FEDERAL RESERVE BANK SYS-

Washington. Nov. 16.-Secretary

increase in such products in the last
decade has been enormous. According
to the United States department of ag-
riculture the value Of farm products,
including livestock and dairy pro-
ducts, in Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Montana in 1900 was 1920, ,000, 900 and
in 1910 it was $700,O0O,0O0. Much of
this increase was due to the price, it
is true, for every commodity was low
in 1900 and high in 1910, and, also,
crops were short in 1910. Therefore
to compare those two years is hardly
deposits, which after all more ac-
curalty reflect prosperity than do farm
products.
In 1908 deposits of the PIG banks
in Minnesota amounted to $59, 1000;
in South Dakota the deposits of the
100 banks were $9,713,O0O; of the Ill
banks lin North Dakota, $9,1O9,OOO, a
total for the three states of $780,
900.
In 1913 the deposits of the then L.
O46 banks of Minnesota were $780,
O13,OOO; deposits of the 625 banks in
South Dakota were $9O,535, 900 and of
the 751 banks in North Dakota, $780,
$4,000, total of $559,869,000.
Nothing could better illustrate the
phenomenal development that has
been going on in what is now Federal
Reserve district No. g. Furthermore,
this vast progressive movement is still
under way and the records of the next
ten years cannot fail to show re-
markable increase in wealth in these
states.
At the present time the capital Of
national and state banks of Minnesota
is approximately $45, 500, 900 and the
surplus S30,5o0,000. North Dakota
banks have capital Of $14,000,000 and
surplus of $6,50O,0OO. South Dakota,
capital s13,OOO,OOO and surplus s5,-
100000. Montana, capital $14,O00,-
900 and surplus S7,500,00O. Total de-
posits of the banks in the four states,
approximately s75O,O0O,O00.

RECITAL

RECITAL
On Monday evening, November %,
a recital will be given at the Con ore
eational church by Miss Edith Well
ing, Pianist and Mr.. Ralph Wel]ino,
Violinist, assisted by Miss Bessie r.
Baldwin, Contralto. Music lovers of
Williston have been waiting with in
terests for this concert as it is one
of the most important events in the
course of entertainments for the sea-
son.
Miss Edith Wellino has but recent
ly returned from Munich. Germany,
where she has taken coaching under
the we'll known virtuoso and teacher,
Josef Levine. Miss Yelling, prior
TO this, received her first instruction
in Dayton. Ohio, under Theadore
Blumenschein, musician and teacher
widely known in the best music cir
cles. On leaving Professor Blumen-
schein she continued her studies thru
college under Professor Jakobus at
the Ohio Weslyn University. After
another three years study Miss Well
ing graduated from the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music under the
tutolage of Professor Theadore BOIL
mann. After series of concerts and
recitals Miss yelling went to Butte
Montana to teach. Her recent re-
turn to study under LEVINE in
Munich has broadened her knowledge
and taste in music. and she plays with
a seeming forgetfulness of technical
difficulties and with the feeling of a
finished musician.
Mr.. yelling also received his first
instruction in Dayton under Miss
Susan Chamberlain. Gaining his foun-
dation in music there, he was FORUM
ate enough to receive four years un-
der Ewald Sontum. widely known and
recognized in Paris and Berlin. Pro-
fessor Sontum was at that time suf-
fering from paralysis of the left arm
from over practice. and in search of
rest and change in this country. Mr..
yelling then went to Max Fischel in
Chicago, for three years study and it
was here that he received his most
beneficial instruction on the violin. A
seasons engagement with the Lyceum
work of the Redpath Bureau has given
him a knowledge of program ar
rangement for all occasions and wide
understanding of pleasing the pub
lie and the music lover as we'll.
Miss Baldwin is widely known in
Williston through her music, possess
ing a rich contralto voice of most
pleasing quality. Two groups of Sc
lections wills be riven by Miss Bald
win, one ACCOMPANIED by violin OBJ
ligato by Mr.. yelling.
