So that our patrons can enjoy this feeling of security to the fullest extent, the Peoples State Bank Is a mebmer of the Depositors Guaranty The laws which govern this fund this bank's contribution to its up-keep; its operation in depositors' interests, and its general beneficial effect are matters that our Officers will be glad to discuss at any time with anyone interesed.

v- PEOPLES STATE BANK i Coldwater, Kansas Your business solicited and everything entrusted to our care is handled with painstaking and in strict confidence voted against this bill, because it protected agricultural products of the west. The bill is not all that I wanted it to be, but it had so much good in it that I could not afford to be against it because it did not contain everything I wanted. It protects the wheat, and c.om, and cattle, and sheep. It does not protect us against the importation of beef. We could not get that in, because there hasn't been any beef, to speak of, imported only forty-three million pounds, which is not half a pound a person, has come in ten months but my argument is that the packers will now import beef instead of the live-stock, and instead of muuton.

If they do, however, Congress is going to be in session, and we will not wait long to convince the committee that that schedule should be put in. I am working hard on a bill direct Phone No. 14 Wednesday morning and Will be bur ied at Warsaw, 111., beside that of her husband. Mr. and Mrs.

Kurz and William G. Deubler accompanied the body to the place of interment. A PRETTY HOME WEDDING On Christmas eve at the home of the bride's parents in Irwin township northwest of this city, occurred a very pretty home wedding When Miss Mable McFarland became the bride of Mr. William Brubaker. There were about thirty-five relatives end friends present to witness the ceremony.

The bride was dressed in a beautiful dress of white satin and the groom was attired in a suit of blue serge. The Rev. Corrie, pastor of the M. E. church 'at Protection, performed the ceremony.

Miss McFarland has a wide circle of acquaintances in the neighborhood where she has resided and ever been one of the most popular young ladies among those who knew her. She has a large number of good friends drawn to her by her refined and womanly manner. The young man on whom she bestows her affections resides at Sawyer and has the reputation of being an exemplary young man. As a token of the esteem In which they are held, these young people were the recipients of many useful and beautiful presents. We would be classed among their friends jn wishing for Mr.

and Mrs. Brubaker a most happy and prosperous wedded life. The Platt-Gilchrist Lumber company insist that all accounts due them be settled at once. DIED AT HOME OF DAUGHTER Monday afternoon of this Week Mrs. Mary Deubler passed away nt the home of her daughter, Mrs.

Jacob Kurz, in this city. She was Well advanced in years and her death came from an attack of pneumonia from which she had suffered for short time. She had been here but a short time and was not known to many in this city. OBITUARY Mrs. Mary Deubler was born Essen, Spangenburg, Germany, on September 28, 1838.

She was 'mar ried on December 31, 1857, to Gol-theb F. Deubler. To them twelve children were born. Her husband and five children have preceeded her jn death, leaving seven children to mourn her loss. The "children are: Mrs.

Carrie Faeth, Fort Madison, Iowa; William G. Deubler, of this county; John H. Deubler, Selling, Edward G. Deubler, Phoenix, Oscar Weubler, Little Rock, Mrs, Clara Blakely, Formosa, and Mrs. Rosa Kurz of this city.

In the fall of 1884 she came to this county and made her home here until 1893 when she returned to Warsaw, 111., where she had previously lived, and continued to reside there until 1918, when she Went to make her home with her daughter, Mrs. Clara Blakely, at Formosa, Kan. She later came to Coldwater and was living with her daughter, Mrs. Jacob Kurz, at the time of her death. She was a member of the Methodist church with which fche had united a number of years ago.

The body was taken from here on li DOINGS IN CONGRESS Washington, D. Dec." Now that the Christmas holidays, which ''the lower house of Congress have decided will be from Thursday night until Monday morning, are on, I have decided to give a short statement of our (work here since Congress convened. First, as everyone knows, the appropriations have to be passed at this short session, and the committees are all working hard on hearings. The estimates furnished by the executive departments will be cut nearly two billion dollars. The bills will be passed; if they are vetoed, we will simply wait until after the fourth of March, and re-11 pass them.

