vision.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Resolutions con-
demning both the guarantee deposit
laws and the postal savings bank
were adopted today by the American
Bankers Association at final meet
ing. Arthur Reynolds, chairman of
the legislative committee, declared
that the danger of the political use
of such power as offered by the pos
tai banks should cause all patriots to
hesitate before adopting such radical
measure" He also took issue with
President Taft on the investment OF
the funds of such banks, declaring
that the legislative committee OPP
posed the investment of such sums
in United States bonds or state bonds.
AS a substitute, the committee rec
ommended state and federal supervi'
sion and the creation of separate saw

banks.

REAL ESTATE MEN
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE.
Entire Front of Building CoIapses
Almost Burying the Occupants
Without Warning.

Late yesterday afternoon an acci-
dent occurred on upper San Francis.
co street that nearly cost human
lives. Workingmen for the past few
days have been engaged in overhaul
ing the building in which are located
the offices of o. c. Watson and Com
pany, dealers in real estate and in
surance. Yesterday, while attempting
to reinforce the foundation of the
building, the men dug in little too
far with the result that suddenly and
without any warning whatsoever, the
entire front portion of the building
caved in. At the time there were in
the building. Carl A. Bishop, Paul
Wuenschmann and R. H. McGibbon.
1t was seemingly a miracle that all
three were not buried beneath the
falling debris. Fortunately, they es-
capped unhurt - Temporary offices
have been fitted up by the o. C. Wat
son Co., in the Catron block, on the
corner of Palace and Washington
avenues.

DAKOTA A CORN COUNTRY,

Dakota IL. 9, Nebraska IT, and Kansas
q. l., Oklahoma q. S for nine years and
Texas 10. In this strip extending
across the country from north to south
Nebraska leads with an average of r.. 7
bushels with South Dakota second with
IT, bushels less. These figures, which
are from the December Crop Reporter,
issued by the Department of Agriculture.
do not indicate that corn is better adapt
ed for the south than for the north.
North Dakota's average is 80 bushels
more than that of Texas. The average
yield for the whole country for the same
period was Is bushels.
South Dakota's average was IL BUSH
els more than this. Dakota farmers
are just beginning to realize the great
importance of the corn crop to them.
With careful selection of seed and proper
cultivation Dakota farmers will make
eastern corn growers sit up and take
notice. Plant more corn and take better
care of it. Dakota Farmer.
