on cattle loans were so high that il

I'm Unbiased View.
| think that | can talk to you or
this subject from an unbiased poinl
of view, looking at it from all angles
and with an understanding of the sub
ject acquired at first hand, through
residence of over quarter Of 4
century in the heart Of the south
western cattle country. and as an of.
ficer for large part of that time OF
various banking institutions in that
section, having their funds employed
very considerably and constantly In
cattle loans. either directly TO their
own customers. or by rediscounting
for large number of country banks,
indirectly financing the needs of the
customers OF the latter. Throush
practical experience | have become
familiar with the essential questions
entering into the consideration of cat
tie paper, therefore, not only on the
ground, but also in the bigger banks
and open money markets of the large
financial centers. It Is manifestly to
your interests, and those Of all con-
cerned, that we go to the fundament-
ais of the subject in candor and
frankness, avoiding any speciousness
or insncerity, and through that me-
dunn, and that alone, and with q
broad view of the entire range of
the subject, can | hope to say any
thing that would be helpful or justify
the time which you have allotted me
on the program.
Money Always Available.
First, let me impress upon you
strongly that there Is not any rea-
sonable doubt that all the money or
credit that the cattle industry may
need for its legitimate requirements
present or prospective-will always
be available if the business is on a
basis to properly safeguard eXten-
sions of credit. It is not a question
of money, but of methods and of
management.
do not hesitate to say that good
cattle loan is one of the most liquid
and desirable investments in which
the funds of commercial bank can
be employed, and on the other hand,
there are some cattle loans which |
would regard as wholly undesirable.
The purpose of this talk is to take a
look with you at the facts.

A countrys stability is measured by
its agricultural Importance, as the
well being of nation is like a tree
agriculture is its. root; industry and
commerce are its branches and it's life.
If the root be injured the leaves fall.
the branches break away and the tree
dies. Community pride begins where
agriculture leaves off. and both are
equal and inseparable In their impor
tance to healthy, happy, successful
existence for man.
Blue Grass Roads Are Best.
1t is pleasure to drive through the
blue grass district of Kentucky. where
they have what they call macadam-
lied turnpikes. These roads are the
equal of any paved city street and
Of course are passable at all seasons
of the year. They cost approximately
$1,000 per mile The highways in Ken
lucky are from thirty to sixty feet in
width. 1t is estimated that were the
highways Of Illinois regulated to fifty
feet S25 100000 could be added to the
wealth of the farmers of the state.
That alone would build more than 5000
miles Of road.
Spend $15o,ooo,0oo.
This country today has about $780,
600 miles of public highway. ON which
it is estimated that the people Of the
country are spending $150,0O0,O0O an
nually. Statistics say we also spend
$2,OO0.OOO.OO0 for alcohol. $4,000, ,OOO, 900
for tobacco and it is said that the
ladies spend $685.. 100000 yearly for
candy. If all this money could be ap-
propriated for road building we could
have a turnpike to the moon.
The principal cause of the Roman
empires downfall was its neglect of
agriculture-the exodus of its men and
women from the farm to the city, the
life there to be spent in extravagant
and riotous living. Go to any of ouI
cities today and view the extravagant
dress and general trend Of life fol

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS
Patented Process Is Responsible for
Its International Popularity.


Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and coolness and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
bacco that they often marvel that
this one brand could be so different
from all others.
The answer to this question is to
be found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you
will read: Process Patented July 80,
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by a patented
process that cuts out the bite and
parch, which makes the tobacco so
mighty agreeable and satisfying to
men of every taste of every civilized
nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and a
fortune In money to perfect. But the
result has proven to be worth all
that was expended upon it, because
it has set free men who believed they
never could enjoy a pipe or a makin's
cigarette.
Prince Albert make is possible fol
every man to smoke a pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince Albert
cannot bite or parch. That is cut out
by the patented process, leaving fol
the smoker only the joys of the fra
grant tobacco.

SAYS DRINK LEMONADE
FOR RHEUMATISM

Relief from rheumatism and scia-
tica can be obtained by drinking
lemonade and avoiding alcoholic
fruits.
To get rid of this stubborn disease,
however; to stop the twings, pains
and swelling, and drive the poisonous
accumulations from the joints and
muscles, all generously inclined drug
gists will tell you to take half a tea
spoonful of Rheuma daily until all
misery ceases.
Rheuma is a powerful remedy, be-
cause only powerful remedy can
overcome such a terrible disease; but
Rheuma acts speedily-the first dose
taken and you'll know that you will
soon be your healthy, happy self
again.
Read & Wager and all druggists
know what Rheuma will do, for they
sell great deal of it and guarantee
that two so cent bottles will overcome
rheumatic agony or money back.
