w1NNEsHEIK COUNTY BANK.
A New Departure in its Business
Policy Reorganization Of Its
Official Board.

Elsewhere in this issue Republican
readers will find the first financial
statement of the Winnesheik County
Bank. at the close of business on Feb.
LIST. Although there is nothing in
Iowa laws to compel a private bank
to issue statement, the officers of
the bank considered that the time
had arrived when it was due to its
large and growing clientage to let
them know the stability of the insti-
tuition in which they are trusting
their funds. We are sure that those
who examine the statement will find
therein double surprise. First and
most important, it is the largest bank
in northeastern Iowa, judged either
from its deposits, capital, loans and
discounts, or the aggregate footings.
Quietly, energeticalIy, persistently,
the management of the bank have
been broadening and deepening its
foundations, at the same time popu-
larizing it wherever it was possible
and still maintain the policy of re-
liable business banking. The original
nucleus of its stability, the Weiser es-
tate, has Ian kept as unit, the
heirs preferring to retain it in that
form rather than divide it. These
have produced the result shown by
the statement. The second surprise
is a very pleasant and appropriate.
one. 1t is the advancement of Mr.. G.
j. Weiser to the presidency of the in
stitution. Mrs, n. s. Weiser has for
years borne 4he distinction of being
one of two women in the state at the
head of banking houses. She now
voluntarily retires to the position of
vice president, greatly pleased that
her only son has proved himself wor-
thy to wear the mantle of the father
who SO ably laid the foundation for
the present institution. 1t is not often
young man finds himself placed at
the head of SO large bank. Mr..
Holway will remain in the position
of cashier he has occupied for years,
as the wheelhorse of the institution.
His capabilities as banker and
financier have long been recognized
by all who have come in contact with
him, and it is a modest statement to
say that few men of his years now ex-
Gel him in these respects. Ole Ode,
in the readjustment, is promoted to
assistant cashier, position he has
won by faithful service. This makes
a bank equipment of rare fitness

THEY R1D1cuLE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea Of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.

Ridicule, However, is not Argument, and
Facts are Stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are SO common
and in many cases SO obstinate to
cure that people are apt to look with
suspicion on any remedy claiming to
be radical, permanent cure for dys.
pepsia and indigestion. Many such
pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially
on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may
be carried too far; SO far, in fact, that
many persons suffer for years with
weak indigestion rather than risk u
little time and money in faithfully
testing the claims of preparation so
reliable and universally used as Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are vastly different in one important
respect from ordinary proprietary
medicines for the reason that they
are not a secret patent medicine, no
secret is made of their ingredients,
but analysis shows them to contain
the natural digestive ferments, pure
aseptic pepsin, sthe digestive acids,
Golden Seal, bismuth, hydrastus and
nux. They are not cathartic, neither
do they act powerfully on any organ,
but they cure indigestion on the CON-
mon sense plan OF digesting the food
eaten promptly, thoroughly before it
has time to ferment, sour aud cause
the mischief. This is the only secret
of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and new
er can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because they act entirely
upon the bowels, whereas the whole
trouble is really in the stomach.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, taken
after meals, digest the food. That is
all shere is to it. Food not digested
or half digested Is poison as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation
of the heart, loss of flesh and appe-
tite, and many other troubles which
are often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at SO cents per package. Adj
dress Stuart Go. for book on stomach
diseases or ask your druggist for it.

Different Views on Wool.

In a letter to the North Dakota
Farmer, Mr.. ]. E. Phelan calls at.
tention to the difference between the
positions taken on the wool question
by Senator Roach and Senator Hans
brough. A North Dakota citizen
wrote to the senators on the ques-
tion of free wool urging them to do
what they could to secure the plac.
ing of a tariff on wool. Roach
writes a letter in which he makes
the remark that the free wool policy
of the democracy has not injured the
sheep industry of the state. He re.
fers to the wooden mill at Grand
Forks as proof of his statement.
The general reader, while glad that
any wooden mill in the state is a sue.
cess, can't see what such a mill has
to do with the success of the farmer
who has sheep. Senator Hans.
brough on the other hand, takes the
republican, the protective view of
the matter, and he can be depended
upon to do what he can to secure a
reinstatement of the duty on wool.

SubscriDtiOn Arrears,

An exchange makes the following
truthful and timely suggestions that
will apply in almost any newspaper
field: sArrears of subscriptions are
accommodating. 1t passes u compre.
hension that our friends should let
their trifling obligations run into
years-two, three and upwards. Ev-
cry outlay of a newspaper is cash
down. If our subscribers don't pay
us, how do they think we can get
along at all! There is not a cent of
profit in a years subscription unless
it is paid in advance. None of those
who are owing us would expect a gro.
Ger to sell them tea on credit for Il
whole year at a cash price. Yet that
is exactly what they expect at the
hands of the newspaper men. We are
getting out of patience with them.
If we owed one of them and would
not pay they would III us without
ceremony"

vocates more system in the mar

that at the coming annual meet

The Journal quoting from an ad-
dress recently made at San Anto-
MO suggests that an arrangement
could be made with the railroad
to telegraph daily to the state Sec
rotary the number of cars received
during the past twenty-four hours
at terminal points and
also to have agents along the
line telegraph daily the number of
cars booked and the dates. This
information could be tabulated
and sent out by the secretary to
the various large shipping points
and in this way heavy runs caus-
ing the markets to 60 to pieces
could be avoided.

he does not think the Stark coun'y
boundary extension will benefit the
taxpayers in the least and that the
only ones gaining any advantage will
be the lawyers and county officers.
l cannot comprehend the drift of
his logic. How the county officers

The running expenses of the Greater

valuation added to Stark county. the

the boundary extension will benefit
every taxpayer, and they should not

that cannot be proven.
AS to Our system of taxation being

it is far from perfect; still it was u

legal exemptions were reduced from
5000 to 1926. This makes many pay

while it may he the cause of some
