First National Bank
Doubles It's Capital Stock

AC tne annual meeting IN January or
the Stockholders of the First National
Bank of Oakes, it was unanimously
agreed to increase the Capital from
$25,000 to $4,000 and at a special
meeting held February 9th, the neces-
sary forms were complied with. At
the same time special National Bank
examiner from st. Paul and his as
sistant made a thorough examination
of the Bank, and having found it's af-
fairs in excellent condition, will rec

who is at the head of the National
Bank system of this Government.
This bank was founded in 1886, and
for thirty-one years has been under
one management, with Thoma r..
Marshall, (who has lived in Dakota
forty-tive years,) as President.
1t began its career as a small
Country Bank and lived thru twelve
or thirteen lean years, during a num-
Der of which Mr.. Marshall worked
without salary, and the stockholders
went without dividends. Today it is
nothing uncommon for an individual
among it's patrons to have larger
balance to his credit than the total
deposits of all kinds of the Bank at
times in the past.
Since the year 1900 the business
has shown a rapid and continued
growth, and in this year of 1918 it's
deposits are we'll over the half million
mark, or the largest in Dickey or Sar.
gent Counties. Likewise, the stock.
holders by their action. has given it
the largest capital of any bank in
these counties.
The action of the management

burdens more than over balance any
increased earnings. 1t means, how
ever, better banking facilities for its
patrons and makes the Bank stronger
and better able to bear the burdens of

crop period and extending friendly and
helpful aid to- the Government in a

VEGETABLE GARDEN

During the coming summer every
family in North Dakota whether in
town or on farm should have veg
etable garden not only as personal
economic measure but as patriotic
measure. The following are some inl-
portant facts concerning the home
garden that deserve the consideration
of everyone.
1. The use of greater amount of
vegetables will add variety to the
diet and improve the health of the
family.
2. The vegetables from the home gar
den which should constitute 40 per
cent or more of the diet, will cut down
the grocery bill.
g. The amount of vegetables grown
in the home garden is clear gain to
the world food supply
4. Use of more vegetables will auto
matically release more concentrated
foods for export.
s. More food can be grown per acre
of garden than per acre of most field
crops.
6. The land devoted to the garden
: generally represents just that much
more land devoted to food production
! and that much less idle land.
z. The labor involved in growing the
garden in the spare time moments of
the family which would not be utilized
otherwise in food production and
therefore to some extent it counter
balances the shortage of labor engaged
in food production on the farm.
s. Vegetables in sufficient quantity
can seldom be bought economically in
North Dakota, therefore they need to
i be grown.
| 9. Use of home grown vegetables
reduces the amount of food that needs
to be imported. consequently, helping
to reduce the transportation difficult
4 les.
10. Vegetables of the very best quail
. ity can be produced in the home gar
den.
IL. The vegetable garden enables
everyone to be a producer, not only q
consumer. of food.
IL. A large amount of food can be
supplied with small outlay of cash
| for seed. ETC., and careful investment
Of surplus time.
Food is the one thing that is essen.
tial to war and peace, for which there
is no substitute. A food supply suf-
ficient to feed the soldiers and civil
population of our allies and our own
country is as essential as ammunition
of the armed forces.
Munition of warfare can be manu-
factured by comparatively few peo.
pie.
Money for prosecuting the war or
relieving suffering caused by it can be
subscribed by most of us.
Food, which is as essential as either
of the other two factors, can be pro-
duced by anyone in North Dakota.
Vegetables from the home garden
constitute the main sources of food for
the European people at present. Tho
ability of Germany to feed herself is
! largely due to the immense potato
crop and the large amount of veg.
etables produced within her borders.
1t is the duty of every North D1tota
citizen to create and care for good
vegetable garden this year, and every
year that the war continues so that
more of our cereal crops and meat can
be used by our army and shipped to
our allies.-H. o. Werner, N. Oak,

Atlanta Likely to Lose Nikitag Pap

No. 4.

Atlanta, Ga.-Nikitag Pappanikolo-
polous, Atlanta, is right up in the
forefront of the list Of men in the new
draft. In fact, he is No. in division
No. 2, and it appears that Atlanta is
about to lose Mr.. Pappaniko-etc. Un-
less he has some brothers, Mr.. Pappan-
iko-etc. undoubtedly has the longest
name in the Atlanta directory, and
just what the officers out at Camp
Gordon will do with it in case Mr..
Pappani-etc. is taken there remains
to be seen. However, they've had con-
siderable experience with names and
Mr.. Pappan-etc. needn't be bit sur
prised if they make his moniker some
thing short and snappy, like "Nick
Papp."

