Dempsey is happy How are you!
5000, 900 people in the United States
and foreign countries use the Garland
Stoves. Every one of them is happy
The Garland Stove is the best stove
made. No stove dealer will tell you he
has y better stove than the Garland. If
he does he either don't know or else he
is trying to work you. The price, OF
course, is a little higher; the quality is
a great deal higher. Moral: See
Dempsey and be happy.
You rob yourself, your wife and chill
dren when you buy a cheap, rough,
hard looking, scrap iron stove.
WHY not come today and look tomor-
row and buy and forever be happy!

NATIONAL BANK LOAN
BILL PASSES HOUSE
Provides for the Advancing of Money
on Real Estate as the Sc.
curity.
(by Associated Press.1


WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 5-The
bill permitting National banking as
sociations to make loans on real es-
tate as security and limiting the
amount of such loans, passed the
house today by vote of Ill to 81.
The bankers in the house urged the
passage of the bill, while the oppon-
ents of the measure insisted that real
estate was not a proper security for
National banks. They contended that
the system had proved failure
wherever 1t had been tried. Mr.. De-
Armand of Missouri, thought the bill
was bad as it would tend to limit the
power OF the state banks. Any man
who has unincumbered real estate can
get loan at a lower rate of interest
from loaning companies than he can
from q bank, he said.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, and Mr.. WI.
liams of Mississippi, the minority
leader, were enthusiastic in favor
OF the measure, saying that the bill
would aid the farmers greatly and
have tendency to reduce stock spec
ulation. Representative Hill of Con-
necticut took the position that the bill
had not been asked for by many ma
tional banks and expressed the opin-
ion that 1t would be dangerous pre-
cedent to establish.
