BANK WEALTH GROWS
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS MAKE
VERY FINE SHOWING.
and Second in Bank Deposits
Per Capita.

Nothing will show the prosperity OF
q commonwealth better than the con.
dition of it's financial institutions. The
banks of North Dakota easily keep
pace with it's agricultural growth, and
viewed from a strictly financial stand
point the state shows marked evi.
dences of prosperity.
The state has 642 state and 1853 ma
tional banks, a total of 795 institu.
lions. This includes four trust com.
panies. The deposits in these institu.
lions total $92, 625,559. Their total
capital stock is $14,7 91,0 900 and their
surplus and undivided profits $780,
472. There is a bank for practically
every 800 Inhabitants. This is a record
probably not exceeded by any other
state in the Union. North Dakota
ranks first of all the states in wealth
per capita, S2,993, and second in bank
deposits per capita.
A comparison with former years will
show the remarkable and substantial
growth Of the states financial institu.
lions, and the increasing prosperity
and wealth of the people of North Da-
kota.
Growth Of State Banks.
State Bank Examiner Johnson sub
mits the following excellent report
upon the wonderful growth Of state
banks under the jurisdiction of that
department since 1905:
At the close Of business on August
25, 1905, there were 269 state banks
and no trust companies reporting,
%transacting an aggregate business OF
$1S,48S, 93O.S9. On September 2, 1915,
there we're 65S state banks and four
trust companies in North Dakota witt!
total footings Of $72,175,495.13. Since
August Is, 1905, deposits have in.
creased $42,923,016.67. Loans for this
period show a gain of s43,131,258.36
with a gain in banking capital of $751;
944,650, and in surplus and undivided
profits of $1,S9S, 7O6.21.
The increase in deposits for the
period from August Is, 1905, to Sep
TENDER 2, 1915, is divided as follows:

MANUFACTURES SHOW WELL
Are Substantial, but. Others Of certaik
Kinds Can Be Added to Good
Advantage.

North Dakota, the most purely agri.
oughly agricultural that it will lev
take a place among the great manufac-
turing states Of the country. It's des-
TIMES do not lie in that direction.
But the state is not entirely without
its manufacturing industries, small
though they may be in comparison
with the agricultural resources. Over
$780, 900, 900 worth Of manufactured
products annually are produced in the
state, the chief industries being flour
and grist mills, brick and tile plants,
butter and cheese factories, printing
establishments and the construction
and repair shops maintained by the
railroads at different points in the
state.
While the opportunities do not exist
for the state to become a great manu-
featuring commonwealth, there is
ample reason why its industrial &C.
tivities should increase. The law Of
economics teaches that a people should
produce, as near as possible, enough
to supply their own needs. North Da-
kota already does this many times
over. Large quantities Of necessities
are produced in the raw and this ma
terial shipped away, part of it return
ing to the state in the shape Of fin.
ished products to supply the demands
Of the people.
There is no good reason why live
stock should be shipped on the hoof
to the large slaughtering centers only
to be returned in the shape Of food
for the table. North Dakota should
have her own packing houses, capable
at least Of supplying the people Of the
state with meat.
There Is no good reason why the
larger portion of the milk and cream
produced in the state should be
shipped beyond its borders only to be
returned as butter and cheese for the
consumption of North Dakotans. They
should be able to manufacture enough
for their own needs right at home,
leaving the great surplus to find out.
side markets.
Wool raised OF the backs Of North
Dakota sheep should not all be sent
to eastern mills. At least enough
should be retained at home and there
made into cloth and yarns in sum-
cient quantities to clothe North d.
kota people.
It Is along these lines that North
Dakota manufacturing will most likely
find its development rather than in an
attempt to establish large industries
to supply a worldwide demand.
The establishment Of such indus
tries as those enumerated would give
a more constant employment to labor.
North Dakota's demands for labor are
enormous during the farming season,
but with an outlet In the way of a rsa-
sonable number Of manufactures,
whose activities would be greatest
when the work on the farm would be
at the lowest ebb, there would be a
more equitable distribution of employ
ment through all the months Of the
year.

FL Paso. Texas, Oct. 12.-Andreas
Garcia. the Carranza Consul here, de-
clared today he had adyices OF whole
sale desertions OF the Villa army mo-
bilizing at Casas Grandes One general,
he said. had left there with 500 men
during the last week, to march to the
! nearest CarraDza outpost, and another
general. backed by 1000 men, was on
the point of revolving.
These statements were secuted by
Villa Representatives in Juarez Other
reports from the Carranza consulate
stated that an engagement had been
fought Sunday at Villa Ahumada, forty
miles below Juarez, by General Brace
monte. commanding Villa forces, and
an enemy presumed to be a Carranza
force. This was also denied by Villa
officials who declared Bracemonte was
inCasas Grandes.
A report that the force commanded
by General Luis Hernandez was en-
gaging the Villa force near Parral was
also denied by the Villa authorities.
Colonel Hipolito Villa, financial
agent Of the Villa government at
Juarez, and brother OF General Villa,
issued an official denial OF recent dis
patches from here that General Villa,
because of the recognition of the Car
rama government, felt himself abb
solved from all responsibility for the
lives and property OF foreigners in
this territory.
General Villa said just before he
left here" said Col. Villa, that Ameri-
cans and all foreigners in his territory
would continue to receive all the pro-
lection and facilities in his power to
give them as before. My brother con-
tinues to feel himself obligated TO pro-
tect and help people in his territory
Advices outside of Carranza sources
state there are 1000 Villa soldiers at
Villa Ahumada, commanded by Gen
eral Rudolfo Fierro. Advices to the
Carranza consulate indicate revolt OF
some of these troops.
Official relations today between the
United States and Juarez, the Villa
controlled town across the border,
were unchanged by the recognition OF
Carranza. At the international bridge
only the usual guard was stationed,
Juarez itself was tranquil. Stores were
opened and Americans and foreigners
mingled with MeXicans
General Emilano Madero stated to-
day that neither he nor General Ma
dero would follow Villa in a guerilla
warfare.

HARM DONE BY IMPURE AIR
Frequenters of Public Places Most in- iured by Disregard of Adequate
 Ventilation.

A health bulletin published in Chi cago has the following to say regard ing imperfect ventilation in public places:
 Deaths from the impure air dis ases-tuberculosis. pneumonia bron- chitis and la grippe-constitute one third of the total deaths of the last five months, exceeding by 4.So9 deaths the record of the next most important cause ot death-diarrhea diseases, SIP
 These deaths are the dire results chiefly of dirty breathing habits; they are results which stamp our present day sanitary intelligence as little short of barharic
 Probably our closed vehicles of transportation are the one thing most in need of attention; especially is this true in large cities where people are crowded into street cars to the point Of suffocation during rush hours all breathing and rebreathing air exhaied by others. some coughing and sneez' ing in their neighbovs' faces
