UTOPIA BREAKS A BANK.

The Non-Partsan League has been in control
of the State of North Dakota for some time, and
has been working might and main to extend
it's tentacles successfully beyond the borders of that
state Being modified form of Bolshevsm, her
aided as Utopian in it's aims, its experience in
North Dakota has been watched closely. And the
evidence has been steadily appearing that, much
like Russia, which has been plundered and hurled
into chaos by Lenin and Trotsky traitors to man
kind, North Dakota is in the hands of an unscrup-
ulous band. Shortly after the sending of Towney
its leader. to Jail in Minnesota, for opposing the
L. s government, comes word that the League
has become bank wrecked through the news that
the Scandinavian American Bank of Fargo with
liabilities aggregating more than $l,600,000 has
been declared insovent and placed in the hands
of temporary receiver The bank had an au-
thorized capital of $4,000 and surplus of
$4,000. lape r~~.
> In it's last statement of condition the bank
showed total resources and liabilities of S ,509-
200 66, which have since been increased to over
81 SOC, 00G according to the report filed with the
state banking board.
Citing list of loans aggregating $734 l9492
the report to the banking board by the examiners
says:
The above represents the excess loans
lied by the bank and constitutes than 90 per
of the total loans. Their general character is
extremely unsatisfactory. The security in almost
every is entirely inadequate, and in most in
stantes constitutes second liens on the property held
as collateral"
The list in question includes the following
loans: Nan-Partisan League, $l48,62426; Con-
surners Stores Company, $l70,000; League Elk
change, $50, 1929; Publishers National Service
Bureau $47,950 90. The last three are cassed as
subsidiary corporations of the Non-Partisan League
and the report cites that the collateral is largely
post-dated checks and notes given by farmers.
which the report says, controlled by an agent
of the Consumers United Stores Company and the
Non-Partisan League

torney General Sheets says, the deposits pro-
tected by the state guaranty of deposits act.

What Other Editors Say
FROM CAMP no CANNERY.

The announcement by R. F. Willingham in
many respects o. the most rapidly developing
young business men in the South, that the quarter
master depot at Camp Wheeler is to be converted
into 100000 canning factory and storage mar
ket is of the most important released since Alex
Block broke the news tie old brewery to be
come the biggest meat packing house in the state.
What the transformed brewery has meant to the
livestock industry in part of the state, the Willing
ham-Streyer plant at Swift Creek will mean to the
specialized crop industry. l~''-
Perhaps no better time could have been
chosen for its initiation than just when the
whole state is waking up to in the face the So
Der fact that the cotton crop has been the biggest
failure in years but also to find the farmer has by
| y means been failure this year. His hogs and
his cattle and forage and food crops are pulling
him through and even making back some of the
money many of them lost in cotton. The great
commercial cannery at Camp Wheeler will make
possible further emancipation from the thralldon
of limited variety in crop production.
An unlimited market is provided for all year
around delivery of every sort of truck and vege-
table growth by the vast storage facilities made
possible by buying and utilizing the great army
warehouses and depots grouped closely together
by the railroad. This means, of course, fairly
stable price for all produce and will protect against
the huctuation from prices at a loss to the grower
about the time all produce is coming to fruit and
the bonanza quotations for the very early or very
late products The canning factory will need every
single pound or bunch of truck it can get for some
years to come if so large an enterprise is run full
time.
This will mean, of course every farm in this
territory will be falling TO realize on It's full orpor
tunitles for prod4 IN if of its land
and the time of those who till it is not devoted each
year toward the cannable specialized crops, No
matter how humble the truck it go in can and
make money for everybody who handles tt
straight on down to the consumer. Canning fac
tories can buy in Ian sc and small quantities. none
too big none too small, when they have adequata
storage. This means that the pig club boys and
the canning club girls turn pretty penny each
year with but ar two extra devoted to get
ting out something for the cash market at Camp
Wheeler.
More and more the reaction of business sense
of esponsibiIity the agricultural needs is leading
all Southern farmers of the all-coton Egypt in
which too often in the past they have had to make
their bricks without straw. The great growth OF
the packing house industry in Georgia in the last
seven eight years is epoch in itself. Now
comes the cannery development on a big business
scale and the story will be repeated. And no
more strategic logical point for the erection of
) the big and parent plant of What will before long
) come to be big state industry could be chosen
than Macon.-Macon Telegraph.

LONG AGO.

THE dear old times of long ago seem far away
and hazy the good old times we used to know
before the world went crazy. We trotted to
our divers tasks contented early risers, and put
our savings down in casks, nor fretted over kais-
ers We followed then the baseball games, and
thrashed them over nightly and to movies took
our danes, when lights were glowing brightly.
All, life was then serene and sweet, pleasant,
cheerful cycle; and no one had it in for Pete,
OF cussed the name of Michael. But now our
RACES never stop. we're hot beneath our collars;
if for an hour | cease to yawp, some othei fell
low hollers. Each voter packs around brick
and brazen kn,cl-J we carry, take fail from
Tom to Dick, and throw some rocks at Harry.
We don't know why our heads are sore, we don't
know why we're ratified, but still rant and
walk the floor, as when the nations battled. Oh,
for the happy golden days, when sat round
and twittered and talked of whiskers we could
raise and not a heart embittered. Oh, for the
bygone peaceful nights, when, done with daily
labors. we smoked our pipes and flew kites,
like sane and kindly neghbors.

a t1vo-hundred- tract of land and lending him

Although these speakers cited examples in the
Middle West, the principle applies equally well to
Georgia and the entire South. What is needed
here, we'll elsewhere is the occupation of the
farms by the who own them. Then they will
be titled better and consequently yield greater;
rural life will become more attractive, and the
county will prosper more abundantly.
Rpal paving will help bring that about in
Sumter county and other sections of Georgia.

Large attention is given to the Amer

these people unsusceptible to the

urday night Shortly before 8 o'clock,
a fire was discovered in barn owned

claimed they saw a man run across
the road toward the railroad track and
they fired three shcts at him. none

The fire had been set in two places
one downstairs in some chan and old
hay and the other upstairs in some
mattresses The blaze was soon ex-
linguished with little damage.
This fire was the fifth attempt 10

the attempts were successful.

at which the previous fires had been
discovered a fire was found to be burn
