marck had it's entire contract for heat

essential in an institution where lives
may hang in the balance through

it is on this general contracting that
Grambs & Peet are openly desirous
of making figures, and urge everyone
who is contemplating anything in the
way of installations to communicate
with them and secure their figures.
Their record is an enviable one and
one that justifes the placing of con-
fdence in the work and method of
operation, and as everyone knows,
the best is none too good where the

THE FIRST NATIONAL
BANK.

1t was in 1879 that this bank. the
second oldest i'll the state was first
established. That it is a mighty good
sized bank, and a remarkably pros
porous one can be told by taking
peep at the statement published May
|, 1915. Here we have loans and dis
counts footing up to $1,149 52O.94,
which is highly indicative of the loan
ing end of the business The bank is
capitalized for 100000 with surplus
and undivided profits of $120668.08.
The individual deposits, by which
most everyone forms some idea as
to banks stability, and popular good
will with the general run of the peo-
pie, points to $1,406, ,2S3.19, which is
some figure, when we take it in words
of one million, four hundred and six
thousand, two hundred and eighty
three dollars, not to speak of the
nineteen cents tackled on for good
measure. And this million in de-
posits is also indicative of the in
crement earned and put away by the
inhabitants of this section of the
country. The First National is nat
urally United States depository. The
officers of the bank are: C. B. Lit
tie, president; ]. L. Bell, vice presi-
dent; Frank E. Shepard, cashier; A. J.
Arnot, assistant cashier. Directors:
c. A. Burton, O. N. Dunham, Joseph
Hare, J. L. Bell, and C. B. Little.
The total volume of business as given
by statement mounts up to a total
of $1,726,95127.

1881 the present firm started in with

business was added. And now Mr..
Will is building a fine greenhouse
with the latest improvements. At
the present time all northern grown
seeds are handled, that is, those suit
able for this country of the north
west The Will people have always
been right in the vanguard of those
endeavoring to introduce corn ac-
climated to the northwest and they
have not only taken the lead in this,
but the consequent praise for their
work has richly repaid them. The
seedhouse has twenty-four feet of
floor space with a large warehouse
supplementary. Practically all the
shrubs and trees put out are raised
right here in this nursery. There are

THE WAR sToppERs.

That Americans depl0re the war in
Europe goes without saying. Their
feeling on the subject does them cred
it. since. as need hardly be- said. it
arises not at all from selfish consid-
Grafton of any intoward effect the war
may have. on American interests, but
entirely from "a Shun,anitariaD wish
that the afflicted peoples of the war
ring continent may be spared further
extremes OF woe.
Yet is there In the circumstances
any reason why we OF Americn should
talk of urging our government to un-
dertake something toward stopping
tho, ,war--why we should make restOra-
tion OF EurOpG's peace the subject OF
petitions, resolutions, nassmeetings,
conventions. memorials and other such
expressions as Americans delight in?
Whether anything the United States
could do would have the i effect OF
bringing the war to an earlier close
may be open to debate. hut there can
be no question OF the utter f,itilitM
in that respect OF anything Americans
can say. II American opinion had in
fuence. there would have been no war.
Since wars are; much more easily
avoided than ended, American senti.
ment in the premises is, much more
helpless now than it wasflast summer.
Americans whotalk grandiloquently
about bringing influence to bear to
stop the war are wasting their breath.

The Treasury Deficit.

1t is admitted by TIE treasury de-
partment that the deficit in the public
revenues so far in the fiscal year
amounts to $l05.000 900, a stupendous
sum never equaled in time of peace
except under the last democratic ad-
ministratiOn, when most persons sup
posed we had learned so thorough a
lesson that it would be at least fifty
years before we would speak of any
other democratic administration as the
last. The falling off of imports be-
cause of the war is given as the eX-
cuse. regardless OF the fact that the
customs duties have been REINFORCED
with heavy income and burdensome
war taxes, and that the decrease in
import duties began long before the
war commenced. The facts are, it is
only the falling of In imports that
has saved the country from bank
