6. M. BANKS TELLS OF
MCT SITUATION KDIAKA
G. M. Banks, prominent rancher liv-
ng twenty-six miles northeast of Alli
nci, returned Thursday morning
:'iom a ten-day visit to his old home
at Crown Point, Ind. Mr. Banks was
. .itinir his step-mother, Mrs. Frances
Banks, and also attending to several
natters connected with: his farm at
hat place.
Tn a conversation with the Herald
.'porter, Mr. Banks told many inter
'sting things concerning the situation
n that part of Indiana. In regard to
the present financiial stringency. Mr.
Banks bring- back the promising opin
ion of an uncle, N. P. Banks, president
of the First State Bank of Hobart,
l nd. He says ihat money has eased
considerably in that locality in the
last thirty days, and the situation is
improving steadily.
Mr. Banks reports that while many
eastern manufacturers are laying off
men at a rapid rate, the steel works
at Gary, Ind., are increasing their
force. At present they are installing
a pipe manufacturing works that will
be completed this spring and will em
ploy 1,800 men. He has a nephew
with the steel works, who tells of a
large discrepancy between the price of
coke from different sources. He
stated that employes of the Steel
manufacturers can buy coke delivered
at $10 for three tons, while the local
dealers there are unable to sell it for
less than $10 to $11 for one ton, at
their yards.
They had a big yield in that locality
this year, but most of the farmers are
holding their grain. On Mr. Banks'
place the oats made almost 80 bushels,
corn around 70, and wheat 40 bushels
to the acre. A new kind of wheat,
Turkey Red, was tried which turned
out almost a total failure, however.
The corn is not yet dry enoutrh to
market, because of continued warm
went her.
An interesting side-lipht on the in
comes of the farmers is given in the
statement that most of the farmers
are milking cows and receive a steady
income from the milk, which is sold
Id the city of Chicago. They are not
worrying so much about the price of
grain as they might be if they did not
have this source of ieenu.

FALLEN ELECTRIC LIGHT POLE
CAUSES QUEER INCONVENIENT
Burned off at the base by live a?het
thrown too close, an electric light pole
behind the Sturgeon garage Wednes
day fell over and carried the power
wires with it to the ground. Bud
Schafer gets his supply of "juice"
from this line to operate his motors.
Bud had several batteries hooked up
to a large generator in process of re
charging, when the power was cut off
by the falling pole. This was not
noticed by anyone in the shop and as
a result, the current that had been
placed in the batteries began to oper
nte the generator, and soon exhausted
the storage batteries.
The Sturgeon garage was left with
out power for their work room motors
at the same time.

You Can Start Your
Christmas
Savings Club Today
Just come to the Bank,- make your first pay
ment and get a beautiful Christmas Savings
Club pass book. If, for any reason, you
should not be able to make the full fifty pay
ments, every cent that you pay in will be re
turned to you when the Club fund is dis
bursed. EVERYBODY CAN JOIN. THE PLAN IS SO
SIMPLE THAT A CHILD CAN UNDERSTAND
IT-S0 BIG THAT ANYBODY CAN APPRE
CIATE IT. ;yj
Every cent deposited with us in this Christ
mas Savings Club will be paid back to the
depositors two weeks before next Christmas.
The money will belong to them and they may
spend it as they like; but this little taste of
the benefits to be derived from systematic
thrift will cause the money to be put to a
better use than aimless, useless,;ex,travagant
spending. Some of it will buy Christmas
presentsthere will be more than enough
for this. Some will pay for clothing, taxes,
insurance, debts of all descriptions. Some
will make the first payments on homes, or
pay interest on mortgages, reduce mort
gages, or pay them off altogether. Some will
be redeposited in the Bank to be added to and
added to until it gets to be a great big sum,
and then it will be invested in a business,
there to earn more money.
We started this Club with the fdea of making
it easier for people to have money for Christ
mas, but it must and will serve a bigger and
better purpose than merely the easy accu
mulation of money for spending it must be
a life-line to our people who have found it
hard to have money in the Bank.
