Germany for over year, and was
banished from there by the kaiser's
government under the general order
against Mormons. Mr.. Miller came
to America and finished his two
years mission under new assign
ment, and afterwards visited some
foreign countries in his naval SER
vice. He was fine musician and
a young man of good wholesome
character wherever he went.

is the point: You cannot say you will
only lend $3.50 and that you will
make that loan to a class Of farmers
who 'only want $500. while at the
same time here is a man who wants
$4,000 or $4,000, who is just as capa-
BILE of using that amount efficiently in
the production of food as is the other
fellow Of using the $3.50.
"Since this bin (senate bill 3lO9) has
been pending. the statement has gone
out from the joint stock land banks
that all applications for loans are held
up until 1t is known whether this bill
is to pass. My neighbor. Mr.. J. II.
Upps, was approached by loan shark
and offered n loan Of $4,000 TO take
the place Of a loan that was to have
been made to him by a joint stock land
hank. The joint stock land bank would
have made the loan for 23 years, but
the loan shark only offered Ia make
his loan for five years. The loan
shark did, however. offer 20 make The
loan of $4,000 at 6 per cent interest
with only an additional charge Of $500
for commission.

But the question is: What will
