VERNONIA EAGLE
Engage World’s Champion
Shot For the Legion Show
That Mrs. Buffalo Bill, wonder
woman and champion revolver shot,
who hails from Australia (or maybe
it is Missouri) will be able to be
here for the Legion show April 14,
is the opinion expressed by Dr.
Geo. Pasto, in charge of the com
ing local vaudeville production, who
states that he has received a tele
gram to that effect.
Mrs. Bill has been known to'
keep an audience fascinated for,
hours with demonstrations of her
wonderful marksmanship, according;
to Dr. Pasto, and an interesting and
comical entertainment is promised.

THE BANKER-FARMER
MOVEMENT GROWING
Scholarship Higher
At State University
Diploma Issued in Japanese at U. of O
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu-
gene.—A substantial improvement in
scholarship is shown in figures for the
fall term this year, over the same term
a year ago, it is announced by Earl M.
Pallett, registrar. This improvement is
shown in spite of the fact that stan
dards have been steadily raised in
every school and department.
The general average of all students
rose almost two points, from 38.40 to
10.11, The average for men rose from
35.41 to 36.80, while women advanced
from 42-00 to 44.14. Fraternity men
showed an increase from 35.45 to 36.98,
while non-fratern!ty men made almost
the same gain, going from 35.38 to
36.63.
Sorority women rose from a standing
of 43.16 to 45.96, while non-sorority
women scored 40.98 a year ago, and
42.09 this year.
Grades are figured on a point system
as follows: Grade I (highest), five
points; grade II, four points; grade III,
three points; grade IV, two points; and
grade V, one point.
There are several reasons for the
growth of the bankerfarmer move
ment tn Pennsylvania, William S. Mc
Kay, Chairman of the Agricultural
Committee, Pennsylvania Bankers As
sociation, has reported to the Agricul
tural Commission of the American
Bankers Association.
The cooper
ation and leadership of the county
agents in the several counties of the
state; the appointment and function
ing of county chairmen of agriculture
known as Key Bankers, one of whom
there Is In each county of the state;
and the organization of county bank
ers associations, whereby agriculture
Is given consideration by all the banks,
are responsible for this Interest. The
following table shows the activities
tor the year:

"There Is probably no class of busi
ness men that has a greater oppor
tunity for helpfulness than the bank
ers in this movement," declares Mr.
McKay. "It builds up a substantial
community which makes for better
banking Institutions; It adds to the
material prosperity of our state, but
above all. It !s the expression of a
service which will react favorably upon
the character of those Interested.”
BANKERS HELP OUT
The Oklahoma Bankers Association
for the past twelve years has financed
through Its five groups ten scholar
ships in the A. & M. College at Still
water. The winners are chosen by
the Extension Department of the col
lege on the merits of the club work
done by the boys and girls over a cer
tain period of time. The groups of
the association finance the first year
of the winner’s college work.
