STATEMENT

1t has been rumored, without
the foundation of a single fact,
that we, The Farmers and Stock
mems Bank will enter the bean
market through our cashier, Neal
Jenson. This is entirely false.
Mr.. Jenson intends to buy beans
as in the past, and we feel that
we are doing our farmer friends
a favor in excusing Mr.. Jenson
from active service in this bank
during the bean buying season
in order that he may enter the
bean market.
Mr.. Jenson's bean business
will have no connections what
ever with this bank, neither has
this bank any interest whatever
in the profits or losses Mr.. Jen-
son may sustain in his private
business operations. Our sincere
desire is to aid the farmer in
every way that we can toward a
better price for his products and
our best efforts will be towards
this end.
This bank will not jeopardize
its own funds nor the funds of
its customers, in any speculation
in either beans or otherwise.

WIND IN REPENTANT MOOD
After Its Prank, Emissary of 6oreas
Obliqingiy Came to the Rescue
of Fair DamseI.

She was walking up Fourth avenue,
In the publishing district, apparently
getting enjoyment from the antics of
the January gale, relates the New
York Evening Post. Sauntering along
under her green parasol Chat was
green umbrella, too), she smiled as
though she walked under a canopy of
June blue instead Of January 1eaden
gray.
Suddenly, however, her smile changed
to an expression Of dismay-almost Of
distress. For a particularly playful
one OF Boreas' emIssaries hurled him
self across a side street and turned the
green parasol completely inside out
rather downside up, for not a rib was
bent or broken. The umbrella might
have been a tOadstooI that lifted its
edges to the sun.
And its owner held on for dear life.
If It had been black umbrella in
stead Of a green parasOl, she might
have relinquished her grasp and aban-
doned the idiotic-looking thing to the
wind that had so whimsically played a
prank upon it. Her one idea was to
reach repair shop and have it right
ed. So she sttolled along. holding it
with both hands and feeling ridiculous
~ conspicuous and amusing to the
passers-by-who for some reason were
too absorbed in the storm to even
waste a glance upon her or her predic-
ament.
Only the friendly wind took note.
AS she crossed the next side street
great gust whirled across, seized the
gay parasol at the edges and turned it
back as neatly and as completely as
any repair shop could possibly have
done.

GOOD
ROADS
DOUBLE LOAD ON GOOD ROAD
Farmers Haul Two Wagons Hitehed
Together to End of Improved High
Way-SinqIe on Poor Road

From the United States Department of
Agriculture
To see what really happens at the
end of the good road, a public road
specialist OF the department recently
had observations made in different sec
tons of the country. The observers
noted many country-bOund teamsters
who drove two loaded wagons, hitched
one behind the other, to the end Of
the good road, and then found it nee
eSSary to leave one wagon by the road
side to be returned for later, while all
the power OF their teams was devoted
to hauling a single wagon over the IN
improved road.
Farmers bound for the market fire.
quentIy were seen to haul wood and
similar products to the beginning Of
the good road, there dumping them,
and returning for a second load. When
this arrived, the two loads were con-
solidated and easily hauled by single
team the remaining distance to market
over the improved highway.
In one section of the country where
oxen are still used teamsters were OBJ
served to bring their loads over the
dirt roads with two or three yOkeS Of
oxen. When the beginning of the good
roads was reached, the teamsteFs
would unhitch the extra animals and
finish their journey with a single yoke.
