NO MORE OvERDRAFTs ALLOWED.
Pressure from Federal and State Bank
ing Authorities COmpels Them
TO Quit Practice.

The bankers of Delaware county, I'M
der pressure from the banking
authorities both State and National
have reached an agreement to disconr
tinue the practice of allowing "over-
drafts" to be made. For years this
has been source of friction between
the local banks and the authorities
higher up" and now it is to be elimi-
mated altogether.
The bankers of the county have is
sued the following statement on the
subject:
THE Comptoller of Currency at
Washington, under whose supervision
all National Banks are operating, and
the Superintendent of Banking at Des
Moines, who has charge of all banks
in Iowa that are operating under State
Banking laws, are endeavoring, not
only to discourage the granting OF
overdrafts, but are compelling various
banks under their supervision to dis
continue such practice. under penalty
of the laws which are very severe in
case of such violation.
The term Overdraft. means in bank
ing when a patron of any bank issues
a check drawn on that bank when the
maker of the check has insufficient or
no funds in that bank to pay such
check; if the check is paid it results in
his account being Overdrawn, or it Gre
ates an Overdraft.
"All the banks in Delaware county
who have been granting this form OF
credit and all others whose names are
hereto attached, believe that in defer
ence to our National and State Banking
laws, and in justice to ourselves that
we should discontinue such practice.
This action on our part will cause no
inconvenience or injury to our patrons,
but will result in mutual benefit to all.
We assure you Of our Willingness
to meet any legitimate demand on us at
all times, and kindly ask all our pa
irons to cooperate with us in elimi-
mating this Objectionable practice, for
the reasons herein mentioned, and to
promote better business methods as
we'll"

REV. JOHN MALLOY TO WATERLOO

the Catholic church of Ryan for ten
years. has been transferred to the par
ish of Sacred Heart church at Water
loo, and begins his work there Sunday
August 18th, 1918. Rev. Father Nal
10y conducted his last service at the
Ryan church last Sunday morning and
in the evening on the church lawn his
congregation gave him ferewell re-
ception, which was attended by ap-
proximately 1900 people.
During the years of Rev. Father
Malloy's pastorate at Ryan the church
has prospered and has grown to one
of the strongest country parishes In
the state. In 1910 the church began
the erection of the handsome edifice
and later also erected commodious
parochial school building, the two in
volving an expenditure of = about
$65,OOO. This property is free from in
debtedness and stands as monu-
ment to the untiring efforts Of Rev.
Father Malloy and the generous heart
ed people Of the Ryan church.
Father Malloy was more than par
ish priest to the community of Ryan.
He took an unusual interest and ac-
tive part in every movement that was
aimed at the betterment of the COM
munity, and since the nation has en-
tered the world war he was constant
ly in demand as patriotic speaker.
He was heard on numerous patriotic
meetings in Manchester, and other
parts of the county, and was potent
factor in making it possible for Della
ware county to go lover the top" in
the sale of Liberty Bonds Under his
able leadership his church has been
foremost in every good work. Its
members subscribed for more than
$4,000 in Liberty Bonds at one ser
vice, and were quick to respond to
the call of duty.
Delaware county sustains a distinct
loss in Father Malloy's removal to
Waterloo, and Sacred Heart parish at
Waterloo has secured leader who
ranks among the ablest men of the
church.
Rev. Father Malloy will be succeed
ed at Ryan by Rev. NJ. S. Murphey Of
Castle Grove, who begins his work in
his new field next Sunday.
ROusing Farewell.
An elaborate program of speeches
and music had been prepared by the
members of the church which was Civ
en- from a platform erected on the
church lawn, where upwards of 1900
people had assembled. The platform
was artistically decorated with the
national colors, and the church service
flag. Rev. John O'Donnell of Monti
presided as toastmaster. Addresses
were given ts1ring the esavening by the
following men:
Rev. Father John Malloy as a
Priest, by Very Rev. VIM. Donahue, of
Independence; Father Malloy. as a
Patriot. by A. NJ Cloud of Manchester;
Father Malloy, as Neighbor, by Rev
Eugene Melchert, pastor of the Luth-
eran church of Ryan; Father Malloy,
as Citizen, by Rev. Edward O'Don-
nell; and an address by John T..
Lannigan, editor of the Monticello
Times. At the conclusion of the pro-
gram P. H. Drummy, on behalf Of the
church, presented Rev. Father Malloy
with a purse of $1,000, as a token of
esteem and affection.
Musical numbers were given by the
choir of the church, which were great
ly enjoyed and appreciated by the
large crowd which had gathered there
to bid farewell to Rev. Father Malloy.

Friends, you don't know the pleas
ure 1T gives me to be with you this
evening. | am interested in Thrift
Stamps, and want to see every bow
and girl in Clarendon county become
interested. When they do the victory
IS won, for the money is easily got
ten. | have become thoroughly con-
vlnced that where there is a will there
IS a way. will give you few of my
plans to make money. l am sure every
one OF you have the same opportuni
ties and probably better. / am my
mothers handy boy around the hotel,
which gives me quite a few stamps
each week, otherwise, some little COL
ored boy would get the money and
spend 1T for candy and cigarettes. At
ter school, sell ice cream; on Satur-
days | sell newspapers. There aren't
many of us that like the idea of be-
ing called news boys, but there aren't
any of us who like the idea of being
conquered by Germany. Neverthe,
less, by those means, have the pleas
ure OF showing you my four War Saw
lngs Stamps. IF through Providence
| never receive any benefit from them,
! Will never regret the Investment
Tor l feel that l owe this to nv coun.
try. Boys, have you ever Thought of
the sacrifices the soldiers in the
trenches are making for US? If we do
not help them win the victory. we w
soon must take their places on the
battle fields. Now when YOU are
spending your. money uselessly, re-
member the boys that are DIVING
there an dthe mothers who are ween,
ing here. Friends, when the war is
over, let us not be ashamed to face
our own conscience with what we have
done for our country. IF I were not
willing to give my money to help the
cause l would never again wave the
S.ars tS,a ;sr: and Stripes, nor sing "My Coun-
I Try lis of Thee, Sweet Land of Lib.
erty." Yes, indeed, it is is sweet
therefore we should be willing to
MAKE every sacrifice necessary to re-
tam 1t: When we think of the liber-
ties of our government and of our
homes being trampled under foot of
tne enemy, we can but turn our faces
toward Heaven and say, "Forbid It,
Almighty God, but give us Liberty

can assist them by producing more
food at home and lending Uncle Sam
our money. I plead with you to buy
War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps, to practice a greater degree
of economy than you have ever known
before;- to refrain from idle expendi-
ture of money and to devote these
savings to the purchase of War Saw
ings Stamps.
When IN the providence of God,
those heroes who survive the shock
of battle and the storm at sea, are
returning to us, and each community
shall go out in triumphal welcome to
greet the returning boys; that man or
woman who has put no money into
this cause, who has not sacrificed to
the point of feeling his sacrifice, for
the sake of victory, should hang his
or head in shame and stay behind
closed doors. But the man or woman
who has of his little abundance con-
tributed as literally as possible to
the cause of justice and freedom and
for the sakes of our boys across the
seas, that man or woman may meet
the boys at the station with a glad
some thrill and an exultant throb of
his pulses, happy in the thought that
he did what he could TO be worthy of
the comradeship Of those who kwere
willing to do and dare.
