VALLEY SHOWS
BIGGEST BANK
DEPOSIT JUMP.
Federal Reserve Report Shows
1t Leads All Montana
During 1912.
Increase in County During the
Year Is Reported at 1O1
Percent.

Valley county bank deposits made
the largest percent increase of any
county in Montana during 1912,
according to the April monthly re-
view of agricultural and business
conditions published by the Federal
Reserve bank of Minneapolis.
A map of the ninth federal re-
serve district shows Valley as the
only Montana county in which
growth of deposits of individuals,
partnerships and corporations in
creased more than 100 percent. The
percent for the county is l0l.
Other Montana counties that
showed an increase for the year of
more than rs percent in deposits
were Judith Basin, 90; Choteau, 80;
Daniels. 88; Fergus, n; Saltwater,
n, and McCone, rs. All counties in
Montana in which there are re-
porting banks showed increases.
Bankers here attributed the in
crease to excellent crops and prices,
along with considerable war con-
Struction at Fort Peck and Glas-
gow
Deposits of individuals, partner
ships and corporations held by the
banks in the ninth federal reserve
district expanded "a percent during
1912" the banks review comments.
The map indicates the great
est expansion occurred in North and
South Dakota and Montana. The
increases of 25 percent or less in
northeastern Minnesota compare to
rises of 25 to so percent in western
and southern Minnesota and rises
of rs to 100 percent or more in
some counties in the Dakotas and
Montana"

Every effort has been made, Mr..
Brocksmith said, to secure complete
reports on bond sales outside the
county which should be credited to
communities in the county. How
ever. there may be some cases
where such credits have not been
received. which would make some
communities totals higher than is
shown in the tabulation.
Vandalia earned the honor of
naming a medium bomber by being
the first to achieve its cash quota,
while Glasgow will name fighter
plane as second. To Beaverton COM
munity also goes the naming of a
medium bomber as the community
exceeding its quota by the largest
percentage. while Fort Peck will
name a fighter as second highest
in exceeding its quota.
"All northeastern Montana coun-
ties in Group 4 made a fine record"
Mr.. Brocksmith commented. The
group as a whole exceeded its quota
by l249. Valley led with a per-
centage of 1894 percent and other
counties percentages were Daniels,
1895; Phillips, 1875; Roosevelt, 124.5
and Sheridan, 111.2.
valley county now stands 18th
in percentage among counties of the
state for the April campaign. On
top of this were 100000 worth of
bonds purchased the first three
months of the year"
"One of the encouraging things
about the campaign was that so
many people bought bonds,' he add
ed. "As closely as we can estimate
there were 1000 individual pur-
chasers in Valley county, showing
that we are alive to the need for an
unstinted effort in this war"
L want to thank the many who
put this campaign over the top.
without the help of the county |
committee and the hard work of
the community chairmen, we
couldn't have made it. They are en-
titled to the real credit for the

thanks should go to the Glasgow
Kiwanis club for staging the sue !

Show Big Increase
Over 1918 Figures

In 1918 American war eXpendi-

in l943 they will exceed 100 billion

the difference in cost between the
last war, with a total goal of less
than 10 billion dollars; but to fin
ance the present war the people
of the United States must raise
about 70 billion dollars before the
end of this year. In the last war,
