The meeting One month ago, Elmer Renner, 20 vited guests of the Association for the Oakley meeting. Governor Bailey is a fine orator, and this coupled up with a lot of hard headed common sense made his speech especially apprecia-ted.

The store has been in practically the same location all of the past quarter of a century and each year has witnessed a steady growth in the business. The growth has never been phenomenal, but good years with bad here was under the direction of F. W.

WHITE MAKES GOOD For three years I have been in Washington and, as a newspaper man in constant observation of tho doingj of Congress and Congressmen, naturally I have been chiefly interested in the Kansas Congressmen, and I am glad to bear testimony that, in my judgment, Kansas has 'never before been represented so well in either house of Congress. I have been particularly Interested and impressed with the good work done by Hays B. White, representative from the Sixth Kansas District, "rom the first day Mr. White began nnking friends, and now that his fourth year of service is approaching end I am sure I can truthfully say 10 man stands higher in the esteem his colleagues than the farmer Congressman, Mr. White.

It is not necessary that a Congressman have his name attached to a particular piece of legislation in order to have had an important part in its formulation. A brief but timely speech frequently accomplishes a vast deal in shaping a policy, and Mr. White has become noted for his short pithy speeches. The immigration restriction law, which is one of the most important achievements ef tho Republican congress, bears the imprint of his thoughtful consideration The soldiers bonus bill, which tho President unhappily vetoed, was a much better measure than it would 'iave been but for Mr, White's Bturdy and effective opposition to its ruinous land-settlement features. Whim i soldier bonus bill is enacted it will bj free of these absurd features so jffectually opposed by Mr.

White. On all the farm legislation, from the emergency tariff down through the list, Mr. White's position was that of his farmer constituents. He consistently and vigorously supported the revival of the War Finance corporation, which placed a billion dollars into farm credits and the moving of farm crops and livestock, the enlarge, ment of the capital of the farm loan banks to $50,000,000 which brought about the lower farm loans, the co-opcrativo-market ing bill, the Capper-Tinchcr bill to prevent gambling in grain futures, the bill to control and regulate the stockyards, and the measure to put a dirt farmer on the federal reserve board. All these laws are beneficial to the more you haven't put in this mort with hi injury.

Pres. Kansas Bankers Assn. Mohler talked of Kansas and her agricultural resources and if you give him a paper and pencil and afew figures it only takes him a very short time to show that Kansas is the greatest state in the Union. And of course his audience agreed with him and were surprised they did not know some of the fine things he told them about Kansas. Thad C.

Carver is a fine speaker and has had wonderful experience in banking. He is a booster for the Bankers Meetings and has a pleasing manner that makes him a favorite at every convention. Committee appointments were then mad and a noon lucheon for men was served in the M. E. church dining halL A luncheon and reception for -the visiting ladieB was given by the wives of the officers of the First National Bank and the Farmer's State Bank.

Mrs. L. C. Snyder and Mrs. C.

M. Miller were the hostesses at their commodious homes and something like a hundred ladies in attendance made the receptions each a fine success and many nice compliments were passed on the manner in which the Oakley banks took care of their visitors. At two o'clock the bankers assembled for the afternoon session and assistant-State Bank Commissioner San-dell made an opening address and brought to the Group Six fellows a message from the State Bank Commissioner. Sandell followed by Fred Beeby, of Hays who gave a very interesting addess on how to "Com' bat Mail Order Finance." Mr. Beeby deprecated the tendency of farmers and others who have money to invest, investing it with'some get-rich-quick outside of their home community and getting skinned out of all they invest in the long run, Mr.

Beeby apparently has the situation doped right as enough money has been taken out of the Oakley territory in the last three years by stock companies and get-rich-quick concerns and bunco games to leave all of us sitting easy Quartette furnished the music for the Mr. Kagey gave an interesting talk and about the only criticism we have heard of it was that it was a red hot Republican speech. Those people who expected a pussyfoot talk should remember that Mr. Kagey is sent out by the Republican Speakers Bureau to make Republican speeches. Kagey has had an interesting experience as embassador to Fin Bank of Phillipsburg.

He got three "birdies" in the round, (besidea his usual run of luck.) Dr.

Arnold and Tom Taylor, reputed to be two of Colby's best with the golf sticks, were very neatly defeated by iCarlton and Richardson of the local club here Sunday. Arnold 55, Taylor 48, Richardson 46 and Carl-to 47. The Colby fellows could not think of enough nice thirds to say about the fins Oakley course and were greatly pleased with it. The Colby course is much rougher and also 400 yards longer than the Oakley course. Miss Blanche Keeling has the honor of being the first lady golfer to hold membership in the Oakley Club.

1 "1 Beeby was followed by Franklin Brooke, of the Winona State Bank who spoke on Federal Aid Highways. You have to give it to Brooke when it comes to making a speech. He made Federal Aid Highways sound as inticingi as if he had been talking about Angel Food cake, or roast young turkey and cranberry sauce'. James T. Bradley, of the Commerce Trust Company, of Kansas City, gave perhaps the clearest and most concise summing up of the financial situation before, during and after the war than any other speaker.

Bradley has been a Banker for 49 years and he left a message of hope and cheer with the members of Group Six that will carry them for quite a way on the road to normalcy, At 6:30 in the evening a banquet was tendered to the bankers and their wives and a number of invited guests in the dining hall of the Methodist church. The Ladies Building Club of the M. E. Church had charge of the banquet and that is enough to say it least a small holding in this company. 5th.
