b Il. !. - -. s5 for Len lasds.

A visit by J. H.. Johnson, an ex-
perienced drainage man from Knox
vi lie, Ill, has resulted in an agree
ment with the members of the Ander-
son Land company to begin IN enter
prise which is expected to open Q new
era in the work of redeeming the low
lands and swamps of this county.
After 9 cursory examination of the
lay of the lands south of Willmar
during the latter days of last week,
Mr.. johnson gave his opinion that
the laying of tiles would be entirely
practicable. The cost of laying tiles
will not exceed that of open bitches,
and With tiling there will be no cut
ting up of fields q the ground may be
worked over the drains With tho
fields properly tiled the low spots wilt
be the most productive Of crops. II
the tiles are properly laid and ars
burned to the proper degree of hard
ness, Mr.. Johnson believes there will
be no trouble from frost. While there
is an absence here of the deep gullies
which cut up the Illinois prairies add
furnish an outlet for the tiles, Mr..
johnson believes the county bitches
will answer this purpose nicely.
Owners OF extensive lands have been
interested in the question of tile drain
age, and Mr.. johnson made IN agree
ment with the Anderson Land Co.,
through the Offices of which company
Mr.. johnson was induced to come
here) to snperintend work along this
line, and to furnish competent men to
do the work. Mr.. johnson left for
his home Saturday evening, but ex-
pects to be back in the course of two
weeks for the purpose of making tho
preliminary arrangements for the en-
brickya ard will provide the necessary
kiln to burn tile to the required stan
dard when the demand will warrant it.
The subject of the tile drainage will
interest aYgreat many of the owners
OF farms in this county and the results
of new enterprise will be watched
closely.

Phenomenal Success,

At a meeting of the Board OF Direc
tors of the Madison County State Bank
held Tuesday night, Jan. 10th, the Of
ficers OF the bank rendered report of
business tor the year that must prove
very gratifying to the stockholders as
well a. to all citizens who rejoice in
the success of local institutions.
Viewed strictly from business stand
point we can think of but one word
which correctly expresses the success
of the bank and tn { word !. used in
the acknowledgements
At this meeting the books showed
that al the close of business that day
the deposits in the bank amounted to
the very handsome SUN of S22j, 7g2 3d..
A dividend Of ~ per cent, Of the cap
ital stock was deca ard the stock
holders have received their checks IN
payment. This is uOlhing very unu.
sual, but there's more to follow Be-
sides the ~ per cent. dividend paid TO
stockholders, amounting to $1,000, au
additional sum of $4,000, was carried
to the banks surplus fund and 81 ,l67 So
was carried to the undivided profit
fund. BY adding these three amounts
together it will be seen that during
the year 1904 the net earnings of the
bank amounted to a little more than
80 per cent. of its capital stOck-a
phenomenal business indeed.
1t will be remembered that the bank
opened for business Aug. J, l9Ol-4l
months ago. Business the first year
was good, the second year, better, the
third year best of all. just by way
of comparison let us take the figure $
for the years 1903 and 1904 and these
will show more plainly than anything
else the rapid and remarkable increase
of the business of the banh;
For the year 1903 the net profits of
the bank amounted to "a, 1O3.40,
For the year 1904 the net profits of
the bank amounted to 8S,l67 .86, or
more than double the profits of the
year preceding. If this doesn't spell
success then we don't know what to
call it.
With all taxes reserved ard after
the payment of the dividend above re-
ferred TO the value of the stock as
shown by the books of the bank is
f13l 90 per share-a profit of s3l. 90
per hundred to the stockholders be-
sides 80 per cent. In dividends already
paid. and this in little more than
three vears.
Certainly the officers OF the bank
deserve the grateful thanks of the
stockholders for their wise and care
full administration of the affairs of
the institution, and the town and
county is to be congratulated upon
this evidence of the prosperity Of our
people.
