factory showing the club has made,
is the completion of their new build
ing. The work was started last sum-
mer and was finished late in the fall.
The interior decorating has not been
done because rush of work made it
necessary to put it off tAl spring. =
The addition almost doubles the
size of the building. What was orig
inally the cloak room of the school
house has been moved to the rear of
the building and converted into a
stage. There is full basement I'M

heated by furnace making it com
Portable in all kinds of weather. The
floor is hard wood, excellent for dane
ing. What is more significant is that
the club house is owned by the club.
This is impressed upon any one who
enters the building by neat sign
which was given to the club last week
by Morse and Morse, which reads:
"We own our home, Farmers Pro
gressive Club, Incorporated. This
sign will be placed on post near
the state road in front of the build
ing, as soon as weather permits.
The official dedication of the build

Sank Centre Banks Are On
Solid Financial Footing
Statement of Condition at the Close
of Business, Dec. 81, Highly
Satisfactory

The call for the financial condition
of the State and National Banks at
tn close of business December 81,
1921, found all three of the local
banking institutions in a most credit
able. condition. During these press
ing times great majority of the
banks have large sums of borrowed
mony, but none of the Sank Centre in
stitutions have found it necessary to
seek outside funds to carry on. their
business. This not only speaks well
for the management of the banks but
also insticates a healthy condition for
this section of the state.
At the close of the year the three
banks had total deposits of one mil
lion eight hundred and seven thous
and, seven hundred and eighty four
dollars and thirty nine cents, and
the combined resources two million,
one hundred and twenty eight thous-
and four hundred and sixty-four. dol =
lars and eighty three cents.
Two of the banks have elected their
officers for the ensuing year. The
First National Bank will elect at an
adjourned meeting to be held Mon
day Of next week.
The Herald understands the only
change in the First National Bank
will be the election of Henry Sauerl
to the board of directors.
At the annual meeting of the First
State Bank the old officers reelected
were as follows: president, J. A. Du-

tional church scored a signal success
in dinner which they served other
members of the congregation, prior
to the annual meeting of the church
last evening. 1t has been the policy
i for the ladies to do all of this work
in the past and. the privilege of the
men to- criticise both the food and

might put it across Last evenings
dinner was splendid success, the
men admit it and the ladies were sur

gained that in less than five minutes
from the time the guests were seated
everyone was served with a piping hot
dinners. While the men may be a
strife chesty over their success be-
cause of the snappy service, well
cooked food and the fact that not
dish was broken or anything spill

ture trouble may be in store for
them in their own homes. The av-

st. Paul, Jan. Minnesota will
not lose $1,253, 900 annually in ma
tional bank taxes by the recent rul-
ing of the United States supreme
court. In a Virginia case the court
ruled that national banks should be
taxed on the basis of moneys and
credits instead of shares of stock. If
the ruling were applied to Minnesota
where taxes are based on shares OF
stock, the state would lose more than
one million annually. Egbert Oak
ly, deputy attorney general, today
ruled that the Minnesota method of
taxs if presumed to be valid until

Congress for enactment of a uniform

Every farmer can well produce the

Farmers Bulletin 1885, published by

be killed and DESCRIBES different meth
DDS of curing and canning pork on the
farm. Highly nutritious and palatable
pork products for home use are easily

meat, but large amounts Of fat are

deeply-heshed hogs yield nicely-mar-

will be improved if they are properly
fattened before slaughter, but young
hogs from eight to twelve months old
are best for furnishing the home meat

The bulletin emphasizes especially
the Importance of selecting only
healthy hogs for slaughter and Of

RIGHT TIME TO PLANT CORN
In Central Corn Belt Seed Planted In
April Is Slow in Coming Up and
Is Not Hardy.

There is right time to plant corn,
and usually the better farmers wheth-
err they figure by the calendar, by the
size Of oak leaves, or by the phases
Of the moon. in every neighborhood
know when that right time comes
1t is suggested, however, that more
corn Is planted too early than too late
Corn Is hot weather plant. In the
central corn belt the seed that Is
planted in April is usually slow In
coming up and less hardy than the
seed planted about the middle of May
The distribution Of rainfall affects the
Weld, and this varies from season to
season, but the corn experts say, and
this theory is verified by common ex-
perlence, that the best yields and most
rapid growth may be expected from
the medium planting dates.

ton, D. C. The bulletin also contains
valuable suggestions to growers as to
methods which are profitably followed
where the crop is most successful.
The story Of the tomato Is that of a
delicacy which has lived down u bad
years of effort. OF American origin, it
attracted unfavorable attention first
about 1900, and for long time was
branded as poisonous and consequent
ly avoided. Later designated us the
love apple, 1t found favor with a few
lovers Of delicacies and with growers.
BY 1887 the total pack of canned to-
matoes in the United States was about
100000 cases of "a one-quart cans
each. Now the commercial pack. ex
elusive Of soups. purees, ketchup, an
pulp exceeds 100000 cases Of "A

Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and

tomatoes for canning purposes only
in 1920 was 244745. The yield from
that acreage was 1,003358 tons.
The bulletin follows the methods

successful tomato growing depends
