SUMMER SHOWS ARE
BOOKED AT FROID

Froid.-C. E. Jones of Beatrice,
Neb., manager and owner of the
Summer Shows, was in town this
week and completed contract where
by Froid will have a program consist
ing of four stage plays and five must
cal entertainments over a period of
five days beginning about the Fourth
of July.
Mr.. Jones is presenting a new idea
in Chautauqua, in that he carries no
lectures, nor painfully classical mu-
steal programs. He also carries uni
que seat ends which makes it possible
for all to have a comfortable seat. His
programs are staged with spotlights,
color wheels and nine complete sets of
stage scenery. All equipment includ-
ing tents will be new this season.
One feature that the entertainment
brings to the community is the junior
program. A specially trained young
! lady who has been associated with the
organization for three years will be
here to direct the children in a week
of play, story hours, parades, picnics
pageants and other things that the
children like. The entertainment il
being made possible by the coopera
ton of the following business men Of

FIRST TWO BILLION
U.S.. BANK FORMED
NATIONAL CITY AND FARMERS
LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY
MERGE THEIR AFFAIRS

New York, April 6.-America's
first two billion dollar bank was
realized Monday when the Ma
tiOnal City Bank and the Farm
ers Loan and Trust Company di-
rectOrs agreed on terms of affili-
ating the two companies.
The announcement of merger
was given out by Chas. E. Nit
chell, president of National City.
Mitchell is to be made chairman
Of the National City and of the
newly merged company, which
will take over the trust business
of National City and probably be
known as the City Bank Farmers
Trust Company.
The new subsidiary will func-
ton as a separate unit much as
does the National City Company,
investment banking unit of Ma
tiOnal City Bank. The merger is
to be effected by stock transfer,
Farmers Trust holders receiving
five shares Of National City bank
stock for each share of Farmers
Trust held. This will result in an
increase in capital of the bank
from $1OO,OO0.OOO to $4,000, 600.
1t is planned that the trust CON-
pany will have a capital of $780,
100000 and a surplus of the same
amount.
Stockholders of the two com.
panies will meet in the near flu.
ture to approve the merger.

Helena, April s. Montana enters

but not unfavorable for an excellent

report issued by the department of
agriculture in cooperation with the
state extension service.
Live stock has wintered we'll, win
ter wheat everywhere is in excellent
condition and intention surveys indi-
cate increased acreage to spring
wheat, flax and corn. Of all state
crops, potatoes seem slated for five
per cent decrease in acreage. Total
acreage devoted to all crops will be
dependent upon weather conditions
during seeding with prospects for ap-
proximately 8,5OO,OO0 acres, and about
100000 devoted to both winter and
spring wheat.
