Big Crop Returns Create Cash
Surplus in Western
Bank Vaults.
Vast Purchasing Power Seen
in Idle Money Of Prosper
GUS Farmers.

Minneapolis, Minn., Nov 25.-Banks
in western North Dakota were in the
Minneapolis money market today buy
ing commercial paper There is so
much cash in their tills that they are
unable to find use for it at home.
This is remarkable situation. 1t
arises from the big grain crop and
high prices. In 1902 there was a SINH
lar condition, on small scale, COM
parable to the then existing stage of
partial development of the north and
west counties of North Dakota. In II
years since there has at no time been
anything like it until now.
Small banks, in territory roughly
defined as embracing Bottineau, Nc
Henry, Ward, Renville, Mountrail,
Burke Williams, Divide and contigu-
Gus counties in the "far out" part OF
North Dakota are full of money. The
grain yields ran heavy, prices were
good, farmers sold, put their money
into the banks and paid off their i'm
mediate obligations and left the re-
mainder on check account on time de-
posit.
One small bank in that part of
North Dakota, in its statement on call
of Oct. 81, showed that for every $10O
in its deposit total, there was nearly
$50 in cash in the bank, or in the form
of money due from bank and 1mmedi-
ately available. Other banks in the
same territory showed cash balances
ranging from 25 to As per cent. In
seven banks ranging in capitalization
from $4,000 dow to $4,000, there was
combined deposit total Oct. 81 of
$1,147,053. of this S3S8,991.72 was
cash. For every $100 of deposits in
these seven banks, considered col
lectively, there was $34 in cash in the
tills or due from banks and immedi-
ately available.
This is the showing made by banks
the condition of which is fairly illus
trative of the General banking situ-
! alton in North Dakota. 1t is reflective
of general business conditions in that
state and shows that this important
part of the trade territory of Mime
apolis is in position where its purchas-
ing and dept paying powers are great
and the outlook for the year to come
is highly favorable.
The law requires that there shall be
at all times, 20 per cent of the totol
deposits of the state banks of North
Dakota in the banks, in cash, due from
banks, or in other form considered
cash. The new currency law under
which the Federal Reserve bank of
Minneapolis now is organized and op-
Grating, requires that the national
banks shall maintain 12 per cent of
demand deposits and per cent of
time deposits in cash or form consid-
cred cash. But the actual cash in the
banks at this time is so far in excess
of all legal requirements as to make a
situation unparalleled.

An Appeal In Behalf of
The Destitute BeLQianS

The Millers' Belgian Relief Move
ment has been organized with the ad-
vice of and in cooperation with the
Central Committee of the Belgian Re-
lief Fund of Washington and the
American Ambassador in London.
1t purposes collecting 10000 barrels
Of -four Of the approximate value of a
half million dollars, one-half to be con-
tributed by the general public and
one half by the millers.
The railroads have agreed to trans
port this -four to Philadelphia without
any charge, while the cost of the ocean
transportation, $41,000, has been con-
tributed by a few individuals.
The British and German govern
ments have consented to the arrange
ment, thus insuring it's safe carriage
and delivery.
The American Ambassador in Lon
don cables: Food cannot be bought
on this side of the world. Money sent
will be of no use. Food sent, except
through this Commission, may never
reach Belgium or may be confiscated."
Those who contribute to this cargo
are not thereby showing partisanship.
Relief of starving women, children and
old men of Belgium is the common
duty of humanity. It helps the Ger
mans as much as the Allies to assist
in alleviating the frightful distress
which his befallen innocent non-com-
batants on accout of war.
How North Dakota Can and Why it
Should Contribute.
Every bank, newspaper, elevator
agent and -four mill manager in the
state is authorized to receive dona-
tions of wheat, flour or money.
The wheat and money contributed
will be converted into flour at the
nearest mill and the -four will be ship
ped, free of all freight charges, direct
to the chartered ship, Northwestern
Miller" at Philadelphia, from which
point the personal representative Of
the Northwestern Miller will accom-
pany the shipment and personally as
sure it's delivery by permission of the
American ambassador in London and
our minister in Belgium.
For each SIPS handed to your local
bank, newspaper, elevator agent or
miller, at least one 49-pound sack of
flour will reach Belgium, without fur
ther cost.
For each five bushels of wheat de-
livered to the elevator or mill, ap-
proximately one barrel of North Dako-
ia Patent Flour will have like deliv-
cry.
Why the North Dakota Farmer and
Business Man Should Respond
Promptly and Generously.
The 1914 wheat, rye, oats and corn
crop of North Dakota will realize at
least thirty million dollars more
money because of the European war.
The farmers and business men of
North Dakota are richer by just this
amount by reason of the war.
Hence-the farmer and business
man should be the first to respond to
this urgent call.
If every farmer in the state will to-

merchantable wheat, according to his
ability (or if he has already sold his
wheat, then the proceeds in money!,
it will save the lives of thousands of
suffering Belgian women and children,
and furnish evidence to the world that
the hearts of the men of North Dakota
are as expansive as the prairies of
their noble state.
If every man and woman, not a
farmer, will today hand his or her
cash contribution to the nearest mill,
elevator agent or bank, other thous.
ands of lives may be saved.
1t is believed IVA. Seven Million
Dollars worth of food for each of the
next several months will be required
to sustain the helpless victims of the
present war;
Give 7oday-Give Literally.
All contributions will be acknowl-
edged by the undersigned committee
and through the local newspapers.

girls OF Michigan:
Boys and girls, do YOU know that
the big war that is toing on in Eu-
rope offers you a splendid educational
opportunity? AS you read the papers
and magazines carefully you should
have good map Of Europe-yes and
one of the world-before you.
You may learn much about geog-
raphy by looking up every place men
toned and finding all that You can
about H.. You should try to study out
the geographical, racial, historical and
political causes Of the only general Eu-
ropean war since Napoleon Bonaparte
raised such a rumpus.
You will want TO read all you can
OF the history of Europe. You will
want to know about the Slavic Teu-
tonic, Latin and Anglo Saxon races.
You will want to know about the
people and institutions OF each nation
and its strength on land and sea.
Nov will be a good time to find out
about the trade route to India, Alsace
and Lorraine, neutrality, reservists,
contraband OF war, the rules govern
ing the capture OF ships at sea, block
ade, and other rules OF warfare. and
about many other subjects that are
mentioned In the papers.
You should be brought to see how
closely all parts Of the world are now
related and how the war affects the
United States and how it's influence
extends even to your town or city.
And you cannot fail To realize what
an awful thing is war and how waste
full and foolish Is such horrible con-

EAT SPARRoWs HE SAYS.
Audubon Society is Told They Are
Excellent Food

Under the stress OF the high cost
OF living. why not use the English

observation OF Joseph II. Dodson, OF
Chicago, in an address before the
Michigan Audubon society at it's meet
ing in Grand Rapids, Mr. Dodson ar
gued that the sparrow made a dish

that he know what he was talking
about because his wife knew just how
to prepare and serve the bird which
had given so much concern to observ-
ers of bird life.

ed in Grand Rapids. Under the di-
roction of Judge Harry L. Creswell,
