Pledge Their Private Property
aa Security.
LYONS. Neb.. July 3.-(Speclal.) Some
thing new in the way of bank guarantee
was projeoted here Friday by the Farmers

waive the protection of all laws favoring
corporations and place behind their guar
antee all their private property. In an In
terview with the vice president he says
they think it Is all right to pass a guaran
tee law, but all wrong to make one bank
pay for another's failure, hence the bank's
stockholders volunteer to put all they are
worth behind it - and ililak every bank
should be required to do so also, and If
not safe enough to do business with the
public, then let the government take away
their charters. The following Is the text

"We, the undersigned, do jointly and sev
erally guarantee payment to depositors of

of Lyons, Neb. Witness our hands this
