The Progress is more than thirty
two years old, has some time ago
cut its wisdom teeth and is here to
live or die, sink or swim, survive
or perish" with the people of Lex
ington and Henderson county-so
what we say to our people may be
looked upon as family talk and in
the nature Of attempted ways and
means to do something in The New
Year that will rebound to the inter-
est Of all.
The first item tolbe taken up, is
consideration Of the need to keep
every possible dollar at home-for
it is the money that is kept which
makes accumulated wealth, not that
which is sent away. Give your
home merchant the first chance to
supply your needs. If he does not
happen to, have what you want,
see If he will not order it for you
and for as little money as the great
mail order houses will charge you
for the same article. Your home
merchant pays taxes Of all sorts
all his employed help is home ma
terial; he generally has a family to
support and if he is a correct and
trustworthy man, he ought, in the
course Of his life. Accumulate some
thing for his old age. Every reli-
able man who needs It, gets the
help Of his home merchant and he
deserves to be patronized. Cut out
that running to buy from the mail
order houses, for such action is
neither patriotic nor good business.
Our town and our county are
going to be just what we try to
make them. Let us see if we can
not make them better in 1917 than
they have been in 1915. The Prog
ress has spent $50 in Lexington to
ONE DOLLAR it has received from
home patronage but it is willing to
join any effort to work for the
Home Man.

Some Excuse Is
Better Than None.

Relative to the failure of either
of the Tennessee cities to secure
the location of one of the Farm
Loan banks, r.. M. Gates wrote in
a recent issue of the Commercial
Appeal, from Washing:
Inasmuch as the farm loan board
did not see its way clear to locate a
loan bank in Tennessee, it may
make some atonement for the omis-
sion by recognizing the applications
of some of the citizens of the State
for appointment to positions in the
bank district. Senator Shields and
Representative Mcclellan have al
ready submitted the names of GER
tain Tennesseeans for appointment
to some Of the places to be filled.
Tennessee's official delegation
have expressed regret and surprise
today that their state was not given
a loan bank, as both Memphis and
Nashville made splendid showings
before the Federal Farm Loan
Board. 1t was stated at the Treas
ury Department today that Ten
nessee, Mississippi and Arkansas,
for example, we're not placed in the
same loan bank district because Of
the similarity of their staple crops.
In order to stabilized the loan banks,
it was represented, the states COM
prising the banks geographical dis
trict should produce a variety of
crops, so that if one crop is a fail
ure there will be others to promote
business. One member of the
board said that the location of a
bank at New Orleans probably was
open to critizens for that very
reason. AS cotton is the chief
money staple crop of the three
states composing that bank district,
there was more or less liability to
limit the usefulness Of the bank in
farm loans. But this apprehension
did not initiate against New Or
leans in the final test. The board
wants to see active demands for
federal farm bank bonds, and the
demand for these bonds, it is con-
tended, will depend largely upon
farm prosperity in the several dis
tricts. This prosperity, they say, is
better assured by a variety Of sta
pie crops than it would be one crop,
because of the constant liability of
a single crop to failure, whole or in
part.
