Special Banks for Farmers.

The farmers are to be allowed
by the laws that are to make
war on trusts and spectators to
combine as much as they will to
put up and keep up the prices of
their products.
But this is not all. A special
banking system for their benefit
is to be created, and a bill for
that purpose is now before the
congressional com mittees on
banking and currency.
AS proposed by the bill, agri-
cultural credits are to be furnish
ed through the agency of a new
system of national banks to be
established, operated and SUPER
vised by Federal Government Of
fcials, and it is proposed that
the bonds to be sold by these
shall be security for long loans
from national banks and availa-
bic for investment as postal saw
ings funds, estates and trust
funds under charge of Federal
courts and of the savings depos-
its of national banks.
The farmer is going to have
his innings at last. IN. 0. Plea

V. o. Miller Ends Life Because of
Business Mental Worries.

V. o. Miller, age 81, formerly re-
sident of Minden, ended hts own lif,
last Friday morning at an early houl
as result of business worries,
He was manager of the mercantile
department of the Central Coal & Cox.
Co., at Carson, La, responsible posi-
ton which he had held for the past
four years with credit to himself ant
with entire satisfaction to his company
Quite number of persons were in hi
employ in the several departments anc
at the close of the past year the check
ing up of the books revealed a short
age in the funds. This he reported t,
his company and an investigation hac
failed to place the responsibility. Be
cause of this mental strain his mind be-
came temporarily unbalanced and he
sought relief by ending his life.
Before leaving his home early Frida,
morning, he kissed his wife and chi.
dren goodbye and left for the store q,
usual, but showing great mentalw worry
After writing the following note an,
placing same upon his desk, he took
pistol from the drawer and shot himself
through the head:

ITO my wife and babies, and tina,

note. Bette, have $500 stock in the
Brown Brick Co., and have paid into
the Keystone Investment Co. about
$500; have paid something like $3.50 OF
the lots in Central Park, Houston,
When you see this, will have passed
into the beyond, because of the fact
that have labored earnestly and hard
the past year to establish record fol
myself, and man whom / thought my
best friend has deceived me and stolen
the company's money and because L
have been unable to place the respon-
sibility absolutely upon the right man
/ cannot face the world in this disaster.
want each man that has key to any
part of the business to put them here
on the desk and ask that the guilty
man confess his crime. | want it I'M
derstood / am innocent of having TAX
en- one penny of the company's money.
81 hate to leave my dear wife and
babies. but cannot stand this strain.
feel my senses ebbing away and before
twelve hours more I'd be crazy. May
the grace of God be with all I'm leav-
ing. Bette, put my body away as
cheaply as you can. You will need all
you have for the babies. There is
about $3.50 in the Lumberman's State
Bank. -
by, bye, Dear Bette, Ruth, and
Mary. YAM"

pared his breakfast, received the mess

Buying at Home.

ReCSllIly d Well-hilOWn LAX
Charles firm gave a handsome
present for the best short con-
position on why Should Buy
at Home" The young lady who
was awarded the prize gave
many excellent reasons every
one of them logical and practical.
The News Scimitar, of Memphis,
speaking of the Lake Charles
contest, deals with the trade at
home" question as follows:
Almost anyone can give one or
more good and sufficient reasons
for buying what he wants and
can pay for at home, and from
his local merchants, but it is not
often that one can recall as many
reasons and state them as sue
cinctly and cogently as did a
gentleman in a neighboring city,
who, when asked his reasons for
buying at home said:
Il buy at home
Because my interests are
here.
Because a community that is
good enough for me to live in is
good enough for me to buy in.s
Because | believe in transact
ing business with my friends.
Because / want to see the
goods.
Because | want to get what /
buy when | pay for it.
Because every dollar that l
spend at home stays at home and
works for the welfare of the
town.
Because the man that l buy
from stands back of the goods.
Because l sell what l produce
at home.
Because the man l buy from
pays his part of the town, county
and state taxes.
Because the man buy from
gives value received always.
Because the man l buy from
helps support my church, my
lodge, my home.
Because when ill-luck, mis-
fortune or bereavement comes,
the man / buy from is here with
the kindly greeting, his words of
cheer and his pocket-book, if |
need be-"
In other words, and leaving all
other consideration aside, en-
selfishness, the identi-
cal enlightened selfshness that
causes public Official to give his
best and most assiduous services
to his constituency, should cause
a man to buy at home, because
mis- neighbors are his constitu-
ents and patrons in a larger
sense. When we help those who
help us we put it in their power
70 help US the more, and dispose
them towards doing so. We re-
,eive but what we give. Lake
Charles Times.

to the future, hoping that better
times are coming. But the op-
timist thinks of what is actual,
in the present, and looking al
the record that is before him he
is confident and serene, for he
feels that the cornucopia, or horn
of plenty, has been poured upon
the land.
And the optimist is right, as is
shown by the following figures
that have been prepared by some
statistician:
The total wealth of the United
States is 500, 900, 000,OO The
wealth of England is $50, 600, 0O0. :
600; France, sos. 900, 600, 600;
Germany, $50, 500, 600, 900.
The amount of money in the
United States is $4,000, 600, 600;
United Kingdom, 81, 600, 600, 900;
Germany, 81, 500, 600, 600.
The railroad mileage in this
country is 246, 573; in Great Brit
ain they have %, AIT miles; in
France, 81, 391, and in Germany,
38,747.
During 1913 our agricultural
products alone amounted to &c.
600. 600, 900 and over. Twenty
per cent of this amount was fed
to animals on the farms, and the
balance, 80 per cent, was sold.
In minerals alone we produced
81, 918, 326, 253.
Our international trade, which
is of great Importance at the
moment, closed the fiscial year
with $3.50, 600, 600 in our favor.
With all of these things before
him and many others that might
be mentioned, it is difficult to I'M
derstand how any American
could be dissatisfied with existing
conditions. 1t is true that there
are always certain things that
we would like to change, but
taken all in all, there ought to
be great satisfaction.
1t is true that the cost of living
has reached almost gigantic pro-
portions, but the South could
turn this to an advantage if the
people would just step in and
claim their own. No where in
the country is there a better op-
portunity than is afforded by the
South to raise food products.
While the population has increas-
ed the number of available beef |
cattle has decreased, and it will
take ten years so reach the form
er meat supply. During this
time the Southern farmer can
get rich if he will only raise cat
tie and hogs, and they can be
raised here for less money than
they can be raised in the West.
But the South is not limited to
meat; there are many other
things that can be produced with
profit, and when one thinks of
all these things he is almost as
at the great opportunity
offered.
There is plenty of life md OPP
portunity in the old land yet.
And the United States is the
most prosperous country on earth
to-day in spite of the pessimist
and calamity howlers who should
be scorned for their evil prophe-
sizes. Elk.