With my associates, I have been trying to do something to relieve the situation in the agricultural sections, such as our own; and we have passed through both houses of Congress, and it ia now up' lo the President, an act directing and demanding of t-) the Secretary of the Treasury that the activities of the Reconstruction Finance corporation, which he susi pended last spring, be resumed. The work of this corporation was sus- pended by the Secretary of Treasury to produce a deflation. It has been my contention all summer and still is that he has not produced deflation, but has produced destruction and ruination. I believe, now, we can pass this measure, even if it is vetoed, over the veto, as a number of our associates are awakening to the situation. Second, on yesterday We passed through the lower house a high protective tariff bill intended to protect the producer.

It is the first time any measure of this kind ever passed either branch of the American" Congress. It passed the lower house by a sufficient vote to pass it over the President's veto. It was sure great to see our good old Democratic brethren, who thought the Payne- ceived in Coldwater today by the American Legion Posts, the Red Cross and other agencies cooperat ing in the work of aiding former service men. Announcement was made that on January 12th and 13th any man who believes himself entitled to retraining at the hands of the Federal Board for Vocational education may have his case decided by appearing in Wichita on that day, and if he is eligible for same, may be placed in training at once. Local people who received the announcement declared it marked one of the most important 6tepg taken by Ihe Federal Board for Vocational Education in the handling of its job of retraining soldiers, sailors, marines or nurses, whose disabilities incurred in, or traceable to the service prevent them from compete-ing successfully in their old employment.

The coming of representatives of the Federal Board for Vocational Education to Wichita on the date mentioned will, it is hoped by those concerned, reach the attention of every man who might have a claim against this department of the Government, and the visit of these representatives Will mean for each man the following things: 1. That if he has not yet made application for vocational training such application will be made for him on the spot. Immediately he will be examined by a physician of the Board and his case rated. Then the case will be decided by a Washington representative of the Board, and if the man is declared eligible he will be placed in training immediately. 2.

Those men who have made application for training, but who yet have certain papers to finish before their cases are completed may have these papers completed on the and their cases acted upon and decided. If they are found eligible for training, they will be placed in training immediately. 'It is our the announcement says, 'to decide all cases possible While the representatives of the Board are in Wichita. This Will save time required previously jn sending cases to the St. Louis office for rating, completion of papers, medical examination nnH Aaidn I We hope to be able to give a rating any man who comes before this Case Board, and if he is eligible for training, if it is his wish, to furnish lm transportation to his place of training before he Every man is asked to bring with him a copy of the original of his discharge.

He also is asked to bring with him, provided he has been awarded compensation, the letter of award, or if this is not available a check showing that he has received payment. These two documents fire Vitally necessary to the completion of and decision on his case. All men who wish to avail them- selves of this opportunity are asked to get in touch with the American Legion Tosts or with the American Red Cross. As it is not members of the Board say. 'when it Js possible for another Case Board to visit this section, every man is urged to avail himself of the opportunity granted Practically sven-eighths of the work of getting in touch With the man has been accomplished by the Federal Board in this district.

A nal 'clean-up' drive is to approve training at Government expense to the other one-eighth who may be eligible and interested in such a great opportunity." Coldwater National Bank K. OF P.

The funeral will probably be held on Sunday afternoon, January 2, at 3:00 o'clock at the Presbyterian church in this city. Comanche post No.

122, Amer ican Legion, will have charge of the services and will conduct a military funeral. The officers of the post urge that all men who can do so will be present in uni form. This includes not only members of the post, but all ex-service men from all branches of the service. It is hoped ex-service men will heed this request as a duty they owe a fallen 'comrade and the colors for which they all stand, now as when in the service. And it is also hoped there will be a good attendance of all citizens as a tribute to the men who sacrificed all to our country.

This is the funeral not only of Eugene Wares, but of one of the defenders of the country in time of peril.

C.

Townley and 25 organizers of the Nonpartisan League struck this city today and made Salina headquarters for extensive organization work. He told a United Press representative he would be here a week or ten days. Ho plans to cover the state. ing the Federal Reserve Banks to turn their earnings, about one hundred million dollars," over to the Farm Loan Board for the Farm Loan Banks to buy agricultural paper of the small banks. This paper can run as long as two years.

My notion is that it would help to save the cow herds; it Would help prices by furnishing something, in a limited way, that is one of the biggest problems have to consider, and that something is rural credits. I will be glad to have suggestions from anyone, as I realize things are not in good shape, and it is no boy's job trying to fix them. J. N. Tincher.
