ESTABLISHED 1873 SAVINGS GAIN - INNORTHWEST DURING YEAR Bank Review Shows Per Cap- ita Deposits of North Da- kota Doubles in 11 Years THREE ABOVE AVERAGE Diversified Farming Com- munities Declared to Show the Largest Increases Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 22.—In- dividual savings deposits in all northwest states have gained sub- stantially in the last year, and in Minnesota and South Dakota have passed the average of all states of the country, the Northwestern Na- tional, Bank Review said in its monthly issue, out today. The Review points out that the major part of these deposits are made by farmers, and calls this fact evidence “that the condition of the northwest subsequent to the first great deflation in prices has been one of net improvement.” It ob- tained the data from a report by the savings bank division of the Ameri- can Bankers association, showing the savings on deposit in all banks of the country June 30, 1923. ‘The per capita savings deposit in Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota more than doubled in the last 11 years nesota, S. D. Above U. S. Average ‘Among the states: whose welfare most directly interests us, we find that the per capita savings depcsits of Minnesota and South Dakota are now above the United States avgr- age,” the review said. “In 1912 the per capita savings deposits, in both Minnesota and the United States as nt whole stood at $89. In 1922, the average for the United States had in- creased to $166 while tat for Minn- esota had become $187. The record for South Dakota as compared with that of the United States is even better.

Instead, it’s a brown-haired, brown- eyed little woman of 34, who admits her age, possesses a firm chin and abundant energy and has a head full of ideas and the keen intelligence with which to apply them effectively. Her name is Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. Officially she is an as- sistant attorney general of the Unit- ed States, in charge of the legal end of enforcing the prohibition and tax Mrs. Willebrandt would be the first to disclaim the ‘title of boot- legger’s Nemesis. She'd tell you, instead, that the prohibition law i NOT being enforced; that there a steady and torrential flow of li- quor into the United States; that a vast quantity of alcoholic beverages from $71 to $206, or $40 greater than for the country at large. In North Dakota, the advance has been from $62 to 159,\in Wisconsin from 3 4, and in Montana from $62 to $98.

The first problem is to stop the sources of supply, and these are, chiefly, two. “1, The smuggler. “2. The man who, under cloak of apparent legality, withdraws alcohol on permits for industrial or other le- gal\uses and diverts it into boot- legging channels. “Pint-Pinching Futile” “Prohibition officers now waste their time milling around on little cases of a pint or a few quarts at a time. Meanwhile the big commercial organizations, flooding the , trade with liquor, operate comparatively undisturbed. — “In dealing with smuggling, the government should look to existing agencies—the coast guard, the rev- enue service and the customs ser- vice. “The job ean’t be done by any one branch of the government, There must ‘be co-ordination not now ef- fective, There must be an interlock- ing exchange of information and-as- sistance. A definte objective must be set up, with a definite method of attack; not the scattered, disor- ganized effort-now applied. “When the police and the prohibi- tion agents have failed, a tax in- vestigation is one of the best methods of attack against the big violator,” Mrs. Willebrandt says. “In these we uncover all the man’s bank deposits, his investments in stocks; bonds, mortgages and other securi- ties. In many cases these have mounted far into the milligns in a short year or two.” | UNDERWOOD -° CELEBRATES Underwood, Dec. 22:—Under the direction of the Public School of Underwood, a Cofmunity Christmas| Program was rendered in the City Hall Thursday December 20 by the school children.
