News From Over The County
BANKING AND THE COST OF
LIVING.

B. F. Yoakum, chairman Of the
board OF directors Of the St. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad, has writ
ten an article for the magazine, the
Worlds Work, ON the cost Of living.
He finds that the high cost Of living
in the United States is due In large
measure to the excessive burden Of
interest charges laid upon the farm
er by the inadequate credit facilities
Of our antiquated and clumsy bank
ing system. The total interest paid
annually by the farmer, Mr.. Yoakm
estimates, is about $3.50 900, 900. The
average rate of interest Is s ~ per
cent. The farmer, in MIR. Yoakum IS
opinion, pays $21O,OOO,OOO interest
more than he should be required to
pay. OF course, that goes into the
cost OF the consumer of the farmers
products. The way to remedy this
situation is by reforming the worst
banking system now known in the
civilized world.

Attractive Literature All
Boost the Southern
Territory.

The Southern Railway has long de-
voted much attention to fair and ex-
position exhibits, showing the re-
sources and products Of the South
eastern States. This years exhibit
work is almost entirely within its own
territory. At state and other large
fairs and exposition its is making
comprehensive exhibits, largely agri-
cultural, which are mostly of an edu-
caticnal character, and which show
what the people of the Southeast and
of special communities may do. A
large exhibit will be made in NoVem-
Der at New York City.
In the line of publicity for calling
attention to the opportunities of the
Southeast, liberal amounts are appro-
priated. The Southern Field, giving
information about all the Systems
territory, is widely and regularly cir
culated. Booklets descriptive of the
different states, publications relating
to the various lines of farming, PAM
phlets giving general or special in
formation or lists of lands or business
opportunities are published for the
benefit of homeseekers and manufac-
turers.
In advertising opportunities in. the
Southeast agricultural, trade and gen
eral publications in the North are
used and special advertising is done
in Europe.

Congress.
New York.-At the American Land
and Irrigation exposition, which re-
Gently opened at Madison Square Gar
den, there are displays of farm and
orchard products from every portion

expended several thousand dollars in
collecting material for exhibit purpos-
es from all parts of the territory serv-
ed by it's lines.
The Southern railways booth is six
ty feet long and the arrangements of

tractice. There are exhibits of cot
ton, tobacco, the grains, grasses and
forage, crops, sugar cane, and all
kinds Of garden truck and an unusual
ly fine fruit display. The walls are
covered by large map of the South,
sheaves of grain and grasses, a score
of large colored photographs Of typi-
cal Southern farm, field and orchard

the Southern apple-growing districts
are surpassed by none. Special liter
ature has been prepared for circula-
ton at the exposition telling OF the
Southeastern states and especially OF
their farmlands and products.
Each day an illustrated lecture on
the Southeast is delivered by M. A.
