DeSoto Bank In Bad Condition.

Jefferson County Record.l
The Peoples Bank of De Soto Is
now in the hands of Frank Dietrich,
who was appointed last week by State
Bank Commissioner Hughes, IS q
deputy Commissioner for that pur-
pose. A schedule of the assets of the
Bank of its liabilities is on file in the
Office of the Recorder of Deeds for
public inspection.
There is a shortage in actual assets
of $47, 635. 81 and cash items around
$57,156.S6 that appears doubtful.
There is missing from the banks as
sets many known deeds of trust on
valuable farms for a considerable
sum of money. These deeds are not
among the collateral held by St. Louis
Banks on account OF borrowed money,
but it may be that they have been
directly sold by the bank by order of
it's Board of Directors. Unless they
were sold individuals who had such
Deeds of Trust may be required to
surrender them and borrowers had
better be careful about making pay
meuts Until titles to such paper can be
adjusted.
1t is becoming every day more APP
parent that the bank will not be able
to resume business and that the slow
process of liquidation must take place.
The business of the town and of
the schools are in bad shape as their
funds were in the bank and can only
be paid as dividends are declared.
Everybody hopes for the best, but
even the most optimistic realize that
a bank in liquidation is clog on the
wheels Of progress and seriously af-
fects the business Of the city.

(~Farmington News.)
The Peoples Bank of Bismarck
closed Its doors Tuesday morning and
is now in the hands of the State Bank
Commissioner. The bank was start
ed several years ago, but never did a
very large volume of business. Its
deposits of late have been around
$4,000, only about twice the amount
of it's capital. However, even on this
small business it could probably have
kept going had not one of its GUS
toners been permitted to overdraw
his account excessively which he,
however, covered with notes, but
these the bank had been unable to
realize upon. To add insult to injury,
as it were, he secured an additional
loan which only further embarrassed
the bank.
Bank Examiner Geo. w. Hobbs is
now in charge Of the banks affairs.
We understand he found the banks
accounts properly kept and no evil
dence whatever of any intention of
fraud on the part of any of the banks
officers. An effort is being made to
have the Bank of Bismarck take over
the business of the Peoples Bank and
this will likely be done as soon as the
overdraft and a few small loans OF
questionable value are made good.
T. The closing Of the bank was not
unexpected and has caused nc excite
ment whatever in Jul neighboring
town.

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED
STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says
Prices Charged Are Unwar-
ranted-Makes His Own
Hog Food, with Bet
ter Results.

"That he is all through paying
fancy prices for stock foods and hog
remedies and that he is raising some
of the best hogs eve placed on the
market" was the statement made re-
Gently by E. H. Beckstead, we'll
known hog raiser and authority on
live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
of his neighbors, and have chopped
the market' for several years in
Iowa. He states that for years he
bought high-priced hog foods and
hog remedies, but he is all through
paying extravagant prices for what
he can make himself. He states that
what the hogs need are minerals, and
tells the secret of his wonderful sue
cess by explaining that he takes
about five pounds of ordinary min
eraline (Which is pure concentrated
minerals and cost only a couple OF
dollars) and mixes same with enough
bran or filler to make a hundred
pounds. All hogs, and especially
brood sows, require minerals as they
keep them free from worms, and in
the pink of condition, and are es-
sential to the hogs growth and a we'll
balanced ration. This inexpensive
mixture placed in a sheltered box
where the hogs can get at It as they
need it, will produce far better re-
suls THAN any high priced s~o-called
stock foods.
Send two dollars to The Minerafine
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells st.,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
m%ineraline to make a full hundred
pounds.-Adv.

