Keep your savings, your surplus money in your own com
munity—where it belongs—and where it will work for you
over and over again.
Money in your HOME BANK will help build roads, sup
port 'schools,, and aid your local companies and business
houses and make certain YOUR pay roll. It will bring new
business to your town and thus give you more for your dollar
when you buy. New business increases the value of vcur
property and decreases your taxes. A rr.an or woman with a
bank account never worries about hard times.

League meeting last Saturday night
has been revealed. It seems the

of the citizens. The climax was
reached last Saturday night. Former
United States Senator J. R. Burton
was escorted from Great Bend by
the Anti leaguers, and after the
meeting they caught J. M. Stevic
and A. A. Parsons and proceeded
with the tarring operation. It seems
the culprits were themselves com
pelled to apply their own coats of
tar, after they had been compelled
to undress. When the coat of tar
was on, Stevic and Parsons were
compelled to roll on the ground, af
ter which their clothing was return
ed and they were told to leave town.

ALASKA Will BE
GIN AMIS
Washington, D. C., Mar. 14.—
News of great Interest to Alaskans
la contained in a despatch from
Washington. Senator Cummins of
Iowa, who is chairman of the Inter
state Commerce Committee of the
> Senate is actively concerning him
I self in the matter of the government
railroad and in Alaska's transporta
tion in general. He has just con
cluded a series of conferences with
the new Secretary of the Interior
a former colleage of Senator Cum
mins and himself a western man.
In his conferences with Secretary
Fall, Senator Cummins urged upon
the Secretary the policy of the elim
ination of the army from any con
nection with the railroad. In a
specific sense Senator Cummins
meant the removal of Mears i>uO
is in charge of the completion of the
railroad, and Mrv Mear's assistant.
The Senator advocates a civilian con
trol of the railroad by the appoint
ment of a general manager for the
property who will complete the con
struction work, and carry on its op
eration. He advocates the appro
priation of ten million dollars for
the completion of the road and the
start of operations. In addition to
this he proposes the establishment
I of a government line or steamsnips
to connect with the road at Seward
and ply between there and Seattle,
connecting the railroad with the
States, and providing freight and
passenger rates sufficiently low to
develop traffic and to permit the
territory to acquire its neerW
growth in population. Cummins
told Senator Fall that the high wat
er transportation rates are the dir
ect cause of the territory's loss in
population in the last ten years. He
said further that according to his
information the existing steamship
lines to Alaska are controlled by
the copper mining interests.
Cummins is in favor of the con
tinued government operation of both
the railroad and steamship lines.
Secretary Fall was much impressed
with the arguments presented above
as Is indicated by»the fact that he
will give the entire problem his im
mediate study and attention.
