The past year shows continued
growth in the volume of business in
TINS department with correspor6inyIv
increased earnings. The increase in
the amount of business written through
the association is largely in the amount
OF burglary insurance carried Our
record SHOWS only slight increase in
noellty bonds written owing to the fact
that companies writing this business
are ofterlng better commissions direct
TO banks that has been obtained
through the association. The efforts of
the association have been to get the
pest protection for members at the
lowest possible cost and If by taking
up this subject the officers OF the as
ISOLATION have benefited In the matter
OF rates their object has been obtained
our records show that we are now pat-
ting the lowest rate on burglary insur-
ance ever made in the state and OBJ

Protective Department.
The record in this department for
the year is quite remarkable. Not a
single burglary or attempted burglary
In the state for the year and only a
very few petty forgeries, raised checks
etc. This can only be accounted for
by the excellent work done by the in
terstate protective association with
which our association is Identified and
through whose efforts this association
was organized. At a recent meeting
or the Interstate Protective associa-
ton held In Minneapolis the president
and vice president of eah of the FIVE
state associations cooperating In the
work of this association were invited
to be present in order that they might
report to their respective associations

Gentlemen: The records of the as

crease in membership for the year
closing with the eighth annual con-
vention. One year ago we had 615
banks and trust companies In the state

now have 71S banks and trust COM
panies divided as follows:
14S national banks, 566 state banks
and trust companies with a mem
bership in the association of 579, an in
crease in the number of banks for the
year Of 103 and in the membership of
the association of 100. A special eff
fort should be made the coming year
to enroll every bank in the state. This
has been accomplished in two or three
states and should be possible in North
Dakota.
The following table shows our record
OF membership in the association since
its organization:

ROOSEVELT TO KEEP OUT
OF NEW YORK ROW

New York, Aug. 20.-Col. Roosevelt
mas made it clear to his friends that
the reports that he did not intend to
take any part in the coming state cam
paign were we'll based. AS the colonel
put it, he did not think he had been
encouraged to take an active interest
by the action OF the state committee
in turning down his name for temper
airy chairman of the convention.
His close friends are the authority
for the statement that Col. Roosevelt
has never indicated by the slightest
word what his intentions are with re-
gard to 1912.
The colonel, however, has always
said that he reserved the right to en-
gage in any situation at any time
whenever he feels that his policies de-
mand.
