| have been watching every pa

Bro. W. E, Dugger's death by
rome member of Willowdale
church, but so far have failed,
and will write a few words to
his memory.
Brother Dugger was born Feb.
4, 1855, and died May 10, 1919.
He was married to Miss Mamie
Wilkerson in Sept. 1870, to which
union was born five children,
four of whom are still living.
Brother Dugger was a faithful
member of Willowdale church
and was ever ready and willing
to do all in his power to make it
a success. He was a man of Great
ability and foresight, and was
one of the best mechanics in the
county, being called from here
to many towns to do finishing
work. Brother Dugger is greatly
missed at home and elsewhere. |

A Bureau That Pays.

Not every government bureau
is operated at a financial loss,
strange as that may seem. The
United States Mint is one ofthose
which returns a balance on the
right side of the ledger, accord
ing to the report of Director Ray
mond T. Baker. The minting
operations of the government in
the last fiscal year showed aprof-
it of So, 369,971. Half theamount
was made through the manufac-
ture of nickel and bronze coins.
Another source of profit to the
mint is the production of coins
for other countries. During the
fiscal year coins were made for
Peru, Argentina, Nicaragua, Siam
and the Philippines.
1t is a matter of satisfaction to
find that some of this govern
ment's operations are conducted
at profit and upon a business ba-
sis. In the past year the coun-
try has witnessed an eXtraOrdi-
nary demand for small coins, and
for some months the presses OF
the mint were engaged night and
day in the production of pennies.
A total of 66,S59,60O pennies
were minted in the year, requir-
ing 100000 pounds of metal.
Another big operation of the bu.
reau of the mint was the melting
of 1871, 100000 silver dollars into
bullion, of which 20O,O00,000 fine
ounces were sold toGreat Britain
for the account of the govern
ment Of India. 1t is a proper
source Of pride to Director Baker
that this operation was conclud
ed and the silver transported
across the country without the
loss of a dollar. 1t is good rec
ord of efficient administration. -

country grows, so will its expen-

Borrowing from Banks:

Lack of capital has much to do
with holding back the country.
Money is of more importance to
the farmer than to the majority
of other classes. With the mer-
chant and with many other lines
of business in which the propri-
etor or manager runs on or bor-
rowed capital, the item of inter-
est is amount of small impor-
tance, since they have several
turnovers during the year. With
the farmer the item of interest
takes on a different aspect. The
rate of interest he has to pay on
the money he borrows is an ex-
tremely serious matter.
His business is so hazardous
and so dependent on elements
not under his controland his con-
troll and his rate of turnover so
slow, that to him loan is an in.
vestment of much import.
But it takes money to. produce
money. Especially is this true in
the farming business. The farm.
er that can borrow money at a
reasonable rate of interest and
uses business ability in his in
vestments is the one that moves
forward.
The farmers appearance and
manner, initiative and self-reli-
ance, industry character and per-
sonal history are a few of the
things that are taken into con-
sideratiOn by the banker in ma.
king a loan. And the farmer that
looks good" to the banker is u

rate of interest that will enable
him to make a neat profit on his
