thereon the history of the strusture Insofar

Cowlea objected to what he called deface
ment of the building. He moved In the
board meeting, that the contractor be com

brick.
. Hera the fm began. The two retiring
members of te 'board wanted the iscord

Secretary of State Junkin thought to mol
lify the land commissioner, who character
ised the Inscription as a "foot etunt," by
moving that the. name of "B. . B. Cowles,
commissioner' Of public lands and build
tors," be effaced and the rest left aa now.
The commlsMlor.er served notice that the
building would not be accepted without the
tones being removed, that he would not
aign the voucher for the final payment vn
tll It waa done, and that It will cost the
contractor ni' to force a settlement
through the courts than it will to chisel
out . the stones tad replace them with
brick. He asked to have his reasons for
voting against the acceptance of the build
ing incorporated Into the record. In this
reason be says:
Because a person happens to be a mem
ber of a board, or an employe' of the utate
at the time public building is going up
is no reason why his name should be
carved upon that building, because his rate
of taxation and his ownership in the build
ing Is no greater or different than that of
every other person In tne state. Let us
have a million names or none.
The Question will be settled upon the re
turn of the attorney general, who is the
fourth member of the board.

WASHINGTON. Deo. 11 Another year of
prosperity and solid growth for the banks
of the United States Is recorded In ths
annual report of the comptroller of the
currency, presented to congress today. Not
only the national banks which com di

of the currency bureau are Included In the
comprehensive review of bsnking condi

trust companies and othr financial Insti

During the fiscal year of 1910 the com
bined resources of the 7.000 national banks
of the United States grew to approxi
mately $1,000,000,000. On September last
their loans snd discounts had reached the
Immense sum of $5,400,000,000, an amount
never before reached In the history of the
national bank system since Its creation
In 1S64. At the same time they were count

assets, a practice which there la no law to

Btatea and Its Island possessions, with
those of the national aystem and allowing
an estimate for those not represented, it
Is evident from the comptroller report that
th banking power of the nation has grown
In the last ten years from 1J.877 of all sorts
of banks, with capital of $1,150,000 and in
dividual deposits of $7.6S8. 000,000 to more
than 17,000 banks with combined capitals
close to $000,000,000 and individual de
posits of nearly 116,000,000,000. The deposits
havs mor than doubled In Uttlg more than
a decade and In the sams time the com

more than $i:,000,000,000.

The volume of business is reflected In
reports which have been assembled from
127 clearing house exchanges showing com
bined clearings of $109,000,000,000 for the
year ended September $0, as against
$158,800,000,000 for 1909. With the excep

volume of business transacted. The New

the current year has reached $102,000,000,000,
some $!. 000.000,000 greater than In 1909. For
those enormous transactions balances of

tour actua' national bank failures
marked the year. Final settlement of the
affairs of eighteen insolvent banks was
made. In which depositors received nearly
8 per cent These administrations war
made at an average cost of about B per
cent on ths collection. From the date of
the first failure, in IS, 14 national banks
bavebeen placed In the hands of receivers
and twenty-five of them have been re
stored to solvency. More than $S,$00,000 in
dividends was paid to depositors of In
solvent banks during the year.
On th whole. It appears from the report
that national banks, conservatively con
ducted, are a profitable enterprise. The net
earnings of the 7,000 national banks dur
ing the year were mor than $154,000,000,
from which dividends of $105,000,000 were
paid at th rat of mor than 10 per cent
of their capital. The government, too, has,

associations, for sine their beginning It
has received more than $302,000,000, of which
mor than 92 per cent has been for circu

A Good Shampoo
In Cold Weather
(From French Beauty Magaxlna.)
"Th true secret of keeping the hair
fine, soft and silky is the use of a dry
shampoo powder. It Is better than wash
ing the head with soai and water and
applying hair tonics. Too much moist
ure ruins the hair- makes It dull, faded
and brittle.
"Mix together four ounces of therox
and four ounces of orris root and you
will have a perfect tonic shampoo,
powder. Whenever the hair la dusty, or
when you want to dress the hair for a
special occasion, sprinkle a little of this
mixture on the head and brush it thor
oughly through the hair.
This will bring out all dirt, oil and
dandruff, cool and refresh the scalp and
leaves the hair clean, fluffy and lustrous.
Therox keep the hair from thinning and
graying, preserves Its natural color and
encourages Its growth." Adv.

With the exception of bank which have
become insolvent as a result of defalca
tions or other dishonesty, failures have
been almost wholly due to Incompetent or
reckless management, the report says, and
persistent violations of the national bank
ing laws and the practices governing con
servative banking.
"A larre percentage of the banks that
havs failed should have gona Into volun
tas liquidation before they reached the
conditions which precipitated th. failure,"
says Comptroller Murray.
The report leaves no room to doubt that
It la the Intention of the present admlnls- I
irauou to rid the national banking gys- I
tern of weak banks by guiding them into
voluntary liquidation, a combination with
strong Institutions wherever possible, or
to discontinue business aa a last resort,
where there Is no probability other than
failure. In this way, the comptroller be
lieves, depositors can b paid In full and
shareholder can save some of their In
vestments and escape the double liability.
During the year 115 national banks went
Into voluntary liquidation, many of them
yielding to that policy, some were ab
sorbed, others consolidated, many left the
national banking field and continued as
state organisations and some discontinued
business altogether.
