house can be closed up, if the loyalty
to the PlentyWood Mill is hundEad

Plentyweed -four and should make it
his duty to see that his neighbor does
the same thing. The farmers should
stand by the mill as il gives them ths
chance to bring their wheat into the
mills and have it ground for a sfaas
Of the wheat, doing away with tie
need of money for the transacti1u
and thus assuring the farmer and hls
family of something to eat that awesssa
tors cannot take away from them.
But the mill in order to run must find
a market for its mill feed toll and
it's flour toll which it must convert
into cash. To do this the mill must
have the cash trade of the villages
and cities in the county and the cash
trade of the farmers who have not
taken wheat to the mill for flour. Ii
the mill can get this trade, 1t can
thrive and operate the wear around.

State, 81 National

Washington, April during the
calendar year 1921, a total of 52s
state and private banks in the eoun.
try were closed according to state
ment issued by Comptroller Of the
Currency Crissinger, summarizing
bank failures for the year. Moreov-
er, he added, 1853 of these banks were
able to reopen or otherwise liquidate
their liabilities.
The liabilities Of the other $50
banks, he reported, aggregated ap-
proximately 500, ,000, 900, making the
average per bank about $263, 900.
The southern geographical division
Mr.. Crissinger declared, was the most
seriously affected in respect to the
number of bank failures and the vol
une Of liabilities, there being 131 fail
ures with liabilities totalling $27,-
100000 in that section.
Failures in the western states, he
continued, numbered 122 and the lia-
bilities exceedd s16,000,0O0. In the
middle states the number of failures
was so and the reported liabilities
So. $4,000. Failures to the number
Of 43, with liabilities exceeding $13,-
100000, occurred in the Pacific states.
d Only FIVE banks failed in the east
ern states with liabilities of S3,600,-
OeO, Mr. Crissinger, said and four in
tie New England states, whose lia-
bilities were SIT, zoe, 900.
The calendar year 1921, Mr.. Cris-,
singer said, was the third most dis
astrous year with respect to the

III the history Of the national bank
ing system, there being 81 national

s77,367. The most disastrous year in
his respect was 1898, when IS fail
lres occurred, and the next was 1897,
rhen there were 38 failures.
