What A Bank Needs
Of course it is the duty of a bank to look after the needs of
its patrons, but the bank also has so e needs.
Here are a few of them: A bank needs the confidence of
its patrons It needs the good will of every resident of the
community. It ncds a reputation for stability and honesty
These are the- objects this Hank strives to attain, while ren-
dering competent banking service at all times,
The First National Bank.

FORI WORTH
CONVENTION
BEARS FRUIT
Dallas, Dei'. 13.— Jurors who
criticize a Governor's pardon
policy and at the same time wive
criminals light sentences have
little standing with J udge Claude
M. McCallum of the lOlst Dis-
trict Court here,
He told nearly 200 veniremen
Monday that "juries in this coun-
try have lieen too lenient in their
verdicts in criminal cases."
After giving the men a lectur«-
on good citizenship, only 12 :>s
to be excused from jury cervice,
whereas the usual number of ex-
cuses is about 50 on Monday.
"Men go about criticizing the
Governor for pardoning crim-
inals," said the Judge. "Yet
every time you as a juror vote a
light sentence or give a suspend-
ed sentence in a criminal ca e
where you are certain the defend-
ant is guilty, you are merely ox-
ei'cisirga pardon power yourself "
While Judge McCallum was
discoursing thus in this court,
Judge Charles A. Pippeu iu his
court was expiessing similar
vitws on crime prosecution.
Judge Pippen last week ad-
d'tssed the State convention of
district Judges at Fort Worth.
The conrt today verified reports
of his speech as carried bj the
Associated Press and added a
few remarks.
"Crime is getting the upper
hand ol society in ihis country,"
he told newspapermen. "And it
is high time all of our district
Judges as well as citizens who
servo as jurors and our public
officials, wake up to this fact "
Judge Pippjn said he suggest-
ed at the Port Worth convention
that it be ma lea criminal offense
ftr a sheriff to approve a bond
that was not proveu to be worth
its face value. Ho said the meth-
od of handling bonds is one thing
that is encouraging criminals,

HE annual convention of the
American Petroluem Insti-
tute at Tulsa, December 7, 8
and 9. will bring together the
the largest and most repre-
sentative gathering of leaders In the
petroleum Industry that has ever been
held. From 1,500 to 2.000 chiefs of
corporations, technical experts, scien-
tific authorities, 'state and national
officers, economists and engineers,
will consider iu the broadest way the
questions that relate to permanently
supplying fuel to America's 20,000,000
motor cars, and meeting the multitude
ot other demands on petroleum. Offi-
cers of The Institute are shown In the
illustration. All rank among the lead-
ers of the industry
President Coolidge recognized these
problems when he created the Federal
Oil Conservation Hoard, nearly two
years ago, and commissioned It to
study them. The board's report rec-
ognized the desirability of a close co-
operation between tbo industry and
the government in planning construc-
tive, practical measures. It declared
that thrue must rest chiefly on the
Initiative of the industry itself.
Since that report was Issued, Sec-
retary of Commerce Hoover, a mem-
ber of the Oil Conservation Hoard, has
declared emphatically in favor of
such modification of tin anti-trust
laws as will open the way to desirable
co-operations within the industry, pre-
sent wastes and encourage economies.

tutee for It, etc., are at the top ot
all thought concerning the Industry
They will give direction and definite
purpose to the considerations at the
Tt'lsa convention, which promises to
mark a significant advance toward un-
derstanding and mutually helpful co-
operations between business and gov-
ernment. Secretar- Hoover, speaking
on this point, jald uie other day:
"The way to do business in Amer-
ica today is to do It with glass pock-
ets, and show the public what you
really have, and what you really are
doing. You may take the case ot sev-
eral Industries, which have adopted
this policy, and observe the very sat-
isfactory results which have been
obtained.
"I believe that the oil industry Is
clean and has nothing to fear from
a program such as these other Indus-
tries have adopted. When one con-
siders the widespread distribution of
gasoline and the very limited amount
of profit in a gallon of gasoline, surely
not over 2 cents a gallon considering
everything, It is su!*prising. It is a
wonderfully distributed product.
"You have the annual meeting of
the American P"*roleum Institute
coming to Tulsa hi December, and if
members of this body can get together
and formulate some plan regarding
modification of the Sherman anti trust
act, as applied to drilling flu-?h fields,
and properly present this plan, I see
no reason why it should not receive
The aspects of demand, supply, tu-1 favorable action at the hands of Con-
ire sources of oil, possible substi-1 gress." •
