Soon after the war, when banking

old country friend in one of the south
west countries, a farmer went to the
bank to secure a loan Of $1,000 for
five years. OF course, this made the
man behind the grating open his eyes
and look at him with wonder and as
constituent, and the farmer was told
that they could not make provision for
such a loan as that unless they had
the most satisfactory collateral that
could he obtained.
THE old fellow asked, 'Collat what.
"Collateral," the banker answered,
"'Well, what is that?' the farmer
asked.
THE banker went on to describe the

| are meant by the term collateral. The
old farmer said, We'll. if / had those

| Well said the banker, you can't
| get the money unless you succeed In
| getting some of those Collatcrals, and
then we might discount your note

some personal Endorsements, and also
| in getting his own name upon the

! Chicago. June 80. The usual trouble
over the rates to the G.. y. r. encamp-

Of the railroads.. AS IN previous years
the Western roads have agreed to a rate
Of one fare for the round trip, or about
~ cents a mile. This is not a sufficient
reduction to satisfy the veterans, how
ever. and they are trying to secure a
rate of l cent a mile.
The roads say they would be willing to
make the 1~-cent-a-mile fare If it were
confined to the G.. A. r. veterans: but the
trouble lies in the fact that the old SOL
iiers form only a portion of the great
numbers who take advantage of the low
rate. They say the numbe of veterans
who make the annual pilgrimage is grow
Ing less and less each year, and the num-
Ger of outsiders is growing equally larger
