NEED IOWA MONEY
Iowa Banks will Not Assist In
Making European Loan.
MONEY USED TO MOVE CROPS
Invitation Of Eastern Bankers To Con-
tribute to War Loan To Be Turned
Down-Has Ample Cash to
Finance Crop Movement.

Des Moines.-Iowa banks will need
their money to move the fall crops and
but few of them will respond to an
invitation from the east to assist in
making the big loan to the entente
allies, according to A. o. Wolever,
head of the state banking department.
In the opinion of the Iowa banking
department, the eastern banks are
strong enough to make the loan of a
half billion dollars to the European
countries, without asking the western
banks to assist.
Iowa will need the money 1t has
to handle the crops this fall" said Mr..
Wolever. 81 think that but few of our
institutions will be inclined to let any
Of their money go east for the Europ-
can loan This state will have ample
cash to move the crops, II nothing
happens to change the situation.
"The banks under state control now
have s325,000,000 on deposit. This
does not include the national banks,
nor the private banks.
The state banking department has
recently issued three new charters as
follows: The Lytton Savings bank of
Lytton, capital $4,000; The Farmers
Trust and Savings bank of Charles
City with capital of $4,000, and the
Mount Ayr State bank of Mount Ayr,
with capital of 100000.

WOODEN MILLS ARE CLOSED
Mills at Dale Unable to obtain Supply
Of Dyes-6een Running continu-
ousIy for Fifty-six Years.

Des Moines.-The Dale Wooden mills
which for more than fifty-six years
have been turning out high class blan-
kets and other woolens at the little
inland village Of Dale, are to be shut
down. Inability to obtain dyes from
Germany used in the manufacture Of
the woolens is the cause. The mill Is
located on the Raccoon river, water
power having been originally used to
operate 1t.
The mills were established by the
Lonsdale family and they have con-
tinued to operate them for more than
half century. The Lonsdale Blan-
ket gained an enviable reputation in
central Iowa and many housewives in
this part of the state for years would
use no other make. From eight to
twenty people were employed by the
mills, the help being secured from the
towns and country in that vicinity.
