FARMERS BANK TO INCREASE CAFITAL STOCK At a directors' meeting held at the Farmers Bank & Trust Co., Tuesday, the regular semi-annual six per cent dividend was declared. The directors unanimously passed a resolution calling for a meeting of the stockholders, to be held in Aug ust, for the purpose of discussing a plan for the increasing of the bank's authorized capital stock to $500,000. At present the paid in capital stock of the bank is SIOO,OOO and this will likely be increased to $200,000. It is the intention of the directors to offer some of the new stock to new people and the balance to go to old stockholders. This move of the progressive bank to increase its authorized capital stock will likely go into effect in the early fall. The Farmers Bank, established in 1915, has had a successful career, growing into the largest country bank in the Tenth Congressional dis trict. The total resources have gone beyond the two million mark. The bank's success and steady growth is a source of pride to the county and is attributable to tho ex cellent handling of the bank's affairs by a set of officers and directors who are the foremost business men in this section of the state.

Its complete success is assured and the bank seems destined to a splendid future under the splendid management of a most capable board of directors and experienced officers.
