MOSER CAN NOT HOLD STOCK FOR DOUBLE LIABILITY State Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Stockholders in the Banks Stockholders of defunct state banks cannot be held for a dou- ble liability according to an opinion of the state supreme court Wednesday in the case of F. G. Fralick, former state com- missioner of finance and liqui- dating agent of the Bellevue Bank and Trust company ver- sus Raymond Guyer. The main opinion was written by Justice R. N. Dunn and con- curred in by Justice William FE. Lee and Judge T. Bailey Lee of the Eleventh judicial district who had been called in to sit in the case owing to Chief Justice Budge haying deemed himself disqualified. Associate Justices William A. Lee and John G. Fralick as state com- missioner of finance to recover from Raymond Guyer a sum equal to the par value of his stock in the Bellevue Bank and Trust company, which stock having been fully paid up. rs The case was tried on demur- rer in the lower court ‘before Judge Raymond L. Givens who held that, a double liability did not exist. The supreme court affirmed that judgment. The action was founded upon that part of the compiled sta- tutes section 5274 which reads in part as follows: “The stock- holders of every incorporated bank or trust company doing a banking business shall be liable to the creditors of such bank or trust company to the amount of their stock at the par value thereof, in addition to the stock held by them.” The defense to the action was that said law was unconstitu- tional in that it conflicted with The action was brought by| section 17 of article 11 ef the office. state constitution which sets forth ‘that “Dues from private rations shall be secured by such means'as may be. prescrib- ed by law but in no case shall any stockholder be individually liable in any amount over or above the amount of stock own- ed by him.” This case was watched with great interest throughout the entire state and especially in sec- tions throughout the state were banks have been forced to close their for one reason or another.

Hurricane was state senator for three terms. He Was a hurricane for true, and blew his way straight through to almost any goal he attained. On one occa- sion he had considerable traveling about over the state to do, so he went to the division superintendent of the railroad that ran through the terri- ‘| tory where he wanted to go. “‘T want a pass on your road,’ Hur- ricane told the superintendent, “The superintendent looked up at his visitor In astonishment, too taken aback to reply for a moment. “*You want a what? he asked. “*S< pass—p-a-double s!’ Hurricane exclaimed impatiently. ‘One that Is good on your entire system -in this state.’ “The superintendent cleared his throat carefully, the while he -parried for time. “*Are you an employee of this rall- road? f “‘Of course I am,’ Hurricane as- sured hint. “Tn what capacity? the superin- tendent demanded. “‘Capacity!’ exclaimed Hurricane. ‘Iam a member of the Missouri gen- eral assembly.’ ”—Kansas City Star. WOULD TEACH BOYS TO COOK English Woman Physician Argues That Such a Proceeding Would Solve Many Problems. “Should boys be trained in house craft and cookery?” was the question debated at a meeting of the Women’s Freedom league of London. Dr. Eliza- beth Sloan Chesser argued that the teaching of housewifery and cooking to men and boys would help to solve many social problems and improve the health of the community, reports the London Daily Telegraph. Housekeep- ing, she said, was much more arduous work than journalism, public speak- ing and medical practice and, there- fore, men were more fitted for it than women. Men excelled In execu- tive work, and Sf they could create better music, painting and poetry than women, they could also create better savories and soups. A. Clephan Palmer sald women were becoming more masculine and to hold thelr own men must become still more masculine. They did not do that by cooking chops or dusting ornaments. Moreover, it was unnecessary, as the modern idea was to be*as homeless as possible. Two rooms and a car was the American ideal. He advised men to follow the precedent of King Alfred and let the cakes burn, World Cities on Same Parallel, If you had to travel directly east from the city hall a distance of 5,622 miles you would cut right through the southern suburbs of Constantinople. It is remarkable that so many cities of first importance are situated on the same parallel. That narrow belt, hardly more than 90 miles in breadth, which encircles the globe between 40.20 degrees and 41.50 degrees in north latitude includes Constantinople, Rome, Madrid, New York and Chi- cago—five cities as important or his- torical as any other five perhaps in the world, London is considerably north of New York. It is situated in about 51.45 degrees north latitude, thus being in about the same parallel as Calgary.—New York Sun. Wild Geese Blocked Railroad. Wild geese thronging the right of way of the Spokane-Portland railway north of Wallula, Wash., interfered seriously with the operation of trains for about a week. So numerous were the big birds that several times it was necessary to stop trains that the be- wildered honkers might not be slaugh- tered by hundreds. Wngineers tried to drive the birds from the tracks by tremendous blasts from the locomo- tive whistles. When the great tlocks took wing to clear the way for the trains the nolse of their beating pin- ions could be heard for a great dis- tance. Big Saver of Labor. In potato harvesting, by connecting a loader to the rear of a digger, both being hauled by a tractor, the pota- toes can be dug and loaded simultane- ously into a horse-drawn wagon movy- ing alongside the combination. One of the two potato elevators of the loader ig arranged to dump the pota- toes into the wagon. These elevators are constructed with separated steel slats so that any dirt left on the po- tatoes will fall to the ground. The elevators are driven by a system of sprockets and chains in connection with the. wheels of the loader.—Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine. Forest Fires Kill Fish. Anglers, guides and sportsmen gen- | < erally, who are interested in conserya- tion of the country’s inland game fish supply, are warned by the bureau of fisheries to take especial pains to pre- vent forest fires, as these have been responsible for widespread destruc tion of fish. Streams that once teemed with trout now have not a single fish as the result of a forest fire, bureau officials say. They helleve their destructior resulted from the increased alkalinity of the water, due to the leaching out | ee" Will Handle Millinery e We assure our customers that in due time we shall be in a posi- tion to supply-your wants in mil- linery.
