Special to Times Republican.
De,s Mones, Sept. 1O.--Savings banks
operating in Iowa and trust companies
may not invest any part of their capital
or surplus, as such, in bank building
or in furniture and fixtures therefor.
This is the ruling OF j. w. Sandusky,
assistant attorney general given to
Superintendent g.. II. Messenger. OF
the state banking department. 1t is the
first time this question has been official
ly passed upon. Superintendent Mes
senger, who asked for an opinion on
this matter, expects to see to 1t that the
law in this respect is fully complied
with. This section Of the law however
docs not apply to state banks.
Assistant Attorney General Sandusky
declares that by the express provision
of the code section 1851, savings banks
are authorized to purchase, hold and
convey real estate only as follows:
''The lot and building In which itt;
business is carried on" AS to the par
ticular fund with which such purchase
may be made however the statute is
silent.
"No such provision is made as to
state banks" continues Attorney San
dusley. cor loan and trust companies,
not have been able to find any ex-
press authority for any Of these insti-
tutions to purchase or hold furniture
and fixtures suitable and necessary for
conducting their business.
"Section 1s4S, supplement 1913. per-
tanning to savings banks is as follows.
potts GU Aorney Sandusky:
"Any savings bank ORGANIZED under
this chapter may receive on deposit
money equal to twenty times the ag-
sregate amount Of it's paid up capital
and surplus and no greater amount OF
deposits shall be received without cor
responding increase Of the Aggregate
paid-up capital and surplus which cap
ital and surplus shall be a, guarantee
fund for the better security LOT deposit
ors and invested in safe and available
securities
Attorney Sandueky explains that
Unavailable securities should be con-
strued to mean securities that are
disable and can readily be converted
into money.
IT am aware that when this con-
struction Is placed upon this particular
section. Of the banking law, unless au-
thority Is elsewhere given savings
banks to acquire buildings, as well as
suitable furniture and fixtures for
conducting their business he continues
that they would, In most instances he
required to rent and could only build
or purchase with undivided profits or
such funds as they might have out
side Of or over and above their capital
and surplus. But nevertheless am
constrained to believe that 1t will not
admit Of any other construction and I
am therefore Of the opinion that saw
inss banks may not invest any part of
their capital or surplus. as such, in a
bank building or in furniture or FIX
lures therefor"

lister Must Leave Svea City.
Svea City, Sept. 10,--F'or some time
lit has been known that Rev. j. w.
Swanbeck, pastor Of the Swedish
Lutheran churches of Svea City and
Svea township had been expressing
himself as very much In favor Of Kai.
ser Wilhelm and his government
Frank Sayers heard him make the
statement that II the United States
sent five million men to France Ger
many would whip them as fast as they
got there" and that this ountry's poll
,clcy is virtually dictated by England"
This expression did not set well. Not
only the statement, but the manner In
which it was made did not sound well
coming from supposedly American
citizen.
Mr.. Savers informed number Of the
boys what he had heard Swanbeck say
In less than ten minutes committee
Of twenty five or thirty men waited on
Swanbeck and demanded that he salute
the American flag and do 1t quickly
He was given to understand In way
that he will remember for some time
that pro-German expression would noS
be tolerated any longer. He complied
by taking off his hat and saluting the
flag and kissing It.. This done. they
told him to get out of town and keep
out.
Swanbeck's son Rudolph Is in the
United States navy. Both of his con-
|gregatfons have no more use for him
as a pastor.

HARDING DISCUSSES PATRIOTISM
County and City Officials Hold Con-
ference on Loyalty.

Special to- Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 10.-That county
sheriffs, members Of boards of super
visors, mayors of cities and other OF
ficers are not only loyal but jealous Tor
their country and anxious to do all
possible to help win. the war was evil
dent in the large number Of county
officials in attendance on the meeting
called at the state house by Governor
Harding today. County Officers were
present from all parts Of the state,
In his address to the public officials
Governor Harding urged those charged
with the authority OF enforcing the
laws not only to be active against all
|unpatriotic acts and utterances but al
so to create loyalty to our own coun-
try and encourage patriotic organiza-
tons. He also said that while he was
not ready to say that German should
not be taught in the public schools
he did believe that all peoples living
here should learn the English language
and should cease to talk in their for
eign tongue.
"As nation we are now nearly a
century and a half old" said the gov
ernor. "We have developed language
lit can well be called the American
language. In every community there
should be strong sentiment created
for the use of the American language
in school, in pulpit and in press.
I'm the years gone by German has
been one of the languages taught in
our schools. am not going to say
that it should not be taught but am
going to say that If taught at all il
should be taught as study in Ian
guage and not to teach the virtues OF
a people or as an advertisement fol-
the country. To put it in another way
the text should not be for the purpose
Of extolling the virtues and attain
ments of the people Of that particular
country.
"1ahe time has come in the develop
ment Of our country when we should
strike boldly for the American Ian
gtage, should encourage it's use and
those who, have been using the Ian
guage OF the country with which we
are now engaged in war should be will
ing to make some sacrifice along this
line in order to show thoir loyalty to
their adopted country. True, at the
present time, we have not the author
ity by statute to force the use of the
American language in all the places
mentioned but if there is the proper
organization the moral sentiment OF
the community will demand the use
Of our language. I therefore urge upon
YOU when you go back home to use
your influence and your power to Gre
ate this sentiment"

