Made Dash in Winter.

New York.-Capt. B. S. Osbon, SEQ
rotary of the Arctic Club of America,
when told that DIR. Cook had reached
the north pole, leaped to his feet and
exclaimed: ,.
81 knew it. Only yesterday I wrote
to Mrs. Cook that l had a presentimeut
that her husband had reached the pole,
and that she would have c~onfirmatory
news of his feat in a few days."
Capt Osbon then said he is conidens
that Dr.. Cook, contrary to rules estab.
lished by other explorers, had made his
dash in the winter.
"Others, You know" he said, shave
always pickedlthe summer for their final
dash, and failure and disaster invariably
followed.
"The last heard of Cook was on March
II of last year. He was then at Cape
Thomas Hubbard, which, according to
our reckoning, is only 200 miles from
the pole. At that time there was no
open water dotting the ice, and he had
clear shedding to the pole"

practically the same as throughout the
rest of the Arctic zone, with possibly
the exception that it is more active.

helped us go astray on our return trip"
Choice of Routes.
Asked as to his views as to the rea-
son for the long line of failures and the
terrible death roll that has resulted
from previous attempts to reach the
pole, DR.. Cook said:
"In my opinion, the failure of these
attempts has been owing to the choice
of routes. Many, of course, have been
failures because of inadequate equip
ment, or the overlooking of the party.
1t is my opinion that any man skilled
in Arctic travel and educated in condi-
tions existing there, can, by travelling
light and in the winter time, and ad-
herring closely to the game country, du-
plicate my accomplishment.

In the course of the interview with
the Associated Press representative, on
board the Hans Egede, DR.. Cook declared
with great emphasis:

DELAWARE COUNTY MEN AGAIN

From Mmball's Dairy Farmer. an
agricultural paper published at Wat
erloo, Iowa, is taken the following
item concerning silo evidence. The
article explains itself:
Frank Childs of Masonville, Iowa,
received a cream check for $101.4O
for January, 1907. This was for the
yield of 23 cows upon dry ration.
The following summer Mr.. Childs
built silo 1896 feet. He filled this
from 20 acres of corn. Eighteen Of
the % COWS milked the previous JAM
uary yielded a check of $173.40 in
January, 1908. BY balancing his ra-
ton more accurately, II cows yield
ed $2O1.96 for January, 1909. Here
is an increase Of s1O0 in two years in
receipts with a decrease Of six or
over one-fourth the number of cows
MIXED. Mr.. Childs has just ordered
another 1895 silo.
Geo. S. Lister is patron of the
Spring Branch Creamery at Man
chester, Iowa. During the month o.
January his 10 cows gave s519 pount
of milk testing 3.S per cent The
price at the creamery was s1.33, max
ing the face value of the check $11S.
80. There is not ton of hay on Mr.
Listers farm. During the month hi
COWS were fed sl2 worth of cotton
seed meal, the balance Of the ratiol
being silage. The success of thes
two men is further evidence of tn
value of silage from the dairy stand

THE BANK AS A PUBLIC BENZ
FACTOR.

Every community owes more to III;
banking institution than the aver
age layman is inclined to believe.
This fact is readily demonstrated. A
bank is in an unusual degree, pub
lie institution.
Every business man, whether of
large means or small, must have
dealings with bank, and his success
or failure is largely dependent up.
on the line of credit that he is afford
ed by his bankers. Many man
owes his great success to the aid
that he received from his bank; with
out the capital that it loaned him
he never could have developed his
business to commanding and lucra-
tive position.
A bank is of even more Importance
to the nation than steam or electric
railroads or any other modern n4
ccssities; without banks to furnish
the capital for such enterprises, they
would never have been achieved.
Banks are of great benefit to the
rich and poor alike. They furnish
the business man capital and afford
the workman a safe place for his
saving and enable him to accumulate
something for the inevitable rainy
day. They also benefit salaried peo-
Pile by enabling the big corporations
to constantly expand. thereby Great
Ing large demand for labor. Ii
fact, the progress and prosperity OF
every community is dependent, to {
remarkable extent, upon its local
banks. This being true it is to the
interest of any citizen to do his part,
however small, in helping to upbuild
the financial institutions, which SC
directly affect his own prosperity as
well as that of his neighbor.
