WESLEY BANK
CLOSED FRIDAY

The Farmers State Bank of
Westby, closed its doors last
Friday, and this came as a dis
tinct shock TO the people thru
out this territory as that bank
was a safe institution without
one dollar of borrowed money.
The bank was in very good shape
considering the present times of
depression.
1t would have remained open but
across the line in North Dakota there
were six banks closed in a few days
time, and this caused such unrest at
Westby that cashier P. G. Anderson
felt he would either have to borrow
money and pledge bank collateral as
security to have plenty of ready cash
on hand, or else close the doors Of the
institution, which latter course he
adopted. Mr.. Anderson had no bor-
rowed capital and this is one reason
why his institution has weathered
every financial storm in the past, and
Mr.. Anderson had been in the bank
ing business for 81 years and 8
months on the day Of the Westby
closing. To borrow money at this
time in the face of the present de-
preston did not appeal to Mr.. Ander-
son and preferred to close up the
bank.
There will not be one dollar lost
through the closing of the bank. The
last examination on April II shows
they had only 500 of paper that was
doubtful. The capital stock was
500, 900 with a surplus of $4,000 and
undivided profits OF T3i0D. This bank
had "no other real esgat, carried On
its books, as such property had been
charged against undivided profits and
not a charge against the bank.
The people of Westby although
regretting the closing of the
bank have only the kindliest Of feel
ings towards Banker Anderson, and
it is the undivided opinion of all there
that it was the proper thing to do,
after the closing of banks at Column
bus, Noonan, Appam, Alamo, Am
brose and Fortuna, which all occur
red in a few days time.

EVERY MANS BUSINESS
(The Williston Herald)

Wherever you go in the northwest at this time
the mood of Oppression is pronounced. Men are filed
with nameless fears. Some break under the load. Crops
are short, prices are off, wide areas are drouth-strick-
en-, thousands are unemployed. The world travails and
there is widespread wonder what may be done about it.
The malcontent is abroad in the land. He is adj
vising the people to rebel. If by rebelling the people
could bring needed moisture, cause crops to grow,
pastures to become green, or jobs to spring up over
night, this newspaper would heartily join in that ad-
vice. There is a time to rebel, but no man ever rebelled
successfully against the forces of Nature over which
he has no control. There are plenty of wrongs in the
body polite and the social structure. The people in the
United States of America are given the weapons to cor
rect them. If they cannot use these successfully, it is
most doubtful if they could control or regulate the fore

HOOVER'S PLAN

When President Hoover suggested that
this country join in a plan for a years NOR
atorium in the payment OF war debts 1t
struck millions of people in Europe, Canada
and other part of the world as one OF the
most heartening things that has occurred In
wears. Already President Hoover's otter to
suspend for one year payments on all inter
Governmental debts has the informal ap-
prevail Of four of the countries most direct
" involved in world war obligations3Great
Britain. Italy, Austria and Germany. If the
other governments agree, and Germany IS
afforded a year of relief, it may mean the
beginning of a period of world revival from
the bad times through which it is now pass
ing. 1t will also have a dampening affect on
the Russian plan of mastering the world
supply of wheat as well as most other ma
terials which are produced in such huge
quantities in this country, and will revive
trade relations which are now at such a low
ebb especially with this country.
We cannot doubt that our congress
will very readily back up the president in his
proposal. The twelve months period will
give leaders Of all the nations concerned,
which means all of the leading powers of the
world, a chance to review the situation and,
perhaps, arrive at a more equitable distribu-
ton of the burdens imposed by a great world
war. 1t is fairly obvious now that we will
never experience very satisfactory condl-
ions in this country as long as Europe IS in
a state of political and economic turmoil.
America is today seeking speedy ratif-
ication of the moratorium proposal to main

