KEEP MONEY IN WEST
Efforts Being Made to This Effect Un-
der Postal Savings Law

Aberdeen-The Aberdeen Clearing
House association of this city has
started crusade to keep the money
deposited in the west under the postal
savings bank law, in western banks,
by adopting the following resolutions:
The association adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas, The postal savings de-
pository act has been passed by con-
gress and has become a law and
Whereas, Among the provisions 10
one that moneys deposited in postof-
fees shall be redeposited in banks III
the same localities Banks are re-
quired to deposit bonds supported by
taxation as security for such moneys,
and
Whereas, The board, consisting Of
the postmaster general, the secretary
of the treasury and the attorney gen.
eral may designate the classes Of
bonds required, for such purposes. and
Whereas, Should government
bonds, state bonds and bonds Of large
municipalities be required. It would
be necessary for the banks Of this
state to buy such bonds in eastern
markets, sending money east for that
|
a sum in excess of the postal deposits
would be transferred to eastern cen
tiers and the banks of this state would
not benefit by such deposits; ncW,
therefore. be it
Resolved, That the Aberdeen Clear
ing House association requests our
senators and members of congress 70
use their best efforts to induce the
said board of trustees to prescribe
such securities as shall be available
in this state, such as county bouos
school bonds, township bonds and tile
bonds of such municipalities as are
in our midst; also, be it
"Resolved That the South Dakota
Bankers association and public cH'
aminers be advised of the action o
this clearing house and that the OH
GERS of the state association and Tho
examiner be urged to use their ln:lu
ence to the same end.

THE CONQUEST OF NATURE

ans from Themselves.

When the last century opened mans
conquest of crude nature had not
gone far except in scattered spots An
aerOplane survey of the world showed
in Europe, Asia and America a few
immense national clear farming
spaces, but the earth was still almost
like Garden Of Eden. Ocean swarmed
with whales, seals, ssea otter and sea
birds Animal and vegetable life Of
Africa and America had achieved 0er-
feet balance Africa sWarmed with

was amazing The buffalo of Africa
and the bison of America perhaps
equaled in number all the world S

Rainfall Below Normal

Huron-The weather bureau of this
CITY has given out list of figures on
nrecipitation in South Dakota show
ing that the year 1910 has been far
below the normal for many years, ana
vet the crop in the state is only slight
iy below the normal one, the infer
ence being that it is not the amount
of precipitation which counts nearly
so much as it is the time and manner
Of it's coming. This same fact was
emphasized several years ago by john
Fl. Baldwin, when he was commission
err of irrigation in the state. In his
report for 1898 he mentions such
condition, and calls attention to the
fact that if the farmers, in what was
then supposed to be the artesian belt
of the state in the Jim river valley,
would arrange to supply their crop
with small amount of artesian wa
ter Just at the period when it needed
they could be certain of crop every
wear. His position at that time Pc
| ing that the total precipitation for
/ the year was not standard upon
which crop year could be based, but
/ that year with lighter precipitation
| secured at the proper time would as
sure a good crop. This year has GER
| tainly carried out the theory which
was advanced by Baldwin in the time
of the drouth years of the "nineties."

what its adjustments should be

The case of the human machine
differs from that OF the machine of
metal only for the reason that when
there Is faulty operation defects in
its adjustments are much more GER

that there is scarcely a species of

beautiful piano solos by Miss Como
way, the second in response to the
hearty applause accorded her open
ing selection. Other musical num-
bers on the program were a superb
vocal solo by Miss Browning, which
was so roundly applauded that she
graciously responded, and some fine
selections by a quartet composed of
Miss Browning, Mrs. F. A. Clarke,
Herbert Browning and C. S. Bradley.
Miss Brakel. who recently came to

lighted the audience with her brill.
ant violin playing, kindly answering
the continued applause with sec
ond number. She was accompanied

seph. Miss Brakel is an experienced
teacher of music and is now instruct
ing the Wallowa County high school
orchestra. as well as an orchestra in

in thought and loyal in spirit.
A beautiful streamer bearing the
slogan, Enterprise Does Things"
executed by Artist oakes, occupied
prominent place across the front
Of the hall.
Secretary Payne had the member
ship book open and large number
got into the band wagon. More than
fifty ladies enrolled as members of

way great success.
