DEBTS OF FARMER AS CLASS
LESS THAN ANY OTHER
{ BY Lord Ogilvy.)

I BY LORD OSllNN.1
We have received the first number
az the Banker-Farmer newspaper. of
which B. F. Harris is editor. II is pub
lished at Champaign. Illinois.
The object of the Banker-Farmer is
TO bring bankers and farmers in closer
touch and cooperation for better and
stronger agriculture along permanent
lines that shall both conserve and
render active the fertility of the land.
Many of our banks have realized that
their growth was bound up with agri-
cultural prosperity. and there is very
large class of farmer-bankers as we'll
as banker-farmers. and when there is
that kind of bank in locality one
usually finds a progressive community.
The Banker-Farmer realizes that
there has been great producing class
OF tenants who have been i'll provided
for and that their welfare must now
be considered as well as that of prop
erty owners If production is to contin-
ue to meet expanding markets.
Down in the corn belt and farther
east the owners credit may be good.
but the tenant is the man who is grow
ing the crop. and every day that re-
stricts his credit, makes him a less ef-
ficient producer.
We have roundly $4,000. 900. 600 in
farm lands and buildings and total
OF SAL ,00o. 600, 900 of machinery and
livestock are included. Our 1910 cen.
sus shows 6.S6l. 500 farms in the Unit
ed States, of which S.94S 722, or 90 per
cent, are operated by their owners.
About two-thirds of them. or 2,5SS.506,
are free of debt, and the balance carry
mortgage debt of Sl,126, ,l12.S5l,
equal to 27.S per cent of their land and
building values. The census does not
undertake to show the Indebtedness of
the remaining IS per cent of farms
which are operated by tenants or man.
ayers.
The total Indebtedness on all farm
property and of the farmers through
mortgage and personal note, cannot.
1t seems, exceed 10 per cent. We
know of no other class of business
or industry that will show as small
rate of Indebtedness. While the
average farm mortgage is Sl.11o, as
against s1.224 in 1890, yet the owners
equity would clearly indicate. from the
debt point of view. that financing is
not seriously crowding the farmer, and
that he is u desirable borrower, II he
Is good or constructive farmer.

STORIES OF THE WAR THAT
REACH TO THE HEART

tFy ]. A. Watrous, lieutenant colonel
L. S. A. retired)
There is a colored man in New
Orleans who is well known, even out
side of his state. He has been at the
head of the Grand Army of the he
public in that department and is
wise leader of his people. He is
known as Colonel Lewis. He was one
OF the first to take an interest in
organizing colored troops for service
in the civil war. In an engagement,
not far from New Orleans, a number
of confederates were captured and
placed in charge of Captain Lewis
to be taken to the city. The prisoners
were aboard steamboat. There
was a disposition on the part of some
of the federal soldiers to be unkind
and discourteous to them. Lewis
knew most of the men who had been
consigned to his charge-knew them
to be respected citizens before the
war, in the professions and in busi-
ness. He let il be known at once that
and courteously, and that was done
the rest of the journey. When they
reached the city it was necessary, to
avoid a long march, for the prisoners
to take street cars.
Captain Lewis took his place in one
of the cars and was promptly notified
by the conductor that he would not be
allowed to ride with the white men
One of the confederate prisoners ar
gued with the conductor that they pre-
ferred to have him ride with them,
saying that he had extended proper
treatment to them on their way from
the front. The conductor would not
have il He said Lewis must leave.
Well. he will not leave" said
leader among the prisoners, whereat
four or five took possession of the
conductor. threw him from the car
and one OF their number was assigned
the duties Of conductor. More evil
dence that a worthy man. no matter
what his color. finds friends where
ever he may be.

meal an order was received from
jackson to start at once upon a re-
turn forced march. The division COM
mander, who had not long been con-
nected with Stonewall Jackson's
corps of foot cavalry, was indignant.
He reported to General Jackson in a
bad humor and asked the general if
he should change the camp of his di-
vision. Jackson, who was sitting on a
fence sucking a lemon, looked at the
division commander an instant, and
then paying no attention to his ques-
ton, asked:
General. what do you do when you
men straggle?"
That only added to the anger of
the division commander.
He didn't trust himself to answer,
but mustered up courage to ask Gen
eral Jackson why he had sent him off
on that twenty-mile forced march and
then ordered him back on a similar
march.
General. can you keep a secret?''
asked Jackson.
The division commander intimated
that he could, and stonewall said:
So can l."

One of the most patriotic and sin
.cere lovers of his country ever met,
a native of South Caroline, a boy of
S or 10 years at the close OF the civil
war related this story:
My father had been a confederate
soldier. We lost everything as the
result of the war. People of the pres
ent day know nothing about the hard
times thousands of the southern peo-
pie had the first few years after the
war
There came a time when there was
no bread in the house. and a cluster
OF hungry children crying for food.
Early that evening my mother came
to me and said:
Il want you to go to the village
with me. but you mustn't let your IA
ther know we are going. He is al
ready much broken in health, and it
would distress him 10 know We are
out in these times when it is hardly
safe for women and children to be
seen on the street after dark
Hungry and barefooted, I ran by
the side of my mother. holding her
hand and wondering what she would
do at the store. l knew she had no
money. l saw my mother take from
her finger her wedding ring and ask
the merchant how much be would al
low her in trade for it. A bargain
was made, and the ring given. / saw
the tears in her eyes, and it sent an
ache TO my heart. l grew up with
that ache. and IT hasn't yet wholly
ceased to hurt 1t was hard for all
OF the south in those gripping times
Brighter days came for that family
But that is another story.

young officer of western regi-
ment who lost leg at the last battle
of Port Hudson. chose for his honey
moon journey a ride down the Mississ-
ippi to New Orleans. 1t was more
than forty years ago, soon after the
a woman came on board who was
introduced to the major and his bride.
After dinner she suggested that they
have a game OF cards. She chose the
young officer as her partner and help
ed the bride to find a partner. The
game proved interesting until the SUBJ
ject OF the war came up. 1t was known
at once that the new passenger was
an ardent southerner. who had in no
sense been reconstructed. She hated
the north and the federal army. In
spite OF the efforts of the major and
his wife to head off talk about the
war the woman persisted in bringing
up and enumerated instances where,
committed crime indescribable. The
major. being a mild-mannered man.
allowed the woman to talk without in
torruption for some time.
The dam finally broke loose.
"You are northerner aren't you?"
Il am" said the maicv
Were you in the federal army
Il was"
Were you at the battle OF Port
Hudson?"
Il was wounded there
That was where my husband was
killed" Then she threw her cards
upon the table. became furious, and
insisted that the major had insulted
her. She caused the captain of the
boat to appear, insisted that the major
be horsewhipped, and that he and his
bride be set on shore.
II has never been wholesome in the
south to have story circulated that
a woman had been insulted by man,
or course there was no insult made
but the frenzied woman made other
passengers believe there had been.
The major was not disturbed, but
thought It well enough to have his
revolver at convenient point in the
stateroom until the next day. when
the widow left the boat in disgust be
cause her fellow southerners would
not join her in Furnishing the one
legged federal soldier.
Such an incident could not occur In
the south today. The bitterness OF
those days has entirely disappeared
and should the majors son upon his
bridal tour down the Mississippi come
In contact with the widow of con
federate soldier, or his daughters and
their male relatives and friends. he
would receive most kindly and most
courteous treatment.
