FIRST STATE BANK
OF MEDICINE LAKE
PAYS DIVIDENDS

The First State bank of Medi-
cine Lake, which closed its doors
and opened up again after going
thru the proper process of en-
balming, has recently paid . %
per cent dividend to its depositors.
To these depositOrS everything
looks rosy now, they are all smil-
ing and expecting more soon. We
only hope they will not be disap-
pointed, but to us it looks like they
will have to wait long time.
The bank had about 100000 on
deposit now they borrowed $4,000
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and used that money
to pay the % per cent dividend
with. In order to get the $4,000
the bank had to put up about S4O,-
600 worth of its best notes for
security, and it is a safe bet that
the $4,000 worth of notes will be
eaten up by collection and admin
stration expenses by the time they
are collected, if collection will ever
be possible, but, anyway the de-
positors got their 25 per cent, and
that was more than many of them
ever expected.
The dividends on hay is another
story that has not been paid yet,
and everybody is getting up IN
arms about it and want to know
! the reason why.
During last winter and spring
( IL to- Is carloads of hay were sold
to the farmers for $12 to SIC per
ton according to grade of hay. The
handling of the hay was done by
a committee, who did the work
absolutely free of charge. Money
was handled by the First State
bank.
In order to be sure to come out
even on the carload Lots, the farm
ers paid a dollar or so more per
ton than the hay was actually
worth laid down there, with the
promises made that the banks
would refund to the farmers the
amount over paid as soon as the
} shipping of hay was over with.
!, Although the farmers have asked
for this refund to which they are
entitled, time and again, the bank
is still hanging on to the money
and have so far refused to pay it.
The farmers have been doing too
much business with the bank to
their own sorrow. Now that the
! bank has paid the 25 per cent
dividend, the farmers are more
determined than ever that they
also want the refund on the hay
: some of them are even talking
i about helping themselves if some
action is not taken by the bank
soon.

Hans Rasmussen was born in
Denmark in 1871, where he re-
ceived his education, going thru
high school and graduating from
ARCHITECTURAL college. He ais o
learned the trade of bricklaying
and plastering. In Europe and
America he has Travelled more than
any man in the county. In 1898
he landed in U. S., has crossed
the pond seven times since then.
He has worked as craftsman, sup
erintendent, contractor and brick
layer in many big cities here and
in Europe. At times he has worked
as a farm hand. In 1906 he work
ed for Uncle Sam at the Panama
Canal.
In 1908 he came here from Sc
attic, Wash, and homesteaded
southeast of Dagmar. He was one
of the first tractor farmers in the
county and lost his homestead in
order to pay for the tractor. He
then married a girl with another
homestead which the Federal Lane
Bank is now threatening to fore
close on at any minute. They have
two children.
Hans is well known to the peo
pie in the county. Twenty year!
ago he was nominated for count!
commissioner by the old Socialis
party and run on their ticket. II
1922 he was elected by the farm
ers for county surveyor and hell
the job for six years. Together
with the rest of them at that tim
he went long ways towards put
ting the county out of the hole.
Hans is not a traitor. When h
had the choice between selling on
or go without pay, he stayed or
the job for about two years with
out pay. When the convention
wanted to nominate him for som
more honorable job, Hans refuse
to take it, the surveyor job is goo
enough for him, he is not looking
for honors.
, When Hans again steps into tn
campaign with the rest of the
, radicals he knows, that with the
, present deplorable conditions Of
!, the county the task of the Com
! munist candidates when elected j
