Closer cooperation between banking in
terestS and farmers will undoubtedl
grow out of the four district confer
+ ences held last week in Iowa between
representatives of the Iowa Bankers
association and officers and member
of the Iowa Farm Bureau Fedora ton
Recognizing their interdependence O
interests both sides admit the necs
! sity of mutual aid and team work i
the nations business machine is to b,
carried safely over the presen
stretch of rough going without mis-
hap.
At both Fort Dodge and Red Oak the
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
THAT the bankers and farmers
conference assembled pledge to
each other their sincere coopera-
ton and help in carrying their
business over this period of ruin
" ously low prices
At one of the meetings an official
connected with the Federal Reserve
banking system was in favor of i'm
mediate liquidation to the extent OF
marketing all of the 1919 crop on hand
and also the 1920 crop Of oats. This
he thought, would clear up Iowa's
Indebtedness to the Federal Reserve
which amounts to about 01,OOO,OOO.
No Need to Worry.
Secretary Cunningham called at.
tention to the fact that while Iowa
might owe $91.OOO,OOO the crops on
hand, including the carryover from
last year are worth not less than $780,
100000 and that under the circum-
stances there was scant need for any
body to worry over any question of
Iowa's solvency.
The secretary declared that the
farmer is willing to stand a reasonable
share of the inconvenience bound to
come as the result of de1atiOn. They
expect to suffer a considerable loss,
but don't believe they ought to be
forced to sell at the present ruinously
low prices offered The extension of
credit wherever possible, together with
an attitude of leniency ad fair deal
ing on the part of landlords toward
renters, will do much to save the. day
for the agricultural industry.
Numerous expressions Of approval Of
Mr.. Cunningham's course were heard,
from bankers and others. A false i'm
preston that has prevailed in some
quarters to the effect that the social
ed farmers strike" for So wheat was
started in Iowa was corrected. 1t was
also explained that the Iowa farmer
is not attempting to set prices, nor
to control prices. but simply trying to
shape his selling operations in a bust
nesslike manner, and in way that
will avoid flooding an already sagging
market.
Bankers and Farmers Cooperate.
A majority of the bankers announced
that they are ready to stand by the
farmers in every way possible during

this period of financial stringency. As
was pointed out if the 1920 crop were
all put on the market Immediately the
bulk of it would have to go into stor-
age somewhere and somebody would
have to finance it. wherever it might
be, so why not finance it in the hands
of the grower.
The harmonious spirit that prevailed
augurs well for the future. 1t was
made plain that the Iowa farmer and
the Iowa banker are going to pull to-
gether. That being true there is every
reason to look for decided improve
ment of conditions in the near future.

The Methodist campaign to raise

noon will be extended throughout the
week. it was announced today by DR.
r. 7. Chipperfield.
Although efforts of the canvassers
met with success it has been found
necessary to extend the drive in orde4

The enterprise was formally opened
yesterday by luncheon which the
ladies of the church served following
the morning services and which was
attended by the board Of stewards and
those who were to participate in the
canvass.
Teams of two members each visited
the homes Of church members during
the afternoon, meeting with gener-
Gus response. However, there is still
considerable work to be done.

Donations Weekly.
The donations are to be given week
" for the period of year and allot-
ments range from minimum of 10
cents to a maximum assessment of 80
a week. The money raised is to be
used for current church expenses
which amount to $1,000, and exceed
last years by $1,000. This does not in
clude the benevolent offerings made by
the Methodist church and used for
educational, missionary, reform, tenn

TAMES BUCHANAN was the last
u president to wrap his neck In q
stock, as Monroe was the last to wear
knee-breeches-and he was the last
of an era. An age passed away as
he.passed' out of the White House.
After Buchanan's birth at a Penn
sylyania log cabin, his father, VINO
was an Irish Immigrant, prospered as
a country storekeeper and was able
to, send. ,his.son to college. But the
college sent him back las wild spirit
that it could not tame. The pastor
of the scandalized family begged and
obtained a chance for the Maynard
youth, who improved it so well that
he graduated first in his class. Never
theless, the still. unforgiving faculty
denied him the honors Of his rank.
This would be but dull story or
law and politics were it not for q
single tragic episode which cast a
shadow over the whole after life OF
our bachelor president, the only presi-
dent to die a bachelor. A young wom-
an, to whom Buchanan was engaged
in early manhood, daughter OF the
.wealthiest family in the county, wrote
him q letter of dismissal under the
spell Of Q jealousy which had been
aroused sBy lgossips. Pride on both
