Patriotism and Business Every good citizen at this time should do his share toward strengthing the Federal Reserve Banking System which our goVrnment has cre ated with its billion dollars of resources to stand back of its member banks and all their depositors You can contribute .directly to the strength of this system, and at the same time secure its pro tection by depositing your money with eus, since part of every dollar goes directly into the new system, where it is always ready for you when wanted- This is a suggestion for prompt action.

Gordon Campbell to Drill On Little Muddy Structus A well will be drilled on the Little Muddy structure near Choteau by Gordon Campbell, according to-his announcement made early this week. Campbell has been working on this area since early in the -summer and has leased up some 20,000 acres on a structure mapped by him and in which he has confidence as a produc ing area. A rig will be moved to the location and operations stated soon, according to Campbell. As the operator discovered oil in both the Kevin-Sunburst and Devils Basin fields, the advent of Campbell in active operations in the neighbor hood of Choteau has aroused consid erable interest in this comm'unity and given impetus to dealing in leases. Campbell now has four wells being drilled In the northern field. That Campbell will make Choteau his headquarters in his latest venture is evidenced by the fact that he has arranged for offices in the Bair build-' ing on main street MRS. G. F.

The City of Choteau has one of the best equipped fire departments in the state of Montana and with the install ation of the new siren, the volunteer fire department should be able to get on the job in a short time. tional bank of Great Fulls during the last several months to realize on its loans at a rate permitting mainten ance of a sufficient reserve caused the board of directors of that concern Wednesday night to suspend business The action was taken owing to the decision that it would be unwise to accept further deposits and the sus pension became effective Thursday morning. The comptroller of the currency at Washington, D. C., has been notified of the suspension of the bank’s af fairs will come under the supervision of the federal department of bank ing. The last statement issued by the bank, on September ?*^ghowed that the total of deposits ^ ft,202,- 651.42, , with .loans aggreb„ . 532,612.76. The total of deposits on that date was a slight increase over the footing of the previous call. When it became apparent that a sufficient reserve could not be main tained, some of the larger stockhold ers offered their personal assets as security for enough money to ne-es- tablish the reserve to a point that safely would allow the immediate transastion of business, but it was impossible to procure funds, it was stated by the board following the de cision Wednesday night to suspend. The board expressed confidence that there will be no untimate loss to the depositors. The bank was established in No vember, 1912, as the Commercial Trust & Savings bank and became a national bank in May. 1914, when, it acquired membership in the federal reserve. san Citizens State Bank CHOTEAU , MONTANA OUR DIRECTORS: G.
