Lumberjacks Save
Much Food; Willing
To Keep 1t Up Now

Minneapolis, MIMI, Dec. 11.-Min-
nesota lumberjacks, after voluntarily
saving in the last year more than o.
900, 600 pounds of white flour, nearly
1000 tons of sugar and 0 900
pounds Of beef and pork products, are
said to be in favor of continuing their
conservation.
The requests Of the food adminis-
tration and the cooperation of the
men in the lumber camps in comply
ing with them has been watched by
Ben Finch of Duluth, special repre-
sentative Of the camp department of
the food administration in Minnesota.
"In the fall of 1917" Mr.. Finch
said, lit was generally understood that
logging and construction camps were
most wasteful in their use Of food.
This had grown out of a rivalry
among the cooks at camps as to which
could provide the lumberjacks with
the best and most heavily laden table.
When the government appealed. for
help in the matter of food conserva-
ton, cooks and lumberjacks alike
turned about face and were as good
soldiers or the food line as were the
soldiers overseas On the firing line."

that it was necessary for our govern

the British government to come to

still remaining some remnants of that

Ulick was located, apprehended and

WHAT GUARANTY OF BANK
DEPOSITS MEANS.

Under the Bank Guaranty Law
passed by the 1917 North Dakota leg
lsiature and now in operation, the de-
posts OF the Farmers State Bank of
Linton are now fully guaranteed.
This means that the law of North
Dakota makes it impossible for any
one depositing money in this bank, in
corporated as it is under the North
Dakota laws, TO lose any part of the
money.
Under the North Dakota law and
the direction CT the North Dakota
Bank Guaranty Commission, a fund
has bsen established which presently
will amount to probably more than
$1,000,000. Each state bank is as
sessed one-twentieth of one per cent
Of its deposits, until the amount
raaches one per cent of all the de-
posts in the state. The fund will be
increased automatically at any time
more money is needed. This fund
will be used to guarantee the deposits
of the state banks operating under
the guaranty law. In the event of
any state bank failure, its guaranteed
denosits will be paid out at once to
all depositors. out of the state bank
guaranty fund ADV.
