cil: C. D. Metcalf of Batesville,
succeeding Robert Neill of
Batesville; T. A. Monroe of
Magnolia, succeeding C. M.

B. C. Powell of Camden.
Delegates to the American
Bankers Association in Boston
October 6: Thomas C- McRae of
Prescott, J. G. Sudbury of
Blytheville, John M. Davis and
W. H. Garanflo of Little Rock,
Clifton R. Breckinridge of Fort
Smith; alternates, George H.
Bell of Nashville, C. C. Agee of
Helena, James E. Parr of Jones
boro, T. N. Neal of Russellville,
E. E. Mitchell of Morrilton.
At a meeting of the Arkansas
members of the American Bank
ers’ Association, of whom there
are about 150 in the state, the
following were elected; Thom
as C. McRae of Prescott, chair
man, Charles M. Blocker of Tex
arkana, member of Executive
Council; George W. Rogers of
Little Rock, member of the
Nominating Committee at the
Boston Convention.
The concluding address of the 1
convention was delivered by j
Hon- C. R. Breckinridge on the!
question, “Our Improvement
Districts and Their Dangers.”
An interesting discussion of
the work of the Girls’ Canning
Clubs was given by Mrs. Ella
W. Lambert and Miss Gela Hope
Brandon of Searcy. Miss Bran
don made a net profit of $111.65
on one-tenth of an acre of veg
etables.
There were enrolled at the
convention 335 delegations, re
presenting 216 banks, by far the
largest enrollment in the histo
ry of the association. Visitors
were present as follows: New
York 4, Illinois 5, Missouri 16,
Tennessee 2, Texas 2, and Louis
iana 5, total 34, besides 65 la
dies and other visitors making a
total registration of 434. In
1912 the total membership of
the Association was 340, and
this year it is 378. Forty-five
new banks have affiliated with
the organization during the last
twelve months.
The state is divided into sev
en groups, each of which holds
its own convention, and elects
its own officers, and this has
greatly stimulated the growth
of the Association.
Secretary Wait’s report con
tains the following on Protective
Work: “This has been a much
more fortunate year for the As
sociation from the standpoint of
expenditures on account of pro
tective work than the last con
vention year. There have been
comparatively few of the great
er crimes against banks and the
work of the office has been large
ly devoted to prompt warning of
the smaller frauds being perpet
rated. During the convention
year the office has sent out four
teen warnings and has co-oper
ated with the protective work of
the American Bankers Associa
tion as far as possible.”

, says: "It gives me pleasure to
1 recommend Doan's Kidney Pills,
: for I know that they live up to
! the claims made for them. My
; complaint was weakness of the
' back which was particularly no
ticeable just after I had been
1 doing housework. The pain was
in my loins and it came on sud
: denly. My back ached terribly
j and I was driven almost prantic.
: I had heard so many people
■ praise Doan’s Kidney Pills that
I finally got a box at Walker’s
! Pharmack. and true to their rep
utation, the contents of one box
cured me. I have not had occa
sion to use thi3 remedy since
I then. It gives me pleasure to
'recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills
' to other kidney sufferers.”

Better Keep the Boy.
At nightfall the Junior partner’s ex
ultatlon of the day changed to chagrla
end he clamored noisily for the errand
hoy's dismissal.
"Better think It over,” the senior
partner advised.
"Why waste time In thinking,” the
Junior retorted, “when he’s got to go?
Here I am, lying awake every night
for a week planning an effective win
dow decoration, which Is turned into u
laughing stock the first day by the
stupidity of that boy, who leaves three
yards cf blue wtoolen dust, rag draped
around silver tankards and trays of
diamond*."
“Well,” said the elder Jeweler,
"people stopped and looked, didr.’l
they?”
"Tee, hut what of It? That dust
rag?” growled the Junior
“That’s why I advise you to keep
the boy,” advised the senior mildly. “If
ft hadn’t been for him I am afraid no
body would have looked at all.”
