STATE BANK UF BELT BREAK
GROUND FOR 20-26 ADDITION
Following the transfer of a plot of
land lying in the rear of the present
site of the State Bank of Belt from
• - Tttdvin S h a rr a rd and wii« t o -t h e Stat e
Bank of Belt, grouid was broken Mon
day preliminary to the erection of a
one-story and basement addition to
the bank. The new addition will be
20x26 feet and will essentially double
the floor space of the bank. The
vault now in use in the bank will be
tom out and replaced in the new addi
tion by the erection of a new fire
proof and burglar-proof vault of mod -1
"Jem construction with two compart
ments, a double-decker, in fact, open
ing on the basement floor, as well as
on the main floor of the bank. The
addition will contain a full basement
of concrete walls and floor, the walls
of the addition being of brick to match
the main building and inside finish in
conformity to the present banking fix
tares. Nels Roman has the contract
for the excavating and concrete work, i
It is probable that the brickwork and
finish will be done under the super- j
vision of President L. B. Lockhart of
the bank. The estimated cost of the
improvements will be in The neighbor- j
hood of $3,000.
For some time plans for the en - 1
largement! of the bank have been under |
consideration by the directors of the !
institution, and even the erection of a
,*new building on a different site had
been considered, as it was evident that
the present facilities of the institution I
were inadequate and the handling of ;
its business has been hampered .hy a j
lack of room. The securing oiUbe ad- !
ditional land, however, solved the
problem satisfactorily, and with the
completion of the new addition the
-v added floor space will provide, quarters
' that will serve for many years for the
- oldest financial institution in Belt. !

The State Bank of Belt was organ
ized in 1894 by Gold T. Curtis and H.
J. Skinner under the name of the Bank,;
of Belt. Mr. Skinner later acquired
the interest of Mr. Curtis and for 27
years held the controlling interest and
the presidency of the bank, disposing
of h is interest last spring to L. R.
Lockhart, the present head - of the in
stitution. Praeticaly all the stock of
the bank is held by local people.
The bank, was priginally located
near the present site of the J. P.
Healey residence, the building being
moved to the site now occupied by the
bank in 1903. In 1911 the old frame
» building was moved away and the

For the one who depends on his own
camp outfit even the national parks
are well worth visiting in the late fall,
although of course there is the risk of
being snowed in among the higher
ranges. The late sojourners in the
. parks are not annoyed by fees and
rules, anyway, and can hit up any
speed they desire. The natural won
dew are on display all the time and
the person who enjoys nature can View
it in comparative solitude, which is in
reality the only way to contemplate
the grandeur of our national parks.

received their county tax bills this

crease in the amount that the county
demands of its tax paying population,
The decrease is slight,'to be sure; but
at least it is hopeful and points to the
fact that there has been an attempt

hoping, anyway.

the ta x bills show, owintr to the fact

LISTEN FOR A MINUTE

Modern life shows an increasing tendency among the
younger generation to forsake the old home nest. The call
is to do the greater things in the^ig world where adventure
_and a chiev eme nt ever holds out its lure. *^ p r 27 years th e
Belt Valley Times has witnessed and chronicled the depart
ure of young men and young women of our home community
into the great unknown fields of endeavor and has found a
keen pleasure in noting their progress as its trickled back to
the old home nest by letter or an occasional visit. From the
thousands of small town communities are recruited the force
that makes the nation what it is today. We often wonder
how much the inspiration to accomplishment is given to the
young people of the community by the accounts of the suc
cess of those from the home town who have gone out into the
worfcl and their good fortune made known through the col
ums of the Belt Valley Times.
This is only one idea that occurred to us in analysing*
the place of the country newspaper in the community. The
interest that the old home paper has to one who is sojourn
ing in the outer world is so well known that there is no nec
tssity for enlarging upon that question. The real question
is, what does the home town paper do for you? What is its
real status and where does it fit into community life ?

Personally, our opinion is that all country' weeklies are
a good thing in the community, but some are better than
others. Perhaps a few things that we have tried to do with
tmr own paper will give a better idea of our personal opinion
t^iii abstract theorizing on the subject. First of all, a
newspaper, whether a country weekly or a city daily, is a
business enterprise, depending mainly upon its advertising
columns for success. It must have a circulation in order to
give value received for its advertising. To get the circula
tion its news columns must be filled with the happenings of
the day and the week, which must be written in a manner
acceptable and interesting to its readers. . A well balanced
paper must contain all the news, interesting advertising in
modern display type and an editorial department. The
value of the latter may be questioned, but it is accepted as
such and a well established part of every newspaper of any
standing. It is what is done and how well done in those
three departments that determines the success of any paper.
How hjwjJhe Belt Valley Times fulfilled these require
WMkight
vi
dispose of the question by stating that
ments ?
it has been published continuously for 27 years, and let it
go^at that. —Itistt fairly compl e t e answ e r, but leaven o t tt
altogether the aims, ambitions and the sense of failures and
shortcomings that have occupied the minds of the publishers
at various times in that period. At times we thought we
were doing fairly well, and at other times there has been a
feeling that we should have done much better.
Beginning with the editorial department, we will Bay
- 1 frankly that we have made Ijttfc/attempt Co mold public
j opinion. We never felt qualified for that large task and
have been merely satisfied to give our views upon any quea
tion of live interest in as clear a manner as we were capable
° f ' We have never insisted that we were absolutely right
: , in a ?>' debatable question. We have tried to be consistently
' loyal to all home interests and believe that our editorial col
urns have reflected that loyalty at all times.
' T ° man - V ° f 0Ur read orS we can say that. We have re
) ok, ed with their parents at their birth, have sympathized
with their youthful escapades, givèri timely publicity to their
progress in school and graduation into the struggle for a
, livelihood. It has been one of our greatest pleasures to
write of the successes made by the boys and girls of the old
home town who have elected to seek new field», and we are
1 glad to say that it has been an enjoyment of frequent occur
j ence . \V e have been called upon to voice sorrow in times of
mourning when language seems a poverty-stricken thing, en
tirely inadequate to convey our feelings. For mistakes and
failures, we prefer the light and easy touch and pass them ,
along with as little detail as consistent with our obligations
' " ncw»Katherer». In the matter of new», we like to write of
( the brighter things, progress, upbuilding, optimistic things
that point to a better future, but in the nature of things a
