CROP PROSPECTS GOOD
DR.. YOUNG GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
THE CROP SITUATION IN
THIS COUNTRY.

DR.. J. F. Young returned Saturday
from a trip over the western part OF
Carter county. where he has been on
business. The doctor is greatly inter
ested in farming lands owning a mum.
her of farms himself
While on the trip through the coun.
try Or. Young paid especial attention
~ the prospects of cotton and corn
this year. He stated that there was
plenty of corn in the field and that
the yield would probably be great
this year.
Dr Young stated that the cotton
acreage this year was the country
ho visited. some twenty percent short
er than last year This he ascrlbes to
the fact that In many instances the
farmers had 10 replant several times
In such instances many Of them would
replant part in cotton and part in
corn. This is the reason for so great
an acreage Of corn being planted.

HON. HoARDING WORKS.

Few people realize just how great
damage the withdrawal of currency
from banks and boarding it does. This
is especially true of persons with small
deposits-the ones who are most likely
to try to hide their money at home.
The law in Kansas requires banks to
keep at least 20 per cent of their de-
posits on hand in cash or sight ex-
change ready to pay depositors who
want their money. AS a matter of fact,
Kansas banks usually keep from 80 to
40 per cent. The rest is loaned out on
mortgages or notes and draws interest,
which enables the bank to run.
In the ordinary run of business that
20 per cent reserve" as it is called, is
abundantly large to meet all the de-
mands of the banks patrons for cash.
But suppose a lot of people suddenly
determine to take out their money and
hide it away-that money would no
longer be available to do business with.
The banks cash reserve runs below 20
per cent, and the first thing the bank
must do is to collect cash on some of
its notes. That makes hardship on
those who owe the bank, particularly
poor people who cannot readily raise
money.
1n1S TACT was eXeInp1lHeu III d SlTlh-
ing manner in a recent union labor
meeting in Chicago. The hot heads,
consisting principally of socialists who,
when pinned down, confessed that they
didn't have a dollar in the bank, were
determined to start legal proceedings
to compel the cash payment of all
checks so men could get their money
out and bury it if they wanted.to. thus
insuring panic that would carry many
solvent people down to ruin. Finally
James O'Connor of the Musicians I'M
ion got the floor and made a talk that
completely changed the sentiment of
the meeting He said: 81 have an ac-
count with bank. I am paying for a
home and it is mortgaged. borrowed
the money from the bank. Now that
money might have been deposited by
some of you. The bank can't pay you
the money because it loaned it to me.
Now, why should you injure me by
seeking to draw money out Of the bank
that you do not need, or trying to have
that bank declared insolvent? You are
a serious mistake and the sub
ject should not have been brought in
here"
When the vote was called for on the
motion only two delegates favored
starting proceedings to compel banks
to cash checks
Don't draw your money out of the
banks unless you need it to spend. In
that case you should have it, but don't
take it to hide away.

paid him with checks on the local
banks. Taking a bundle of checks
into bank he said to the cashier:
"Give me a draft on Kansas City for

the bundle. What do you want a

HDon't you want the cash % at didn't

THOSE CERTIFICATES.

without doubt Secretary Cortelyou
and the Roosevelt administration will
come in for considerable criticism
from political enemies for the issuance
of $10O,0O0,0OO of three per cent certi-
ficates of Indebtedness in addition to
100000 of Panama canal bonds.
The criticism will arise from the fact
that the government already has g.
large amount of money on deposit in
the banks, with more coming in all
the time, yet it gives notes to raise
more money that it does not really
need.
OF course the Panama canal bonds
may be expected, for bonds must be is
sued to build the canal, but the certi-
ficates of Indebtedness will be criti-
cised.
This move is made at this time SOLE
ly to aid the financial situation-to
ease the public mind, or rather the
minds of capital. While it will do no
harm to slow down a little from the
high speed at which we were travelling
commercially. there is a possibility
that Wall streets panic might put
the brake on too hard. Already the
prices of live stock and wheat have
dropped while packers and mfllers are
awaiting the outcome of the trouble.
A few manufacturers are no longer
running night and day in anticipation
of a largely increased trade but are only
taking care of their certain business.
A few men have been discharged but
if the brakes are not jammed down
hard they will find employment else
where, for in the past there have not
been enough men to do the work. Ev-
erybody knows there has been a short,
age of farm hands, carpenters, plumb
ers railroad graders, school ma'ams
and hired girls, and the chief harm
done. by the laying off of men here
and there is that they lose little time
by looking for other places.
Now the thing to be avoided is to
keep Wall streets panic" from going
too far. 1t has not done any real harm
thus far. This issuance of bonds and
certificates by the government is for
the purpose of easing the minds of
bankers, manufacturers and big bust
ness men generally that the money sit
uation will not be tight. The bond is
sue can be purchased by national
banks and used as a basis for the is
suance of fifty millions more currency
by them, and the certificate issue will
keep the government from checking
out the funds 1t has on deposit in the
banks.
When one stops to think about it, If
this action of the president and Secre-
tary Cortelyou will aid in stopping
further trouble, it was abundantly JUS
titled. The certificates bear three per
cent interest and there is about SIPS
of them for each person in the United
States. That would make the cost
about four cents per capita or 20 cents
for an average family.
If the issue will keep a few thou
sand laboring men from being thrown
out of work temporarily; if it will pre-
serve business good will and keep the
wheels Of industry running smoothly;
