will bo nothing for publication. The
legal requirements aro in tho hands
of the Stato Banking department and
Marshall Hooper, representing that
branch ot tho stato government, Is
horo In chargo ot tho work. Ho nat

of tho banking department gets along

Whllo the state and bank officials
aro marking tlmo, tho depositors ot
tho bank aro not as Idlo as surface
Indications might lead ono to bollovo.
Absoluto confldonco In tho .reopening
of tho bank is to bo found on all
sides. Among tboso residing In tho
city thoro is a great doal of talk
looking to an ngrooment to co-opor-ato
with Captain Slomons In hasten

to leavo tho funds In tho bank for a
period ot CO days, subscribing from
ton to twonty-flvo por cent ot tholr
deposits for Btock, tho creation of a
daily balance pool representing ten
par cent of tho total liabilities of the
.bank;, this pool to remain in the bank
until such time aa the directors deem
ed It ot no further use. Another plan
was the raising of now capital, if the
officials ot tho bank wlsbod to In
crease Its capital stock, Ono business
man has offered to tako $10,000 of
such stock, anothor stated ho- would
tako $6000 and many othora from
$1000 to $G000.

gladly co-operate tn anyway possible
soveral stating that when tho time
comes thoy will call meetings in tho
various school houses and Join tn any

Ono conclusion only can bo drawn
from this remarkable loyalty to their

AFTER JAN. 24
After January 24th, noxt, local
meat markets will bo oporatod on a
strictly cash basis, according to an
agreement roached by all propria
tors, and tho delivery systom will bo
abolished.
Customers wilt save about 16 por
cont on tho cash-and-carry plan, say
tho meat distributors, 10 por cont
In tho elimination of credit accounts
and tho consequent expense ot book'
keoplng, losses, etc., and 6 por cent
that It costs to maintain tho dellv
cry systom.
A peculiarity of tho meat bust
ness Is that cash payment Is do-
mandod ot tho markets on their
purchases ot hogs, sheep and cattle.
Other retailors aro extended 30, 60
or 90 days' credit on purchasos ot
stock, but tho moat dealer must pay
spot cash.
Tho result Is that tho markets
find that thoy aro now receiving
dally fmra cash sales and collec
tions about ono-fourth tho amount
thoy nro paying out in cash next
day to tho livestock producers. Thoy
assort that they cannot kcop up this
paco,' that no business without a
large rcservo of cash capital can
maintain It, and that thoy would
bo forcod out of business In a short
tlmo It they tried to koep up tho
present systom.
By eliminating credit accounts
nnd delivery thoro will result a mu
tual advantage to dealor and cus
tomer, the sollbr getting tho benefit
of- a larger supply of cash with
which to carry on his business until
conditions become normal, and the
burer -making a saving ot 16 per
cent above the present price ot meat
to compensate him for paying cash
and carrying away his own purchase.

Tho department finds today, upon

It Is to bo regretted that many mo
tor vohlclo owners did not earlier ap
ply for their 1921 licenses, and that
by deterring applying for such li
censes caused tho existing conges
tion of work In tho department. Op
portunity is therefore taken at tEls
