business and popularity OF the FOto5I
State Bank, the stockholders at
meeting called for the purpose and
held Tuesday, Oct. 8, voted to in
crease the capital stock Of the bank
from $25, 600 to $4,000. There were
EOS out of $50 shares of stock repre-
scented at the meeting, and all voted
fayorably for the increase. The Pc
tosi State Bank was organized and
started doing business in 1904 With q
capital stock of $4,000, and in 1918
this was increased to S25, 900. The
new and present increase will give to
depositors increased protection, and
also gives them q bank with a capit&i
as large as any Of the banks at Ian
caster, and other points in the cOun-
ty. The bank is a fixed institution IN
POtOsi and has made marvellous al
Vancement in its nineteen years OF
existence. 1t is on a safe and solid
basis, managed by competent men,
and people who desire to deposit their
money for safekeeping need have no
fears to deposit with this bank. II
was only recently that State Treas
urer Levitan made this bank a state
depository thereby making cre0it
mark to the bank.

1,1O0 Bushels Potatoes From Acres.
Andrew BOde harvested LOO BUSH
els of potatoes from a fve-acre patch
on his farm adjoining the village. The
potatoes were large of uniform, size,
and excellent quality. Mr.. BOde sold
many at rs cents per bushel, but we
understand that the price has gone
down to so cents, and are being sold
by others at that price. Late pOta-
toes as a rule are a bOuntiful crop in
these regions, and those who predict
ed that consumers would have to pay
at least $3.50 per bushels have missed
their prophecy.
