CONSOLIDATION OF THE BAKER BANKS

The merging of the three Baker banks in to one, The Baker State, has met with the general approval of the entire community as far as we are able to learn, from talking to the people generally. This consolidation shows the good judgment of the financiers of the three banks who are the custodians of the people's money. They got together, gave and took, and have made one mighty strong institution of the three banks.

The Baker State Bank, as the new institution will be called, will own the combined resources of the three banks and will be enabled to render better service to the community than could be done by the three institutions separately.

The change became effective Tuesday and at a meeting Monday evening the following directors and officers for the new Baker State Bank were elected:

L. Price, Chairman of the Board. R. F. Smith, President W. W. Brant, First Vice-president, F. R. Savage, Second vice-president Thos. Forde, Cashier, R. L. Smith, Ass't Cashier, R. E. Morris, E. V. Trout and R. S. Johnson, directors.

All of the above gentlemen, with the exception of Mr. Savage, are representative citizens of the city of Baker with the best interests of the community which they serve at heart. They are keen business men of sound judgment and make an ideal group to look after the banking interests of this community. Mr. Savage is a resident of Miles City but has interests in this city and is a big booster for Eastern Montana.

Treasure State Tabloids The recently completed handsome and spacious new home of the Butte Lodge of Elks was formally dedicated November 21st. At its last regular meeting the Glendive city council voted to buy the east half of block 43 in Prospect Heights as an addition to Lloyd park. This gives a desirable addition to the beautiful park around the swimming pool. Three hearses abreast bore the bodles of Mrs. Ottilia Schmidt and her two daughters, Mrs. Madeline Borrelli and Miss Bertha Schmldt, victims of a tragic shooting at Butte, to their graves. Mrs. Borrelli shot and killed Mrs. Schmidt, her mother, and Bertha Schmidt, her sister, and then killed herself at the family home. At Granite park in the wilds of Glacier National park the summer tourists have fed so much chocolate candy to the black bears that the animals got into the habit of staging a comeback for more goodies by climbing onto the roofs in the dead of night. In order to keep the beggars from disturbing the sleep of the tourists, the roofs of the chalets were spiked with inverted nails. Dillings policemen set a high mark in crime detection for ambitious sleuths when they arrested Frank Haskins, a school janitor, on a charge of stealing 75,000 cigarets from a wholesale house and recovered all of the plunder before the victimized firm had discovered its loss. Haskins, it is said by the police, confessed the burglary and aided them in recovering the loot, theft of which started several weeks ago. Margaret McIntyre, 11-year-old member of the Scobey 4-H clothing club, was awarded highest honors in Daniels county when clothing club articles were judged at County Agent A. W. Warden's office.

The scholarship will be available at any time the recipient is ready to go to college. C. J. Russell, receiver for the Baker State bank, is now paying out checks on a 15 per cent dividend.

Miles City, Mont.-Ed Robbins, of the Coalwood neighborhood, spent much of his time this summer raising a flock of fancy turkeys for the Thanksgiving market. The birds were all fat and in fine condition when Robbins came to the city to have a tooth pulled. He returned home in the evening and found that someone had driven to his home in a truck and had stolen more than $100 worth of the birds. c The Rev. Arthur D.
