THE COUNTRY BANKER.

His Influence on National Finance DUR
+ ing Crop Harvesting.
Enter the small town for almost any
purpOse-to sell books, to seek loca-
tion to look up land titles. to write life
insurance. to get news story. TO col
lect debt-and early in your visit you
will go to the ornate. imposing build
Ing on the corner Of the two busiest
streets. You will pass Il lattice crown
ed counter and be admitted to q room
large enough only to hold desk and
two chairs. There you will come face
to face with the towns financier, the
Pierpont Morgan of the community, the
banker Not an enterprise, not a con-
siderable business undertaking. is
started without consultation with him.
The man who sells farm and wishes
to put his money where it will earn in
terest goes to the banker. The widow
with a few thousand dollars Of life in
surance-more money than she ever
saw together in all her life before
asks the banker how to invest it. 1t
would be better if more Of this class
would take the bankers advice when
1t is given Then there is the merchant
who owes for large portion Of his
goods. He comes nervously asking if
the bank will "see him through" the dull
season. The banker gives assent to
one, explains to another. refuses third
and comes at last to read unconscious
~ the business record of every man he
meets on the street
The country banker exerts his great
est influence on national finance dur
Ing the crop harvesting season. Wheth-
er It be in the gathering of fruit in
California. of cotton In the south or Of
wheat in the plains region. the banker
comes in direct touch with the worker.
Take the wheat harvest as covering
the widest area and creating the most
intense demand during its existence.
In single state 10000 harvesters are
needed besides those already at work
on the farms. Through the labor bu-
reaus and railway departments whole
train loads Of workers are secured from
states at a distance. These helpers are
mostly itlnerants, and they have no To-
cal standing. A grain raiser went
among his laborers one Saturday night
and. asking their names. proceeded to
make out checks for the weeks work
what shall we do with them 2" ask
ed one.
"Cash them at the bank. Of course"
"Who will identify us?''
The employer saw the point, tore up
the checks and secured currency with
which to pay the men. That made a
demand on the bank. Scores Of other
farmers were doing the same thing.
Hundreds of other communities did it.
The result is that the country bankers
draw millions Of dollars from the IRE
serve centers" every harvest and to
some degree change national financial
currents thereby.-C. M. Harger in At

grain, great care being used to have
every kernel thoroughly matted, thus
destroying the germ and producing
predigested liquid food in the form
of malt essence, which is the most
effective tonic stimulant and invigor-

warmth and moisture, its palatability
and freedom from injurious sub

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
FROM MONDAYS DAYLY

Nine,y-utna years ago ,@jay in a doorles, log hu, in old Kentucky was born a child that became the greatest living American, and now that he has been dead well on toward a half cen uury his memory is more reyered, his ability and manly character more ap- prectated than those Q. any other American.
 Abrahaaa Lincoln rose from the humblus, auu most obscure origin to che first place in th, hearts of his countrymen by force of au inherent power that tmue,.6 u.m ever onward to the sacrifice of his own fife in the interest, os man and united country.
 LfucoIu', ltle wa, not a happy one only a, h. derived nappluo-, from aIeyta,iug rne suffering and soothing the sorrow O. those to whom he could extend helping hand. Sentiment never waned in his noble heart even though the girl he loved died iu her youth. Through the iu,urumeutaiity of busyb0die, ha was led to marry a woman whose life and spirit were never in harmony with his own and who often led him merry dance. This very fact may have led him the more consistently to seek comfort in the hearts of his couutrymeu since he found little of it in theplace he should have been able to call his home.
 Washington has won the distinction of being called the Father of his Coun- try, but it is a greater thing to edu- cate the heart and mind of the couu- try than to be simply the father of it.. This is what Lincoln did while he lived, and has been doing iu a greatly increased ratio since he has been dead.
 The Father of his Country had his place which he filled more nobly than could have been done by any other, but Lincoln, born of the people, with his sterling honesty, kindly spirit and great loving heart touches and lifts and inspires humanity as no other American living or dead has ever been able to do.

Land and Mineral Decisions

Published by Woodford D. Harlan. land attorney, Washington, D. C.
 Mineral Land The burden of proof is properly upon one alleging the min eral character of tract that has, pri- or thereto, been adjudged mineral.
 Mining Claim-The result of pro- ceedings in which the parties thereto have had full opportunity to present evidence according to the recognized rules of procedure, should not be dis turbed by the report of a Special Agent on the entry involved.
 Reservation-An executive order of the President declaring Reservation will be held constitutional until other wise judicially decided
 ReSidence-C Cannot he established through the act of another,
 ReSidence-The land is the entry mans home, if he established resi- dence on it, so long as his family oc- cupies it.
 Se,t!ement-On One who goes upon land covered by an existing entry, with in- tent to acquire the same as home stead, and purchases the relinquiSh- mcnt of said entry, together with the improvements and household effects of the entryman, and thereupon as sumeS possession of the premises, int- tiates right superior to the claim of another who, with full knowledge of the said facts, subsequently,, and prior to the fling of the relinquishmen', set ties on said land
 $ HPractice-A case should not be ad- vanced for consideration unless q de- nial of such action would result in a public injury or injustice.
 Practice-Papers are not filed when received at the local office during a vacancy in the office of either Register or Receiver
 Mineral-Agricultural-The exist ence of gold in non paying quantities will not preclude agricultural entry on land.

 Homeslead-Townsite-An entry im- properly allowed of land reserved for townsite purposes by an act of March 3, 1877, may be permitted to stand, when subsequently the town is disin- corporated and no adverse claim eX- iStS
