Little boy that I used to be.
A N engine fierce and a woolly

A battered doll with q tangled

A bank that one time was passing

Some marbles. a top and a fat toy

With a mans ambitions and hopes
and fears.

OCEAN FREIGHT RATES
ON WHEAT

Quotations of ocean freight rates
on wheat from New York to Liver
pool averaged rs cents per bushel
during 1914, the high rates of the
latter part of the year being offset
partly by low rates in the other
months. During 1913 the average
was So cents; in 1912, TT cents;
in 1911, AZ cents; and for the five
years 1906-1910 the average was 8. g
cents. In June, 1915, the quotations
reached rs cents per bushel. Ocean
freight on wheat from Argentina to
the United Kingdom reached AS
cents per bushel in April 1915.
Ocean freight rates on wheat from
Portland, Ore, to the United King
dom "for orders averaged about
1926 cents per bushel during the sea-

contaminated and to be the carrier
of disease, is a very important mat
ter and the consumer should take
even more pains than in buying
whole milk, to know that it has been
carefully handled, particularly If it
IS to be used raw.
The provisions of the food and
drug act and common honesty re-
quire that skim milk should be sold
for what it is and never as whole
milk. 1t should be plainly labeled
as skim milk. To sell it as whole

OF the Federal Food and Drug Act,
in cases where that law applies, but
also violation of the state law in
any state where it might be sold.

of thoughtful bankers, based upon
careful observation of the working of
the system, that Government postal
savings banks have not in any way
whatever injured ordinary CONNER
clal banks or even private savings
institutions. On the contrary, it has
brought out of boarding funds of peo-
pie who otherwise would not have de-
posted them in any bank; it has
tended to develop and cultivate In
this country habit of thrift and saw
ing in which heretofore we have been,
and still are. so far behind most other
advanced nations 1t has tended to
promote the habit of dealing with
banks; and the funds which have
been deposited with the government
have, in turn, found their way in one
direction or another into general
banking deposits.
So as to rural credits; both direct
ly and indirectly not only will they
benefit rural communities and those
engaged in rural industries and the
particular localities which are in need
OF such credits and desire them, but
ultimately by making possible the re-
demption or creation of values in
vast amount of land, the consequent
yield therefrom will pour into the
general national wealth a vast stream
which will find it's way directly and
indirectly into every financial and in
dGstrial channel. But, aside from
this, banking interests will be among
the first to profit, and in the most
direct way, from these increased re-
sources of the community. The
funds derived from the proposed Sc
curities will inevitably, in one way
or another. pass through the banks,
be deposited in the banks, to say
nothing of the funds which will be
created by the improvement of the
country brought about through such
system.
To illustrate the unsoundness of
any apprehension which would Justify
opposition to a rural credit system
by the banking interests of the coun-
try, it is only necessary to call atten-
tion to the vast amount of municipal
state and national securities now in
existence, and constantly being ne
gotiated, and to their effect upon the
investment interests of the country.
No one has ever heard of investment
agencies or banks Directing to long
time and low-rate bonds by cities,
school districts, irrigation districts,
states or the nation. These are all
accepted and necessary features of
our whole financial and industrial,
social and governmental fabrics; In
fact in some of its aspects the bank
Ing business of the country Is based
upon them.
