State Banks to Change

Four state banks have filed with
State Bank Examiner w. E. Hanson
notice of their intention to give uE
their state charters and take out ma.
tional charters. to come under the new
federal currency law.
However, the number Of state banks
will soon be increased rather than di-
minished, for eight or 10 new bank
ing institutions, in the process OF or
ganization, intend to apply for their
state charters soon after March l,
while state charters were granted to
two institutions this week. By organ
izing after March l the new banks will
escape taxes for year. The two
banks which organized this week are
the State bank OF Charleston and the
Port Angeles Trust and Savings bank.
These two institutions will have to pay
1914 taxes.
The four state banks which have
decided to take out national charters
are the Exchange bank of Reardon,
Farmers State bank OF Colfax and State
banks Of Lynden and Enumclaw.
Thus far no national bank in this
state has evidenced an intention to
give up its charter because of disincli-
nation to come under the currency act.

las pounds of butter manufactured in
the state. For the preceding II

Butter Manufacture Decreases

There was less butter manufactured
in Washington during 1913 than the
previous year, according to reports to
the state department Of agriculture,
although the dairy industry showed an
increase. DR.. H. T. Graves, head OF
the dairy and live stock division, at
tributes this fact to the increased de-
mand for raw milk caused by the
growth of the cities.

The first installment of large supply of

R. J. Henderson was slightly indisposed
last week, the usual open-winter cold was
the malady.
Several parties of visitors were guest of
Irvine factory officials the past week.
w. B. Elfstrom from the front office is
now applying his time, three days each
week, to reel test adjacent to the Irvine
office.
c. B. has been transferred from the farm
machinery department to. the position of
timekeeper in the Irvine Office, taking the
place made vacant by E. B. who resigned
to return to his home in the south.
]. N. S. Gu. S. is being taught the art
of twlne testing. At the present time he
is on the reel test.
The prize for the month of December
has beenawarded to system No. 3, w. T.
Alexander, foreman. Out of a possible
100 points Mr.. Alexander's department
scored IS, this being "a points higher
than his nearest competitor, system No. l,
c. T. Newman, of system No. ranked
third with foremen Ed Streble and
Frenchy of system No. 2, close at his
heels, but in the frouth place. The rivalry
of these monthly contests is bringing forth
the desired results. A large percentage of
the points are to be gained with quality,
therefore, it puts it fairly and squarely up
to the chefs of the different systems to ex-
ercise all their mental and physical ability
to make Saltwater Irvine famous; at the
same time it behooves them to produce
quantity up to their highest capacity and to
ever keep their eyes on the cost of labor.
Some changes have been made in the scor-
ing for January, and others will propbably
be made in the future, OF at least, until the
awarding is placed on an equitable basis.
The January race is now fully under way
with each system fighting manfully for an
advantage wherever it can be gained legiti-
mately.
1t is pleasing to note how heroically all
the men are working for their respective
systems. All pull together, boys, and you
will win sooner or later.
