Record of Bank.

At a meeting OF the stockholders
of the First National bank held yes
terday afternoon, it was voted to
increase the capital stock Of the
bank from $4,000 to S25O,000 by the
transfer of $15O,000 from the surplus
and undivided profits account OF the
bank to the capital stock account.
This will make the banks state
ment show $250,0OO capital, $4,000
surplus and 100000 of undivided
profits, in addition to which, there
is the stockholders double liability
of S25O,0OO.
The business OF the First National
bank has grown to such an extent
that it seemed wise to increase the
capital in order to properly take
care of it.. The total deposits on
May | were $2,705,O00. The First
National is one of the oldest banks
in the state, having been established
IN 1868. For twenty years past, the
bank has shown steady growth in
deposits and in earnings, the depo-
sits being now FIVE times what they
were in 1901.
While paying handsome dividends
to its stockholders, the bank last
year paid, to it's depositors $63,77S.0O
in interest. so that it is in very
unusual degree community insti-

local business, but has carried the
loans OF the country banks in South
ern Minnesota at times as high as
million dollars. If the Mankato
banks had not been in position to
help the smaller banks in this part
of the state, it is difficult to see
how many of the country banks
could have pulled through. How
ever. they have been carried through
the worst Of the strain and most OF
them are now running with very
satisfactory reserves The record
of liquidation in the last four
months is remarkable.
The stockholders of the First Ma
tional Bank are to be congratulated
on their investment and the com
munity is to be congratulated In
having in its midst so strong an in :
stitution. The First National is now
the leading bank in Southern Min
nesota.

National bank is in the hands OF
the following officers: G. NJ. Palmer

sible that within reasonable length
of time Cow Testing association
could be organized around each OF
the sixteen CO operative creameries
in the county. At the present time
there Is only about one per cent of
the farmers in the county that &C
tually know what their cows are do
