SOCIETY OF SAVINGS, CLEVELAND

Several banks have gone to the ex-
tent of employing trained agricul.
turist to represent to represent them
in dealing with the farming commun-
ity, contributing his advice upon farm
problems and giving counsel to the
bank as to what it may prudently
do about granting financial aid. The
First National Bank of st. Paul, I'M
der the influence of James j. Hill, was
one OF the first to do this. Among
them is the Society OF Savings, Cleve-
land, of which the Hon. Myron Her
rick is president. Discussing the jol-
icy the banks representatives recent
ly said:
1--WE know that more capital eX-
pended in the development of agri-
culture is going to better the whole
community, both city and country,
but it is vital that this money be spent
in the right way. Therefore it is the
duty of the banks agricultural agent
to study the business of the farmer
as a whole and, in conference with
him, suggest ways of improvement
and in case the moral risk is salts
factory, to offer financial aid to carry
out the plans"
Describing the case of a small
farmer who had applied for a loan.
the account says:
"The analysis of his business show
ed that while he was doing good work
in raising crops, he was doing it all
to feed four COWS whose total income
was only 5000 for the year, showing
that they would all be classed as
'boarders.' Tis greatest need was pro-
fitable COWS and more of them.
Contrasting these cows with seven
Jerseys owned by Middlefeld man
which gave him an average of $40
apiece gross income and $1,000 apiece
net income after the cost of feed had
been deducted, 1t can be seen that the
four COWS owned by the Strongsville
farmer should be beefed as soon as
possible.
Therefore Mr.. Lincoln told the
farmer that a loan would be granted
to buy some cows and the bank agent
would help purchase them. after the
original four had been disposed Of He
was urged to keep records on his cows
In the future TO see whether each
COW was paying or not"

Censorship Still On.

Letters from Mr.. and Mrs. c.
G. Mccullough at Rio de Janeiro
Brazil, which were received this
week, complain of the poor mail
service to that country from the
United States. In writing the
News under the date Of October
Goth, the letter being received
here just one month afterw Yards,
Mrs, Mccullough says:
1T has been almost two
months without a Villas County
News and am afraid it will be
about that much longer before
we get any. Mac just came in
and brought good news, saying
that he had heard the ID" boats
English line were going to run
regularly between New York and
Argentina, stopping off here.
One tri p every two weeks. That
will be fine mail service"
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccullough left
Eagle River in September for
Rio de Janeiro where Mr.. NJ. had
taken the resident managership
for an United States firm. Say
they are in a beautiful country
and are so far very much pleased
with their surroundings. The
"fu" has been raging there and
several hundred have died. Bus
mess was suspended for some
time and had just resumed its
normal stage again when the
letter was written.
In closing Mrs. M. remarked:
I'm not homesick-but I'd like
to be there" All mail received
from there is censored.

Philip Gets Soldier Vote.

Governor Philip carried the
soldier vote Of Wisconsin by All
almost two to one ratio over his
democratic opponent. The COM
pilation OF the soldier vote from
the IA environments shows that
total soldier vote of 4,456 was
cast. Of this number, Moehlen-
pah received 1 1852; Philip,
2, GAG; Dean SO and Seidel 26O
The announcement of the total
official vote in the state has been
delayed owing to the fact that
many counties have failed to
send in their returns on the state
vote. Explicit directions have
been sent to the county clerks
to send in the state vote at once
and not wait the transmissal of
the soldier vote from the Office of
the secretary Of state. The sol
der vote on the local candidates
in each county is now being tab
ulated and will be forwarded to
the counties within a few DAYS.
The state canvassing board
hopes to canvass the state vote
by the latter part of the week.

VICTOR OF THE MRNE"
Marshal Foch Says the Glory Belongs
to the Soldiers

Paris, Dec. 19-Jean Richepin re-
piled to the oration of Marshal Joffre
today, when the great soldier was for
mally initiated to the French Acad-
emy. When he referred to Marshal
Joffre as the victor of the Marine, the
Marshal arose and said:
at is not ], it is the Poilu."
All eyes turned to blind French
soldier who was standing at the salute
in the front row of the balcony. The
soldier stood at rigid attention while
loud cheers resounded through the
hall.
AS the audience filed out, an old
man was heard reciting to himself in
a trembling voice:
"Any unit which can advance no
more must at all costs hold the con-
quered ground or be killed on the
spot, rather than retreat"
The words were an extract from
Marshal Joffre's order of the day at
the start of the battle of the Marine
which opened the doors of the French
Academy for him.
