About three weeks ago he received a slight scratch on the back of his hand, while shelling corn, He thought nothing of the scratch at the time, but in some way it became poisoned, and in a short time his entire arm was swelled up in bad shape. He is practically out of danger now, although it will be some time before the wound heals up entirely.

at First Reduced Frizell S. Co. Earnings to 8 Per Cent. The annual meeting '-'tQie stockholders of the FrtzeBiGrffiiv Supply Co. was held atPbefOurt house in Larned last Saturday afternoon, April 16th.

The report submitted by Manager Perry S. White was very satisfactory, and showed that the company had njade a net earning of 8 per cent on its capital stock from the time of its organization in May, 1909, to March 31, 1910, about eleven months. On motion the stockholders voted to not declare a dividend of the amount, but to leave the earnings in the business as undivided profits. Manager White's report was in substance as follows: "Our company handled 118 cars of wheat from Aug. 9, 1909, to March 31, 1910.

The net earnings for that time were $2,108, or 31 per cent on the capital stock paid in, on which a dividend would be based. From the time of the organization of the company in May until August 9th, when the present manager was employed, there was a net loss of $1,446. This amount deducted frcm the net gain up to March 31st, still leaves a profit of 8 per cent. The company is build- ing new coal bins for the storage of both domestic and steam coal. Prices for both grain and coal are the same as at Larned.

During the year the company handled a total of 149 cars." 1'iart of the formal business of the meeting was the reading and adoption of a constitution and by-laws. The old board of directors was reelected to serve until the next annual meeting, which under the constitution and by-laws- adopted will be held on the fourth Saturday of next January. Matters concerning the bus I iness were discussed at length, and Manager White answered many ques- tions about the business and the new' elevator. At the close of the stockholders' meeting, the board of directors met and re-elected E. E.

Frizell president, C. A. Heaton vice-president, and Perry S. White secretary, and the latter was also re-employed as man' ager. The other members of the board of directors, who were also unanimously re-elected, are C.

A. Scherzer, Jesse Croft, A. H. Lupfer, H. B.

Smith and W. A. Beer. The report of the condition of the business, and the showing made by the manager in the way of earnings in the past eight months was very gratifying to the stockholders. Had the business been as successful during the first few months while Mr.

Noel was in charge as manager, as it has been since Mr. White was employed last August, the earnings of the company would have been close to 50 per cent per annum. But from the time of the commencement of business until Aug. I there was a net loss of $1,446, a good deal of which, however, in justice to Mr. Noel, it should be said, was due to a in a car ofwheat shipped, which was found to be -almost empty when it reached its destination.

Of course a claim put in against the rtiilrcad 'comrany for the loss, but up to the present time it has not been settled. At that time the old elevator was not equipped with the automatic weighing device now in use I with the new elevator, which left the amount the car originally con-j tained open to question. Consider-! mg the fact that he has not only been able to make back this heavy loss, but has also been able to show a net earning of 8 per cent over and above the $1,446 loss, in the eight months he has been in charge, the stockholders have reason to feel very, well satisfied witb Manager White's administration of the company's affairs, as well as that of the other officers of the Company.

Bend paper that a move- ment has been started there to get some of the banks to stay open Satur day evenings to give working people chance to cash their pay checks with-i out having to hawk them about the business houses until they find some-j one to cash them. I would suggest that this would be a good move for one of the Larned banks. Other busi ness places keep open later Saturday night than on any other night to accommodate people, so why not the banks? There are several hundred working men, clerks, in Larned, earning an average of at least $12 to $15 per week, who are paid Saturday night.

This amounts to several thousand dollars every week which must be cashed by business houses if cashed at all, generally at great inconvenience all round. The business man generally deposits his day's receipts before the bank closes at 4 o'clock in the' afte-raoon, but on Saturday he must carry most of this over tc take care cf the big check business in the evening, and then has to keep it in his safe until Monday, risking fire and burglars. Even though employers raid their men early in the day on Saturday, which would not be very good policy as the week's work is not yet done, the working man generally has to use some of his employer's time, cr be docked and lose jt himself, while he goes to the bankj and takes his turn in the usual Saturday afternoon rush getting his check cashed. If even one of the banks would open after supper Saturday night or even during the noon hcur if even for an hour, it would relieve the business men of the necessity of carrying over so much money, and would save the working man's time or his employer's during the day. To say nOthifcg of wuat me oanK-wouiu ue aiieau, iui many men would start an account an deposit at least a part of their Week wages, whereas now when they have to pack it all around in cash many of them find the temptation to spend too great to resist as long as they have a pocket full, and Monday morning finds them broke.

The letter was sent to Capt.
