This Is tho only chango In the show pro gram. THE ASTER Aftor all, tho happy contest to eolect tho official flowor for Klam ath has shown conclusively how many flowers bloom to perfection horo, nnd how nlcoly the ladles choso n list ot candidates. Thu con test has bcon harmonious and ha attractod much attontlon to a sub ject hitherto too llttlo considered horo, although many housewives without ronporatlon havo grown numerous beautiful flowers, and soloctod varlotloa with consldorublo caro. Tho newspaper publicity given to cortaln varlotlos In this friendly competition han not so far mention ed cither tho nater, phlox, or colum bine, nil hardy and splondid flow ra and provon at homo In our tor tile soil and under our summer sun. Tho astor, especially aster chlnen sis, cannot woll bo heaton for vari ety, ot colors, vigor of growth, and for long nnd Into period of bloom, though not fragraht. It In ono of thoso flowers that happily ylolda woll to good trontmont, yot doos not dotorlorato much with neglect. Aa a Iato bloomor, oven aftor au tumn has bogun to chill tho air, it Is almost without a poor. Friendly competition, yes! Tho writer knows that tho lato rotor onco to tho goldon glow, ono ot tho most popular, aud deservedly popu lar candidates, with roforenco to Its color, was mado In tho spirit ot humorous irony by a Herald writer who la a groat admlror of that Pflowor and who oscllntod In Judg- n on t which to contond for, tho golden glow or tho Shasta Daisy. It tho golden glow should win, and such may really bo tho rosult, no ono will bo more loyal to thoquoon oloct than that samo wrltor. Really, thoro la a now( spirit In the Klamath atmosphoro.and the pooplo aro going to harmonize moro happily than thoy over Havo in tho past, at loast since tho oarly days of privation and war, when they had o stand together for their very ex istence. When tho Klamath queen ot flowers comes into her own. no portion ot our grrfat and rich basin vill bo without her presence, and tho defeated candidates will all bo in her cabinet. ADIL.DEQAAHD T H T I Siemen's Reorganization Plan Culminates in the Fullest Success Monday morning at 10 o'clock tho doors ot tho First Stato nnd Savings bank will swing open nnd buslnoss will bo resumed after suspension of 60 days. It will mark tho end ot ono of tho most rnmarkablo periods In tho banking history of Oregon ono ot tho most romarkablo in tho history of any state, for no ono has been fouml whoso memory can re call an Instnnco that will parallol that surrounding tho closing and oponlng ot this Institution. During tho period that has olapscd alnco tho bank closed, tho pooplo who trusted their funds to tho First Stato and Savings bank novcr doubted for a moment but that It would ro-opon and It has boon this confidence that played tho important part In the re sumption. So great was this confi dence, not only among tho deposi tors, but among thoso who wero not associated with tho bank, that when It was announced that tho capital would bo Increased to aid its re oponlng, tens of thousands ,of dol lars poured In ,ovor 60 per cent of which was from pooplo who were not patron at the time ot suspen sion. And tho end Is not 7ct. If Monday docs not seo a demonstra tion of cnthuslaam that will live in tho memorlea ot thoso fortunato en ough to bo thoro when tho bank opens its doors, The Herald will ho moro surprised than It has yot been. It will havo aa its first vlco presi dedont Marshall Hooper Oregon's, assistant state superintendent of banks and rocognlzed aa in tho very front ranks of the leading bankora of tbq stato. Hla Idontlty with tho bank aa a stcokholdcr puts a stamp upon tho solidity and solvency of tho bank that words cannot convey, for Mr. Hooper, as a state official, ex amined Into ovory asset ot tho In stitution and it it woro not every thing that a bank should be, he would not becomo a part ot It. Hla coming means his turning down a offer from tho banking department of California, his ability having been recognized by tho officials ot that stato that has boon sought after for nearly a year and finally con sented to accopt tho offer, until he found that ho could bocomo con nected with tho First Stato and Sav ings bank. It will havo back ot It tho sup port ot ono ot tho oldest nad strong est financial Institutions ot tho state support that comes bocauso Investigation rovoals that the First Stato and Savings bank dosorves tho support it glvea and bocauso it is financially sound beyond tho slight est doubt. 1 It will havo back ot It tho actlvo moral and financial support ot two hundrod and fifty-eight stockhold ers, practically all ot whom aro rosldonts of Klamath county. Qroatost of all, It will havo back ot It tho contldonco of tho pooplo of tho county, n contldonco that opon cd tho doors, n contldonco that plac ed at tho disposal ot Its offlcors 9240,000 in cash and that would, It conditions demanded it, moro than doublo that sum. Captain J. W. Siemens returned 'from Portland last ovenlng. It was announced from his offices yester day that ho would not reutrn until this ovenlng, this stop having boon necossary to avoid nnothor demon stration In his honor, plans for which wero bolng formed when It waa loarnod that he was roturulng. It was not tho deslro' of thoso Inter ested in tho rcoponlng of tho bank that any unnecessary enthusiasm should be Indulged In at this time. It being felt that the time for that would be when the hank, opened. While iu Portland Captain Sie mens concluded the arrangements that will insure the bank against a rocurrenco ot any such contingencies that necessitated the suspension 60 days ago. Ho also arranged with tho bonding companion that tarnish ed tho bonds given aa security for tho various funds deposited In the bank such as tho county money, and government tunda of alt kinds to lot them stand as they always havo been and no domand will bo mado for their renewal or change Jn their conditions. This agreement was ontorcd into in writing and at focts every bond tho bank has. Thin action moans the removal of the last barrier that had to bo overcome and meant a further approval ot tho sol vency of tho bank and assurance ot continued confidence by one ot the most critical class ot financial In stitutions In tho world bonding companies. In thla city today aro J. B. En yard, representing tho Bankers Dis count company of Portland and Frank Soeds, representing the First National bank of San Francisco, and tonight Bob Howard, representing Ladd & Tllton of Portland, will ar rive Tho presence of these men noeds no explanation. Their being here speaks for Itself and Is an add ed testimonial to tho aonndnoaa of the First Stato and Savings bank. All waa hustlo and hustle, around tho Siemens offices throughout the day. Tho old members of the bank ing force wero In and out getting In structions and preparing for the great event. Over in tho bank the palntors and decorators were rush ing their work, so oa to bo out ot tho way on Monday morning. Cap tain Siemens would not tako tlmo to issuo a statement beyond the brief ono, "tho bank will open at 10 o'clock Monday morning." Riverside Pupils Examined By Nurse Tblrty-tbrco pupils from the Riv erside school wero examined yester day and Wednesday by Miss L"ydia Frlcko, county health nurse. Tho pupils wore choson by the teachers as bolng obviously defective. Miss Frlcko states that at present sho Is not taking tlmo to. o,ovor the entire enrollment of each school, aa the work started so late this year that It Is nocesaary to tako tho worst cases first and start corrective meaaros. Partial examination has been made in tho Control school. All dotoctlvo pupils are given a note to tholr paronts, noting tho troublo and pointing out the remedy. It la neither compulsory for the pu pils to submit to examination or for tho parenta to tako the advlso ot the nurse, but Miss Frlcke states that ap parently many aro glad to avail them solvps of tho service. Defective teeth, ospoclally, aro receiving attention, and dontlsts roport great Increase In their work among children. T Personal Mention B..H.