saw as already materializing economic inn
provement.
Secretary Stimson has given the warn
ing that there must be no bargaining; that
the plan must be acted upon quickly to pull
the world out of it's business morass.
There is only one nation whose appro-
val is much needed now, and that is France.
AS one of the biggest sufferers in the war,
France became among the largest benefic-
iaries through reconstruction payments.
which are classed as unconditional. The loss
OF these, it was reported, would be felt
keenly.
With the United States the matter of
the sacrifice of a few hundreds of millions
ey well spent.
However, we believe that with the
present chaotic condition throughout this
nation. we feel that our own people are
entitled to some similar relief by declaring
a moratorium on feed and seed relief loans
made the farmers of the northwest. They
will not be able to pay these debts and the
lifting of the interest and payment of the
principal for a year and it will amount to
one-fifth of what it will cost for a years
war debt mratorium) will give our farmers
a more cheerful outlook on the future.
President Hoover has already taken
steps to expend about ten million dollars
left from the 1880 Drouth Relief Fund, but
by letting up on the interest principle on the
present debt incurred by our farmers, it
will hearten us considerably more.
In any event, the steps taken by Pres
ident Hoover cannot but help restore
confidence that was at such a low ebb until
this move on his part.

Surprise Resignation Follows
Removal of CrisIer and
~Ingwerson

Madison, Wis, Dec. 15.-R}-With
the resignation Of George Little, di-
rector of athletics, providing the third
casualty Of the post-season debate on
football In the Western Conference,
attention Tuesday turned toward a
Legislative investigation of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin athletic depart
ment.
The resignation Of Little came with
much surprise. It followed that of
Coach Burt Ingwersen of Iowa by
only q few days and also the first up
heaval in the conference.-the sup
planting Of H. o. Fritz" Crisler as
football coach at Minnesota.
The legislative committee planned
to 60 into action today.
The state assembly took cognizarce
OF the directors decision when it re-
Iceived a resolution last night which
asked the board Of regents to refuse
the resignation.
Action on the measure vas post
poned, however, in order to permit
the investigating committee to pro-
coed unhampered by a legislative
pronouncement. Meanwhile the ath-
letic council at the university was ex-
|pected to meet In special session We'd
nesday to consider the resignation
and the status Of head football
Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite.
A wide variety Of rumors pervade
the campus. The most persistent ru-
NOR had CriSler as head coach and
director Of athletics at Wisconsin next
year. It was definitely known uni
versity authorities have recently con
Iferred with the Minnesota director Of
athletics.
The consolidation Of the positions
;of coach and athletic director Is al
most certain in view Of the retrench-
ment program proposed by the ath-
letic council.

FAReoAN TO MEET MossET
Advance Seat Sale Indicates
Show Has Found Favor
With Local Fans

Whoever the winners of the six
bouts scheduled on the Elks-sponsored
fight card at the World War Memorial
building are tonight. promoters believe
there will be enough action packed in
to % rounds to satisfy even the most
rabid fans.
Advance seat sales indicate that the
affair has found favor among local
boxing enthusiasts who already have
contracted for q substantial share of
the pasteboards.
AL twelve fighters slated to appear
on the card were pronounced in excel
lent physical condition after they had
weighed in under the watchful eye of
the promoters early Tuesday.
The boys In the headline attraction
both appeared to be in fine fettle and
each had something to say about the
outcome of the fight. The Scarlet
Flash, who is to tangle with Otis Jack
son in the main go, said that he real
lied Jackson was tough but intimated
that the Dawson boy would provide
just another scalp to add to his grow
ing collection. Jackson was more re-
ticent, implying that he perferred to
do his fighting In the ring.
Kid Vandi, a Minot Mexican and
Jimmy Todd Of Medina, principals in
the semi-windup, both were in fine
trim and professed an eagerness to go
into battle.
The forthcoming battle between
Tuffy Mosset Of Bismarck and Frank
Hanish of Fargo has been the occasion
for considerable acrimonious debate
between Tuffy's admirers and malig-
ners. His friends point to the fact
that on several previous occasions the
mauler was slated to take a FASTING
that somehow failed to materialize.
Those in the other camp believe Han
ish IS the man who a. turn the trick.
Kid Kramer, Saskatoon, Sask., will
battle Kid Foster, Minot, over the four
round route. Both boys have shaded
Mosset and the bout is expected to be
a nip and tuck affair.

tilities in the first fight after the cur
