new SWINDLE WORKED
Cooperative Store Scheme Makes
.he Farmers Dig Up the
Mazuma.

Balfour Statesman: Mr.. Turner,
clerk for Ed. Kiefer, tells of a new
scheme for fleeing farmers that was
once worked In town that he was in
and how it worked. Two or three
stores took an inventory and joined
stocks, formed company and then
sold several thousand dollars worth of
the stock to the farmers. The business
men i'm town that went into it had the
handling OF the store and at the end
of fourteen months the main part of
the stock and available cash had dis
appeared and there was left a few
accounts on the books that were hard
to collect and huge amount due to
wholesale houses. The farmers in the
company had to help pay the debts
and the result of 1t all was that the
stock sold for next to nothing and the
fellows who managed the store bought
1t up with the ready money that they
managed to rake up and were sole
owners again while the farmers had
had a years experience that gave
them pain to think about.

FOR The Y. ". c. A.

Plans are being perfected whereby
the following work win be taken up
by the association OF the Y. w. c, A.
of this city.
The cafeteria which has been in
operation for a year viii be continued
and good, wholesome, wellcooked
food win be furnished at price that
all young ladies of the city, who are
not at their own homes. can afford to
partake of. Those who have taken adj
vantage of the cafeteria since the same
was started have expressed their APP
probation and will be glad to know
that this part of the work is to con-
tinue during the ensuing year.
The cducat ional classes are doing,
ehectua work, particularly the Eng
lish class whereby the foreign girls
are taught to read and write tho Eng
lish language.
When the membership committee
makes it's canvass, it is hoped that
every lady asked to become a mem

New Secretary Under Consideration. s
The committee I'm charge have a
secretary i'm view with a recommen-
dalton from the national board--one
who has had special training along this
line of work and it is thought that che
can be secured to fill the position OF
secretary of the Y. w. C. A. in Fargo.
When the time comes the business
men, no doubt, win be asked for as
sistance i'm the work, financially, and
any favor conferred would be appre-
ciated.
New Location Secured.
The house committee has just found
a. new location that would be suitable
and same is under consideration at
the present time. In these new rooms
il will be possible to have reading
room, or library, and it also is the in
tention to provide a dormitory for
young ladies whose homes are out of
the city. A dining room will be pro-
vided for, as so many have asked about
this.
The Y. W. G. A. of Fargo is not a
local organization, but a national work
and the object is TO furnish young la
dies with a home where a. christian
influence will be felt. The value of
this work perhaps is not realized fully
by young ladies whose homes are in
the city but for anyone who has hap
pened to come to F'argo-not knowing
just where to go for lunch, or for rest,
or for information regarding pleasant
and available boarding and rooming
houses-these are the girls who know
what the Y. w. CA. means. 1t is for

FARMERS DEPOSITING MORE OF THEIR CASH IN BANKS
Shown by National Monetary Commissions Report.

Washington, D., c. American
farmers are using banks more for
repositories of their cash and also
are using checks to a much greater
extent in the transaction of business.
That is shown by report Just made
public by the National Monetary Com
mission on the use of credit instru-
ments in payments in the United
States. 1t was compiled by DR.. David
Kinley, of the University of Illinois.
There has been a great change in
the business methods of American
farmers in the last decade. Those
who had no surplus cash now have
bank accounts, and there has been a
noticeable increase in deposit bank
ing, and therefore in payments by
means of checks. That also is true
in large measure of retail dealers.
The report says that the deposits in
national banks by retail dealers on a
selected date, March 16, 1909, showed
that outside of reserve cities under
the National Banking law the retail
deposits aggregated $36,255, 30S, of
which 68.7 per cent. was in checks.
An examination of retail deposits in
five agricultural States, leaving out
cities of more than 1000 inhab-
itants, indicated that checks are used
more generally by farmers in making
heir payments than is sometimes sup
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1910-03-01

posed. The five States selected were
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and
Texas. Out of total retail deposits in
these States amounting to $4,894,1S1,
the proportion of checks was 1913
per cent; currency, 21.S per cent,
and specie, 5.4 per cent The per-
centage in each State in the order of
the highest ratio Of checks was Me-
braska, 1875 per cent; Iowa, 1872
per cent; Kansas, 744 per cent.
Illinois, 70.5 per cent, and Texas,
6S.5 per cent. Other States, like
North Dakota and South Dakota, in
which there are no large cities, show
a similar condition of affairs.
Among wage-earners the proportion
of checks received and paid out is
influenced in a large degree by the
nature of pay rolls of large industrial
establishments. Taking the returns
from the national banks alone, Law
renee showed a percentage of SO in
total deposits of $72,19S; Fall River,
S0.7 per cent. of checks in deposits Of
$110,5S9; Lowell, 60 per cent. in de-
posts of $79,567; Brockton shows
aga per cent. of checks in total of
$26,407; Paterson shows 52.6 per
cent. in total of $7S,373. These
percentages are high for cities where
the number of wage-earners is SO
large.

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.


The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty of
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous trouble.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought
around to health again by leaving off
coffee and some articles of food that
did not agree with them. They began
using Postum and Grape-Nuts food.
She says:
For a number of years / suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble,
which kept getting worse, until | was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but l
was so reduced in flesh and so ner-
vous that the least thing would over
come me.
Then changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. | lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months Day by
day gained in flesh and strength I'M
til now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and | feel that l
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husbands 73 years old and he
was troubled, for long time, with
occasional cramps, and slept badly.
Finally prevailed upon him to leave
off coffee and take Postum. He had
stood out for long time. but after he
tried Postum for few days he found
that he could sleep and that his
cramps disappeared. He was salts
fed and has never gone back to coffee.
II have brother in California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
