N. LEAGUE BANK CLOSED
Big Loans Made on Inadequate Sc
curity to Four Organizations

Dig Loans Made on Inadequate Sc
curity to Four Organizations
Fargo, n. D., Oct. 2.-The Scandi-
navian-American bank of Fargo, with
liabilities aggregating more than ST.
100000, was today declared insolvent
by the banking board of North Dako-
ia. It was ordered closed and placed
in the hands of temporary receiver.
The bank has an authorized capital of
$4,000 and surplus of $4,000.
In its last statement of condition
the bank showed total resources and
liabilities of $1,5O9, 2O9.68, which
have since been increased to over ST.
100000, according to the report filed
with the state banking board by E. l..
Sheets, as assistant attorney general,
and by Deputy Bank Examiners Hall,
Dorson and Ingemon.
Citing list of loans aggregating
$734,194.82, the report to the bank
ing board by the examiners says:
The above represents the excess
loans carried by the bank and consti-
tutes more than so per cent of the
total loans. Their general character
is extremely unsatisfactory. The Sc
curity in almost every case is entirely
inadequate, and in most instances,
constitutes second liens on the prop
erty held as collateral"
The list in question includes the
following loans: Non-Partisan League,
$148, 824.26; Consumers Stores
Company, $4,000; League Ex-
change, $66,182.28; Publishers Ma
tional Service Bureau, $47,95O.O6.
The last three are classed as subsid-
larry corporations of the Non-Partisan
League, and the reports cite that the
collateral in largely post-dated checks
and notes given by farmers, which,
the report says, are controlled by an
agent of the Consumers United Stores
Company and the Non-Partisan
League.

A serial story about the so-called
Non-partisan League, written by one
of Herr Townley's c1everest publicity
experts, is now running in the esteem
ed Appeal to Reason, a page being
devoted to the subject each week. The
September 9Th Appeal, in glaring red
headlines, announced that the Sep
TENDER 9th. number will be a Kate
O'Hare Edition, the object being to
convince the Appeal readers that
Townley's lady friend and associate
committed no felony when, in her
speeches in North Dakota in support
of the Non-partisan League, she said:
Mothers of American soldiers are
nothing more than mere brood sows;;"
and that: american soldiers who go
across the water to fight are fit only
for fertilizer for French SOIL" Utter
ly failing to gain the support of
single reputable Kansas newspaper,
Townley is now relying on his first
love, the esteemed Appeal, to put
across his destructive propaganda in
the Sunfower State. Among the
former Appeal men and women who
now constitute the leadership of the
Non-partisan League, or who have
assisted in perfecting the North
Dakota Socialistic venture, are the
following: Arthur LeSueur, Kate
Richards O'Hare, Walter Thomas
Mills, Mrs. Arthur LeSueur, George
Brewer, Fred Warren, and swarm
of lesser lights.

Rural Carrier Examination

The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an exam
ination for the County of Ellis, Kan
sas, to be held at Hays, on November
8, 1919, to fill the position of rural
carrier at Ellis, and vacancies that
may later occur on rural routes from
other post Offices in the above-men-
toned county. The examination will
be open only to male citizens who are
actually domiciled in the territory of
post Office in the county and who
meet the other requirements set forth
in Form No. 1877. This form and
application blanks may be obtained
from the Offices mentioned above or
from the United States Civil Service
Commission at Washington, D. C. APP
plications should be forwarded to the
Commission at Washington at the
earliest practicable date.
Admission of women to this exam
ination will be limited to the widows
of U. S. soldiers, sailors, OR marines,
and to the wives of U. S. soldiers,

The power house repairs are about
completed. New, extra heavy steam
head line has replaced the old one.
Oil pump has been reinstalled. The
brick boiler walls in the two new
boilers torn down and rebuilt and
safety ratings placed around the en-
CINE and switch board in the engine
room.
Sidewalk building is progressing ra-
pidly, one cross walk and seventeen
private walks staked and built this
month.
In anticipation of the coal shortage
we are now protected as we have on
hand at the plant 800 tons of coal and
10000 gallons of fuel oil, and here at
the City Hall, rs tons of coal It is
not our intention to use the coal at
the plant at the present time but we
are carrying it as an insurance
against shortage this winter.
I have received notice of the meet
ing of the League of Kansas Munich
palities at Atchison, October 8, 9, 10.
In this connection I feel that it is of
vital Importance that one or two
members of this Commission attend
this meeting. Hays is fast growing
into a city and we have hundreds of
young men and women attending our
colleges demanding protection. l feel
that we should consider the broaden
ing of our health department to take
care of milk and meat inspection. We
should also consider better fire pro-
lection and l know of no place where
we could get more complete informa-
ton at less expense than in this meet
ing of the State League of Municipal
tiles. For this reason 1 recommend
that the Commissioners appoint one
or two members to attend this meet
ing.

ceipts and disbursements for the
month of September:
