If you expect to live on your farm you ought to surround yourself with the things that make farm life attractive. Among these nothing is better than good or chard. If you want to sell your farm you can make it much more attractive to the purchaser by putting out an orchard.

FRATERNAL FEELING
Of Americans
John S. RoSSell Thinks Bet
ter Understanding Will
Follow Conference
SHOULD EXTEND THE
BANKING INTERESTS

John S. Rossell vice-president OF
the Security Trust and Safe Deposit
Company. who was a delegate TO the
Pan-American conference. which was
held in Washington. Is enthusiastic
over that meeting.
1T was great manifestation of
good feeling and demonstrated that
peace may accomplish greater con-
quests than war" he said. Indeed,
il was demonstrated that while war
fare is destructive of life and prop
erty and creates hatred and disorder
and prevents the right understanding
between people OF diversified views
and characteristics, peace can bring
these same people together in a spirit
Of mutual helpfulness"
Mr. Rossell referred to the distin-
guished personnel of the conference,
not only with respect to the Latin
American delegates. but also with re-
spect TO the American delegates.
The financial. commercial and INDUS
trial interests we're represented by
the ablest and most intelligent men in
this country.
If ! should mention one feature Of
the conference more striking than
any other, il would be the fraiernal
feeling between the people of the
North and the people of the South, as
shown throughout the entire pro-
ceedings," said Mr.. Rossell 81 do not
believe the conference can fail to
create a lasting friendship between
the Latin-Americans and the people
of the United States; a friendship
which will be productive of better un-
derstanding in all matters that con-
Germ these two peoples, and il will
also be promotive of more cordial in
torcourse between the separate gov
ernments of South and Cent al
America
More liberal provision should be
made for the extension OF our bank
ing interests. which is not possible
under present laws. Hence the im-
pOrtance of amendments TO our ma
tional banking laws. which will per-
NIT our banks If not to establish
branches in South and Central Amer
lea. at least to subscribe 10 the capital
stock of those already established or
to be established there"

The initiation fee for a corporation
