 Huntsville. Ala, Sept. 27

Efforts were made by certain mem bers of the city council of Huntsville last night to have the council instruc- the mayor to enforce an ordinance found in the city code which requires that all business be suspended on Sundays except drug stores which must sell nothing but drugs, news stand which must close at 10 a. m. and hotels and restaurants. Mayor Adams declared that if such instruc- tions were given him he would close the town up tight but he urged the councilmen to go slow less unpleasant consequences be incurred. The mat ter of enforcement was passed until the next meeting. It was stated that no new lave is necessary if ma tority of the council wants to see a tight" town here. The old blue law passed many years ago is regarded as quite sufficient since 1t would withdraw every Sunday privilege that 1t is possible for any law to obridge.

comforting spirit Of optimism was manifested by
bankers attending the state convention here Bankers
not usually optimistic unless there is foundation for
such feeling With reports from the Missouri Slope stat
ing that the crops southwest of Bismarck in localities
far ahead of last year. and reports generally from the
state indicating anything but crop failure the bankers may
well feel confident of the future The impressive address
of Major Stanley Washburn showing the potentiaities of
Ignite to western North Dakota ought add the
OF confidence of those residing west of the James river
The resolutions adopted by the bankers indicated de-
sire not to issue preacmens to disturb patient that
appears to be recovering People generally do approve
of branch banking but would rather independent instt

not in any mood to the flow of harvest labor
rupted by destructionists
That the cause of some bank closngs in the state at
least underlying the fact that there too many
banks which well be denied by who will give aten
ton to the situation If three banks attempt to
community where bank will suffice, and in their compe

rate of interest for deposits than with safety,
and increase their overhead expenses to buresome point
it certain that dire results will follow Because bank
failure affects the community than the bankers them
selves it is highly important that sound banking principles
be observed in North Dakota.
Before leaving the visiting bankers paid nice compli-

and The Tribune is glad to add word of appreciation to the
local bankers and others who aided in maintaining the
reputation of the city for generous hospitality.
