HIGH SCHOOL BANKS

Strdtford fi9h School Decides to Con.
tinue Work of It's Innovation, Thru
tho Summer-Wiil Loan Money on
Deposit in Fall.
Special to es-Republican.
Webster City, June 5.-Stratford,
which has the proud distinction of hav-
ing the only real high school bank in
the state of Iowa, IL not, indeed, in all
the United States, has decided to con-
tinue the work Of the bank thru the
summer months. Miss Clarice Swed-
lund has been elected cashier.
Upon the closing day Of school, this
bank had been operated Just sixty-four
school days. 1t has sixty-six deposit
tors. and there was $250.59 on deposit.
The showing Is really remarkable, for
Stratford has but 800 population, and
Superintendent Ramsburg, who or
iginated the idea Of the bank, urged
the depositors to actually earn the
money deposited. Depositors in this
bank carry regular printed checks, and
its business is conducted in absolutely
the same manner as by the large
banking institutions. At the opening of
the school year In September, it Is
planned to loan the money on deposit,
the school board having charge of the
transaction. Patrons Of the Stratford
schools vote the bank big success,
for while other towns have system
of selling stamps. as they do in the
schools of Sweden. Stratford has real
bank and the students are learning ac-
tual business, while at the same time
being taught the habit of saving.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It is en-
ttirely closed. deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restoredstp It's nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an inhamed condition Of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for. any case OF daafness (cAused by
catarrh) that cannot bs cured by Halls

Hamilton County.

Webster City, June 5.--A new record
has just been established in the price
Of Hamilton county farm lands. George
Knudson has prchased the NJ. v. Tat

The American people use up the enor-

products Of the match timber sawmIIls

the 150-odd factories used up 2oo,000 feet

makers are within sight Of a shortage in
