BANKS GET BOOZE MONEY.
Deposits in pes Moines Grow Since Sa

Deposits in pes Moines Grow Since sa-
looms Closed.
Des Moines, Aug. An increase IN
deposits in>Des .Moines banks has been
recorded since the saloons closed. This
is acknowledged by most Of the bank
ers of the city.
Practically all of them agree that the
closing of the saloons has brought it
about, but all Of the bankers do not
agree how the increase resulted from
the grog shops closing
"Since the saloons have closed the
number Of pay checks cashed in banks
has increased almost 100 per cent II
our experience is criterion" said
Grant McPherrin of the Central State
Bank. 1--WE have on hand about $780,
900 more in deposits than we had be-
fore the saloons closed.
How much of this increase is due
to the fact that the men do not spend
their money for liquor but bank 1t in
stead, or to the fact that when they
cash their checks they are in bank
instead Of q saloon, am not prepared
to say. The psychological moment for
an ordinary man to put money in the
bank is at the time he gets his salary
check cashed.
"The fact stands. however, that the
deposits have increased since the sa-
looms were driven out. How that in
crease was caused really doesn't mat
fer"

ManaIed in Auto Accident.

Fort Dodge, Aug. Adjective auto
lights caused an accident in which
Mike Rodenborn was horribly injured
He was hurrying from Fort Dodge to
Livermore in his car The lights gave
out while he was still in the country
and he progressed as best he could
without them. In trying to avoid a
buggy the auto overturned, Rodenborn
was thrown out and caught under one
of the rear wheels. His chest was
torn and crushed so that the right ribs
were exposed.
A doctor was summoned from Fort
Dodge and found it necessary to re.
move one rib and many ~splintered
pieces Of bone. Rodenborn's recovery
is doubtful. His companion and the
occupants of the buggy escaped with
out injury.

Newton, Aug. 4.-United States Ma
turalizatfon Examiner a. H. Bode, Of
Des Moines. was in Newton yesterday
examining the naturalization records
in the office Of the clerk of the district
court. He states that foreigners in
Jasper county are negligent in court
and that a large number have taken
the initial step toward securing natur-
alization, by declaring their intention
to become citizens, but have never
completed their citizenship status.
These unnaturalized people are not
permitted to have vote in the affairs
Of this country and cannot claim the
protection of the stars and stripes in
foreign countries. even If they have de-
clared their intention to become citi-
zens of the United States. No citi-
zenship rights attach to declarations
of intentions or first papers.
The records show also that a large
number of the allies are permitting
their declarations Of intention to ex-
pire. Under the present naturaliza-

and that the majority of the holders Of
these declarations have failed to avail
themselves of the great privilege of

can be naturalized they must make

The records further show that some

that they must file these applications
