IMPROVEMENT
OF BUSINESS
IS REFLECTED
Two Banks in Cavalier and
One in Mercer Counties
Are Involved
EPOSITS S350,0O0.00
Full Liability of Depositors
Is Said Recognized in
ReOpenings
DEPOSITS s350,o00.O0

Reopening Of three banks in North
Dakota, as a part Of the general re-
vival of business in the state, was
announced today by Gilbert Seming-
son, state bank examiner.
The State Bank of Sarles, Cavalier
county. which went on special deposit
on October 16, 1928, was reopened
under the name of the Merchants
State Bank of Sarles. The closed
bank had capital of $25,O0O, surplus
Of $4,000 and deposits of 100000.
The bank, on its reopening, took over
the assets and liabilities Of the
Farmers and Merchants State Bank
of Sarles, which was closed on Mo-
vember 10, last, with deposits Of $685.
600. Depositors' full liability is re-
cognized in the merger, Mr.. Seming-
son said
The First State Bank of Beulah,
Mercer county also reopened. The
bank went on special deposit Decem-
Der 81, last, having capital of $780,
600, surplus of $4,000 and deposits
of $16l, 900. NJ. P. McGregor of Min
neapolis is president and E. A. KEGS
is vice president and manager.
The reopening Of the banks was
made possible by good crops this
fall. Especially fine crops in north
eastern North Dakota have resulted
in the reopening Of many banks
which were closed last year.
With more than 35 closed banks al
ready reopened, the reopening Of
other banks is expected by state Off
cials. The good crop also is expect
ed to boost collections made by re-
ceivers of closed banks, and mater
tally increase the dividends to be
paid depositors. The reopening Of
each bank also has the effect of Re.
ducing the liability Of the Guaranty
Fund Commission.

Sargent county last year won the

BITTER FIGHT
Big Question Is Whether La

Conservatives Are Making
Hard Fight to Gust Mac
Donald Government

London, Oct. 29.-Great Britain's
voters went to the polls today to
choose new parliament to replace
that dissolved at the instance Of
the laborite prime minister, Ramsay
Macdonald, on October 9, following
an unfavorable vote in the Com
mons.
Whether the conservatives can re-
coup their losses of a year ago and
return to the house of commons with
a majority over all other parties,
and thereby put themselves into Of
flee without the assistance of others,
is question no one has any means
of determining, or even reasonably
forecasting, until the returns come
in.
The whole prediction political sit
uation has been made utterly un-
certain by the 1lth hour bursting OF
the "Russian bombshell" with an eff.
feet on the country that cannot be
gauged. Until this "red letter" gave
the campaign orators live topic
the electorate wore an apathetic all
and it was rather the general ex.
pectation that the 3 parties would
return to Westminster in the same
relative positions they held numer'
! ically when the last parliament's

labor second and the liberals third
with the conservatives lacking {
clear majority.
But now nobody can say with any

In any event what happens will not

are entirely unaffected by scream

JOE BERGER
SEEKS PARDON

jamestown, N. D., Oct. 29.-Coun-.

application for pardon for Joe Ber-
ger, sentenced last January to. life
imprisonment for the confessed
murder Of Winfred tookey and
James Keown. Gilman City, Miss
ouri boys here in the early fall Of
1923. Attorney Chase thinks that
Berger must have been encouraged
to send in the application by some
one who wanted to cheer him up
and was unacquainted with the
state laws which provide that = man
sentenced for life must serve ut
least one third Of his life expectan-
cy before pardon can be considered.
Mr.. Chase will answer the appli-
cation with the information that he
does not consider Berger q safe
person to be at large, regardless OF
his crime.
