Slackening In Demand.

PROVIDENCE, r. L., May "a rep
resentatve oi one 6f the largest WOODEN
concerns in New England said that the
officials Of the American Wooden company
had decided 20 shut down its mills in the
event that the textile workers present
further demands for Increased wages. If

iii Rhode Island will follow suit.
Although it is sa ID no general announce
ment to that effect would he made, it is
known that wooden manufacturers through
out the state are planning to retrench
because of the slackening of demand and
the lack of raw materials Most of them
are now working up goods from materials
already on hand, and viii use up the
present stocks only.
| 1t is reported that several of the larger
mills will cut down their working force
about the middle 4 this month, which
means that hundreds of operators will be
laid off, or shut down their plants al
together until the market GENES more

THEIR FUTURE UNCERTAIN
"A compromise offer was made
permitting men to remain in the
hospitals more than II months
where but two or three months
additional treatment would be
required for complete recovery.
This showed a lack of appreci-
alton for the real situation. 1t is
not so much the care of those
confined by temporary illness that
concerns us as the future of
thousands of incurable who would
be returned to civil life with in
adequate means of support and
inability to earn a livlihood for
themselves"

So FAR IS A RANK FAILURE

that they cannot expect the ap.
praisal until spring and even then
it will take some time to grind
the loan through the transit de-
partment, whatever that may be,
and through the auditing depart
ment.
THERE IS A RUSH, YOU SEE
Director Gen. Cathro further
strengthens your doubts as to his
ability and intention to make
these loans when he admonishes
farmers of the state who want
loans that they must not become
impatient if their letters of in
quiry are not answered.: that OW-
ing to the great rush of business
under this farm loan department,
and the want of space at the
bank, he has been unable to am
| swer their letters.
A casual study Of the bank
statement published by Director
Gen. Cathro explains why he is
not rushing these loans. The
only available money to so loan
is the deposits which amount to
something less than $1,000, 600.
The cash on hand amounts to
Sl2,l54,OOO. To make farm loans
for which applications have al
ready been made would only leave
A,000,00O of the public funds. At
the rate the applications are COM
ing in, this would be entirely ex-
hausted by March |. In other
words, the bank cannot make
farm loans until they can sell
bonds.

the bank is virtually ott OF COM

Making one and six.tenths per
cent of the farm loans for which
it has applications is the record of
the farm loan department of the
Bank of North Dakota during the
first six months of its existence.
The department has received ap-
plications for 1858 loans, aeere-
eating $8,Ol5,99 and has actually
made loans to the amount of
Sl27,6l3.65.
Such is the information con
tained in bulletin No. 5, issued by
the Bank of North Dakota on Dec.
Is, and containing a statement of
the condition of the bank at the
close of business on Dec. Is.
IT NEEDS EXPLANATION
Evidently Director Gen. Cathro
feels that this showing needs a
word of explanation. He there
fore points out that the farm loan
department could not make loans
until he had perfected the organ
ization of a transit department
and a proper auditing system. 1t
appears that these two necessary
factors in making farm loans have
been properly perfected, and
henceforth loans will be speedily
made.
The assurance of Director Gen.
| Cathro, however, is not convin.
cling and one has a feeling that
he does not expect to make very
many farm loans. This feeling is
strengthened when he points out
that owing to the snow and cold
weather appraisels will be post.

perfectly ali right for the farmers
