G S. YOUMANS MAKES
BUSINESS CHANGES
Resigns From Trust company and
Three Banks Will Head BlOoded
Live Stock Company
to BE President of Farmers
Bank of Min0t.

Grant s. Youmans has rendered his
resignation as president, Of the Saw
ings Loan h Trust company and the
First Farmers Bank of Minot, the res
ignation to take effect at once.
Anthony Walton, who has been vice
president, will become president Of
both the company and the local hank.
Mr.. Youmans will take active charge
Of the Grain Growers Live Stock COM
pany, an organization with which he
has big plans for the future-plans
that will make Minot the center Of live
stock men for hundreds of miles, and
which, at the same time, purposes to
bring to Ward county and the coun-
ties surrounding it, pure bred stock
for which there is now an insistent de-
mand.
Mr.. Youmans spent two days in
Fargo the first of last week arranging
for business relations with the Equity
Cooperative Packing company.
It was learned early last week that
these plans were under way. When
Mr.. Youmans was asked about them,
he said that they were even farther
along than rumor reported. He show
ed a copy of his resignation and ex-

Two Jobs Are Too Much.
1T has been q grind Of sixteen
hours day for me-" he said, "and my
nerves are getting worn. / believe
it will be good thing for me to get
in the open more Of the time. At the
same time Mr.. Walton can handle the
presidency. So the affairs Of the bank
will 60 forward as usual.
"The plan Of organizing the live
stock business was begun late in the
sumwer. We then expected to name
it the United States Live Stock assoc
citation. We probably will call it the
Farm Mortgage and Cattle Loan Com
pany, however. When the plans were
begun, everything seemed to fall on
my shoulders, in addition to the duties
of bank president. Thus l had two
jobs. can't keep both of them, be-
cause no man can handle that much
work. So l am going to get into the
out-of- doors for a while and devote
myself to the livestock end of the
business entirely"

ITO Hon. Anthony Walton, and
to The Board of Directors Of
the Savings Loan & Trust Co.,
Minot, North Dakota.
Gentlemen:

COURT. GIVES GILBERT AND
TOWNLEY EXTENSION

falrm0unt, Mlnn., Dec. l8.-Dstrlct
Judge E. G. Dean granted an extern
sion Of one month to Attorneys for A.
G. Townley and Joseph Gilbert late
yesterday to file their briefs to support
their motions for new trials for the
two Nonpartisan league leaders who
were convicted at Jacksonville, Mimi,
last summer, Of having conspired to
teach disloyalty. It was announced
that the extremely long record 81 the
case as turned out by the court stem
ographers was not completed in suf-
hcient time to enable the attorneys to
make their arguments today. When
Judge Dean passed sentence on Town
ley and Gilbert he gave their attor-
neys until Dec. Is. to make their mo-
tions for new trial.

and director Of the First Security bank
OF Carplo, and as president and direc-
tor OF the American Exchange bank
OF Wahord City, to take effect not lat
er than January LIST, 1920, or before
that time in case the board of direc-
tors can relieve me of these positions.
This is in accordance with and in
order that we may carry out our in
tentions to launch live stock enter
prise to help build up the business of
this company and Of the three banks
in which some 1900 farmers and la
boring men are financially interested.
1T Is we'll settled fact that the
management of live stock business,
as planned by US, will require all of
one mans time with the assistance Of
others, and to that end, l ask to be
relieved of all my present Offices and
responsibilities in the company and
in the three banks.
IF desired by and agreeable to
the stockholders and directors of the
Savings Loan & Trust company, and
II the new live stock undertaking can
be financed by the stockholders, dire
tors and officers of this company, the
Live Stock Association, as proposed
can be owned and controlled by the
Savings Loan & Trust company in the
manner as are the three banks now, all
then to be owned and controlled by
the farmers and laboring men who own
and hold the stock of the Savings Loan
& Trust company.
The business of this company and
OF the three banks being well estab-
lished and successful, and because it
will be possible for the stockholders
and directors to secure the services of
other men to take my place, l take
this time and opportunity of resign
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-12-25

ing, as before stated, for the reason,
to-wit: For the sole purpose of form
ing, with my associates, a separate
corporation to engage in the live stock
business and in 50 doing to encourage
farmers to raise more cattle, sheep
and hogs-for them to diversity more,
and at the same time make it possible
to increase the business Of this COM
pany and of our three banks. rs
The Savings Loan & Trust COM
pany, as is known, was re-organized
in the spring of 1916 by Anthony Wal
ton, C. o. Carlson and myself. Since
that time several hundred farmers
subscribers and stockholders in this
company and in the three banks by
reason Of their ownership Of shares in
the company. From the time of be-
ing joined by Mr.. Walton and Mr..
Carlson in the business, I have never
disposed Of single share of stock of
my original holdings in the company.
] still have the same amount Of my
original holdings in the company
that | had after admitting Mr.. Walton
and Mr.. Carlson in the business.
During the past four years while
working devotedly in the upbpilding of
these farmer-owned institutions,
have found it very difficult to meet
living expenses on my salary of only
$500 per month received as president
Of all four institutions, owing, may it
be said, to the fact that have dur
ing that time voluntarily contributed
close to $4,000 to the cause Of the or
ganized farmer, labor, Red Cross,
churches and to other worthy causes.
''1n the election of men to take my
place as officer and director of the
company and of the three banks,
leave that to the wishes and judgment
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1919-12-25

stock industry in Ward county was
begun. The results were surprising.
They showed that the farmers are all
eager to buy blooded stock, but that
they are holding fast to what they
have.
In making the survey, question
naire was sent out to the farmers,
each farmer filing in the blanks Civ
ing the size and location of his land,
and the varieties and breeding of his
live stock. At the bottom he stated
the variety of stock for sale and the
variety he wished to buy. The culls
were for sale, but practically none of
the blooded stock.
This was taken as emphatic evidence
that the farmers want pure-blooded
stock, and was also taken as an ex-
ample of the great market for the
best animals that can be supplied.
Purpose-TO Establish Market.
There remained to be done the es-,
tablishing Of some means Of bringing
the farmer into touch with market
and bringing the pure bred stock
market to him. So it was decided to
create the facilities that were lacking.
This explains the purpose of the or.
ganization-to establish a market
where the farmer can buy and sell
live stock. .,......
The plan is to organize for 100000
before starting active business. Much
Of this active preliminary work has
already been accomplished. Between
three and four sections of land SOUTH
west of the city have been leased and
will be used for pasture. Blooded
stock of all kinds will be imported
hogs, sheep and cattle.
Sale Pavilion Planned.
In Minot stock barn and sales
pavilion will be provided. A good
location, near to railroad, is wanted.
BY this means provision will be made
for sales. This will bring live stock
breeders to Minot from a wide radius
from other states.
When asked how much money will
pass through such an institution in a
year, Mr.. Youmans said:
Esas Eve have no way of knowing, but
it ought to be at least quarter of a
million"
Some communities that are working
out similar plans and have not the re-
sources of Ward county, expect to
transact million dollar business this
year.
The plans, when matured, will make
Ward county pure-bred live stock
center, and at the same time stimulate
stock raising in the wheat belt, giving
the county a more dependable farm in
dustry to depend on than grain rails
ing.
Mr.. Walton, who becomes president
OF the Farmers Bank, has been con-
nected with the institution as vice
president, and is known to practically
everybody in Ward and adjoining coun-
ties. He is president Of the Equity
State Union and director of the Fargo
packing plant, has taken leading
part in farm enterprises and has been
one of the boosters for state mill for
Minot, being president of the Assoca-
ton Of Commerce committee appointed
for that purpose. HIS thorough ac-
quantance with the Farmers bank, as
sures the success Of the institution un.

of the stockholders and directors, but
permit me to recommend that Anthony
Walton be elected as president Of this
company and as president of the First
Farmers bank of Minot; that s. 0.
Ridgway of Carpio be elected to the
position of president Of the Carpio
bank; and some worthy farmer-stock-
holder in Mckenzie county be elected
to the position of president Of the
Watford City bank; that the cashiers
of the three banks be retained, and
that the directors secure the services
of man with farm mortgage and
banking experience to act as general
manager Of the company.
I'm spite Of the four poor crop years
just experienced, marked progress
and success has rewarded our efforts
in operating these farmer-owned en-
terprises as will be self-evidenced by
a glance at our financial statements,
to-wit: Resources of about $68O,O00
of the Savings Loan & Trust company,
and this maintains after charging off
during the month Of November, 1919,

carry on the business Of each.
when organizing these enterprises
for the farmers some four years ago,
and since, it has been the aim and
hope of myself and associates, as you
know, to render the greatest possible
service to our members at the least
possible expense, All this has been
accomplished. Even under adverse
crop conditions, we have fulfilled every
promise and agreement made with our
subscribers. These financial enterprises
are all sound, fully financed and sue
cessful. With ordinary care, attention
and business judgment on the part Of
the new management, they can be kept
in this condition, steadily increasing in
volume of business, service and use
fulness to our subscribers, stockhold-
ers and patrons.
