Well Known Banking House
of lola Changes from a
Private tOa National
Bank
CHANGE TOOK PLACE TODAY
And the New Bank Started
off in a FlOurishing Con-
ditiOn- Capitalized
for $50, 200

Monday the Northrup National
Bank opened up for business in lola,
the change from a private to ma
tional institution being made without
any outward evidence. 1t is the first
national bank in lola and the only
one in the county.
The old bank was founded in 1869
by l.. l.. Northrup and it nourished
uninterruptedly from the day its doors
opened and acquired a reputation
wherever known as one of the sound.
conservative houses of the State. No
panics or financial llurries ever troub-
led it and when on June IS, 1900,
the National Bank takes it place. as
sumes its debts and takes its credits,
the new bank has cash in the vaults
which would pay practically dollar
for dollar to every depositor who has
an account with it. The good which
the presence of such an institution
brings to "A community is only "ealized
when a crash occurs and bank fails
1t takes years for town to recover
from such financial upheaval, but
lola has never suffered the experience
and there is no danger of it for the
future.
With the change to the National
form, several internal changes have
taken place at the bank. The old
force has been retained and w. p.
Hull will assist in the office. Addi-
tional bookkeeping will be required
as the cash account must specify the
gold coin, gold certificates, silver
coin and silver certificates, instead of
saying merely "cash" as before. No
real estate loans will be permitted
and only the best quality of paper
will be handled. The bank will issue
its own paper, which is being pre-
pared for it, to the amount of $50, 900,
depositing in lieu thereof an equiv
alent sum of good hard coin with the
government. This money will be here
soon and will then be put in circula-
ton. New check books are being
printed with the new title, handsomely
engraved, and the customers names
will be printed in attractive letters on
the face Of the check.
The Messrs. Northrup had hoped to
open up as National Bank in their
new building but were unable to do
so. The new building is well under
way and will be the handsomest
structure in the county and will be oc-
cupied as soon US finished. The Off
GERS of the new bank will be the same
as the old: Mary f, Northrup, presi-
dent; f. a. Northrup, vice-president;
ID. p. Northrup, second vice-presi-
dent; j. II. Vannuys, cashier; L. L.
Northrup, r., assistant cashier.

A BIG COUNTRY WITH BIG EN-
PENSES.

X. G, Star:
One of the best ofAmerican epigrams
was that of Thomas Bracket Reed
who observed, when much clamor
was raised about the first billion dollar
Congress, that the United States was
"A billion dollar country. 1t appears
to be again necessary to refresh the
public mind regarding the expanding
magnitude of the nation, in connec-
ton with the vast appropriations made
during the term of Congress which
has just closed. The sum is estimated
at 500, 729, 476, 1t is much augment
ed, of course by the expenses of the
war, but the ordinary peace appropri-
ations of the session are considerably
in excess of 500 million dollars.
The democrats will point to this
great outlay as an evidence of need
less extravaganza and will find in it
an argument against what they call
imperialism. 1t must be remember
ed, though that no nation under heav-
en- ever showed the enormous growth
that is being made by the United
States. The last cencus gave us
population 90 million. The next CEN
sus will show about II millions.
Think of an increase of Is million in
ten years! The United States actually
doubles its population every thirty
years, This tremendous natural ex-
pansion cannot be maintained with
out added expense in the cost of adj
ministering the government. The out
lay for this purpose is not at all out

in this country. The iron industry in
the United States has doubled in
capacity in less than ten years, and
other industries have made similar
progress. The rate of taxation for
Federal purposes is by no means be-
You'd the means of the people. The
proper idea of government is to sup
ply the nation with what it needs and
not to cheaper or cripple it in any
way.
The United States needs the army
which it maintains and its navy is
not in excess of its proper require
ments. Both are necessary to the
preservation of the dignity of the
most powerful nation on the globe
Congress would not be sustained by
the public in any attempt in the di-
rection of unnecessary extravaganza
or prolligacy, but the American people
will not censure or condem the law

Drysdale is now Sophomore in the
state University, where he bears an
excellent character and his soldierly
qualities are well attested by his
record in the Filipino war. He was
one of the five volunteers chosen by
General Funston to secure the raft
upon which he crossed the Marilao
river as the following extract from
Funston's report of that incident
shows:
The river was about ten feet deep, and the
only practicable method of crossing It was to
obtain possession OF one of the several RATS

enemies mtrenchments Not willing to order
men to undertake such a hazardous enterprise.

after much dinculty, they succeeded in shov-

time we kept the enemy down bysweeping the
top OF their trenches with such a constant fire
that it was impossible for them to prevent the