$500 per month salary and $1,000 per
month expenses. This is the sworn
statement of the treasurer of the non
partizan league given in the bankruptcy
proceedings of Mr. Townley, who
failed" for 100000. The farmers who
have had difficulty in meeting their
payments on Liberty bonds, machinery,
etc. will hardly feel that Mr.. Townley
is entitled to draw $500 per month or
$4,000 per pear from the money COZ
1ected from the farmers for membership
in the league Yet Townley and his
associates claim they collected $4,000
from the farmers of Idaho for member
ship in the league and they do not have
to account to any one for this money
We wonder how many farmers of Latah
and neighboring counties will renew
their membership in the nonpartizan
league at $40 per renewal

for the scnool board and health Of

were still undecided when the paper
went to press. As a consequence those

til Monday that there would be no

but the board could not get all of its
members and the health officers who
were looking after their many cases of
illness, together in time for Friday
paper.
These things are annoying and, at first
glance, seem unnecessary. But, before
we condemn, let us think of the vast

board and others are carrying The
school board is composed of men Of

would have been much better had the
notices that there would be no public
or Sunday schools been published not
later than Friday, but no one is really
to blame land we belive that all have
done their duty as they saw it and that
any mistakes have been because of those
making them having too much to do.
Let us be patient and also be thankful
that Moscow has escaped with as light
a loss of life and as little suffering and
inconvenience as she has.
WHY NOT NOW?|
The United States will eventually
have to take over the government of
Mexico. Why not do it now, or as soon
as "the boys get home? We cannot
stand the Mexican government as a
neighbor. That country is as unfit for
self government as is Russia, under
control. AS long as Mex
leo is governed by Mexicans our south
ern border will not be safe. We should
take over~that country and make it safe
for white people to Live in. We can
do it now, with impunity. Had we start
ed before the great European war we
would have had Japan to fight. Now it
IS different With our army and navy
developed to their present strength and
OUR power so we'll known, no other
would dare interfere.
If we do not take Mexico over and |
govern it we should at least use the air
planes built for service in Europe to |
lefend our southern border If the Uni |
ed States will station few American
aces" with modern fighting planes

With telephone or Geographic connec-

lanes in that country and the Mexicans

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAISING TELEPHONE RATES.

Next week hearing will be held in
Moscow on the application of the Mos
COW Telephone & Telegraph company
for permission to increase its rates i'll
town and OH the rural lines. Naturally
the people of Moscow oppose such an
increase. They are getting tired of hav-
ing the price of everything they use
raised There will be strong opposition
70 the petition which will be considered
BY the public utilities commission of the
state
The tendency to raise the price of eve
rything is being carried SO far that the
people are becoming resentful. Govern
ment control of railroads resulted in an
advance of about 20 per cent in freight
md passenger rates and a great de-
srioration in the quality of the serv-
taken over control of the telegraph lines
and the first thing that is done is to
ask an increase of rates.
Spokane is fighting the telephone
trust there, which has been granted per-
mission to raise its rates and the mayor
and city attorney have gone to Washing
ton to take the matter up personally
with Postmaster General Burleson In
the meantime more than 1900 patrons of
the Spokane telephone have signed
an agreement to discontinue patroniz-
ing the company, SO that if the com
pany wins in its fight to hold the rates
at the present high level it will be
heavy loser and the people of Spokane
will not have as good service as they
had in the past There will be more
than 1900 homes or business houses
without telephone service and the loss
of revenue from these will more than
offset the increased rates charged those
who continue to patronize the company
because they cannot help it.
LET US HAVE PATIENCE.

ication by the Rev. ]. Quincy Biggs,
of the Christian church, published else |
where in this issue in regard to the lare-
ness of the announcement that there

DIRECTOR HACA
WILL MOVE CROP
Does Not Propose to
Have Empty Cars
Standing Idle on Side
tracks.

O. o. Haga, state director of COM
mencial economy, recently appointed
by the state council of defense. has
already taken steps to prepare for
the great crop movement in Idaho
this year. Director Haga has adj
dressed communication to the
chairmen Of all county councils of
defense asking them to recommend
qualified person to act as county
director who should be either a
member of the council or, If not, will
be appointed member. He asks
that a survey of the state be made
at once to ascertain definitely the
number of threshing machines in the
state, the counties over which they
are distributed and the amount of
grain to be threshed in each county.
The object is in the first instance to
prevent duplication of territory and
to secure an accurate survey of the
grain crop. An automobile truck
feet is propised by Director Haga to
move the grain to shipping points
as rapidly as possible, each truck
to be equipped with small unload
ing elevator to that the grain can be
rapidly transferred to the cars. He
has also taken up with the public
utilities commission the matter of
having all cars arriving at points of
destination in the state unloaded
rapidly so that they can Immediately
be reloaded. F. A..
