BANKERS URGED TO
COOPERATE WITH
FARMERS
eoUl MATERIAL HAS ENTERED
THE BANK VAULTS or
THE NATION.
The Bank . Financial Power House
to the Community.
BY Peter Radford.

One Of the greatest opportunities m
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 q low rate Of interest,
and ofttimes without compensation, to
buy blooded livestock. build silos,
fertilize the land. secure better seed,
hold their products for a betetr mar.
ket price. etc. The banker in con-
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 q Bank Asset.
The time was when money loaned
on such a basis would severely test
the sanity of the banker; such trans
actions would pain the directors like
q blow In the face. A cashier who
would dare to cast bread upon waters
that did not return buttered side up
In time for annual dividends would
have to give way to more capable
man. This does not necessarily mean
that the bankers are getting any better
or that the milk Of human Kindness is
haf ttah Cd hu An
ciers. II indicates that the bankers are
getting wiser, becoming more able fin
anciers and the banking industry more
competent. The vision Of the builder is
crowding out the spirit of the pawn
broker. A light has been turned on
new worE of investment and no
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 a Soul.
II is refreshing in this strenuous
commercial life to find so many dol
lars with souls. When a dollar is APP
preached to perform task that does
not directly yield the highest rate OF
interest, We usually hear the rustic
OF the eagles wings as II scars up
ward: when a dollar is requested to
return at the option OF the borrower.
II usually appeals to the Goddess OF
Liberty for its contractural rights;
when a dollar is asked to expand In
volume TO suit the requirements OF
industry. II usually talks solemnly OF
Its redeemer. but soul material has
entered into the vaults OF our banks
and rate. time and volume have a
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.
God Aimlohty's Noblemen.
These bankers are God Almighty's
noblemen. Heaven lent earth the

Thursday dawned as all ordinary school

fair to see, others unused and untidy.
The school rooms were perhaps little
less attractive than are their wont; the
black boards presented great urwashed

The onions from the onion bed.

His little crop did yield,
To iced the horse.-that dear old horse.
That he bought to pillow his field.
He dropped the seed DER this rich plot,
Beneath the sons of March;
He worked so hard, and toiled so long,
His collar lost its starch.
All thru the long, bright days of spring
Did the earnest farmer work;
And even to read Othello,
His corn crop would not shirk.
Then comes Autnmn'S moonlit ewes:
liz harvest time at last
The crop he raised is so IMMENSE
His days of work are past.
The vapid idler now Tolls in silk
Around his costly board:
The Other teachers eat bread and milk,
And mourn their ill-spent hoard.
For tomatoes had the awful blight,
The onions would not sell;
The money that they spent was gone.
q, how the teachers yell!
Then shame, on all the proud and vain,
Who would not plant the corn;
For the corn crop is the Onty crop
To raise, and you not be forlorn.
Now let us in his luck rejoice,
But even in our sorrow,
Resolve that tho we plant onions to-day,
Ii sHUU he corn Tomorrow!