ening session and "gabfested" until mid
night, resuming the meeting next morn
ing at eight o'clock. The report this
committee returned to the convention was
in the form of a resolution expressing its
belief that the Governor and Legislature
would devise a way of expanding the
money justly and satisfactorily to every
county in the State-a polite way of CALI
ing on them to do the same. 1t is taken
for granted that the Governor will call an
extra session of the Legislature to con.
slider the good road question. The re-
port further recommended that the pres
ident of the convention appoint a COM
mittee of n from each congressional
district in the State to formulate in a re-
port a recommendation to be laid before
the Legislature as a memorial from the
people. This recommendation will first
be presented to a meeting OF Federation
Of Commercial Clubs and acted upon by
that body in a session to be called before
the assembling OF the special session Of
the Legislature. Mr.. V. V. Ing, Of
Wayne county, is the member from the
thirteenth district, having been c
mended by the delegates from this dis
trict. Mr.. Ing will likely call a meeting
OF the citizens Of Iron county very soon
to get from them an expression in con
crete form, possibly in the form of a
resolution, as to how they want the good
roads money expended. We ask the
readers of the REGISTER to respond to
the call when it is made and lend their
presence to the meeting. Missouri does
not undertake every day to expend sixty
million dollars on one thing, and we have
a big and new kind Of job on our hands.
While in Jefferson City l had a pleas
ant visit one noon with my friends, ex-
Warden McClung and family. Called
on DIR. Farmhouse and daughter in their
elegant offices in the capitol, and dined
with him the same evening. Had a
good chat with Representative Black at
his desk in the House. Mr.. Black had
on his desk a large number Of bills that
had been offered to the House. I'm
solicited he took a different kind of a
bill from his pocket and asked me to
spend it on the Home. If the House
accepts his other bills as readily as l
accepted the one he offered me, his
office will be a sinecure.

Good Roads and Sixty Millions.

I received a personal request and Off
cial appointment from Governor Hyde to
attend the annual convention Of the Mis-
souri, Federation OF Commercial Clubs al
Jefferson City, January 26 and ~. 1
reached Jefferson City three O'Clock
morning of the 10Th and found room re-
served for me at the Central Hotel. 1t
was well for me that the secretary Of the
convention had made the reservation, as
hotel accommodations were taxed to the
limit. The convention was attended by
several hundred men and a few women,
representing nearly a hundred counties.
The day sessions were held in the audi
forum Of the Carnegie library, and the
evening sessions in the capitol in the
House ..of Representatives. A strong
program had been arranged and was OPP
Grated with promptness. Good speakers
delivered well prepared addresses on va
rious civic, economic, sociological and
educational themes relating to the well
fare Of community and state.
The chief question before the conven
tfon, however, was how the Legislature
should provide for the expenditure Of the
sixty million dollars road fund to be rails
ed in the bond issue authorized by the
passage Of Amendment No. s, as voted
in the November election. To arrive at
this matter, the chairman appointed a
committee consisting OF one member
from each county. As the writer was the
only member from Iron county, he was
chosen, without opposition, as one Of the
committee. This committee met in the
House Of Representatives after the ev-

ATTENTION is directed to an article
on the first page of this paper taken
from the Chicago Tribune. 1t voices
the same doctrine that l have preach
ed, in season and out of season, for
forty years, expressing the dangers
attending the encroachments of the
Federal government and the gradual
but persistent elimination of the rights
of the States as set out in the Consti-
tuition. All those years the question
was ignored and silent aquiescence
gave quasi Endorsement to the insid-
ious substitution of Capitalization for
home rule. lam glad to see that the
big daily papers, casting aside parti-
sanship, are awaking to the danger;
for the endurance of the Republic is
dependent on this issue. 1t is OBJ
served that every "reform" now ad
vocsted by inconsiderate divines and
the unthinking zealots of their follow
ing is made dependent upon the trans
ference of power to Washington;
therefore, l am no performer" All
the sin induced by the drink habit is
as nothing compared with the politi-
cal evils attendant upon the adop-
ton of the Eighteenth Amendment.

How Big in 5 Years

The paints specified by Fuller are the result of 72 years experience in the making of all kinds of paints, varnishes, etc., for western use.
 We use the best materials, PURE PIO- NEER WHITE LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc and color as others do, but we con- bine them with 72 years knowledge and long-time skill.
 Our whitehead base is finely ground pure white. It must pass through a silk screen with 10000 meshes to the square inch. We use special machines for mixing the materials in scientifically exact proportions.
 So Fuller colors are exceptionally clear toned and Fuller house paints are noted for covering capacity, ease of spread and great durability.
 If you want from five or more years pro- lection for your property investment, get Fuller's western paint for western weather conditions-a paint you know.
