In the days Of open saloons a num-

them, among them Tarna and Glad
brook. The manner in which Tama
has progressed since the money that
was squandered across the bars has
been devoted to the making of better
homes and public improvements is
known of all men who were acquainted
with the town in it's days of personal
liberty" and VINO know it now.
The history Of Tama and Gladbrook
in this respect run along parallel lines.
In the days Of it's saloons Gladbrook
was unkempt and disheveled. Its hair
was never parted and it's face was
| never washed. Its printing office, a
typical run down country establish
ment, was inadequately housed, and
the product of the office was never
praised. With the passing Of the
| saloon the town spruced UP. Today
| it is one Of the progressive communi-
| ties of the county. Beautiful homes
| abound. The business men carry large
| lines of merchandise and do thriv-
| ing business. And now, still more

listed conscipuously, bolts him as a

teal enforcement Of temperance legis-
lation.
"Mr Harding personally got in the
primary the votes Of the most OF the
qualified electors who feel any partic-
| ular interest In him, and they are
| long way from being enough to slect
| him." says the Nevada Representative.
"Of course. If the real idea of those In
| charge of the Harding campaign is to
elect Mr.. Harding by means largely
of democrats, then the personal cam
paign for Harding may be good poll
! tics; but il, on the contrary, there IS
| still hope of getting republicans gem
orally to support him. then the gen.
! eral party issue should be crowded to
the forefront. II there is any idea that
the whole republican party in Iowa
can be made enthusiastic for Harding,
the quicker that idea is dropped the
better: for it has not sufficient foun-
dalton in fact"

THE SOUTH NEEDS FOUR FARM
LOAN BANKS.

The Farm Loan Act provides for twelve
regional land banks, to be established
throughout the country in order that the
rural credits system may be put into effect,
but does not determine the boundaries of
the various districts, which are to be es-
tablished by later investigation, now under
way.
That the'south should have four of these
banks, or one-third, is the conclusion
reached by F. W. Gist, of Auburn, Ala. Mr.,
Gist, long student of agricultural condi
tions from a direct standpoint. was an
active participant in the Nashville confer
ence on rural credits, held under the direc-
ton of the Southern Commercial Congress,
where the sentiment for the system was
crystalized.
Mr.. Gist.'s arguments were prepared for
our own Senator Fletcher, fhe man mainly
responsible for the rural credits law, and
for whom it is especially appropriate -
work for the establishment OF the fouu
banks in the south.
Mr.. Gists apportions the different re-
gions as follows:
Group1. Delaware, Maryland, Virginia
West Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina.
Group2 Mississippi, Alabama Georgia
and Florida.
Group 3. Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma.
To begin with, the area included in the
above represents little more than one
| third of the entire country. But there are
even stronger economic reasons. Mr. Gist
reduces them to the following scientific
terms. The figures are from the 1910 cen
sus, the latest available data. It should be
ADDED that the average for each group and
for the south is simply an average Of the
factor for the group with relation to the
whole country, which would be represented
| by 100. The table follows.

A Dipping Experience

Last Thursday the two milk cows
on the Breeze Farm together with the
rest of the cattle, were dipped in the
Walton Land & Timber Cos. vat on
their farm south of town. With no
change in feed and the pasture get
ting dryer every day, they have in
creased the milk flow more than a
third.
The pasture on which these cattle
run is almost tick free, and none were
seen this year until about month
ago when lot of pine stray was
hauled in from the woods for bedding
in the lot. Not long after this the
Missus began to. complain that the
milk supply was failing and also that
the cream was getting thinner. A
few ticks were noticeable, but only a
few, as those on the flanks and I'D

The first four factors-population, area,
land in farms, and improved land in farms
is subject to actual measure, and total ex-
actly 1873 per cent.
Mr. Gist then goes on to show, by tech
nical course of reasoning, full discussion
of which is not necessary here, that there
are actually a great many more persons
able to comply with the requirements OF
the act as customers of the banks than
can be shown statistically.
That 219 per cent of the farm values of
the United States should produce $40 per
cent of the crop values, is especially sig
nihcant The acre value Of farm property
in the United States, to illustrate this point
still further, is S4664; but in the south it
is only S26.31. Nevertheless the acre value
of crops in the United States is $3.50, while
it is $3.50 in the south. In other words,
while the southern states are short in their
proportion of the farm values, the money
value of their crops is sufficient to bring
their income-produoing capacity up to the
average ration for successful patronage of
the new loan system.
There are number of other factors that
prove the same point For instance: With
40 per cent of the total farm lands, the south
has only about 81 per cent of the mortgages,
condition due to the lack of loan facilities
and the high rate of interest. The south
has only 50 cents worth per acre of in1ple-
ments and machinery, as against S1.44 for
the United States, and only S3.74 per acre
for livestock as against S560for the United
states, showing the greater need for hnan-
cial assistance. Finally 66 per cent of the
fertilizers bought was purehasable in the
south, and cheaper credit will mean
cheaper fertilizer.
We agree with Mr. Gist that since south
ern farms can use one-third of the capital
and service offered by the farm loan sys-
tenn, and since southern agriculture en-
braces more than one-third of the farm loan
needs of the country, it follows that this
area is reasonably just in asking for the es-
tablishing of four of the farm loan districts
within its lines

SWAT THE PEDDLER.

Arkansas now has an infestatio,l
almost as bad as the boil weevil in
the shape of all sorts of peddlers and
agents. Farmers should not be fool
ed by these smooth-tongued fellows
who offer to sell on the installment
plan. Their goods are inferior to the
goods sold in our home stores for the
same money and our home merchants
sell with guarantee that is worth
something. In one county ten "stove
agents" swooped down and in one
week sold two 260 stoves at $S5, and
the manager Dragged about it and ad-
mitted that his men told two lies to
start with. d) That it was the best
stove and; (2) that it was cheap at
$S5. In fact it was inferior in quality
to the $50 stove handled in that county
seat town.
