Vol. IX COUNTRY BANKS GAIN $75,000 IN DEPOSITS Make Substantial Advance Official all of November; Lynden And I ihi cad Banks of the rural districts of Whatcom County gaineu $75,000 in deposits since November, according to the official statements published last week. Ferndale. Sumas. Custer and Lynden show substantia; advances in deposits, ranging from a gain for Lynden of $45,507.70 and for Ferndale of $22,851.75.

to increases of $7,200 for Custer and $4.523 for Sumas. The following is a list of the deposits in the county banks on March 5: Tuster. Everson, Blame. Ferndale. Lynden, Sumas, High prices paid for dairy products and potatoes and other farm goods, together with the mild winter which required but a small outlay for feed, brought about the increased prosperity.

Pr ces for dairy and poultry products have been unusually good this winter. The legislature at its session just closed passed a bill that guarantees the deposits in the banks by the formation of a banking guarantee fund. The organization will maintain a fund in charge of state officials which will be sufficient to make up to depositors any loss resulting from the closing of a bank that belongs to the association, or in other words, the resources of the state banks, running into the hundreds of millions, are used to stand back of. and protect the depositors in any individual bank. The absolute safety thus afforded depositors, it is believed, will mean a sustantial increase in the deposit of the State Banks of Whatcom County, as they are thereby enabled to offer their depositors a guarantee that the national banks cannot give.

Money that is buried, and hidden in teacups, and other unsafe places by the nervous, will be put back into circulation when the proective measure goes into effect in a few months. EVERSON Mr. and Mrs. English and family of Bellingham spent Sunday at the Breckenridge home. Mr.

Editor and Author IF universal military training would interfere with tlie pacific pursuits of the American "people, that objection might conceivably justify our resorting to the militia of the state, which is for a totally different purpose. But.

in fact, universal military training properly organized WOULD PROMOTE THE PACIFIC PURSUITS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. It would develop a habit of prompt obedience to law. It would develop the team spirit, the habit of co-operation for a common purpose. It would break down class barriers and put the employer and the employed, rich and poor, on the same level engaged in the same underiflking. It would thus greatly promote the democratic spirit It would promote a spirit of real patriotism patriotism which the truth that the people owe something to the government as 'A as the fovernment something to the people; a patriotism that would ress itself, not in hearing orations and waving flags and firing fire- T-kers, but in real practical and self denying service.

FREE REPUBLIC THE PEOPLE GOVERN THEMSELVES AND ivATE THEMSELVES. THEY OUGHT ALSO TO BE PREPARED TO 3EFEND THEMSELVES. EVERY SECTION ASKS FOR CONCRETE ROADS Petitions Shower In On Commis.i.iiiers From All Points For Permanent Highways Practically every section of the County has Joined thus far In the scramble to get a hard-surface road ont of the twenty-one mile appropriation that will probably be made this year. The new Donahue road law permitting the issuing of bonds to pay for the improvements appeals to the property owners, and a show of petitions to the commissioners the result. Of principal interest to the Lynlen district is the filing of the petition for the Glendaie road, reaching froTi Custer to the Guide Meridian, one of I the first appeals to be filed.

Workers are now busy gathering signatures to a petition for the Blaine-Lyni den Sumas road. A hard paved road from Bellingham to Wickersham is one of the projects that may possibly prove a winner in the grab for the funds. Acme and Baker townships will vote on Saturday to bond the townships for $88,000 to pay half the cost under the permanent highway law of a road from Deming to Wickersham. the county paying the other half out the permanent highway fund it receives from the state. It is likely that the townships will vote favorably on the project.

A petition was presented to the commissioners to pave the Northeast Diagonal to Deming to connect with the other road, a distance of ten miles, with a Lawrence branch east one mile. A petition has been filed for the paving of the Smith road from the Hannegan to the Guide, a distance of two miles. The early- petitions covered these roads: The Blaine-Ferndale highway, beginning at the city limits of the town of Ferndale and extending to tbe Pleasant Valley schoolhouse, a dis'. nee of seven miles: the Custer- Glendale road, commencing at Custer and extending for nine miles to the intersection of the road with Meridian: the Geneva road which begins at the easterly line of the city limits of Bellingham and runs to a point where No. 131 intersects with the west boundary of section 36, township 38.
