BANKERS URGED TO

In practical cooperation OF the coun-
try banks with the farmer In building
agriculture and the adventure IL laden
with greater possibilities than any
forward movement now before the
American public.
A few bankers have loaned money
to farmers at low rate Of interest,
and ofttImes without compensation, to
buy booded livestock, build sIlos,
fertilize the land secure better seed,
hold their products for betetr mar
ket price, etc, The banker In con-
trbuting toward improving the grade

on such a basis would severely test
the sanity Of the banker; such trans
actions would pain the directors like
blow In the face, A cashier who
would dare to cast bread upon waters
that did not return butlered side up
IA time for annual dividends would
have to give way to a more capable
man, This does not necessarily mean
that the bankers are getting any better

A brief statistical review Of the in

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great COM
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems Of this nation crown
the industrial achievements Of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind Of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network OF wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas,
tared the known world and the tele-
nhone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history Of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted a more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone,
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy Of two distinct types OF
American genius-inyention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly forum
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree Of American industry and
when compared with its European con
temporaries, 1t thrills every PATRIOTS

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR

It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them.
 With our children it's different Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-found- ed. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them.

Millions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that 1t never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor- row.

"somethino Else Beautiful"

0OUCIutU8 6toC
 A little girl named Hilda and her mother stood one cold winter morn ing looking out upon the landscape, in which everything was covered with an icy armor that sparkled with gilt tering beauty in the sunshine.
 "Oh, how beautiful" exclaimed Hilda.
 "Yes," answered her mother, but 1t will be all gone before noon time.
 The little girl was quiet for mo- ment as she gazed upon the fairyhke scene that lay stretched out before her. Then she looked up and said brightly, Never mind, mother; thereTl be something else beautiful to morrow"
 What a charming thought was ut tered by that little girl in those words! What a comfort it is to know that though some beautiful things may pass away, God will send others just as beautiful to take their place.-Se lected.

DANGERS OF DOING NOTHING
Every Boy Should Practice self-Cr't'' cism-Idleness Is One of Hab-
 its Disclosed.

The harm of doing nothing Is sell dom realized. But it means going backward. Or, if it means floating along to somewhere, it also means getting soaked and heavy and finally sinking out of sight. Every boy should adopt Secretary Redfield's advice to business men-to practice self-cr1t1- cism; to find out if anything is the matter, and then correct it, says Ohio State Journal.
 We suspect if every boy and girl would undergo little self-examinat1on they would find idleness was one of their habits And they are apt also to think 1t is an innocent habit; but it IS not; it is a dangerous habit. Remem- ber the old saying that the devil ai- ways finds something for idle hands to do, and that something is evil always.
 Now, work is not always struggle with one's hands. It does not always make one perspire and get short of breath. If a person thinks of things that are true, if he builds up noble ideals, if he plans enterprises of good will, if he makes use of his spirit 1n forming fine resolutions-this IS not fdling.
 The test for idleness is very easy When one wastes his time he Is idle; when he does not utilize thought and deed to make his life better he if idiing Teaching a boy to value hls time is the best lesson that can b' given him.

BOY HAS ONE GRAND VOYAGE
Little Trip to End of Boats Chain Made Deeper Impression Than
 Trip Round the World.

There was a boy whose father kept small newspaper and tobacco shop and sent him out with the papers every morning. One morning the boy stopped when he came to the Old Canal dock, where he had to deliver a paper at the office. The dock was full of barges of rusty scrap iron, moored close to an old-style barken- tine.
 What wouldn't I give to get into the dockkeeper's boat" he thought, 'and go on great voyage to the near est barge!" The wish was too strong to be put off. He ran quickly down the steps, got into the boat, pushed it out to the length of its rope, three or four yards, and then let it drift slowly back. Each time he did this he drew a deep breath and said: "That's fine; might be in Valp'raso harbor, al the other end of the world!"
 Presently the dockman came along ''Hi there,' said he, you clear out oi that" The boy had to clear out ther and make off, but the breath of adven | ture and the taste of the sea were o1 nm, ana one WIuleT ulSuI uc hdudSS' to run away and hide himself in cargo-boat and shipped for the Blacl | sea.
 After that he sailed right out roun the world, and saw all its wonders black men, red men, yellow men, tn earthquake at St. Pierre, the Chimes fighting at Picking, the sharks in Dels goa bay; and once his ship ran into French whaler 800 miles S.S.E. fror Newfoundland and the men had t take to the boats, and twice he wa wrecked.
 We'll, at the end of it all he shippe on a steamer that was docked as luc would have it at the Old Canal docl Next day he stood on the wharf step and loked at the boat.
 By gum!" he said, "I have saile round the world and seen sights, bl never had such grand voyage as thu took to the end of the boat chain an back when I was a paper boy. don Fables by Ernest Rhys, in u Sphere.

Portable wireless telegraph outfits have been deyeloped that are far more compact than those in use in other armies ol the world. The German field set IS carried in either light automobile ol on a motorcycle side car. These short range outfits will send and receive over an average distance of thirty-hve miles.-American Boy.

Thin. brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp: of dandruf-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruf. It robs the hair of its luster, its strength and it's very life; eventually producing fever1sh- ness and itching of the scalp. which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast.
