NATIONAL DIRECTORS
TO HOLD MONTHLY MEETINGS

Acting under instructions from the
Comptroller of the Currency, requir-
ing all national banks to hold month
ly directors meetings. the directors of
the First National bank are in session
today. President Wingfeld and Vice
President Lee, Cashier Sheehan and
Director William Stock are in attend
ance.
BY consulting the statement of the
First National, printed in this issue
of The Silver State. and comparing it
with the statement of March 5, it will
be found that the deposits today are
practically the same as at the time
of the last statement. This is an I'M
usual condition, considering the fact
that stockmen have been carried
through a long and severe winter, and
is accounted for in part by the fact
that a large percentage of the sea
sons wool clip has been bought and
paid for.

coMMENDs MAYORS STAND
 AGAINST LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Former Resident Writes Norwieh's
 Chief Executive From Canada.

Jack Bresnahan of Blackie, Alberta, Canada, formerly resident Of Nor wich, has written the following letter to Mayor Allyn l.. Brown, commend ing his stand taken against liquor traffic in this city. The letter follows:
 Dear Sir and Brother: l say brother because anyone is my brother from the Rose of New England. As I al- ways have been opposed to booze and to the present day have my first drink to take. I am glad to see by weekly paper that you and your faithful there is no booze sold on Sunday. sincerely hope that you and I will live to see the day when they can't sell it any day and old Connecticut will be one of the finest states in the Union. They took a vote on wet and dry here over a year ago and she went dry and now the three prairie prov inces are dry.
 MT. Brown, I was born fin Norwich and spent my best days there and al- ways have I thought for her welfare. And I would like to ask you why Nor wich couldn't have a good public mar ket owned by the city as a couple of square and one somewhere around the junction of Church, Washington and Water streets would pay. Mir. Brown, they are surely a good thing for both farmer and consumer.
 They have booths here and they are rented to any one who wants them. Then they have two days 8 week called market days, usually on farmers bring in their stuff and hire stand for 25 cents for that day and sell to the public direct. They fought it in the city of Calgary to a stand still, but it's one of the best things in the city today. You think it over and if you wish any more information I'll put you in touch with the manager at Calgary.
 There is another thing that hurts me and that is to think that there are so many we'll educated girls in Nor wich that even after they spend four somewhere for a few dollars week when dozens of them could come out here and take a course in normal work and every one of them could get them at a minimum wage of $750 for 2I0 days teaching. This is the salary paid in the country schools that any girl who has graduated from Broad way could fill as far as education is concerned.
 for a few years now. Last fall har- vest hands were getting from $4 to S5 per day and we couldn't get them at that, but of course. that was due to the war. But the harvest hands for the last three years have been board Well, MT. Brown, I hope you will tell me what you think of the public market any way and if there is anything you or any one else wishes to know, that's what am here for.
 Remember me to Honorable Wil- liam Doty and George Linton.
 P. S.-We have had it from 20 to 45 degrees below zero here for the last 10 days.
