Anton Nathe, IS,
Died. on Monday
Deceased Had Lived In Western
Stearns Since 1865-Funeral
This Thursday Morning q

Anton Nathe, 65 years old, a
resident of western Stearns coun-
ty for nearly half a century and
respected citizen of Sank Centre
since 1918, succumbed to an at
tack of apoplexy Monday after
noon at 4:45, while working
about his home on North Birch
street. Mr.. Nathe was in general
good health and death cast its
shadow upon the Nathe home very
Unexpectedly and was shock to
the entire community.
The deceased was born in Mil
waukee, Wis, Nov. 1S, 1861. In
November 1868 he moved with his
parents, to Western Stearns coun-
ty, settling at Metre Grove. In
1883 his father purchased a farm
for him two and one-half miles
west of Greenwald, which he moy-
ed onto in the fall of the same
year.
On Feb. 26, 1884 Mr.. Nathe
was united in marriage at Sank
Centre, to Miss Susan Minette of
this city. They resided on the
farm until the sprin g of 1918
when the farm was sold and they
moved to Metre Grove where they
resided forsix months after which
they moved to Sank Centre. Mr..
Nathe purchased the beautiful
home in which he and Mrs. Nathe
and the younger children have liv-
ed the past eight happy years un-
til the grim reaper called the be-
loved husband and father.
Mr.. Nathe was a likeable per-
sonage and a friend to all who
knew him. He possessed a kindly
and cheerful disposition. While
living on the farm near Metre
Grove, Mr.. Nathe was president
of the Metre Grove Creamery for
over a decade. Before the organ
ization of this creamery he was
one of the staunch promoters and
through his efforts the establish
ing was largely due. He contin.
ued to be "a trustee of the school
district, in which he lived as long
as he was on the farm. He was

BANK GUARANTY
LAWS UNWORKABLE
Commissioner Veigel Takes
Strong Stand Against
Insurance Proposals
INCREASE In CAPITAL
Believes Raise In Minimum
Would Give Depositors
Protection Desired

A. j. Veigel, state commits
sioner of banks, takes a strong
stand against bank guaranty leg
islation in his biennial report, fl
ed with Governor Theodore Chris
tianson. Experience of other
states that have tried such systems
demonstrations that such remedy
is unsound, he says.
Minnesota has had too many
banks, especially small ones, Mr..
Veigel declares. The institutions
that have weathered the troubles of
the last five years are generally in
sound condition, he says, but the
burden of bank guaranty assess
ment would be serious, especially
now when they are just working
out of their difficulties.
The most important change in
the banking laws favored by the
commissioner is an increase in
the minimum capital require
ments for new banks.
"The minimum capital, which
is now $4,000, should be in
creased for new banks to $4,000,
and more in larger Cities" Com
missioner Veigel says. "We urge
you to recommend this increase to
the legislature.
"Such law will give the deposi-
tors additional protection and
will prevent the organization If
some small banks by persons who
are not financially able to protect
the depositors.''
p The bill to be introduced this
winter will set the following min
imum capital requirements for
new banks:
Cities of 5000 population or
less $25, 200 capital.
Cities of 5000 to 10000 popu-
lation, $4,000.
Cities of 10000 to 100000 pop
ulation, $50, 06S.
Cities of over 100000 popula-
ton, 100000.
In addition to this capital stock,
each bank opening would be COM
PEELED to have a 20 per cent sur
plus.
Only one new bank has been
chartered by the department in
two and a half years. That was
for the new community of Hol-
landale. There have been SO
banks closed, and of this number

1927 Auto Registration
Will Begin Next Tuesday
Early Applicants Will Get Plates
Promptly-Local Banks, Deal
ers, Supplied With Blanks

Registration of automobiles for
1927 will begin Jan. 2. Mike
Holm, Secretary of State, during
the past week has sent application
blanks to all banks, all registers of
deeds, all automobile dealers and
to large number of attorneys,
notaries and others. These per-
sons have also been supplied with
the 1927 rate books, so that an
automobile owner can go to any
one of these places and find out
how much his make and model of
car will cost for registration. If
he has his 1926 registration card
or proper bill of sale, in case of
a new ar,-all he has to do is to
fill out the application blank and
send it in with the old card and a
check or money order for the right
amount.
Mr.. Holm says that during the
first part of January he expects to
be able to send out plates the
same day applications come Sin,
provided they are accompanied by
money orders or drafts. In case
of personal checks, plates are held
few days until the checks are
cleared through the banks. Those
who wait until February may have
to wait two or three weeks or pos
sibly more before they get their
plates. The time for paying the
tax without penalty expires Feb
ruary Is, and so many people wait
until the last few days before MAX
ing application, that there is US
ually great congestion of mail
in the office.
The license plates for 1927 will
be pea green letters on a bottle
green background, for passenger
cars, white on tuscan red for
trucks and trailers, vermillion on
light gray for dealers plates, and
lemon yellow on granite for tax
exempt cars.

Ruling by Water,

Consumers, are However, Given 80
Days to Pay Electric Bills,
as Heretofore

When light and power consum-
ers receive their December bills,
they will find inclosed, a printed
copy of resolution adopted by the
Water, Light & Power Commits

In order that there may be no
misunderstanding it was thought
advisable to explain through the
Herald that this resolution does
not in any manner affect the pre-
sent mode of payment of light
bills. One month will be given for
settlement before the 25c meter
rental attaches as heretofore.
The purpose of the new resolu-
ton was to empower tie Commits

consumers whose acocu It's become
past due, instead of being obliged
to wait Until the az: unt became

the old rules.

SELLING RAT POISON
MAKES EASY MONEY

The latest "easy-money"
scheme, according to one of our
exchanges is selling rat poison.
Two women, with letters of
endorsement from mayors in SO

Campaigns, and two men, pos
ing as government agents, are
also selling vernin poison.
In each case the poison is bar
ium Carbonate, which can be
bought at any drug store for

gets SIS a pound for the stuff,
while the women are selling a

$50 a pound. 1t is said they
are doing quite well.

PIES LANDED

While fishing in a hole on
the ice on Sank Lake Wednes-
day of last week Heinie
Leudtke landed what he con-
tends to be the Granddaddy of
the entire Graphic family.
The fish was too large to
be brought through the hole
in the ice, SO Heine says.
He fastened his line to his au-
tomobile nearby and proceed
ed to increase the size of
the opening. The prize was
then hauled into camp.
Fishing experts have de-
clared that the fish was a very
fine specimen of another FAM
lily of the 6nny tribe.
The Izaak Waltons of this

ing through ice on Sank Lake
good sport, but it remained
