Clarence A. Newman

Clarence Adolphus Newman was
born in Baltimore, Nd, Dec. 27, 1851.
His parents died when he was very
young. He was self-educated and also
supported his younger brothers.
Those left to mourn his loss are:
One son, Jesse G. Newman of Guelph,
N. D.; one daughter, Mrs. Milton
Smith of Crete, Nebr.; one brother,
Harry Newman Of Columbus, Nebr.,
and one sister, Mrs. Harry Anthony
of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Newman had been resident of
Guelph for about fourteen years, and
was known to young and old as Uncle
Bud. His death came as surprise to
all. About four o'clock Tuesday af-
ternoon of last week the death stroke
came, and there was apparently no
consciousness thereafter. News of the
stroke spread rapidly. Relatives hur-
ried to his home at once, but there
could be no last greetings. He was
gone.
The community will miss Uncle Bud
Newham. He was gentle, always
greeting you with smile. May his
departure make US all more mindful
of our responsibility to our loving
Creator, and also our relations to our
fellow men.
Funeral services were held at the
house Wednesday morning at 1890,
and at the close of the service the re-
mains were taken to Ludden enroute
to Nebraska, where they were laid to
rest. Jesse G. Newman and wife and
Mrs. Harry Newman accompanied the
body to it's destination.
Rev. Ira ]. Mcfarland, pastor of
the M. E. church of Guelph, officiated
at the funeral services. *+*

PRIVATE BANKS
WITHDRAWING
Liquidation Continuing Steadily as
Funds Are Gradually Being
Taken Out
J. MANY TREAsURERs QUITTING
Peculiar Situation Shown BY Latest
Statement

Notwithstanding Cne assertion that
the Bank of North Dakota has in
creased it's assets and profits during
the past two weeks, the actual figures
show decidedly different situation.
Continued liquidation of their liabil-
tiles to the state bank on the part of
private financial institutions, heavy
Withdrawals by treasurers Of political
subdivisions, and increased loans to
state industries, are some of the things
shown by the last statement of the
Bank of North Dakota.
The number of banks in the state
with which the Bank of North Dakota
does business through redeposits is
being rapidly reduced, according to a
comparison with previous statements.
On Feb. Is the Bank of North Da-
kota had redeposits in 785 banks. On
March Is this number was reduced to
GAL and on April Is the number was
573. In other words 232 private insti-
tutions have liquidated all their liza
bilities with the Bank of North Da-
kota, and its power to embarrass pri-
vate institutions is fast approaching
the zero mark.
Another phase of the report which
shows that the bank is still engaged
in financing state departments and in
dustries from funds raised by taxation
for other purposes is found in the
items due from state and public cor
porations. Direct loans to the indus
tries, such as the mill and elevator and
the home builders, increased $4,000 in
the month and now total $1,2OO,O0O.
In addition to this, under the head
Of cash items due from the state and
public corporations, there is $155, ,278.-
62 listed on April Is, against $780,
720.37 on March Is. This increase of
$118, ,558.25 represents advances made
by the bank for various purposes.
The record of deposits by public
treasurers is one of the most interest
ing features revealed by the April
report. Notwithstanding the fact that
it has been taxpaying time and the
average public treasurer has more
money than he has had for several
months, there has been decrease in
one month Of 81, ,45O,884.50 in the de-
cosits from treasurers of political SUBJ
divisions of the state.
On March Is, the total deposits by
subdivisions was $7,246,813.65, being
made up of $3,6s7 ,64S.42 in deposits
subject to check and $3,558, ,165.23 in
sinking funds on time deposit.
On April is, these deposits had
shrunk to $5,795 ,929.15. This includ-
ed $2860, 1884 Of deposits subject to
check and $2,935, ,799.61 on time.
This shrinkage, representing as it
does the decision Of public treasurers
to no longer do business with the bank,
is more significant when it is realized
that the deposits by the treasurer. ii
the state increased from s., ,109, AS. n
on March 15 to $3,668, ,072.37 on the
18th Of April.
