A Banker Who Loaned Money to a
SalOonkeeper But Not to Farmer.

In an article entitled Loans for
Farm improvements" in the current
issue of Farm and Fireside appears
the following:
Some bankers, it has often
seemed to me, have been slow to
adopt modern ideas. In many cases
they have retarded agricultural de-
velopment. have known them to
refuse loans to good farmers, and
upon good security, for the purchase
of fencing, silos, lime, fertilizer and
improved live stock.
81 know of case where man
has borrowed $500 for a saloon
license, with very little trouble and
little security, yet the same bank
advised a good farmer against in
vesting $100 in a pure. bred bull
calf.
"a certain man has 80 acres of
fair land. He has such improvements
as he has been able to make. His
land cost him $1,000 and is worth
the money. He wants to fence the
entire farm and to cut it into two
fields. This will give him plenty of
pasture and protect the crop upon
his tillable land. He has two cows
and wants to buy three more. He
wants part of a car of ground lime
stone and some ground phosphate
rock. He wants little clover seed
and few hundred good apple trees.
He believes in good fences, good till
age and good stock. He says that
$500 would put his farm upon a
paying basis. l firmly believe that
with the improvements he desires
put upon the place as he would put
them there, his farm would be worth
over $4,000.
THE local banker Ioes not loar
money upon farm lands. He lends
entirely upon secured notes and chat.
tel mortgages. He loans for short
time only, 60 days being the usual
period. My friend the S0-acre
farmer, has good security for 5000
and If he could get it for five years
at per cent he could put his farm
upon paying basis.
This is a typical case and a fair
one, for this farmer is capable and
intelligent man, and he needs the
money"

Right to Control Canal.

Washington, April 26.--Both in
set speeches and the discussion,
speakers at today's meeting of the
American Society of International
Law maintained the United States
was under moral as well as interna-
tional obligations to submit the Pan
anna canal tolls controversy to arbi-
tration.
1t was also held by several of the
speakers that congress should imme-
diately repeal the tolls exemption act
and submit the subject to diplomatic
negotiation.
Hannis Taylor, former minister
to Spain, declared that upon the set
tlement of the controversy hinged a
century-old friendship of the United
States and Great Britain. Amos H.
Herspey, professor of international
law in the University of Indiana, an
other speaker, desired the question
submitted to arbitration
A letter of similar tenor from Pro-
fessor John Westlake of London was
read, but he maintained it was neces-

King George Offered a Job.

The death of King George recalls
a true story told in Paris few years
ago. King George, democratic in the
extreme, was exceedingly shrewd in
business affairs, loved a Joke and
thoroughly appreciated an unusual
situation.
On one of his unheralded trips to
Paris the monarch made the ac-
quaintance on the train of Chicago
stock broker, who soon discovered
that his travelling companion was as
we'll posted as he on matters finan-
cial.
Say" exclaimed the Chicago man
after the stranger had expressed a
keen opinion on some shares then
prominent in the market, you seem
to be a pretty clever sort of chap.
Where do you live?"
"Oh, I live in Athens" quietly an
swered the king.
"Athens!" snorted the other.
ATHENS! Why, that's no place at
all. There is no business there.
Athens Great Scott, man, Chica-
go's the place for man of your bus
mess ability. You'd have a chance
there. Say, I'll tell you what I'll
do You come out to Chicago and
I'll guarantee that in year you'll
be partner in my firm; and we've
got a good business, too. Come on. !"
Very nice of you," retorted the
king of the Hellenes, "but I'm afraid
I've got to stay in Athens. You see,
my time is pretty well taken up with
my affairs, and l imagine l shall
have to remain where l am
What business are you in?"
bluntly inquired the other.
WELL" quietly answered the mon
arch, 81 am the king OF the Hell
lenes."
The Chicago man, utterly disgust
ed, glanced sharply at his acquaint-
ance, but said nothing, his attitude
being that of man who felt that
he was being "stung."
A few days later the Chicago man
was seated in front of the Cafe de
la Paix, chatting. A small group of
men passed. One of the looked in
the direction of the Chicago man,
raised his hat and smiled. The Chi
cago man raised his hat and smiled.
One of. the latter's companions
stared at the little passage of sa-
lutes in amazement and then in.
quired:
For heavens sake, old man, how
long have you been on such airy
terms with the king of Greece?"
The Chicago stockbroker gasped
Say" he finally blurter, "is that
man really and truly King George?"
HE certainly is.'
The Chicago man looked far away
for an instant and then, as If speak
ing to himself, softly said:
"And / offered him a Job"
