wilmot to Have National Bank

A national bank is one of the
possibilities for Wilmot in the
very near future and when the
organization is completed, will
be known as the First National
Bank of Wilmot.
Mr.. Peter Lerang, national
bank examiner from Fargo, N.
D., was in Wilmot on Tuesday of
this week interviewing the bust
ness men of the city in regard to
the advisability and feasibility
of establishing national bank
in this city, application having
been made for such an institu-
ton.
Mr.. Lerang, a very pleasant
and thorough gentleman and in
vestigator made a very careful
survey and canvass of the situa-
tion for the national banking de-
partment and will make his re-
port and recommendation, after
which the charter will in all
probability be granted by that
department.
The bank will be capitalized at
$25, 900 and the application is be
ing made by John A. Munro,
Sam C and Warren Jones and
several other local men, also Gold
Bros, of Big Stone, all compe-
tent business men and convers-
ant with the local banking stu
alton, and the needs and desires
of the community.
This will give Wilmot three
banks-two big state banks and
q big national. May they all grow
and prosper.

ton the same welcome we do to

prise that casts its lot with us.

Palmer calls for volunteers to

that his wife and Wadsworth are
in the town together, bids the
man a soldiers God-speed, ano
when he does not return, him
self crawls out into No Mans
Land and brings him in sorely
wounded.
Meanwhile Helene, bravely
sticking to her post of duty, falls
into the clutches of a brutal Ger
man general, but is saved, tempor
arily, when one of the two little
French refugees whom she is be-
friending, snatches the HUNS
pistol from him and she covers
him with her own weapon. All
through the night she sits across

hand holding the heavy wea.
pom at his heart. Just at dawn,

he had left Helene. Husky troop

butts of their rifles and a bullet

his arms about her they watch

time the announcement of the

The picture closes with the
beautifully impressive epilogue
showing the victorious armies of
the Allies returning home under
their own colors, and again in a
