L. c. Reep, of the state bank ex-
aminer's office, said today that a de-
fcit of $4,000 to $4,000 had been
discovered but Will G. Green, states

bank in January 1921, when a check

did not speculate. When the short

in charge of the savings department
window he was given a little time
in an effort to make up the shortage
but failed to do so.

A LITTLE ACTION PLEASE

The Marion Star, Presldent-Elect
Harding's Newspaper, has launched a
suggestion which, if it becomes an
amendment to the Constitution,
will overcome much of the delay
which now hampers national affairs.
The Star suggests that in the fu-
ture, newly elected president be in
augurated as soon as the votes are
counted. That Congress hold its
opening session Immediately after
the Inauguration Of president.
This plan of conduct in our nation
al affairs would render a remarkable
service to the people of the United
States. 1t would give us action and
immediate service where under pres
ent conditions we have only delay,
inaction and waste.
There is probably no better ex-
ample of the need of such change
than the situation under which the
American government is laboring at
the present time.
Last November, Mr.. Harding was
elected president of the United
States. His election was unlver-
sal protest against the Wilson adj
ministration. The people wanted a
change and they wanted it quick. but
did they get it?
Next March four months after he
was elected, Mr.. Harding will take
over : the >.re;ns of administration.
Congress viii: NOT tneet'.ih regular
session until next fan, "a year after
it: has beer: elected. unless called in
special Session by the. new presadent
During the remaining mbnths: OF
the President Wilson's term many
things of vital Importance to the ma
ton may arise to be handled by an
! administration in which the ma
ton has not faith and little sympathy
an administration which the people
have condemned.
The proposed amendment is tina,
the new president Immediately take
office and Congress, the newly elect
ed congress, meet at once in regular
session.
The proposition is fair one. II
teens with the desire of the Amer
can public for action. Many Of the
great problems of the day could, II
this way, be met and overcome ane
the delay and red tape system OF tne
present form of government be done
away with.
The plan of the Star is pleasing
and fair. Such an amendment
should be drafted and adopted at the
! next session of Congress.

sloyenly and poor citizens at best.
Spain had done nothing to civilize
the people of the islands.
With the coming of Americans to
Manila a new era for the islanders
opened up. The people were well
treated; fed; clothed and taught the
first principles of civilization.
Schools were established and the en-
tire country renovated at great ex-
pense to the United States govern
ment. Today they are enjoying the
privileges never enjoyed under Span
ish tyranny. They are safe from in
vasion while the Stars and Stripes
flies over them.
On the other hand, the islands have
contributed little or nothing to the
United States. They act as a coal
ing station for our ships in the east
ern hemisphere that is all. 1t would
be a financial saving for the United
States to give the PHILIPPINES their in
dependence, still, would not they i'm
mediately become the prey of anoth-
er and less scrupulous nation?
American civilization must be con-
tinued in the PHILIPPINES. AS pro-
tectorate they would cease to be-
come a, bill of expense and at the
same time rest secure against
foreign attack. The matter will prob
ably be settled by Mr.. Harding.

YOUR HOME TOWN

Did 10 uever stop TO consider what
an ex@.t nally1 good town you live
If you have not, just sit down and
review the situation in Sank Gen.
tire. Compare this city of ours with
others cities of its size you know of
and then answer for yourself. When
you have summed up the whole sit
uation you will be surprised that
you have not given the matter pre-
vious thought.
Where is there a city in Minneso-
to with as excellent and bright an
outlook as Sank Centre. This is an
ideal community, and one of the fin
est places in the world to live.
The Sank Centre schools, first of
all, are exceptionally above the aver
age. They are as complete as most
city schools and give the children of
the city the best of advantages along
early educational lines
The churches of the city are
exceptionally strong. Both the Catho-
lie and Protestant can find an ade-
uuate church home in Sank Centre.
Our theatre only one, perhaps, but
it is a modern and well conducted
show house, above the average small
town theatre and offers excellent
amusement programs.
The banking facilities here are
very good; Sank Centre merchants
offer as good an outlay as can be
found and in the community itself
there exists a spirit well worth while.
Fraternal organizations too, pros
per in Sank Centre. TIE Masonic
and the Odd Fellow lodges and all
other fraternal organizations find
prosperity here. The Masonic Temple
here, is one of the finest monuments
to the craft in the state of Minneso-
ia; the Odd Fellows will rebuild their
hall next spring and other organiza-
ton are fast improving local condi-
tions.
Then too there is the library. AS
modern and we'll equipped an edifice
as any in the country Of its size. In
the summer time Sank Centre is a
Garden of Eden with it's Sank Lake
and Fairy Lake.
There is only one feature lacking
here and that is want of manufac-
turing institutions which will De
forth coming in time.
We may be a bit chesty, but the
Herald is proud of Sank Centre
What do you think about it?

in the body of men whom Mr.. Hard
ing will choose to aid him in con-
Quoting the business of a nation.
Although the appointments have
not as yet been made, the general
understanding is that Mr.. Hughes
will be Secretary of State; and the
rest will be fully as strong men.
The announcement that Vice Pres
ident Coolidge would sit in all cabi-
net meetings, is exceedingly graft
flying to the public. Mr.. Coolidge,
as "Second in Command" will be
given a voice in the nations work, a
situation which has never been deem
ed necessary in the past.
In fact the program adopted by
Mr.. Harding appears to bristle with
sound and practical principles. 1t is

view of the atics of the past eight

NOT so noteworthy.

Some men take great deal of credit
to themselves for having worked for
all they have. 1t is creditable, to ba
sure, but it isn't so unusual that Il
need attract general attention. It is
the common way, and probably the
best. Occasionally, a man discovers q
gold mine, or realizes on the death Of
rich aunt, but they are not usually
as useful citizens nor as happy al
those whose wealth depends on some
thing more than luck or the chance Of
birth. And working for what you
Eave is also the only available means
open to the average man.-Arkansas

PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE

One of the very first questions to
be put before the new Harding ad-

This matter of PHILIPPINE indenpend-

United States purchased the islands
from Spain. They were not taken
by conquest but purchased at a price
of $20,000,000. When taken over by