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Sept, 10.-Reports are
being industriously circulated. evident
ly by enemies Of the government, that
the supplies now being made, to be
distributed by the American Red Gross
in Europe, are sold to the soldiers.
Several inquiries have reached State
Red Cross Director A. e. Kepford In
the last few days. asking whether the
soldiers are required to buy these sup
plies from the American Red Cross.
The following statement, ISSUED today
by DR.. Kepford, makes emphatic denial.
Reports have been reaching this Of
flee that soldier boys will be required
to buy the supplies which are now be-
ing made and so generously donated
by the citizens of this country, for the
use Of the American Red Cross in
Europe.
These rumors arc extensively being
sent forth, undoubtedly by the enemies
Of the government, for the purpose Of
-hindering the production of supplies
Intended for the use of the American
Red Cross. Traitors will continue , to
circulate Infamous reports. Red Cross
societies everywhere throughout the
state should pay no attention to these
rumors, but should speed up the work
of productions, especially the making of
sweaters, mufflers, wristlets and socks
and surgical and hospital supplies. The
winter Is coming on, and the boys in
the trenches will need the sweaters and
other warm garments, while in the hos
pitfalls consumable supplies will be in
demand in great abundance.
Major Grayson NJ. P. Murphy, head
of the Red Cross relief work in France.
has made requisition for 100000
each Of sweaters. mufflers, wristlets
and pairs Of socks. These are being
forwarded to Major Murphy as rapid
ly as they can be manufactured. They
are for use along the war fronts, and
will be distributed free to the Boys in
the trenches.
RED Cross patriots everywhere
throughout the state are requested to
familiarize themselves with the work
Of the Red Cross, and be ready at a
moments notice In any neighborhood
to suppress the influence of any trait
ors circulating defamatory reports"

by October 15-Thrsshins Of Small
Grains Practically Completed in All
? Sections and Yields Are Abundant.

Dubuque Sept. 10.-The crops on the
northern division of the illinois Central
show better average condition now
than they did at this time last year.
The cool nights prevalent during the
past week have caused light traces of
frost TO present themselves 1t has not
proved real detrimental to the crops.
Threshing Of small grain is practically
completed and there is an especially
heavy. yield of oats. barley and rye.
says the report, which follows:
Cool weather has prevailed during
the past week in this territory and
weather reports show daily detici-
ency Of about three degrees The nights
especially, have been very cool and
a light trace Of frost was experienced
on low ground in the northern counties
bordering on the Minnesota division.
Beneficial Rains.
There was a lack Of rainfall until
Sept. 3 and 4. when moderate to heavy
showers occurred in practically all sec
lions. These were especially bene-
fetal to late potatoes and pastures and
in softening the ground for fall plow-
ing. preparatory to greatly increased
acreage of winter wheat and rye. This
rain, however, was detrimental to corn,
which needs dry. warm, sunshinv
weather to mature the crop before the
average date of first killing frost.
state reports for Sept. show that
with normal weather there will be
about 81 per cent of the corn crop safe
from frost on Sept. 20, 50 per cent on
Sept. 80 and 81 per cent on Oct. II
and at least 5 per cent OF the crop
will not be mature on Oct. 81.
Corn Crop Is Late.
1.-THE average condition Of corn, as
compared with the average of past
years on Sept. was "a per cent, pas
lures 80, potatoes 90 and flax "a. On
Sept. /, 1916. conditions were as fol-
lows: Corn SO per cent, pastures ~,
potatoes So and flax sS. Low condition
of corn last year was due to droughty
conditions. while this year conditions
would be excellent if it were not for
the fact that the crop is so late.
1--WE have reports from various local
tiles that corn Is beginning to dent and
harden.
Threshing Of small grain is practi-
cally all completed and there is an es-
pecially heavy yield of oats, barley, rye
and wheat. Oats from this territory
is moving quite freely. We are also
furnishing approximately six cars per
day for onion loading from the vicinity
Of st. Ansgar, Iowa, on the Albert Lea

There Is no date set for a second call

The provost marshal general further
says there has been an erroneous
statement Of marine recruiting SER
vice regarding enlistment of drafted
men. On this matter General Crowder
says:
THE marine corps recruiting SER
vice has published statement to the
effect that registrants called by To-
cal board may enlist in the marine
corps with the written consent Of the
local board. This statement Is in error.
After being called by local board
no registrant is eligible for voluntary
enlistment II any branch Of the gov

Provision has been made. General
CCrrowder announces, for hospital in

fourth, third or second year to enlist
in what is known as the enlisted re-
serve corps Such internes or medical
students who have been called and ac-
cepted by local boards for service in
the national army but who have not
yet been ordered for military duty may
enlist in the enlisted reserve corps OF
the medical Department. All such stu
dents or internes who have not been
called but who are subject to call for
service in the national army may enlist
in this reserve corps. 1t is specifically
stated that this applies to medical
students or internes only and does not
apply to dental or veterinary students
or to students in other technical
schools.
The provost marshal generals de-
partment reports that 1t is receiving
many requests to go thru the lists of

cate missing persons, The registra-
ton lists comprise 100000 names
