Banks Solid, Reports Banking
Department.

Indiana has not had State bank fail
ure since last July, according to c. W.
Camp, clerk of the banking department
Only one national bank has failed in In
diana in the last six months.
In the United States as a whole more
than 200 banks failed. North Dakota led
the LIST.
Tho last State bank failure in Indiana
was at Milton, in which the cashier was
said to have taken some Of the money
and then committed suicide. This bank
was closed temporarily and when the ac-
counts were checked there was no loss
to depositors.
Savings deposits in State, private trust
companies and savings banks In Indiana
increased during the period of from
June 8, 1920, to Dec. 80 of the same year,
according to the saving deposit figures
compiled by Camp. On June 80 there
was $104, 397 ,913.45 as compared with
$123, sos, 239. 81 on Dec. %.
People have not been saving as much
money SO far this year as they did dur
ing the same period for last year." said
Mr.. Camp. 81 believe that this can be
attributed to the fact that a large num-

saved; now that they are out Of work
they are Withdrawing their savings as

PREDICTS LOWER
COAL OUTPUT
Indiana Production Last Year
Ranked Fifth.

Coal production In Indiana last year
tOtaled 100000 tons, according to Ellis
Searles, editor Of the United Mine Work
ers' Journal.
This was an increase of more than
10000 900 tons over 1919 and was greater
than the average production Of the last
four years.
Production this year will not range
nearly so great, Mr.. Searles predicted, be-
cause many of the mines are closed now
from lack Of orders and due to the in
dustrial depression which reduced con-
sumption by railroads, the greatest
single factor in the consumption OF coal.
Indiana ranked fifth among all States
IN coal production last year. Pennsyl-
vania led with 1e3.000,000 tons Of BIZ
luminous.
The detailed report by counties for
1920 is not yet available, but in 1919 Vigo
County led ell others In the State Then
5,652Jl31 tons were mined in Yigo County.
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-05-20

with Sullivan County running second,
Greene third and Knox fourth.
Throughout the United States, 65656S
tons of soft coal were mined in 1920,
which is greater than the average Of the
three preceding years. This year, how
ever, the production will fall below this
figure, because every coal field Is af-
fected by the economic situation like that
of Indiana, Searles said.
One hundred thousand miners in var
ious parts of the country have not had
employment this year, Searles said, and
their families are destitute. Nearly all
the others are suffering privations, he
added, because they have been employd
only part of the time.

Thin PEOPLE
need BITRO-
PHOSPHATE

All that most weak, nervous, thin,
mentally depressed people need is ten
grains of pure organic phosphate with
each meal for a few weeks.
That's what nerve specialists in London.
Paris and New York are prescribing with
wonderful results.
1t is natural food for nerve and brain
cells and is known to such reliable phar
macists as Haags drug stores as Bitro-
Phosphate. Because Of its power to help
create healthy flesh and strengthen weak
nerves, much of 1t is being sold to people
who are lacking In vitality.
CAUTION; Although Bitro-Phosphate
Is an excellent aid in relieving weak,
nervous conditions, its use is not advised
unless increased weight Is desired.-Ad-

IT MAS A BOX OF
FISH, BUT THAT'S ALL

Now that DIR. Phil Wendell has gone
to aG du Flambeau, Northern Wis
consihj again. it may be expected that
reports will come back of fine catches
that have been made Which is re-
minder that a few days ago doc was
in Yellow stone park and, having
been ifnpertuned by numerous friends
to ''just send me box Of fish," he
felt constrained to meet their re-
quests. especially rs it related to Lou
M. Harvey of the Clifton, and Lew
Doider, Serena farmer Wendell had
provided himself with number OF
post cards and then one day he mail
ed Harvey a card advising him that
he took great delight in sending him
"a box Of fish, which," etc, etc. Great
expectations dominated the minds OF
Mine Host 0f the Clifton. Then came
the day when his box OF fish ar.
rived atithe local express office. and
Harvey had visions of muskies and
other choice piscatorial denizens OF
the deen !. At the express Office was
his box. and he never batted an eye
when he was required to plank down
the greater part of big, round dol
lar d cover the G. %. d. charges
which doc had evidently forgotten to
prepay. But of course, the fish
would be worth the hill. and o, what
feast was in store. In due time the
box was removed to the storeroom
Of the hotel and opened. But the
coveted fish had been so well pack
cd that, they did not appear at once
Wrappings were taken off, and then
more and more Of them, until finally
down In the center Of the large pack
Ing box appeared the fish--a diminu
tive, box Of sardines. Then and there
Harvey vowed solemn vengeance
against that Doc Wendell Nor did
1t, help matters any when numerous
mutual friends would come and pre-
sent post cards, from Wendell saying
in effect: Il am sending Lou Har
vega box of fish. and have included
one for you. Call on him for it,
