Number 2 Banks of Joining Counties To Try Service Charge Plan TURKEY CROWNED KlNG NEXT THURSDAY Grange and Farmers Union Oppose Judge's Road Idea iIi7; i Adopted By the Bank of Waico and Sherman Countl Effastive January 1, 1921 . Thi Maupin Stato Bank has joined with other financial institution of Waico and Sherman countlei in an innovation, to this section, and on and after January 1, 1928, will charge a eervice fee on imall trans action. The new method 1 set out in the following circular, a eopy of which hne to be tent to each deposi tor of the vartoua bank: ' t , Among "modern method" popular today became of the convenience it offer, we have the checking account. Wherea In year gone by, it was confined largely to buelnei con cern, there are few individuals to day who do not enjoy the privilege of paying bills by check against de posits In "commercial account," as it it technically called. Banks are glad of this wider use of the checking privilege, because it enable them to extend a real com munity service in making it possible for all residents to deposit funds for current-use in the bank rather than keeping money around the home, or carrylng.lt about the person. It I of advantage to the community that money should be deposited, and it most surely is an advantage to the individual not only to have hi money safe In the bank, but to have the or derly, systematic accounting which a checking account provides. Entrie In the check book, together with the monthly statement of de posits and with drawals (ss shown by check cleared through the bank) give an accurate record of money re ceived and expended, and the can celed check are legal receipts for bills psid. The largest part of, the routine work of a bank Is in the handling of checks for Its customers. Also, the bank assumes heavy responsibility in connection. with each check that comes in; a responsibility which in volve eight distinct risks, as follows- A risk as to date A risk as to signature A risk as to alterations , A risk as to endorsement A risk as to stop payment A risk as to sufficiency of bal ance A risk as to uncollected funds A risk as to filing All members of the bank's force must be adequately informed upon each of these points, or losses are likely to occur which the bank must shoulder. It is remarkeable that for all thU service which involves the furnish ing of check-books, deposit slips, lod ger equipment for the bank's records, and expensive banking machinery, in addition to clerk hire bank have made' no charge. Their compensa tion is based on the expectation of a . suitable balance over and above an amount to cover the actual cost to the bank for the service rendered. Naturally, you want to know that your bank has adequate revenue, be LADIES AID JOINT BAAZAR Wapinitia and Maupin Together In Annual Enterprise The Ladies Aid societies of Wap initia and Maupin will join In holding a joint bazaar, to be staged at tho John Lewis hall, Wapinitia, Friday, December 2.

Your name put on free. Inquire at (ha Mssitvtl T"lMi as CrAM UMUlll eVIU WWtVi cause, otherwise, neither banking; nor any other business can be carried on In a manner acceptable to its cus tomers. We believe that our customers, be ing advised of these details, will be glad to' watch this matter, of an ade quate average balance on checking accounts in, the future. However, because it is not always convenient for a customer to keep such a bal ance on deposit over and above amounts drawn against, the under signed banks have arranged to make it possible for all who connot main tain a balance of $25.00 or over to have the advantage of this service by psying a service fee of 60c sv month upon accounts whose) average bal aae falls below $25.00 in that month; the charge to be nothing if no checks are paid during the month. In adopting this uniform ruling, the' undersigned are following a practice that has become quit gen eral with banks elsewhere, including those of most of the Oregon cities. We believe that our customers will appreciate the spirit of the ruling, and that many who have felt diffi dent about carrying accounts with a small balance, will now feci more free to accept this accommodation. On the other hand, it is hoped, also, that many customers will give great er attention to their balance in or der to keep their accounts on the right side of the ledger by building up their balances above the mint-, mum against which the service charge is to be made. ; This service charge on accounts as described above will go into effect in the undersigned banks on Janu ary 1, 1928. This notice is sent in advance of that time in order to give customers whose average bal ance may now be below that mini mum an opportunity to adjust those balances by making adequate addi tional deposits before that date, or to transfer smsll balances to" a sav ings account, should they desire to do so rather than pay the service charge.

' Some discussion was indulged in regarding the supper. It was final ly decided that inasmuch as a com mittee was appointed to take full charge of that end of the entertain ment, that committee was to use Its best judgement regarding who and how it should be prepared and by whom served, and just what charge should be made. 1 Several suggestions were made regarding music, the matter finally being left to the discretion of the committee appointed to take care of that partvof the dance. The matter of determining just what date the dance was to be held on has been delayed owing to the ab sence of President Butler from the city on regular meeting nights. Now that all is settled regarding the annual hop the committees, assisted by all members of the fire depart ment, will bend every energy toward making this the banner dance, ever given by that body of volunteer fire men.
