SECOND DAtf'S SESSION
OF FEDERATED CLUBS
At Eureka Springs Accomplishes
Much Work and Listens to a
Debate and Paper By a
Newport Lady.
Eureka Springs, April 28—The
second day's session of the Fed
eration of Women's Clubs opened
this morning with a rush, and
the work of the convention is be
ing pushed with all possible ex
pedition in order to get through
with the business by Friday
evening.
There are fifty-one clubs rep
resented at this convention,
there being seventy-five dele
gates in attendance.
A spirited discussion arose over
the question, “Is our present
system of education superior in
every respect to that of our fore
fathers?" The discussion was
started at the Wednesday night
session and carried over until to
The affirmative side seemed to
have won the day, and the con
vention unanimously pledged the
federation to the work of having
music and art taught in the pub
lic schools of the state.
Mrs. R. M. Johnson of New
port read an interesting topical
paper on “Some Literary Crimes:
(a) The Yellow Journal, (b) The
News Butcher, (c) The Strong
Novel."
A letter was read from a dele
gate to last year’s convention at
Little Rock, offering a reward of
$50 and no questions asked for
the return of a valuable lace
shawl lost at the meeting. The
affair created great excitement,
but nobody came forward with
the shawl.
The delegates will be enter
tained this evening after ad
journment by Mrs. A. A. Van
Allen.
BATESVILLE BANK’S
FINE SHOWING.
The Bank of Batesville re
cently mailed out a statement to
its customers, which shows that
institution to be one of the most
substantial in the state, due in a
measure to the ability of and con
fidence reposed in its popular
cashier, Mr. John Q. Wolf.
Following, we reproduce the
letter:
“We solicit business on our
merits as an old. substantial, con
servative and remarkably suc
cessful bank.
vviin a paiu-up capiuu uj.
$25,000 and a surplus fund of
$50,000. which alone is equal to
the actual capital of any other
bank in North Arkansas, and
which is decidedly larger in pro
portion than is the surplus of
any other bank in the entire
state of Arkansas, we are amply
prepared to take care of the legit
imate needs of our customers.
“Concerning bank security,
we wish to say that the safety of
a bank, either state or national,
depends not on the fact that a
stranger who knows nothing
about the solvency of its borrow
ers, comes around twice a year
and ‘inspects’ it, but rather on
the honesty, integrity and prac
tical sense and ability of its man
agement, as well as on its finan
cial resources. No particular
class of banks has a monopoly of
these virtues.
“State banks are quite as safe
as national banks. Indeed, the
statistics for 1904 show that
there were about 80 per cent,
more failures among national
banks than among state banks in
proportion to the number of each.
See report of comptroller of the
currency, 1904.
“The Bank of Batesville is a
state bank. It is examined, not
twice a year, but once every
: thirty days by a committee of its
; own directors, who are vitally
interested in its well-being, anc
who are familiar with its cits
I tomers. ”
