IN CASH AND CHECKS
DATED "OCTOBER 2l"
Resolution for Impeachment
of LANCER and Others
Expected Today.
Ask Subscriptions of $40.

The plan for reorganizing and
refnancing the Scandinavian-
American bank includes the re-.
quest for subscriptions of $210
from league members. This is to
care for the proposed increase of
$4,000 in the banks capital
With an equal sum in the surplus
making total desired by the
league leaders of about half a
million dollars. This money has
to be raised in the next two or
the 1910 subscription, 800 goes
to the capital account, another
500 to the surplus, So as requir-
ed by law to the .State Bank
Guaranty Fund and So for neces-
sary expenses for re-financing.
This places about 200 shares on
sale, each subscription calling for
the same amount to go to the sur
plus as is paid for stock in the
bank.

The embattled farmers are here, but
their numbers are not so great as the
league leaders had anticipated.

written by A. C. Townley and handed
down by word of mouth to the ''Sons
of Toll" They stood in front of the
Scandinavian-American bank building
for an hour or two as though antici-
pating a speech of Bishop Bill
Lemke. But the bishop never came
out and the building didn't fall, so
there was no excitement there
Moore Busy Man.
During the morning H. A. Moore,
North Dakota secretary for the league.
was busy at headquarters taking in
cash or checks dated today to meet
post-dated checks held by the Scan
dinavian-American bank. Leaguers
have designed an artistic check for to-
days pay upl party. /. The N. P. goat
pfunging due south toward the dol
lar sign is printed thereon in appro-
riately red outlines and a picture OF
the "We'll Stick" button also is there.
The dotted line for the We'll Stick
signature is fianked with this state
lnent with this check we repudiate
the charge of VIM. LANCER, ct al"
No post-dated checks go. Despite
the fact that Townley says they are
good collateral they are not recog-
nized today. They've got to be back
ed up with good hard cash" else the
scheme of reorganizing and financing
the bank will fail.
