Plenty of Peanuts.

To the average weekly editor whose
commercial experience with peanuts
has been limited to five cents trans
actions and paper sack quantities it
is intensely interesting to see these
farmers hauling the things by the two

1t has always been a rule when you
you drop a peanut to pick it up. Now
these fellows drop hatful and new

gotten used to it at this office and we
find it difficult to stay in doors for

Loans And Discounts Increase.
Another real indication of general
~ good business conditions. and
money aplenty, is the nearly three
quarter million dollar increase in
loans and discounts.
1t is an axiom in banking circles
that the increase of loans and dis
counts MEANS a decrease in de-

condition Is I'm evidence this year.
for both items show a healthy in

OF money is being used. but not as
fast as it Is coming in.
CIearings The Clincher.
The total of bank clearings is the
measure Of business that is being
done.
Fargo bank elearings for the
month of November, 1917, were
$1,000, COSTS, or nearY H.
000, 900 more than for November
of 1916.
cIearings for the first II
months Of 1917 were $S2, 1884,

for the first II months Of 1915.
The total of elearings for 1917
will very nearly reach the $780,
100000 mark, IL the November
rate Of cIearings Is maintained
or bettsred during December.
The total clearings for 1915 were
$93, 44S, 1893.
Predict New High Marks.
That the close Of the present year
will see the establishment Of new
records in bank figures. Is every
where predicted in Fargo banking
circles.
The former high figure for de-
posits has already been passed;
loans and discounts have been at a
higher, but never at a healthier
figure; and bank clearings are Stat
ed TO be larger than any previous
year by several million dollars.
