ments are being made to the Model

STATE BANK BEING ALTERED
Exterior and Interior Changes Will
Take Month and Cost $500
Big Improvement

Alterations and improvements to
cost in the neighborhood Of $4,000 are
being made on the First State Bank.
When they are completed at the end
of the month, the oldest bank in the
city will have entirely changed it's
physical identity and will be one of
the handsomest and most convenient
banking institutions in the Northwest.
While the remodelling is in progress
the business of the bank will be car
ried on in the rooms to the rear of the
old banking rooms with entrance on
Fourth street.
The alterations are made largely
to provide more working room. The
old rooms have been entirely out
grown. The plans call for both ex-
terror and interior changes. The ex-
terror will be altered by the cutting
in of the main door on the Main
street side. This door will be of plate
glass, copper bound, and with glass
panels on either side. The windows
on the Fourth street side will also
be made plate glass. The corner,
where the door has been, will remain
diagonal as at present and be closed
with plate glass. The entire exterior
will be newly stained.
On the interior entirely new fix
lures of 5-ply quarter sawed oak will
be installed and all banking wiekets
will face north instead Of south as in
the old arrangement. The cashiers
office will be at the front of the bank
ing house Immediately to the left as
the door is entered and looking out
of the diagonal window in the corner.
The work space will be to the rear
on the south side of the building.
The old vault in the center OF the
building on the north side will be torn
out, allowing of a commodious tile
floor lobby and customers room, dl-
rectors room and offices for bank Of
ficials. The entire interior will also
be redecorated.
The plans call for the replacing of
the present door on the new vault
with a new burglar proof 3500-pound
modern steel door, the only one OF its
kind in the city. The old door will be
placed at the entrance OF another
vault in the basement which will be
used as a store room. When the I'M
provements are made the present
crowded condition will be alleviated
and the entire institution look like a
new silver dollar.

prize pigs are expected to be shown.
Schools Interested.


A large number of agricultural high
school, rural school, consolidated
school, and county school exhibits are
being received at the Fair Grounds.
There is an unusual interest in this
part of the Fair, according to George
F. Howard, superintendent. These ex-
hibits will all be housed in the new
School Exhibits Building. Specialists
in charge of will explain the work Of
the schools represented.
The big roller coaster, which is over
half a mile long; Ye Olde Mile, a
magic water course; the big fireworks
spectacle in the evening, representing
the destruction of Pompeii; the three
big circus rings before the grandstand;
the auto races; the music of II bands
and orchestras; and the many other
features of interest to boys and girls
all are expected to- please very much.
Children Free Monday.
Children under fourteen years are
to be admitted free Monday, Sept. 4
which is Labor Day. 1t is hoped that
a new attendance record can be estab-
lished that day, breaking the former
record of 100000 made several years
ago.

plans of the building very carefully

at the practicability of the arrange

One of the leaders of the employees,
when asked this morning if they
would arbitrate, replied: "No sane
man would refuse to arbitrate, as a

During the past few months fifty-fve

~
State Inspection Department.
Jefferson City, Mo.-There has been
a tremendous slump In the manufac-
ture Of beer for sale in Missouri, ac-
cording to the reported collections by
the state beer inspection department.
The receipts for July show the loss
Of approximately 100000 barrels, and
receipts for the month Of August show
a loss Of 25,OOO barrels. The compari-
son Is made with corresponding months
last year.
The loss Of revenue to the state dur
Ing the two months this year Is about
$4,000. The collections for August
amounted to 81. 3 which was So
600 less than was collected August a
year ago, and July Of the present year
showed a loss Of $4,000 as compared
with July. 1914.
The state beer inspector assigns three
causes-growth Of prohibition territory,
unusually cool weather and scarcity OF
money on the part Of beer drinkers.
