THE WRONG INVESTIGATION

A southemer is said to be re-
sponsible for the following comment
anent the campaign to diversity the
crops in the cotton belt:
The southern farmer gets up at
the alarm of a Connecticut clock,
buttons Chicago suspenders to De-
troit oyaralls, washes his face with
Cincinnati soap in a Pennsylvania
pan. He then sits down at a Grand
Rapids table and eats Chicago meat
and Indiana hominy. fried in Kansas
lard. cooked in a Kalamazoo range.
He goes to his stable and puts a
New York bride on a Kentucky mule
fed on Iowa corn, plows a farm COW
cred by an Ohio mortgage with a
syracuse plow When bedtime comes
he reads chapter in a bible printed
in Boston and says prayer written
in Jerusalem. Then he crawls under
a blanket made in New Jersey, only
to be kept awake by a North Caro-
lima dog. The dog is the only home
product. And then NJ wonders why
he does not make money raising
cotton.-,New York Commercial.

NATIONAL LAND BANK
PROPOSED IN BILL

Washington, Feb. 17.-Representa-
tive Dick T. Morgan of Oklahoma
proposes a new plan to provide land
credit in his bill introduced today,
creating a national land bank as the
instrument to negotiate mortgages
and to sell debentures or land bonds
secured thereby.
The National Land bank is nom
profit making institution. 1t is au-
thorized to receive deposits to the
amount of $10,000,0OO and pay 3 per
cent interest thereon, reimbursably
by the bank Secretary of the treas
ury is authorized to deposit in the
fund any balance the public fails to
deposit. This fund is transferred to
the National Land bank, which pro-
ceeds to loan said fund on farm mort
cages and sell the bonds issued there
on. and continues to reloan said fund
as rapidly as land bonds can be sold.
Bonds bear 3 and 3la per cent inter
est. according no the class of loan,
and mortgages pay 312 and 1 per
cent interest, according to class of
loan.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1915-02-18

law of the state as amended by senate
bill No. 374, are that the reserves IN
towns having a population of $500 or
less are reduced from 20 to 10 per
cent, and in cities having popula-
tion of over $500 the reserve Is re-
duced from 25 to 20 per cent, and the
reserve in reserve banks is reduced
from 20 to 20 per cent. This change
in the law will not only increase the
earning power of the various state
banks, but will make available for
loans nearly $3O0O,OOO in excess of
what they are now authorized to loan.
The law also makes it a penalty for
anyone to use the word bank or bank
ers' in advertising their business un-
less they are authorized banks, and a
severe penalty for such misuse of the
name is made.
Another feature of this bill is that
it changes the law of 1913 which
the state bankers associa-
ton to name three persons from
whom the governor shall select a bank
and leaves this appoint
ment entirely in the hands of the gov
ernor. This section also strengthens
the state bankers association by le-
galzing the collection of dues, and
the amount of not to exceed 80 cents
upon each $1,000 is authorized to be
collected.

Dreamers are often very useful
folk. Upon one occasion Bob Dick
dreamed of great artificial lake
that would supply a city with water
He made that dream a reality, At
that time the Indians could not sell
their lands, and he made those sales
possible. Neither could a city here
at that time own property, but he
paved the way for such ownership and
in addition to that made it possible
for Ardmore to own such a lake
Ardmore has another dreamer, in
Perry Maxwell. He dreamed of a
beauty spot, where Ardmore people
could congregate in a social way.
He found the spot, made the pur-
chase, beautifed the grounds in a
manner to emphasize the beauties of
nature. and Ardmore has, as a result,
the finest golfing grounds in the state.
Ardmore has a demand for other
dreamers of the same kind, A
dreamer who can also execute, Is
a valuable man
