" J i-1 ' T' It is worth the ^hne of evqry farm-,' er 1ri this'county not.only to. keep hltf own surplus cash in the bank; but to persuade everybody else he'can* influence to do the same thins. Wliy? In the first, place, the bank is the only ' safe place in which to kfeep money, and In'the second place the owner of the mon^y runs less risk frorir tutufe , misunderstandings , when he pays by * check instead of ca^h. Byt that is by no means alii Cash in a pockejf book or it stocking, or upder the hearth or ?ven in an iron safe la idle and unproductive, representing nothing on 4 Oarth expept so many dollars that ,could be at work. Cash in the bank is, always at work, working for some oouy, ana everyoaay inciuains 1,110 owner; gets benefit from that work. It Is the cash that the seller ^of cqtton, for Instance, puts in the bank that, enables Some other fellow to.hold eottcm. The cash that the bank lends to people of push and energy enables those people to keep their push and energy in action, and whenever push and enerfcy are in action somebody gets \ the benefit of it. By all means eyery sui^lus dollar that anybody has should be deposited in the banks where it can be kept busy and useful. 7^ ? This country, as a whole, has never before experienced sudh financial pros- 1 perity as jt Is experiencing at this, time. So obviously true is this statement that it is'hardly; worth while'to cite any, facts in-support of it. But never has there been so much money in tt* banks, never has all .kinds of trade, been so. good, and never has there been a- more widespread liquidation of indebtedness. , ,Of course there is grumbling and complaint, and of course there- is .hestitation and doubt. This condition is natural. Humanity has ever been so constituted that It has found more interest, and pleasure in the pursuit than in the possession, and always It has been found that possession never brings the satisfaction and content that were in anticipation. It has been said that it is easier to stand adversity than prosperity, and if such be ^the". eaifee, this i? probably the reason. \Vhenr a- man* becomes satisfied, he is near about useless, and about the most miserable creature on earth is man Or woman who is fti want of a want. But notwithstanding all this there are still better and higher things for all who will continue to aim for* them. Men must continue' to work, work, work, and strive to accommodate themselves to the new conditions in order that they may take the next steps on for' ward. No matter what any able bodied vigorous man of middle age may have accomplished in the past the possibilities of the future are greater thap the actualities of the past, und what is true of individuals is true of communities. In the parlance of the late operations in France, now it is up to all, individuals as well as communities, ? "to consolidate grains and move.further forward/? fi Congressman,, Batten, of Illinois, j who ' is traveling In , Germany, has given an interview to a correspondent ' ^>r. the Associated Press, in which he declares that the British are ueihg their control of'the situation In Gdr- ' many to the advantage of British j trade and the disadvantage of American trade. He asserts that the British ( treated him quite insolently when he ^ppUfed for admission into that part 1 of Germany, that is under thfclr direct control, send' he thinks that if AmerK " cans de{lro an e^ual showing as to * German jtrade they ^shoiidd be looking ifter their rights. Assuming that ^hat tiif; bonfcrcssmaxi says .is cor- I cect, and theire lis qo reason: to doubt , it, the pfopbsition is just this. Whatever maV be t$e motives of England in j going to war., she always insists upon special trade privileges as a > reward ] .{or treasure and blood expended. Tnw statement not made by way of , criticism; but'simply as a matter of fact, end it should be understood as such. Of course jibe United States 1 has as ipuch moral riant to German trade, privileges, A England has; but $hie United States will be veiny very 1 foolish to cxpeot England to recognize that fact without some pretty Strong: ] Insistence... This brings us to, the que?* j tiOn as to whether we should use the same method against England aa Eng- ] la/id uses against other countries. The natdral impulse is to say >yea; but if we do, is ' that not admission that Eqglapjffs .way^lB right,, else how ^ could It he ight, for ,?qglan<{ apd, not right for us? Yes, the proposition is really a very unsatisfactory one. Any way we take it the answer is disagreeable. , 1 r . ' ', ! - , -..a. ? The fight between'the Non-Partlsan ' League .arid its Opponents out in North Dakota and surrounding, states } waxes hotter and hotter and charges of conspiracy on the part.(of alleged. traItonou| political beneficiaries'? of ' the "iSeague are being made freely. A few weeks, ago tile news was sent out, 1 broadcast through the presg associa- ' tlons to the effect that the Scaridiiia- 1 vian-Amdrlcan bank at Fargo had been thrown int-a the hands , of a re? '-1 |J?ana thnt 1 oeiver oeutuvq ui iuwitbum, ? >? *-t it, had liaiMlities of millions of dollars 1 with no (better security than 'ppgt- i dated checks given by farmers tq pay ( dues to the Nan-Partisan League. The < published' stories, most of them 1 written up in great detail and all of them giving evjdfjoce of motive be- i .yond a .recitation of the alleged i facts relatinp to the circumstance of i av big banjk failure, paint the situation \ is a perfectly solvent institution, a visionary' socialistic scheme-. By j way'otf .the reply the official or organs ] of tbe Nan-'Parthian League represent i that the Bca'ndlnaviarirAmerican, bank ! as tr perfectly solvent Institution, i amply able to meet ita every obllga- < lion; hut,the temporary victim of , a diabolical plot hatched especially for the purpose , of trying , to discredit the Non-Partlsan League, i even 'at the risk of destroying the erodit of the state of North Dakota. It is explAned that wider the laws t of the state, the banking affairs of 1 the state are under, the general di- i rection of a board consisting of the 1 governor, attorney general and secre- < tary of state. All of these officers j were originally elected by tho non- ] Partisan League; hut more than a j year ago, through the sweet blandish- ] ments of "Big. "Business" it is inti- ] mated, Attorney <3eneral Lianger and ( Secretary of . State Hall went back on the League'and ha>&v since been using every means hi their power to discredit it 'and all It stands for. State Banlc Examiner Lofthus was sent to Florida on an alleged wild goosdchase, and with Lofthus out of the way for'the time being, Langer and Hall passed a resolution giving the attorney general the right to examine all banks in the state. This authority was used. to get at the affairs of the Scandinavian-American bank only, and a report was quickly gotten up j showing the general condition in a way and recommending that post- 1 dated checks were not to be accepted as security. The tip had already been J given out that th^re was something ] doing and all,banks having obligations . of ^he Scandinavian-Amferican began 1 demanding immediate payment. Over ^ the protest of the governor the attorney general and secretary of state ] voted to close the Scandinavian-American, notwithstanding that it. still had. cash in excess of the legal rdserve, and that brought things to an ap- , parent climax. . It Is 'said that predat-' ( ed checks of the farmer are being ac- ; cejsted as security by practically all the banks in North Dakota, as well as of surrounding states, and objec- , tion was made to them only because, j this particular bank seems to bold them in larger proportion. Under the j state laws all depositors are guarnn- < teed by the state against loss; but Governor Fraser and others insist that the state will not have to pay any irung Decause mc oanK is mure muu Solvent. The governor points out that ^heactipn of the. - raajqvity .0t the boati was Illegal in several Important respects and the courts have restored the bank to the control of its own officers pending further pro-' cedure. The friends of the Scandinavian-American say that the procedure that was attempted against it would be sufficient to smash, any bank in the country, and although they admit that they are in for a hard fight, they claim that they are going to win out In all their contentions with the integrity of the bank fully vindicated. ^ ? It is very likely that congress will adjourn between November, 8 and 10 that members can have a brief rest before the beginning of the regular session early In December. / V'l X I fi-}1' I II T W LOCAL AFFAIRS^ 'T-y. *i V* NEW ADVERTISEMENTS r.
