to fully explain to you the plan of
re-organization.
This is of vital interest to all the
citizens of Granger and this com-
munity, ar.d especially to the depos-
itors. If the re-organization is pui
thru the depositors will be very
much benefited, and only a limited
time is allowed by the Bank Exam-
iner in which to put over the re-or-
ganization, as you know the bank

ment. Accordingly, please act up-

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Critz of
Taylor Spent Sunday ir. Granger.
The above letter is being mailed
to all depositors of this bank. The
News has gone to the trouble of fa-
miiliarizing themselves with the plan
of re-organizatior. and is in thorough
accord with it. If it is not put ov-
er, then the affairs of the bank will
be liquidated by a receiver appointed
by the Comptroller of Currency.
This receiver must be an outside
man and hard methods might be used
to collect the outstanding obligations
due the bank. Under the law the
money that is now in the bank and
also the money as it is collected thru
the process of liquidation must be
moved outside of Granger to a Nat-
-ional Depository, which means a very
damaging drain ypor. the financial
resources of this community ex-
tending over a period of one or two,
or possibly three, years. If the bank
is re-organized, then the depositors
will have a substantial portion of
their deposits, for immediate use and
the remainder in the new organiza-
tion. The present depositors will,
therefore, own the new bank. They
will, save themselves, will very ma-
terially help the community and we
do not believe will ever regret hav-
ing taken the step.
As stated in the letter, only a lim-
ited time is permitted in which to
put over the re-orgar.ization. Our
best citizens believe it the best plan
and are signing as rapidly as they
are approached by the committee.
If you hold back you will prevent the
re-qrgar.ization, as it is requiret.

Minn's Dept Store
January 4 and 5 have been select-
ed by the local committee as the
dates for holding the two-day far-
j mers' and housewives' Chautauqua,
which will be winducted with the co-
operation of the Agricultural Ex-
tension Department of the Internat-
ional Harvester Company. The
meetir.gs will be held in Taylor on
the dates mentioned above.
The program committee, Is engag-
ed in preparing a program which
will include musical and other num-
bers by some of our best local tal-
ent, and educational lectures and
demonstrations by members of the
short course crew furnished by the
Harvester Company. These lect-
ures will deal with the many prob-
lems of the farm, the orchard, the
home and the community, and will be
given by nationally known speakers.
The lecturers will include Mr. II.
S. Moblev, Mr. G. L. Smith and Miss
if
Grace Marian Smith, Mr. Mobley
is one of the most prominent lectur-
ers on agricultural and community
subjects in the country. He harf
been a member of the extension de-
partment for many years, and ' Is
superintendent of the Harvester
Company's demonstration f#rm near
Montgomery, Ala., where so much
is being done to show the value of
diversified farming, crop rotation
and 'dairying.
Mr. Mobley long was active in
farmers' organizations, of the legis-
lative committee of which he was
chairman at Washington during the
time such bills as the Farm Loan
Rar.k, Parcel Post and Smith-Lever
bills were discussed and enacted. For
many years he has been a practical
and successful farmer and, looking
at things from the farmers' view-
point, he is able to talk to farmers
as fj>w other lecturers can. As a re-
sult of his success, as a live stock and
alfalfa grower, ar.d as a community
builder, he has a fund of information,
based upon experiences, which makes
his lectures on those subjects most
interesting and helpful.
Mr. Smith is not only a real dirt
farmer, but he is a practical ar.d
highly successful fruit grower and
horticulturist, combining the techni-
cal knowledge gained as a graduate
of the College of Agriculture at the
University of Illinois with the pract-
ical experience of operating a 35-
acre fruit farm of his own as well
as several leased apple ar.d peac
orchards. He is an expert in the
control of diseases and insect pests,
planting and care of young orchards
and the renovation of old orchards.
He is an authority on vegetable gar-
dens and potatoes, and his wide ex-
perience in extension work in many
states enables him to give exceed-
ingly helpful and intere ting talks.
M.iss Smith grew to womanhood
on a farm, taught ir. both rural
schools and city schools and for a
number of years has beer, an ex-
tension worker for the Harvester
Company and for the U. S, Depart -
dent of Agriculture. Her talks are
always full of helpfulness and in-
spiration.
Large charts, lantern slides and
motion pictures will be used to il-
lustrate the lectures, and questions
relating to matters discussed will
he invited and will be conscientious-
ly answered so far as possible.
Make a note of the date and let
nothing prevent your attending ev-
ery meeting.
