ABARNESC0UNTY
BOY MAKES GOOD

Frank Kramer, who was born in Ho-
bart Township, and was educated IN
our public schools, is one of the many
Barnes County boys who have made
good. He was selling tickets at the
local N. P. depot where his unfaillng
courtesy to the public, his industry
and devotion to duty, and his incllna-
ton and ability to save from his small
salary. came to the notice of Mr.. Jas.
J. Farley. who offered Frank subor-
dinate position in the Marion State
Bank Of which Mr.. Farley is Presl-
dent. That was less than five years
ago. Four years ago Mr.. Kramer was
made cashier and managing ofhcer OF
the bank, position which ne still
holds. In this capacity he is ably as
sisted by Mr.. Lewis Baertsch, another
homegrown product, having lived at
Marion since childhood. Their sue,
cess in their work and the success OF
the bank itself is indicated by the fol-
lowing article cl the Marion Sentinel:
The Marion State Bank Cuts Melon
"Shareholders in the Marion State
Bank received on January 1st a 100
per cent stock dividend in addition to
the usual cash dividend. The stock
dividend was paid out Of surplus and
undivided profits which had accumu-
lated and been set aside by the direc-
tors during several years past, since
the present management acquired con-
troll. This gives the bank larger
capital stock than any other bank on
the Casselton- Marion branch. Be
sides the 100000 capital, the bank had
at the beginning of the year $3,Ooo
surplus and undivided profits Of ap-
$4,000, total of S38,ooOJ
working capital.
The bank has pursued conserva-
tive policy, incl,Iling consefvatism
in the distribution of earnings in div
idends. Much the greater part OF ITS
earnings have been left in the bank
for the use and benefit of its custo-
mers, and these accumulated earnings
have now been transferred to capital
stock account and Distributed pro
rata to the shareholders, who natural
lv look upon their new stock certlfl-
Gates as very acceptable New Years
gifts.
In the spring the directors con-
template remodeling the bank interior
to provide more room and better ac-
,ommodations for their customers:
The banks business has grown and
it's customers have so increased IN
1umber that it's present quarters are

handling it's business.

DON'T RELISH THE
WHIPPING POST

Among the other reasons why Ed
ward Norris, Minot man found extra
ditable before a U. S. commissioner at
Fargo charged Of having held up and
robbed wholesale liquor establish
ment at Gainsboro, Sask., does not
want to go to Canada is because the
provincial statutes in Saskatchewan
provide whipping for prisoners found
guilty of robbery. The whipping post
IS located at the Regina penitentiary
and if Norris is found guilty ne will
be subject to as many lashes as the
presiding Judge may prescribe.
Norris will be taken to Canada as
soon as the state department issues a
warrant. He was denied writ OF
habeas corpus in the o. 5. court here
Saturday.

BUSY YEAR AHEAD
FOR CLUB in 1921

The regular monthly meeting of the
Commercial Club was held Wednes-
day evening. Regular routine busi-
ness was disposed Of and the club
took up the proposition Of reorganiz-
ing Company G. Major Ritchie was
invited in, to talk over the proposition
with the club. 1t was asked that a
committee of three be appointed to
committee, in order to again reorgan-
work with Mr.. Ritchie and soldiers
ize the company. The president ap-
pointed the following members of a
committee to cooperate with the SOL
dier's committee: N. L. Smith, F. w.
Heidel and T. Melvin Lee. A meeting
will soon be arranged between that
committee and the soldiers represen-
tatives, at which time plan will be
formulated for an active campaign for
members.
A brief review of the history of the
company would disclose that it was
organized in 1881; that its members
were ready for the Indian calls, the
Philippines, on the Mexican border,
and took an active part in the world
war. Valley City does not want to
lose this splendid company, and lit
tie cooperation will avoid it. 1t is in
timated that some of the cities in the
state may lose their companies, but
old Company G has too good record
for Valley City to let interest lag, and
cause officials to withdraw the COM
pany from this city.
Coach Fagin of the High school ap-
peared before the club, and made
known a plan whereby the school has
made it possible for business mems
meeting once a week, to participate IN
such studies or athletics as might be
desired. The president appointed 5;
A. Zimmerman, G. E. Hilborn, and
A. C. Thorkelson to confer with the
coach on the matter, and aid him IN
his undertaking.
Secretary l. J. Moe called the clubs
attention to the work ahead of it in
1921. Briefly outlined, it was: ..
Cooperstown branch proposition
should be taken up.
Night camp for auto tourists. should
be established.
Airplane field must be arranged for:
Club should boost for the Good
Roads movement.
Greater cooperation should be man
ifested toward the Valley City Chau-
tauqua. =,
Valley City churches should awaken
and urge business men to aid them
in getting a proper building, wherein
the young people could get together,
A photographer should be engaged
to take pictures of Valley City beauty
spots, and it's educational, religious
and business buildings. This would
aid in bringing immigrants here, and
also advertise the city.
The year 1921 should be busy year
if these different propositions are
put over. III
The annual meeting of the club will
he held at the Rudolf Hotel February
8. A banquet will be served.

PROHIBITION HITS
CITY FINE REVENUE

Pessimists attention.! Some of you
are claiming that prohibition has had
no effect in this country, and that
there are just as many drunks as be-
fore. All we'll and good. Are you
willing to take the records of the po-
lice court of Valley City as evidence.
During the year of 1920 the city COL
lected the measly sum of $276.5O in
fines, besides costs. This is small
compared with previous years, when
fines sometimes about double that
amount were collected. According to
Police Commissioner label a drunk
q day used to be the average. Now
when one is hailed into court, he is
kept a few days as a souvenir. The
police are also very careful to have it
marked on the records who catches
each drunk, since they have become
so scarce.
determination of this particular
brand Of people is looked for within
few years. The last one caught will
perhaps be put in a corral, that future
generations may look upon him.

number of persons brought into court
