SOUTH DAKOTA
BANK DEPOSITS
INCREASE $172, ,449.OOO FROM
1918 TO THE BEGINNING
OF 1921.

Pierre, February 10.-Enormous
growth of the wealth of the state in
the last five years is shown by sta
tistics prepared by 1. d. Aldrich, the
commissioner of immigration, from
the bank deposits of the state.
Bank reports have nearly tripled
in size from 1915 to 1920, a period
of five years
In 1920 the bank deposits in
the state were 500, as
compared with $99,608,600 in
1915, an increase of s172,449,-
900. Thes figures show that
South Dakota's wealth is not en-
tirely confined to land, cattle
and grain, but that the people
of the state have converted these
into cash during the war per-
iod.
Minnehaha county showed a gain
in bank deposits during those years
in proportion to that of the rest of
South Dakota holding first place a.
mong the counties of the state. In
1915 the bank deposits in Minnehaha
were $11, ,015, 100, but in 1920 this
amount was increased to $29,294, 800
an increase of $18,279,8OO.
Sphinx county made the most re-
markable growth of any in the state
jumping from eighth place in 1915
to second in 1920 In 1915 the de-
posits in Sphinx amounted to S2,832,-
100. and In 1920 the amount was in
creased to s10,723,300.
Brookings county held third place
in the state, Brown county fourth,
and Union fifth.
Todd, one of the newly organized
counties, had no bank deposits in
1915, but in 1920 had $4,000, the
smallest amount in any of the coun-
ties of the state

RUSSIAN QUESTION
BLOCKS D|sARMINC
BRITISH WAR CORRESPONDENT
SAYS ENGLAND NOT IN RACE
FOR NAVAL SUPREMACY

Washington, Feb. 1O.-Great
Britain will not undertake a race
with the United States for seapow-
er, Sir Philip Gibbs, British war
correspondent, declared today be-
fore the House naval committee.
England hasn't the money, he said,
and most Englishmen do not regard
the American navy as "a menace"
Sir Philip said that before any
agreement for disarmament could
be reached by the principal powers,
the Russian question would have to
be settled and the Russian people
drawn back into the family of ma
tions."
Representatives of the Russian
soviet government should by all
means be included in any conference
to discuss disarmament. Sir Philip
declared. He characterized the Rus
sian red army as "'the greatest mill
tary menace in the world"
There is a spirit of revolt, entire
ly apart from bolshevism in Europe
today because of the general fear of
another war, the witness declared,
adding that the people felt that they
had been betrayed in the last war,
because they had not been told that
it was a war to end war
An invitation from the United
States for a disarmament conference
would meet with the approval of
most of the people of Great Britain
Sir Philip said, although some Sec
tions are opposed to the general
idea of disarmament.

he issued false checks in amounts
ranging from $40 to 500. the total
reaching more than $500.
Once in a while he would be
caught, but his father would make
good the check and nothing further
would be done, detectives say.
Then Blake ST., began writing
checks, it is charged, in small
amounts. He soon swindlod down
town department stores out of $500
they declare.
Fate brought both to the notice
of the police the same day. Now
they are in jail.

ALL ABOUT COTTON

After the slump of last week, the
market today had the coton experts
in better humor. The market opened
at a slight adance, and kept advanc-
ing all day. January futures closed at
1850 against 1896 last Saturday.
March futures were up at the close
43 points over Saturdays closing fig
ures. Spot cotton in New York ad-
vanced 70 points.
The news from the spinning CEN
ters and from other markets was en-
couraging, more so than for week,
and with developments at Paris where
the Reparations Commission is at
work, and a better spot demand
which is now looked for, there may
be better news in the market.
The ginning figures came out today
showing the amount of cotton ginned
to Jan. 18th. The figures were l2,-
O16, 900 bales. Texas has ginned g.
s62,254 bales to that date which lis
nearly a million and a half more than
the ginnings to the same period last
year.
South Carolina definitely takes its
place as the second to the largest
cotton growing state in the union,
having passed Georgia, and standing
now next to Texas.

GET LESS. LIQUOR

Washington, Jan. 23.-Whiskey
consumption in the United States
decreased from S9,641,9 1886 gallons in
1917 to 5,5s1,553 gallons in 1920,
the first year of prohibition under
the constitutional amendment, ac-
cording to figures announced today
by the Anti-Saloon League of Amer
lea. Consumption of alcohol, in the
same years, decreased from 71,081,-
l21 gallons to 22,639,355 gallons, the
figures showed, while beer consump-
ton dropped from 6O,817,379 barrels
9,231,2SO barrels.
"Granting that many million gal
lonsof alcohol and whiskey with
drawn for non-beverage use have
been diverted to beverage use," said
an accompanying statement by the
league, land granting that many mil
lion gallons of beer have been made
and consumed illegally, a conserva-
tive estimate shows that the people
of the United States have saved over
one billion dollars previously spent
for beverage intoXicants."
