Minneapolis Journal: Uncle Sam
is going to frown on the people who
have accounts in national banks and
who overdraw, and today the nation
al banks of Minneapolis and st. Paul
were notified hat there will be a
strict checking up hereafter. Over
drafts for small amounts, where the
drawers of the checks are known to
he responsible, do not always meet
refusal of payment. custom being
that where the total %overdrawn is
slight, the checks are paid and the
drawers Immediately notified to make
good. This is done on the theory
that the drawer of the checks has

check to the account of a depositor
when ii represents an overdraft, but
TO refuse payment thereof.

request, and it is fortunate in view
of the fact that since that time a sys-

best in the way OF street light
ing. The beauty of these improve

the earnings Of the plant, money fol-
