LABOR SAVING
A NEW MEuLICKE CALCULATOR
INSTALLED in LAKE COUN-
TY NATIONAL BANK.

Modern banking is pretty largely a
matter of financial stability and COM
putation, the computation end being
the phase that requires the employ
ment of a number of trained persons
and accurate recording machines.
Few banks, if any, r. without the
Burroughs adding machine and many
are now placing in, as the Lake
County National bank has done very
recently "a machine that bids fair to
supercede all mental calculations
that involve the principles of interest
and discount. The Lake County Ma
tional bank has added the Meilicke
calculator, and Mr.. Walden, who
was interview as to the possibilities
of the new machine, speaks with
praise concerning it's accuracy and
ease of handling for the ascertaining
of certain required results. Mr..
Walden kindly demonstrated how to
set the machine, which is more COM
plicated as to the number of grad
uated interest and time scales than
actual machine parts.
This Meilicke calculator is made in
different styles and is, in the main,
simply a light steel body containing
a revolving cylinder that is turned by
a hand wheel at each end-left or
right. Upon the cylinder, which is a
celluloid dial, are rows upon rows of
decimal fraction interest rates and
divisions of time, such as years, days
and months. There are certain in
dicators through which are read the
results required. When the machine
is set for a given principal, having a
given number of years, months or
days during which to draw interest,
at a certain rate, a turn or two of the
cylinder accurately computes the in
terest required. This machine han
dies all such bank computations as
are involved in partial payments,
equated time, true and bank discount
and related problems. The ease with
which it is operated and the time and
labor it saves, makes this device al.
most a necessity in all commercial
institutions where accuracy is The
first consideration and I~abor-savinl
the second.

FROM OVERSEAS
ANDREW QUIST TELLS OF FIGHT
ING IN THE FIFTH DIVISION.

Andrew Quist, writing his folks
from Longnoyon, France, under the
date of November 26, stated that it
looked as If his company would soon
be in Germany and that he would
send his regards from the country
which was their objective V since
he left the states, meaning Germany,
of course He promised to let his
people know more of that country
when he found out more about it.
Enclosed in his letter home was a
copy of congratulations issued by the
commanding officer, Maj. Gen. III. E.
Ely, to the men of the Fifth divi-
sion, who had forced an enemy posi-
ton which was a crossing of the
Mouse river near Brieulles. Great
commentator raj also rendered
them for building bridges and swim
ming the river in the face of machine
gun and artillery fire, and advanc-
ing into enemy territory, thereby un-
covering a flank of the left French
corps, enabling that corps to break
the enemy line of resistance, turning
the position of the German army and
compelling its withdrawal. The COM
handing officer bestowed great
praise upon the Fifth division for
clearing heights across the Meuse
where a technical problem involving
great difficulties obtained.
This division established an impor-
tant b~ridgehead and joined the 32nd
division later. For two days and
nights it held a 20 kilometer front
and both flanks against the enemy.
Afterward it took Monzay and turned
it over to the Goth division. Again
it left its sector Selling Vilosnes, thus
permitting the French division to
cross the Meuse.
Thirty days prior to the armistice
the Fifth division was under shell,
rifle and machine gun fire for 81
days, and for two weeks continuous
ly towns, woods and hills fell to these
victors. One hundred and ninety
square kilometers Of ground were
wrested from the enemy with a pene-
~tration of 20 kilometers through his
lines. Thirty-seven cannon, 461 ma
chine guns and W. 900 prisoners
were taken.
b This vas a brilliant example of
what an American soldier can do in
an emergency when he must go to
the utmost of his power. Every
member should be proud to belong to
a division which so brilliantly ended
its record in the greatest war the
world has known.
These congratulatory words will

BRITISH Plan Z
LARGE Combine
TO DEVELOP OIL
Government Will Back Most
Powerful Enterprise in
History of Oil Indus
try After War.

London. March 2S-(Correspond-
erce ofjthe Associated Press)-Prof-
iting by the costly experience of the
war, when it was compelled TO send
enormous sums into other countries
in payment for petroleum and pc
troleum products, the British gov
ernment has adopted clearly de-
fined oil policy and is already credit
ed with financially backing what is
expected here to develop into the
most powerful oil producing, refn-
ing and transporting enterprise in
the history of the industry.
Stories concerning the govern
ment's policy have been in circula-
ton on \ number of occasions and
recently were revived by reports that
the Royal Dutch-Shell oil interests
were about to take control of the
Mexican Eagle Oil company, an inn
portant member Of the Lord Cow
dray group.
The governments first important
movement, it was stated by author
tiles here, will be the creation of a
permanent ministry, which will be
charged with the task of acting as
petroleum adviser for all depart
ments. 1t will have control over
concessions for the development of
possible oil territory within the EN-
pire and will advise and assist Brit
ish companies or individuals in OBJ
tanning concessions and leases in
| foreign countries, as we'll as help
them to conduct their oil business
in countries outside the empire.
The Importance of the ministry
will be better understood when it is
realized that large part of the I'M
| developed oil territory of the world
lies under British dominion and, ac-
cording to British law, the capital
OF every oil company operating in
British territory must be not less
than 90 per cent British-owned, and
all the control must be in the hands
of British citizens.
The next move in the development
of this policy, it is asserted, is the
combination under the protection of
the government of the most impor-
tant oil companies operating in
| British and neutral countries, if they
are wholly or partly British-owned.
These include such concerns as the
Royal Dutch, the Shell and the
Lord Cowdray interests.
1t recently became known that the
British government was buying the
holdings of British citizens in the
Royal Dutch, the ownership of
which was then conceded to be 90
per cent Dutch and 40 per cent Brit
ish. Accompanying these state
ments were equally interesting stor-
les concerning the Shell Transport
and Trading company's securities,
whose ownership was closely allied
to that of the Royal Dutch.
This Royal Dutch-Shell group
controls immense production in
many lands, including many proper
ties in the Oklahoma, Kansas.

Broad shouldered, blue eyed, light

Martens has the appearance and
bearing of business man or direc-
tor of a great industrial enterprise
From an American standpoint he is

easily but fleetingly as though smiles
should never be given more than

1T is foolish to say that the gov
eminent Of soviet Russia financed
the bolshevik movement in Hun
gary" Representative Martens said.
Money is not necessary to the es-

vism is nothing but socialism put
into practice and the only thing
necessary is to bring it about is con-

The Spartacans, the dispatch adds,
