that the Central Kansas League will
brave one more season. The indica-

the going will be to her liking and
has decided to get in and get her feet
wet in organized base bali. It will be
a fourtOwn league, comprising Great
Bend. Hutchinson. Sahna and Empo
ria. and as all four are good bal
towns and have In the past supported
fast teams, they unqueStionRbiy will

'If you don't want lots of trouble,

middle of June, when the corn needs

I. d. Banks Encourage
Practical Farming.

In days past the banker was con.
servativs individual who looked with
suspicion upon progressveness and
change. He took his toll of interest
and demanded his pound of flesh"
when occasion offered without thought
of any responsibility devolving upon
him to help to better conditions. He
was the power and 1t was up to the
borrower and his community to look
out for themselves. But today, in
North Dakota, all this is changed, the
bankers all over the state are leading
in progressive movements and the
bankers are advising with the custom
ers as to how conditions may be bet
tered. The men who handle the money
have realized that in raising the pro-
duotivsnsss and general prosperity in
their communities they are not only
helping their nsighbors but they are
making more and better business for
themselves. They have learned that
it pays to help thsir customers to
make more money.
At recent meeting of the North
erstern North Dakota Bankers t
Grand Forks, these facts were fully
discussed in an address delivered by
North Dakota banker who is active
along Better Farming lines, and in.
stances Of what North Dakota banks
are doing to help their communities
were cited. Among other things, at
tention was called to Donnybrook,
where the local banks combined and
sent eight representative farmers Of
that community to Wisconsin to study
dairying conditions and results at
first hand.
These men came back to the state
thoroughly converted to dairying in
connection with North Dakota farm
North Dakota farming. Cream mar
keted at Donnybrook in July was
more than double that for the same
month in 1913, and records indicate
that this year will see in the neighbor-
hood OF $20,OO0.O0 paid out to the
farmers in Donnybrook alone for
dairy products.
Tho banks have found that their
work along progressive farming lines
