STRENGTHENED
BY AGREEMENT
FarmerS-MerchantS B a n k
Stockholders, Depositors,
Pine City, Cooperate
Withdrawals Will be More
Normal Under the New
Plan Devised.

A voluntary meeting of stOckhold-
ers and depositors of the Farmers and
Merchants State Bank of Pine City,
was held at the Armory in that vii
lage Saturday evening, May %, for
the purpose of laying plans for the
future and insuring the continued
strength and serviceability of that in
stitution which was organized back
in 1903 and like the other bank of
that village is considered one of the
strong Independent banks of the
county.
The Farmers and Merchants State
Bank in the good times had deposits
totaling up to 100000 but like many
other banks in rural districts has ex-
perienced decrease of deposits during
the depression of low farm prices
when of necessity the farmers and
others have been forced to draw on
their reserves.
George Susens, secretary of the
Minnesota Bankers Association, was
present at the Saturday night meet
ing of about 400 people and explained
the financial situation, the difficulty
of any bank selling it's securities on
the open market today if forced to
do so and the sacrifices that have
to be made if a forced sale is brought
upon it. Messrs. Tillander and Grace
of the State Commission of Banks,
were also present.
Practically all of those at the meet
ing signed up agreements to withdraw
not more than 300 each year of time
deposits and not over 1910 monthly
on checking accounts. the funds left
in the bank to draw regular interest
rates. By Tuesday or Wednesday
about $50 of the deposits had been
signed up on this agreement Patrons
of the bank realizing the money stu
alton, apparently were glad to have
the agreements put into force and
thus further insure constant service
and avoid any excitement over
finances, the same as has been done
other places where bank deposits
have decreased.
w. A. Sauser, Pine City hardware
man, is president of the bank and N.
Perkins, is the long time faithful
cashier. There are about 70 stock
holders.

Among q stars of the Metropolitan
Opera in New York who have not
secured a renewal of their contracts
for the coming year, is Ivar Andersen,
Norwegian Wagnerian singer, who
has been affiliated with the Metro
politan stage during the last two sea-
sons. Retrenchment is necessitated
by a desperate financial situation,
opera officials claim, and in some
cases stars have oluntarily resigned
rather than accepting an offered sal
airy reduction. To what extent this
is true in Mr.. Andresen's case, is not
publicly stated.
