The Bank a Financial Power House
to the Community.
BY Peter Radford.

One of the greatest opportunities IN
the business life of the nation lies
in practical cooperation OF the coun-
try banks with the farmer In building
agriculture and the adventure is laden
with greater possibilities than any
forward movement now before the
American public.
A few bankers have loaned money
to farmers at a low rate OF interest,
and OtttimeS without compensation, to
buy blOOded livestock, build silos,
fertilize the land secure better seed.
hold their products for a better mar
ket price, etc. The banker In COM
tributing toward improving the grade
Of livestock; the quality Of the seed
and the fertility of the soil, plants IN
the agricultural life Of the community
a fountain of profit, that, like Tenny-
sons brook, runs on and on forever.
Community Progress Bank Asset
The time was when money loaned
on such q basis would severely test
the sanity OF the banker; such trans
actions would pain the directors like
a blow in the face. A cashier who

d new world Of investment and nc
usurer ever received as large returns
on the investment as these progress
sive bankers, who made loans to
uplift industry. The bankers have
always been liberal city builders, but
they are now building agriculture.
A Dollar With Soul.
1t is refreshing in this strenuous
commercial life to find 80 many dol.
lars with souls. When a dollar is ap-
preached to perform a task that does
not directly yield the highest rate OF
interest, we usually hear the rustic
of the eagles wings as it scars up
ward, when a dollar is requested to
return at the option of the borrower,
it usually appeals to the Goddess OF

volume to suit the requirements OF
industry, it usually talks solemnly OF
its redeemer, but soul material has
entered into the vaults of our banks
and rate, time and volume have .
new basis of reckoning in so far as
the ability of some Of the bankers
permit them to cooperate in prOmot-
: ing the business of farming.

GERMAN SPIES AMONG
 CANADIAN TROOPS
Forty-three Arrested in England Re- ports Toronto Lawyer-Onc Killed
 When Charge Was Made.

New York, Jan. 6.-Charles Walter an attorney of Toronto, Canada, an- nounced today upon returning to New York from England aboard the steam ship Minnehaha that forty-three Ger man spies had been arrested among the Canadian contingent of troops which sailed to England last fall
 MT. Walter said that he had been largely instrumental in identifying the prisoners and in causing the. arrests. All the men, he said, had enlisted in Canada One of the forty-three ac- cording to his announcement was killed by the members of the company in which he had enlisted when the charge was made that he was Ger man spy.
 The other forty two alleged spies, according to MT. Walter, had been locked up. What was done with them afterwards, he said, he did not know.

STANLEY SALESNEN
 MAKE SACRIFICE
Men Here for Convention Give UT Banquet and Vote Money to
 Charitable Purposes.

The Stanley Works salesmen in convention here this week voted to give up the annual banquet at the Ho- tel Bond and give the money that would be spent in this way to charity.
 It is expected that half of the fund will be given to local charities and half to provide relief for the sufferers in Europe. The organization which will be entrusted with this relief work has not yet been selected.
 The Stanley Works has given it's salesnien a banquet at the close of each convention and this year it was planned to have the banquet at the Hotel Bond Friday evening. On con sideration, however, the officers of the Stanley Works felt that such a cele- bration would not this year be fitting on account of the general upheaval in Europe and the suffering that has fol- lowed in the wake of the war. When referred to them, the forty or more salesmen that gathered here this week heartily approved of the idea. A sum of money equal to what would have been spent at the banquet will be dis tributed by the salesmen at the end of the week.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE STATE ISSUE, DECLARES WILSON President Reiterates His Position to Delegation
 of Suffragists.

Washington, Jan. 6-PreSident Wilson today reiterated to a delega- tion of women suffragists his previ- ousIy announced position that equal franchise should be brought about through action by the states rather than through federal constitutional amendment. Nearly one hundred women from different parts of the country met the president at the White House to ask him to support the Bristow- Mondell amendment, which comes to a vote in the house Jan. 12.
 The president told the women that he much admired their skill and te- nacity in their campaign but that he had announced before that he was opposed granting woman suffrage through federal action. He spoke of the importance of the movement and his appreciation of the call today
 "I have had life long conviction that this should be done state by state" said the president. "I would take the same position on a question affecting mems suffrage. I would be deserting my deepest constitutional convictions if I changed my position on the subject. My views on this question do not represent any an tagonism to the cause itself
 Mrs. George A. Armes of the District of Columbia branch of the Wilson and Marshall league, headed the dele- gaton which included the wives of several democratic members of con- gress and committees from Maryland, Delaware, New York, Virginia and PennSVlVa mia

, sace the Germans regained one of their old trenches in the vicinity of Steinbach. The official statement also indenti- fies the second Garibaldi reported killed in action on the French battle field as Chief Adjutant Constantine Garibald, a brother of Lieut.. Col. Peppino Gariba1di. Another brother, Lieut. Bruno Garibaldi, was killed December 30 while leading 8 charge of Italian volunteers against the Ger mans in the Forest of Argonne. The text of the communication follows: "In Belgium the enemy delivered, but without success two attacks in the region of the Dunes and to the south east of St. Georges.
 "On the rest of the front, to the | north of the Lys and from the Lys to the Disc there has been nothing ex- cept artillery fighting.
 'In the valley of the Aisne and in
 the Sector of Rheims our batteries
 gained the upper hand over those of
 the enemy, reducing them to silence.
 At point northwest of Rheims it is
 reported that certain of our troops
 have made an advance of about one
 hundred yards
 '.In the Argonne there developed a
 very spirited action which permitted
 us to retake 300 yards of trenches in
 the Forest of LaGrurie at the same
 place where there was recently
 slight giving away, as previously re-
 ported. From Bagatelle, and from
 Fontaine Madame there were deliv-
 cred two violent German attacks, each
 of which was repulsed. A complete
 German regiment was engaged in
 each movement.
 Near the Ravine of Courte Chaus
 see we blew up by exploding a mine, 800 yards of German trenches half of which we subsequently occupied. From the Argonne to the Vosges the bad weather has continued. There has been fog and mud At different points along this front there have been fairly spirited artillery ex-
 changes. In the forest of Le Pretre, near Pont-A-Mousson, we have con- tinued to gain ground.
 "In the region of Thanh Gin upper A1sace) in spite of violent cannon ading, we retained the gains achieved the night before at Steinbach as well as in the trenches to the southwest ] and to the northwest of this village. The enemy succeeded in reoccupying 1 one of his former trenches on the east l flank of a nearby height-the summit l of which, however, remains in our possession. l Tt should be set forth that in the Argonne, near the Ravine of Courte Chaussee, at the point where we i blew up the German trenches the at tacking regiment commanded by Lieut.. Col Garibaldi delivered viz orous assault against the breach made by the explosions. The Italians cap tured 120 prisoners, including twelve under-officers, and took one machine ] gun and one caisson.
