Dear Cousin Ned

Dear Cousin Ned
1t is a wonder that some of you
horny-fisted farmers did not throw
that smooth-tongue stock salesman
right into the lake when he proposed
to fleece you by selling you stock in
the Joint Stock Rural Credits Bank
at double it's face value. / am glad
that my letter reached you in time to
put onto his game. The idea of a
city sharper expecting to sell bank
stock having a par value of 500, to
the farmers for $500, out of which he
would keep at least $50 share, And
yet it is no more preposterous than
for the leader of the Democratic
Party in Congress to say to the ten
ant farmers and to the millions of
farmers that are standing in the cities
that since it had passed the Reserve
Bank Act the farmers don't need a
personal credit system. The long
time farm mortgage loan act which
they have passed does not reach the
needs of farmers who have no farms
to mortgage on their farms. The
platforms of all political parties both
in 1912 and 1916 promised Agricul-
ture adequate relief from it's financial
disadvantages. The Democrats have
been asked for fish and have given a
serpent. Farmers expected bread and
have gotten a stone.
| Let us take a few minutes to in
vestigate their absurd claims that the
Bank of Banks" called the Reserve
Bank" is going to be of substantial
help to the intelligent, hard working,
honest tenant farmer or to the wage
Garner who was raised on farm and
who wants to get back into the coun-
try. Remember what that means far
more farmers than are affected by the
Farm Loan Mortgage Act. The Res
erve Bank Act permits national banks
to rediscount farmers notes with the
Reserve Bank, under certain condi-
lions. The notes must not run for
longer than six months. as practi-
cal farmer, tell me how many crops
can be planned for, seeded. harvested
and marketed so that the cash returns
are available to pay a note at the
bank within six months from the time
the note was given? You want to
plan your crops not later than March.
Most crops require all summer to
grow. Your harvest may come in
August but your cash don't come for
many weeks after harvest, as a rule.
In other words, you wouldn't have
your cash in time to take up the six
months note, and you would have to
go to your banker and ask for a re-
newal can be granted by the banker
provided the banker is willing, but
there is no compulsion about 1t. Now
II the banker happens to have some
calls for money from his big GUS
toners. the big manufactures or mer-
chants of the city, about the same
time as you come in for a renewal of
your note, he is quite likely to refuse
you. Any borrower who has to ask
for renewal is a second-class GUS
toner. The banker doesn't like it.
At any rate, you are at the mercy of
the banker with a six months note.
You haven't any rights that the bank
er is obliged to respect when you go

TAX PAYERS LEAGUE QUITS

A meeting of the officers of the Tax
Payers League of Highland township
Guthrie county was held last Satur-
day evening. The League decided to
ebandon their work entirely and to
give it up as a useless job. There APP
pears to be no reason for the exist
ence of the league as II was organized
and promoted by men who had selfish
motives in view. An effort was made
to organize league in Audubon last
Saturday. Two gentlemen, one from
Atlantic and another one from Des
Moines were present to address a
meeting that had been called at the
court house for 1880. No one had
made an appearance at the hall at that
hour. so the meeting was postponed
until $3.50 at which time about a doz-
en- persons were present. We under
stand that the meeting was turned in
to Harding rally and no attempt at
securing an organization was made

SENATOR FOSTER ON IOWA

One characteristic of Senator Fost-
er is his loyalty to the State Of Iowa
He is loaded with facts and figures
Last winter at a meeting in the great
Casino Burgoyne, on the east cost OF
Florida, in an impromptu way, he
was called upon to respond to the
subject of Iowa Here is what he said
when you think of Iowa you have
visions of corn fields, hogs and cattle
and we'll you may, because Iowa con-
tinues to lead all of the states of the
Union in the value of her corn and
livestock.
According to the figures recently
issued by the government, the live
stock on Iowa farms on January LIST
was worth $451,000,000.00, while
Texas with it's vast range country
ranks second in total value of live
stock, which for this year amounts to
$43S, O0O,OO0.0O. Illinois ranks third
with total livestock valuation OF
$322,O00,000.00.
Iowa stands first in the number and
value of horses and Illinois second.
Iowa's hog crop is double in value
of that produced in Illinois, her near
est competitor.
Iowa's cattle are worth more dol

Day and His Barn the Next.


Day and His Barn the Next.
Two fires, one on Wednesday and
the other on the following day, de-
stroyed the house and main barn on
the Corliss Morrill, place above North
Danville, causing a loss estimated at
nearly $4,000 and carrying an insur-
ance of $500.
Mr.. Morrill, and his son, Lyman G.
Morrill,, lived on the farm and en-
ployed Mrs. Sadie Gamble as house
keeper. The two men were in st.
Johnsbury on business Wednesday
afternoon and about four o'clock in
the afternoon Mrs. Gamble started a
fire in the stove A short time after
wards she discovered fire about the
chimney and started for the residence
of William Clement about half a mile
away, to give the alarm. BY the time
people reached the house the fire was
under such headway the house could
not be saved but they removed some
Of the goods on the first floor and with
bucket brigade saved the barn.
On Thursday while the family were
at Mr.. Clements for dinner fire broke
out in the large barn. This structure
90 As feet with the farming tools and
about 20 tons of hay was entirely de-
stroyed. The only excuse given for
this fire was the possibility that a
spark from the house lodged in the
hay the day before and smoldered
without detection until the next day.
The Messrs. Morrill, are staying for
the present at Mr.. Clements and have
not decided whether they will rebuild.

IN BUSINESS SO YEARS
Henry j. Goodrich Began As Plumber
and Hardware Man When 21
Years Old.

Yesterday was the 33rd anniversary
of H. j. Goedrich's entry into the
hardware and plumbing business in
st. Johnsbury. He was young man
21 years old then and began business
in the Demers block, now ossupied by
F. G. Landry. A year later Mr.. Good
rich needed more room and moved
into the Odd Fellows block where he
has been ever since. The store was
thoroughly remodelled last winter and
is now one of the attractive places of
business in town. Mr.. Goodrich is
81 years old now and is still in the
active management of his business.
There are no signs of a has-been
about Mr. Goodrich or his store. Keen
and active in his work, he has kept
well informed about any improvements
made in his line of business and has
adopted every one that would enable
him to do better or more modern
work. He has adopted the policy of
engaging men for what they can do
rather than for what they charge and
so is keeping fully abreast of the
times.
Mr.. Goodrich thinks the year he was
21 was an eventful one for him as he
went into business for himself, Joined
the Masons and got married all in that
year.
Only one man is now in business on
Railroad street that was in business
there when Mr.. Goodrich started and
that is E. N. Randall. There are only
four other men in town still in busi-
ness that were in business then. They
are A L. Bailey, c. A. Calderwood,
c. c. Bingham and Charles Flint. Not
a practicing physician of that day is
left in town and only two lawyers,
Elisha May and Harry Blodgett.
