Two Liberty Loan bond drives, a
monster Red Cross campaign, a Y.
M. c. A. war work campaign, and q
dozen or more campaigns in support
OF war and non-war activities with
in the past year have done anything
but put a crimp in Fargo's bank
ing business.
Fargo bank deposits increased
S2,014, ,083.77 from Dec. al, 1916
to Nov. 20, 1911.
Loans and discounts fer the
same period increased $732y01S.
Bank elearings increased
from approximately eight and a
half millions a month TO more
than ten millions a month.
And the end ID not ia sight.
Fargo bankers are unanimous in
declaring that the increases are not
due to war imitation, but rather TO
the American program Of business
as usual" and then sticking to It.
The increases, the bankers say, are
most remarkable when 1t is consi-
dered that hundreds of thousands OF
dollars have been taken from Fargo
and the northwest in payment OF
Liberty Loan bonds. Red Cross and
''Y'' war work pledges. and for the
W1A AGnNAE anu CAAeA4 AA4@0s
Under ordinary conditions, they say,
the taking from. circulation of such
large amounts OF money would be
more likely to decrease banking
figures than to increase them.
The bulk OF the increases is due in
a large extent to the very good
prices that are being paid for food
and other products. North Dakota
farmers, though they raised their
smallest average crop last year, got
more money for it than ever before,
leaving them a surplus Of funds
which gradually found their way in
to the depositaries OF North Da-
kota's banking and commercial CEN
ters
The increases are also indicative
of the generally good business con-
ditions over the state, and particu-
larIy in the Red River valley, in
which Fargo IS the center. Scores
of country banks use the city's
banking institutions as depositaries
for their surplus funds, and often
times the total OF these monies runs
into hundreds Of thousands Of doll
lars.

(By Assoclated Press.l J

washington, Dec. S.-President
Wilson was devoting all his attention
today to the railroad problem with
the intention of making a quick de-
cision on whether the government
shall operate the railroads for the
war emergency or whether IL shall
extend aid in the way the railways
ask.
1t was said that one OF the chief
difficulties in the way Of choosing
government operation was that OF
finding a railway administrator. One
or the principal questions the Presi-

whether ii would be better TO choose

other line of business.

Washington, Dec. g.
Torpedoed in a night at
tack, the American de-
stroyer, Jacob Jones, one of
the newest and largest sub
marine hunters of her class
was sunk Thursday night
in the war zone and two
thirds of her crew lost. The
disaster brings to the
American people the first
naval loss of great conse-
quence since the country
entered the war.
Thirty-seven of her Of
icers and crew were taken
off in life RATS. The re-
imainder are not accounted
for in today's dispatch
from Vice Admiral Sims,
who forwarded the names
of ten of the survivors.
Lieutenant Commander

brother of Mrs. Josephus
Daniels, wife of the secre-
tary of the navy, and whose
brother was the first Amer
lean officer to give his life
in the Spanish-American
war, does not appear In the
list of survivors.
Inasmuch as Admiral
Sims mentioned other Of
ficers among the survivors,
and did not name Bagley,
it is feared he went down
with his ship.
Loss of Life Heavy.
The complement OF the Jones I'M

petty officers. and 81 enlisted men.
Undoubtedly this has been increased
TO a hundred or more. From the
first report it would appear that the
loss OF life would be upward Of six

tails were contained in todays re-
port, but il has been the case here
tofore that when q submarine gets
a hit on a destroyer IL Is more due
to q chance meeting and good op-

The large loss OF life would indi-
