A OF MRS. ELLIS

Mrs. w. w. Ellis of Luverne, Mimi,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. keck,
of north Brookings, passed AVA at
the Mary Thompson Hospital in Chi
cago on Monday, April 18th, at 2:20
p. m.
Mary Ann Keck was born at AIDE
bolt, Iowa, May 81, 1889. She grew to
womanhood at that place and was
united in marriage with William w.
Ellis at Loomis, S. D., IN December
%, 1908. They lived in Ida county,
Iowa, until 1911, when they moved to
Valley Springs, S. ID. In 1912 they
moved to Kenneth, Mimi, and in 1914
to Luverne, where they lived until her
death.
Mrs. Ellis was of a very sociable dis
position making friends wherever she
went and winning the love of all those
with whom she came in contact. Her
departure was a severe blow to those
who knew her. She became a Chris
tan while she was a child and was n
member of the NJ. f. church at
Luverne.
On March Goth a son was born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis and four days later
Mrs. Ellis contracted typhoid fever
and this disease, coupled with other
complications, caused her slow but
steady decline despite the best efforts
of medical science.
Four children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellis, two of whom died in in
fancy. Mrs. Ellis leaves. besides her
sorrowing husband, two children,
Dorothy Fern and Gordon Stetlcr, her
parents, three sisters, five brothers,
who are as follows: Mrs. Z. NJ. Keller
of Jackson, Mimi; Rev. S. W. Keck,
Chicago; Dallas Keck of Red Lake
Falls, Mimi; Lydia, Myrtle, Charles,
Marvin and Almer Keck of Bookings.
All were present at the funeral, the
brothers acting as pail bearers. Be-
| sides these she leaves a large number
of other relatives and friends. Those
present from a distance at the funeral
were: Mr.. and Mrs. H. Denman, Soc
City, Iowa; Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ellis,
Galva, Iowa; John and Miss Bertha
Ellis of Ida Grove, Iowa; Misses Bessie
and Ora Epperson of Adebolt, Iowa;
Mr.. and Mrs. David Shatto, Spencer,
Iowa; VIM Speaker, Arthur, Iowa;
Miss Marguerite Ryger, Bookings;
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Tredway Kenneth,
Mimi; and a number Of friends from
Valley Springs. The floral offerings
were many and beautiful and these
with the great kindness and sympathy
of friends is greatly appreciated by the
family.

GROWING

That this country is on a sound
financial footing and is growing
stronger is shown by the following
item from Bradstreet's:
While the customary tabulated sum
mary of returns by the national banks
under the call for their condition on
March 7, 19l has not yet been pub
lished, the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, Mr.. John Shelton Williams, has
issued a statement Analysing the show
ing in an interesting way. The total
resources of all national banks of the
United States on that date are stated
to have been $13, 1873, OOO, 900, an in
creas of s2,271, OOO, 900, or 20 per cent,
from the figures field in response to
the call of March 4, 1915. The total de-
posts on March 7 amounted to &c.,
100, 600 900, an increase of $411 ,000, 900
since December 81, 1915, and a gain of
$2,19S, 600 1000 as compared with the
call Of a year ago. The loans and dis
counts have, it appears, increased
1892, 000, 900 since December 81, 1915,
and 1890, 100000 as compared with
March 4, 1915. Holdings of specie on
March 7 were $19,O18, 900 larger than
on December 81, and show an increase
of $116, 928 900 owe the same item the
wear before Ii is cO~nSeryatiyely psti-
mated, adds the Comptroller, that the
surplus reserve now held by the ma
tional banks would be sufficient to give
a further l~oaning power of $4,000, 000,-
900 to $4,000, OOO, 900 should the growth
and development of business call for
so huge an enlargement of credit.
