STATE BANKS
LOSE DEPOSITS
COLORADO BANKS SHOW TEND
} ENCY TO CONFORM TO AFTER.
| WAR CONDITIONS — CONDI
| TION IS CONSIDERED VERY
SOUND IN EVERY WAY.
Deposits in the banks of Colorado
at the beginning of 1924 were
$299,786,014.22, compared with
$304,585,996.57 at the beginning of
1923, according to compilations made
by the State Board of Immigration.
| The decrease is but 1.6 per cent,
|which is regarded as an excellent
showing in view of the financial de
|pression that has affected the agri
cultural districts of the west and
Inorthwest for the past two years.
These fgures indicate that loss of
‘ deposits in Colorado has been higher
lin the past twelve months than in
| any other state in this section of the
[ country.
| During the period there have been
| increases in deposits in 31 counties
| of the state and decreases in 30
counties. Two counties have no
Ibanks. In a general way it may be
| said that bank deposits have in
[ creased in the mining counties, the
|'San Luis valley, the principal fruti
growing counties and the counties
where there was large production of
sugar beets. There have been de
creases in Denver, ElI Paso and Pu
eblo counties, which inciude the three
largest cities in the state, and most
of the non-irrigated farming coun
ties have shown decreases., The fig
|ures generally reflect economical
| cenditions in the state rather accu
‘lm'.ul_\', as the districts in which de-
Ipusits have increased are quite
Epl: inly ‘more prosperous than they
were a year ago.
l Loans and discounts have been
| further reduced in the past twelve
| months as the banks have continued
I their efforts to accommodate their
:husinoss to the conditions that con
| fronted them when the post-war
‘periud of depression began in 1920.
| At that 4¢ime loans carried by banks
lin all parts of the country were
lheavy and great difficulty in collec
tions was met when the depression
!struck the agricultural districts.
Loans and discounts at the beginning
|of the year were $188,994,720.92,
| compared with $193,293,542.59 at
' the beginning of 1923, Loanse have
| been reduced very sharply in the ag
lricu]turu] districts, where land was
!the security behind much of the out
| standing paper. Inquiries made re
| cently by the co-operative crop re
porting service of the state show
| that the average value of land per
acre for the state has fallen rather
| sharply in the past year, a <'0lllillll{l
tion of the decline that began in
1920, It has been necessary to re
| duce bank loans materially to meet
this loss in the value of the security
| behind the loans.
| Banks of the state may be regard
'ed as being now in a sounder posi
tion as regard to loans than they
have been at any time since the de
| pression began,

What Are the Wild Waves Saying?

| Monday morning of this week, the
’Sophomure roll call put on a most
entertaining program, The pro

;lilemry characters.i Prizes were giv

first prizes.
This is Sophomore week and all
entertainments and assembly pro
grams are in charge of that class.
Wednesday morning they securved as
the speaker for assembly, L. D. Mey
er of Denver. Mr. Meyers’ talk.was
on “The Ladder of Life”. It was a
very inspiring talk and carried with
it a message for everyone. “The Lad
der of Life reaches from the cradle
to the grave. It is shortened with
neglect and broadened and lengthen
ed with care and use. Some use the
ladder as a raft and float along the
lines of least resistance. In climbing
a ladder the first step is Honesty.
The other rungs of a ladder follow
in this order: Knowledge, Work,
Ability, Enthusiasm, Courage, Study,
Reading, Observation, Loyalty, Dis
cussion, Diplomacy, Tact.” Mr, Mey
er, in closing gave several points
which are to be remembered. “There
are three things which we should (-un-‘
trol—temper, tongue and (-nmluct.‘
There are three things to despise—
ereed, arrogance and ingratitude,
Three things to wish for—friends,
