WATCH YOUR BANK ACCOUNT

The banks of Denison, and for that
matter. the banks all over Iowa, are
in receipt Of communication from
G. II. Messenger, superintendent of
the State Department Of Banking,
which imparts the information that
there is no express or implied power
granted by the. statutes permitting
the officers of bank to honor or pay
checks issued by its customers un-
less there are sufficient funds on de-
post in the bank to pay such sums
when presented.
| Mr.. Messenger states in his COM
munication that the United States
Supreme. court has ruled that bank
ers granting overdraft privileges are
guilty Of misapplying funds, and that
the practice must Immediately cease.
While this will not work any hard
ships on the bankers, it will prove in.
convient to many whose accounts al
ternate from black to red. The ruling
is, however, a good one. and will
teach all to watch their accounts more
carefully and check within their
means.

they reek and smell with the catch of
many seasons.

Their special equipment is what they
call a kite" fastened to the stern
with cable. At the end of about
fifty yards of cable is attached the
kite. 1t is a triangle shaped piece of
iron so weighted and adjusted that it
drags through the water with its side
bars or arms, spreading out beyond
either side of the boat. Along these
side bars are hooks.
The boat passes directly over the
mine, not drawing enough water to
strike it, The cable attached to the
mine strikes side bar of the kite and
slips along its side until hook catch

huge pairs OF steel scissors attached
to the bar. The scissors cut the cable
as if it was a thread and the mine
floats.
While there is great danger it is re-
duced to the minimum. The boat is
sure to 60 over the mine and the kite
is sure to go under it. The danger is
that the cable that attaches the kite to
the boat will strike the mines and eX-

stroy it. With the mine bobbing
around on the water the rest is easy.

Retail dealers in all states will be
provided by their Federal Food Ad-
ministration with certificates which
must be signed by the consumers be-
fore they obtain the 25 pounds of su-
gar allowed them at one time for
home canning. Each certificate has
blank spaces for the name OF the
dealer, the signature and address OF
the consumer, and the amount needed
for canning and preserving purposes
only. The certificate must be return
ed within one week after it is signed
to the Federal Food Administrator
for the state. in which the purchase
is made. The purchaser must pledge
himself to return whatever part of

In order to build up reserve stocks
to take care Of the canning demand,
jobbers are now permitted to hold
sugar sufficient to meet their needs
for sixty instead of thirty days. Where
necessity demands, Federal Food Ad-
ministrators will have authority to
allow the sale Of more than 1000
pounds-the present limit-to retail

will still be maintained not over
