Pertinent Questions.
Do you know that the Upper House
of the N. d. legislature passed on Feb.
Ia, 1913, by vote of 81 to 10 Senate
Bill No. 8, bill poviding for woman's
suffrage?
Do you know that the Lower House
of the North Dakota legislature pass
ed on March 18th, by vote of II to 20,
the same bill providing for woman's
suffrage?
Do you know that the Governor of
N. D.. signed the bill providing for
woman's suffrage on March 18th, 1913?
Do you know that this bill will be
voted on by the male citizens of N. D.
at the fall election, Nov. 3, 1914, and
must receive majority of all the
votes cast to become law, and if car
ried that North Dakota women may
vote after this election?
Do you know that to pass with ma
jority of votes means it must be the
biggest question voted on? Will you
help to make the majority?

CENTRALIA BANKS
CLOSED DOORS
FAILURES DUE TO EUROPEAN WAR
AND DULLNESS OF LUMBER
MARKET
Had Invested Heavily in Commercial
Paper in Which Other Failed Banks
Interested In.

CENTRALIA, Wn., Sept. 21.-The
United States National bank with de-
posits of over $1,000,000, and the Union
Loan and Trust company with deposits
of over $250,O0O, both failed to open
their doors today following an inspec-
tion of the books of the institutions by
Federal Examiner Multi.
Directors of the institutions today
assert they will turn over all their
private property and that depositors
will be paid in full. George Dysart, a
stockholder in the United States Ma
tional, attributes the failures to the
European war, the dullness of the lum-
ber market and the fact. that other
banks called in the paper it had in the
local institutions.
1t is said that the trouble is directly
due to the financing of mills and log
ging properties in which the bank peo-
pie were interested.
The State Bank of Teniho, owned by
the same interests as the two institu
tions here, also failed to open their
doors this morning. This failure, bank
stated, was largely due to the
fact that the bank had invested heavily
in commercial paper similar to that
held by the other two local concerns.
