Bankers and Farmers

conference between bankers and
farmers, including a large number of
representatives of each class, for dis
cussion of mutual interest and profit,
shows the growth of the cooperative
spirit in the industries of this coun-
try Such a conference was in ses-
sion at Chicago recently, and it was
not the first but the fourth of its
kind. David r. Forgan, president of
the Chicago Clearing Housel made
an address which even the brief
press reports show to have been re-
clared cooperation to be indispensa-
able to success in all business. and
contrasted cooperation and its re-
suits with destructive competition
and its results.
Cooperation between the banking
interest and the farming interest is
vitally necessary to that solution of
our national problems which B. F.
Harris, president of the First National
Bank of Champaign, H.. said depends
upon building up our agricultural
and rural life" II needs to be said
that the necessity of such co-opera-
ton has hitherto been as much over
/ looked by the banking as by the agri-
cultural interest. II is not too much
TO say. in fact. that in some parts of
the country the moneyed interest has
been far less mindful of the recipro-
cal obligations which should exist
between il and landholders than the
landholders themselves. Conflict as
to interest laws, mortgage laws. re
demption laws and laws governing
equities OF redemption have led to
clashes in the work of legislation
which have promoted the evil spirit
OF class hostility which has done much
TO create and prolong hard times.
1t is our conviction that the farming
classes are willing to cooperate with
all friendly interests seeking a mu-
tual advancement through mutual CO.
operation. The bankers is as neces-
sary to the farmer as to every other
business man with credit and enter
prise. and the farmer is as necessary
to the banker as is any other investor
II recognition of this fact has been
too long delayed, Il is high time to
recognize ii now.-St. Louis Globe

Money in TURKEYS.

According to Miss oberlin OF the
Colorado Agricultural College. Mrs
Bader of Iona, Colo. has found a
sure and pleasant way in which the
woman on the ranch can add to the
family income. Last year Mrs. Ba-
der's siNty-two turkeys. raised at a
cost of twelve dollars. sold for one

were two gohblers in the flock which

From her thirteen years experience
in raising turkeys, Mrs. Baders gives
the following suggestions: Select
good gobblers. Nothing is better than
pure bred Bronze. Set the turkey
hens so that the young will be Matched
in May. The best results have been
obtained when there was not more
than three days difference in the
age of several flocks of young turkeys

HotLunch for Rural Schools.

Mrs. Carrie s. Myers OF Kelley, Col
orado. has been very successful in
serving hot lunches in her rural
school. In writing of her work to Mr..
d. c. Bascom, Logan County Agricul-
turist. she says: A mother says her
girls feel better and have better ap-
petites since we have had warm food
regularly. Families take turns in
preparing soup, or occasionally a dish
of beans for variety, and find II no
hardship The girls plan schedule so
that there is a regular soup day for
each family. They ask each other
how the soups are made. We have
found that soup is the best dish for
our purpose.
Three to four quarts of soup is
plenty for fifteen to seventeen child
rem. For a larger number it will be
perhaps necessary for two families to
furnish. The children never need as
much cold lunch.
The soup is brought TO school in
pail or kettle to be placed on the
flat top of the stove at recess to be
hot for lunch. Some one brought us
a ladle for serving. Esch child furn
shes his own dish, preferably bowl
and n spoon. The girls enjoy setting
an improvised table but usually each
child has his dish of hot food at his
preferred seat.
Provide pan. towel and dish
cloth; heat the water while eating
and II no place for keeping the dishes
is provided. lay them back in, the par
and cover them.
Different and more elaborate meth
DDS may be used. but this is a simple
and easy one for the present oondi
I ton of most of the schools.

Des Moines, July 28.-Melvin H.
Byers, SO years old, chief state oil in
spcctor and former adjutant general
OF Iowa, died at $50 o'clock yester-
day evening at his home in this city.
He had been suffering from stomach
trouble for some time and about two
weeks ago took to his bed with Sc
we're pain in his side. 1t was thought
at first that he was suffering from APP
pendicitis, but it later developed to
be a tumor An operation was cOnsid-
cred necessary, but he was too weak
to undergo it. Hope of his recovery
was despaired of Monday and his end
was not unexpected. Mrs. Byers died
last November.
General Byers is survived by six
children. Only his daughter, Miss Lu'
ellie Byers, was with him at his
death. A son, Roscoe E. Byers, who

The development will further de-

Secretary Lansing had about finished

Secretary Lansing said the message

references to the freedom Of the seas
may have influenced Great Britain to
place herself or record as willing to
take under consideration any new
suggestions by the United States to
