BIG BANK DEPOSITS
Increase of More Than a Million From
March to June 6.

In spite of millions of dollars in
expense for spring planting, wheat
harvest and nearly % million dollars
worth of subscriptions to the liberty
loan and the Red Cross campaigns,
state banks increased their deposits
more than a million and a half from
March to June 6. A statement is
sued by Senator Walter E. Wilson,
state bank commissioner, shows de-
posts in state banks aggregating
1902. 131, 544.97, an increase of $780,
446,147.s2 over the report for the
same date in 1916.
The May report for national banks
in Kansas showed a slight slump in
deposits. This showing indicated that
the state banks would probably fall
behind their March deposit record.
The report, however, shows a gain of
nearly a million and a half, the de-
post record for March 5 showing
S200,858 005.18.

Twenty or more horses are already
quartered at the Fair Grounds in read

entries coming in daily by wire, phone
and letter indicate that by the time the
Fair opens there will be so or more
animals ready for the events. The
liberal purses offered are bringing
horsemen from at least half dozen
states, and in all probability the best
races to be seen in the State this Fall
will be at Monticello.
Among the horses now at the

The Fair

The Southeast Arkansas Fair will open
it's gates on next Tuesday, the 18th
inst, and from the present indications
will rank most favorably with it's
predecessors, The farmers have been
blessed with good corps, this year, and
we may reasonably anticipate an excel
lent showing from the fields. Our stock
men for the past three or four years
have been importing blooded cattle,
and the exhibit in this line, will, I'M
doubtedly, be large and good. Ample
interest is, also, being taken in the
track program and many lively and
fast races will be pulled off All pos
sible arrangements are being made for
big Fair, and we will have one.
