SEEK TO BRING
BANKS IN SYSTEM
(Bv Associated Press,,

Minneapolis, July 13.-In order that
the banking power of the northwest
may be consolidated behind the gov
eminent, the federal reserve bank Of
the ninth district started g. cam
Daign today to urge all eligible state
banks in the district to join the re-
serve system, is was announced today.
There are GOT state banks and
trust companies in the district with
capital and surplus sufficient to
permit them to qualify for member
ship in the system, according to a
survey just completed by the reserve
bank.
State banks and trust companies in
the district having resources aggre-
eating $73,000,000 already have be-
come members.
THE present situation throughout
the ninth district is unusual said Mr..
Rich in a statement today. 1.-THE
western half of the territory in the
ninth district suffered a crop failure
a year ago and is in danger Of a par
tial crop failure this year. It has
been imperative to extend all posi-
BILE assistance to the farmers in order
to maintain agricultural production at
a satisfactory volume. Throughout
the remainder Of the district the de-
mand upon all banks has been I'M
usually heavy, due to the rising cost
Of agricultural operation.
1.-The financial situation at the pres
ent time is entirely satisfactory and
will remain so although the problem
Of financing current operations in the
northwest will continue to be a diff
cult one until the liquidation follow
ing the movement of the crops"

Reckless Driving Said to Be
Cause For Spill With No
Serious Results

If a movie photographer for {
slap-stick comedy concern hac
been making his way down the
Dixie Highway between Wiggins
and Perkinst0n last Sunday
evening about six o'clock, he nc
doubt could have picked up a
swell scene to fill in a part
where real acrobatic stunts and
loop-the-loop automobiles were
needed.
1t was last Sunday evening
that j. c. Simmons, Of Carnes,
and Elmer Ladner, Of Elarbee,
were in d Ford car running at a
good speed, near the Scott
Frank place three miles south of
town, when an automobile party
was met. From what could be
gathered from some of the par
ties present, it appears that Mr..
Simmons made an attempt to
pass on the left side of the ap-
preaching car, but when within
a few feet Of the oncoming ma
chine he changed his mind and
made quick turn to the right,
but the turn proved to be too
abrupt for the speed of the little
Ford and at that moment caused
the car to make a complete
somersault sideways, landing
upright with engine still running
and not over $50 damage to the
little flivver.
After the performance was
over, Mr.. Simmons was found
from the car with his
foot caught in the steering
He suffered slight in
jury to his back. Mr.. Ladner,
after extricating his friend. Mr..
Simmons from his dangling po-
sition, discovered that his back
and hip was somewhat bruised
and was brought to town where
he was given treatment by a
physician.

Hubby can stay out an hour

if he will stop long enough at the
mantle, on leaving. and shove the
old clock back an hour. That's
your Uncle Sans instructions.
Clocks, watches and other
time keeping instruments in
Virgins. Stone County, Missis-
sippi and throughout the United
States must be pushed back one
hour before 2 O'Clock tomorrow

millions of dollars have been
saved during the months that
the hands of the clocks have been

AMERICAN FORCES DOING
GREAT WORK ALL ALONG
ENTIRE VERDUN FRONT
British Meeting With Success At Every
Hand While the Enemy Is Said
To Be Fighting Des-
perateiy

The latest news from the war
sections continue to look good
for the Allies.
The French have been very
successful in driving the enemy
back across the Sambre Can al
and Asiago plateau, capturing
seven hundred prisoners and a
number of guns THURSDAY.
The American forces have
been doing great work along the
Verdun front during the past
week, pushing back the enemy
from three to five miles along an
entil e twenty mile line.
The British seems to have
been the most successful during
the latter part of the week,
they having captured seven
thousand German prisoners and
many guns Thursday and Fri
day.
While the allies are battering
back the enemy at every point,
Secretary Baker reports that
oyer two million American sol
diers are now in France and
still mere going across.
What is somewhat surprising
at this stage of the game is the
stubborn resistance the German
forces are making against the
allied armies. Reports have it
that the Germans are holding
out to the last ditch in trying to
hold their ground and it is only
when whipped and pushed out of
their trenches that they give way
to the allied soldiers. 1t is said,

Pierre, S. D., July 2S.--What is

This question is worrying many a
woman bargain hunter in South Da-
kota. You see, it's like this:
Not long ago, state officials who
have been sharply enforcing the
prohibition laws, discovered that
lemon extract was a big seller. In
vestigation proved that several
brands contained heavy percent

pie were distilling the liquor by a

stopped the sale Of the extract.
