County, Texas, and that the
amount of bonds to be issued will not
exceed one-fourth of the assessed ^val-
uation of the real property of such
Road District No. 2 of Crosby County,
Texas.,
It is therefore considered and ordered
by the court that an election be held in
said Road District No. 2 of Crosby
County, Texas, on the 26th day of
March A. D. 1910, which Hr not less
than thirty days from the date of this

bonds of Baid Road District No. 2 of
Crosby County, Texas, shall be issued
in the amount of Six Thousand ($6,000)
Dollars, bearing 5 1-2 percent, rate of
interest and maturing twenty years
from the date thereof; and whether oi

vidual enterprises free charge

that he should never hesitate to
bring others to the front and
take a back seat himself.
One class thinks he should
grind out roasts, ruin his busi-
ness and get filled so fuli of am-
munition that it would take sixiposted notices of such election at thre

Party from Lubbock in the
City -
^t is a pleasure to mention the
coming of the following business
people from Lubbock who are in
the city this evening on business.
H. H. Thames, Manager for the
J. P. Lewis and Company of
Lubbock. Mr. and Mrs. S. 0.
O'Neal of the same city and
Mr. Rice Glenn. These people
are out on an advertising trip
and are distributing some very
fine advertising matter in the
town as well as using our,mail-
ing list to reach the people who
get mail at the Crosbyton post-
office.
These people know the worth
of advertising and they are out
after the business of the Crosby
county people as much as they
feel that they are entitled to,
We" are glad to have such people
with us and hope to See
more often. •
The entire party speaks iri the
highest terms of our town and
say it is the best town on the
Plains off the railroad. This
coming from ajl those who visit
oar town makes u^ feel good.

A.few believes that he should
do everybody's kicking. If he
does he is called an ass. If he
fails, he is a dubbed, a cowardly
cur.
A number take him to be an
information bureau and think he
ought to know how to pronounce
the titles of all the Russian gen-
erals, give the dates of their
birth, histories of their lives and
name the day on which they
were killed or captured by the
Japanese. They think he should
be able to give an idea to the
date of the Second Coming, and
know exactly what time of day
it is in China. I have been told
that one editor was called up at
4 o'clock in the morning to know
whether it was proper to plant
potatoes in the dark of the moon
or in the ground. His reply
was: "Ask your corn.—It has
ears, or let your potatoes see
about it. They have eyes."
Quite a number of persons who
get into trouble, and feel sure
they are going to get into court-
land, fear they are going to get
into jail, igo to the editor to get
posted on the law. Fact of the
business is an editor seldom
studies law and knows no more
about it than the lawyers d0'.
¥et the editor extracts some
pleasure from life, for there are
hundreds who plant for him here
d there a rose and now and
drop a dollar in the slot.
Mr. G. W. deCordoyer, of
Petersburg was in Crosbyton

Messrs. L. Clayton, and B* P.
