INTERESTING DAY CLOSES WITH
FINE BANQUET AT PALMER
HOUSE.

!, Sank Centre scored heavily again
on Wednesday Of this week when the
Sixth District Bankers Association
were the guests of the local banks.
About rs men interested in the bank
ing business were present. Among
the number. were representatives of
the largest banks in Chicago and
New York, three ex-state bank ex-
aminers, and one ex-secretary to the
governor of the state of Minnesota.
The convention was called to order
at the Commercial Club rooms shortly
after 10 o'clock by President A. A.
Fitch of Royalton. After the invoca-
ton by Rev. FIR. Fearon, Mayor A. j.
DuBeau most cordially welcomed the
bankers on behalf of the citizens of
Sank Centre. C. L. Atwood of St.
Cloud gave hearty response to the
Mayors address.
The papers and addresses were of
peculiar interest to the banking fra
ternity, and it was very gratifying 20
note the strong 100 per cent Ameri-
canism sentiment prevalent. The
bankers expressed their desire and
willingness to place the resources,
their institutions at the disposal of the
government in any manner in which
they can be used.
4. The bankers stepped outside their
profession and drafted Rudolph A.
Lee of the Long Prairie Leader to adj
dress them upon the subject of
"World Finance as it Appears to a
Country Editor" Mr.. Lee upheld his
profession in splendid shape, and his
paper was generally commented upon
as being one of the very strongest
before the convention.
In the afternoon several hours were
spent visiting the Home School for
Girls, chaperoned by DIR. ]. A.! Dubois.
Like all others who visit this institu-
ton for. the first time and have an OPP
portunity to study the plan upon
which it is operated and the results ac-
complished, they were amazed at the
work of reconstruction being carried.
