Northern and 500 lines at the little
waySide stations are the tall buildings
of the grain elevators. and here are
to be found the buyers for the grain
firms. To them the farmer brings his
wheat. receives voucher called Il
grain ticket specifying the weight of
the grain he has sold and the price
to be paid for it, These tickets are
cashed at the local banks. or, If there
is no bank. by the country storekeep-
ers, arrangements for supplying the
latter with notes for this purpose hav-
ing been made by the companies.
Cheques are seldom used in transac-
tions of this kind with the farming
community. At this season of the year
the business OF a country bank even
in very small places will be very ac-
tive. and large sums are daily paid
out over the counters.
The banks are empowered under the
bank laws to acquire warehouse re-
ceipts and bills of lading as collateral
security and to lend money to whole
sale shippers. or purchasers of. or
dealers in agricultural products upon
the security OF such products So the
banks readily make advances to the
grain in their possession Then when
it is shipped by the wholesale dealer
the advances are retired by drafts
on the purchasers with bills of laiing
attached. If the grain is to be en-
ported the bill of lading is usually re-
placed at the port OF shipment by an
turn attached TO Il bill of exchange on

PROFIT IN ACAT ISLAND.

He has $1,000. He is looking for
man with more capital and good
head for managing cat island. His
scheme is this:
Up in the northern part OF Lake
Michigan is little island four miles
long and one mile wide, He proposes
to erect there extensive sheds. There
is plenty of vegetation and there are
no animal inhabitants. When the
buildings are up he will have cat
catchers so to work in Chicago and
capture 10000 cats. Their pelts are
worth Is cents each
He will put them on the island and
buy up dead horses and old meat from
the stockyards and have it dumped
there from time 10 time. The cats will
be left for four wears. eating this food
and growing wild This will make
their fur more valuable
Then a cat abaItoir will be created
They will have propagated and multi
piled and 10000 cats can be killed
year, their skins worth from Is TO IS
cents each. netting the proprietors of
this unique industry $4,000 a year

A Great Flood in China

But the damage did not end outside

the streets to dry after the catastrophe
one Is convinced that a large part of
the city must have been drenchei.
When the extent OF the danger was
realized the officials of the city, coming
in solemn procession to the waters
edge and kneeling with their heads
touching the ground, besought the ri
YER to desist. They even threw in
their buttons. the emblems of literary
degrees and ranks of Office. But it

In this way laid in enough firewood to

were seized by others to improve the
equipment of their houses. At one
place on the shore two coolies pulled

1t is hard to get satisfactory gauge
of the proportions of the flood for
American readers; but a few things
may help to indicate them. The rain

II Is fair to say that conditions were
the same as would be necessary to
raise q streetcar fare to 81 in Chicago
or New York. The unusualness of a
flood OF this size Is shown by the fact
that the local prefectural records,
which are complete for 500 years,

Is that given by the British warship
Widgeon. lying at this time in the Min,
just OF the east gate of Suifu. Cap
tain Simpson says that when he first
arrived about three weeks before the
flood. he anchored beside sandbank,
the river then being high, yet below
high level.
After the flood and when the water
had gone down about eight feet he
calculated that he was directly over
this bank, his soundings showing a
depth of 10 fathOms. He believes it
no exaggeration to say that there was
a rise In the river after he arrived of
81 feet. Recollecting that when he
arrived the water was two-score
feet above the low water of win
ter. one is brought to realize some
thing of the capacity for damage that
these Chinese rivers possess.
The project Of Suifu is collecting
records of the flood and its damage by
the laborious and uncertain Chinese
methods. He will probably never ar
rive at accurate results, and perhaps
better methods might fall short, too.
However, 1t is probably we'll within
the limit to say that more than a score

places will have their own tales of
disaster and losses to add to this, max

would set the world aghast. But here
there will be comparatively few who
will ever know the calamity that has
befallen their own countrymen, and
many of these only after weeks have
intervened.-Springfield Republican.

Finances-More Currency Is

About North Dakota's Mill
ing Industry.

Very few people in this great state
of North Dakota. with its wonderful
wealth of golden grain. stop to reali-
ize how large an amount of money
it takes to pay the farmer for the
grain which he haulS to the elevator
in town. Not only do people fail to
appreciate the amount OF money but
they do not seem TO realize the still
greater problem OF how TO supply this
money or currency and have it ready
to slip into the hardened hand OF the
tiller of the soil
The two features of the banking syS-
TEN of the United States that play an
important part in this moving OF the

and state banks which spring up in
every town to the number OF three
and four, almost before the town is
plated and surveyed off. Indeed. IN
some of the newer towns OF the state
on the branches OF the Great North
ern and 500 railroads. three and four
banks to village are not an unconl-
mon sight.
The bank note currency in this coun-
try forms by far the greatest part of
the money handled. The common five

commoner forms of money seen in
North Dakota. although farther east

still going the rounds However. gold
