BANKING POWER
OF STATE GROWS
Resources Increase $82,000,-
096.80 During Year.
TOTAL IS S552, 177,175.61
Phenomenal Growth of Deposits Cited
ny Commissioner of Banking as
Evidence of Prosperous
Conditions.

Madlson.-The total banking power
of the state has increased $4,000
096S0 in year. according to the TWEEN
ty-second annual report Of the state
commissioner Of banking. The report
shows that the banking power Of the
state, including state and mutual ban ks
and trust companies and nduOI Il
banks reached the stupendous t1tM OF
$552, III 1861 at the close of business
November II, 1916
"a very satisfactory condition of
Wisconsin banks is shown" Commits
sioner A. H. K0uts report says. 1.-The
phenomenal increase in deposits dur
ing the year just closed, amounting to
$43,424 ,626.33 and the decrease in re-
discounts and bills payable of $685.
1882 is evidence Of the prosperous
conditions existing throughout the
state. A general policy of conservation
is indicated by the increase from u
per cent to DIT per cent in the average
reserve held by state banks"
Thirty-two new banks and one trust
company were formed In the year. one
trust company voluntarily liquidated
and paid off It's depositors.
"Ihe Unprecedented increase in de-
posts" the commissioner said, LEADS
me TO emphasize that an increase in
capital should be required pro rata
with the increase in deposits.
Certain conditions have arisen from
the operation of the banking law which
demonstrates the necessity of further
legislative action for the purpose Of
Strengthening our banking statutes.
1.-THE section which permits a bank
to loan person, partnership or
corporation an amount equal to 30 per
cent of It's capital ana surplus, and
which 10y authorization of The board of
directors, may be increased to 80 per
cent, Is source of grave apprehension
to this department, as we lind that "a
number OF banks, by reason Of an ex-
ceptional local demand. avail them
selves of the full scope Of the law.
which cndangers, to IA great extent, the
solvency Of these Institutions"

Don't you see?" he cried Its mu-
hear those, but only the vibrations.
That's their language. And MscBeard
learned somewhere that they wouldn't
hurt him if he brought-do you know
what he brought? Do you know what
it was that he struck ?"
"a tuning fork !" shouted Davies.
With their arms linked, they ran
into the throng OF scurrying monsters.
Ida between Donald and Davies. and
Clouts In the van. blowing his mouth
organ like mailman. The monsters
hurried before them In evident panic.
The contact with the slippery bodies
no longer produced residence. The
elusive phosphorescent CLEANS shot
here and there like will-o'- the-wfsps.
MacBeard was nowhere to be seen
At the caves entrance Sam Ciouts
paused and turned to Donald.
Il wish I'd brought my bass con
certina aboard. sir" he said.
Never mind; you're doing very
well indeed. Clouts." answered Donald.
"Play. man! Play"
The lights. which had remained sta
tiOnary during the moments fnterlude,
grew DINNER again as Clouts struck
out with his lips the tune of Cock o.
the North"
''The Submarine!" gasped Donald
pointing before him as he ran.
But, even as he neared 1t, 1t began
to grow dim. Not more than a hun
dred PAGES away, the vessel sank into
obscurity as they raced toward it. II
seemed gradually to be blotted out be
fore their eyes
And slowly, almost imperceptibly.
the cloudy curtain began to descend
and to dissolve.
Donald gasped for air. He heard
Clouts coughing, and saw the MILDLY
stagger as he ran. Ida fell back into
his arms. The submarine was still
fifty PAGES away. and she was nothing
more than cloudy image upon the
night.
On they ran, cropping through the
complete blackness. The air was like
wine jelly. Donald had almost ceased
to breathe. He ran with his lungs full
Of little reservoir OF air, which be
exhaled slowly.
He could see neither Clouts nor Ds-
vies, but he believed that they were
struggling toward the submarine.
And he found 1t. and them. almost
by miracle. He had the good fortune
to blunder into them as they tugged at
the outer door Of the airIock.
Somehow they opened it, They got
Ida inside and followed The outer
door was closed. Clouts, reeling for
ward, opened the inner one, and the
stale, WORKOUT air within the coming
tower seemed like ozone.

MacBeard stepped out of range has
ttly. He disliked violence, partly as
an attempted violation Of the principle
Of the conservation Of energy, but
principally because he was a coward.
"It is all our lives for the missing
part of the manuscript, or none," said
Donald
MacBeard rubbed his hands to-
gether. In that Internal light he
seemed hardly less monstrous than the
creatures about him.
"You will think differently In a few
moments" he answered. And taking
the implement that he had used be-
fore, into his hands, he struck another
note.
Instantly the resilient wall closed In
about them, and, with the same slow
steady pressure, they were urged for
ward Clouts In the lead. The note
sounded again; they stopped. Clouts
was now Immediately in front Of the
sacrificial knife of bone. And. very
slowly, he began to lean forward.
At any other time he would have
presented an appearance distinctly lu-
dtcrous. He seemed to be waddling
slowly, and with great dignity, toward
the razor-edged weapon. He stood
stock still, planted his legs hard IN
the ooze, and began to bend forward
as If he were about to undertake some
calisthenic exercise.
Donald understood what was hap
pening. The monsters We're urging
Clouts' body downward In such q way
that the edge Of tie bone knife would
lie Immediately AGAINST his breast.
Then, with an increased pressure,
Clouts would be forced down until the
keen bone sliced his body In twain.
He plunged his hand into the mound
and drew out a bone. Whirling 1t
about his head, he struck out right and
left with It, He heard the skulls Of
the monsters crack under the impact.
He Glove a path TO Clouts' side. He
reached him just as the edge Of the
knife lay across CIouts' breast. As be
beat back the sea devils. Clouts
Strengthened himself with a jerk and
looked up mournfully.
at amt no use, sir" he said. and
plunging his hand into his breast, he
drew out his mouth organ.
The relief was only momentarily
achieved The monsters came crowd
ing back. They pinioned Donald's
arms to his sides by pressure. In an
other instant ClOuts would have paid
the debt he never owed MacBeard.
1t was then the ruling passion as
serted itself in Clouts. Perhaps 1t was
because he thought his chance would
never come again, or 1t might have
been mere habit. Setting his hand to
his lips, he struck out the reedy notes
of sally in Our Alley
Donald saw the phosphorescence run
from them along the cave like liquid
fire. He heard MacBeard's deep note.
saw the fire culver and vanish in the
darkness outside the cave. Meanwhile
Sam Clouts played On.

excitement -----
