NUMBER 22
A PHENOMENAL GROWTH
Missouri State Bank and Walton
Trust Company Show Remark
able Strides in Past Ten
Years.

The official statements OF the Mis7
souri, State Bank and the Walton
Trust Company, at the close of busi-
ness March 4. 1918, show so remark
able condition of financial strength
that the reader is impelled to COM
rarson of the condition of these two
institutions now and decade ago.
In February, 1903, the Missouri
State Bank and the Walton Trust
Company issued their official state
ments which. consolidated, showed
loans totaling $46I, 5000 and cash
and sight exchange $I45,o7o.54 To-
day, the loans on the books OF these
institutions, including real estate
loans in transit, amount to $780,
542,44 an increase of nearly million
dollars, and cash and sight exchange
amounting to $5l7,S74.I6 In February
1905 the combined capital stock of
the two institutions was $4,000 and
the surplus and undivided profits
$7oo27.Io. Today the capital stock
totals S3o5.ooo and the surplus and un-
divided profits amount to S2SI ,4o7.65.
And deposits have maintained as
great a ratio OF increase in the last
decade, climbing from total in
February, 1905 ot $454,544.+o to ST.
Jos, 10000. an increase OF well over
ttfTU TTItfiUT1 dollar 171aTN- The total
resources in 1908 were So4S,5h5,65, the
combined resources now amounting
to s., Io6, ,2o4.,'4 an increase in re-
sources in that time of over million
four hundred and siXtytwo thousand
dollars.
The growth OF these institutions in
a time SO comparatively short. which
would be remarkable even in new
institution. is little short OF phcnom-
cnal in old established houses OF the
character of these, which from their
have been conducted along
the most conservative lines.

Northern Lights.

People in this part OF the country
were treated to very beautiful and
unusual sight Thursday evening when
the northern lights or aurora borealis
put on display for about three
hours. During that time the northern
sky was coIored deep red which
rcsclnblcd red veil through which
the stars were visible. This phenom-
ena is seldom seen this far south and
many people in this city had never
seen such = thing before. 1t is re-
ported that in Kansas City there were
several fire alarms turned in by per-
sons who saw the glow and were Ger
tain that there was big fire.
One Of the pcculiaritics OF the
northern lights is the electrical dis
turbance that accompanies it. A
mariners compass is of no value
whatever, the magnetic needle point
ing in every and any direction. The
Thursday night visitor put the tele-
graph lines in many places ont of
commission for short time and per-
sons who used the telephone found
talking difficult as there was a con-
tinuous buzzing and cracking on the
line.

Much Oats Sown.

This year promises to be the ban
ner oats year of Bates county. The
high prices and the good crops last
year have caused a large acreage To
be sown in the county. Another rea-
son for the large amount sown is
that oats can be tended and harvest
ed with less work than corn. and farm
labor is going to be almost impos-
sible to get this year.. besides the
