BANKERS URGED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Bankers
ing in the establishment of co-opera-
tive warehousing and selling organi-
cations, Chairman Joseph HirSch, of
the agricultural commission of the
American Bankers association, de-
clared today, in presenting the report
of the commission to the convention.
MANY of US have been fearful of
entering the field of marketing be-
cause in doing this we have been
afraid we would come in conflict with
our own customers, the middlemen.
who are buying the farmers prod
uct," the report said. But it Is high
time for the bankers of the country
to realize that a more economical
method of distributing our food
products is absolutely essential to
the success of American agriculture:
that unless farmers can produce and
sell their crops with some reasonable
assurance of a fair profit there will
be an increasing tide of men drifting
from the farms to the cities.
1--WE believe in cooperation for
ourselves. The federal reserve sys-
tenn is a cooperative enterprise. In
like manner, cooperation among
farmers in apportioning what they
produce TO meet the demands of the
country is economically sound. The
farmer needs your help in this work
because you can supply him with
that essential which he chiefly lacks
"a knowledge of business organiza-
ton and business method"
The report urged bankers to sup
port appropriations for larger pay to
experts employed by the department
of agriculture and suggested that
state conferences of bankers and
farmers be held. to enlist co-opera-
lion in AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT.

Found at Fair Tuesday
By Atlanta Boy Scouts

Finding lost children is the special
ty of the Boy Scouts on duty at the
Southeastern fair. On Tuesday they
took charge OF Ill youngsters who
had strayed away from their parents
and were wandering about the
grounds in various stages Of bewil-
derment and fright. They were taken
to the scout headquarters near the
main entrance and kept until their
parents put in an appearance to claim
their offspring. Tuesdays operations
eclipsed those of last year, when in a
single day the scouts found 102 lost
children.
The, scouts, who are picked from
the several troops In Atlanta and vi

NEW YORK.-Roosters in Wall
ington, N. J., were beginning to crow
in anticipation of the dawn when
Andy Rasmun stole up Lester street
in his stocking feet. Andy is six
feet three inches in height even when
his tread would have resounded
through Lester street at that hour
like the passage of a battery of
field guns.
1t was not Andy's ambition to i'm
personata anything more resonant
than n cat with bird in view or an
undertaken when the mourners are
assembled. His attitude of mind was
something like the cats and some
thing like the undertaker's. He was
expectant but not cheerful. For An
dy had been to the lodge meeting.
For Andy to go to lodge meeting
of a Saturday night was equivalent
in the Rasmun family circle, to three
cheers for Wrangel given by a COM
uissary in Lenine's family circle. 1t
meant trouble and lots of 1t when he
got home, Andy knew, for Mrs. Andy,
who is five feet two inches in height,
had put her No. IA down with great
firmness and announced that lodge
meetings were vulgar.
So it was with the utmost caution
and considerable trepidation that An
dy tip-toed down Lester street to-
ward his home in the brilliant moon
light yesterday morning. On reach
ing his home he sat down softly on
the front steps and tried to think of
some way of getting into the house
which was less obvious than the
front door.
TOO Cold to Stay Outside
1t was chilly on tho front steps,
and after awhile ANDY gave it up
and inserted his key in the lock.
Softly and slowly he turned the
knob and placed his weight against
the door. Just IS he had expected,
it creaked.
AMY came in firm feminine
tones from the upper floor.
Andy said nothing.
ANDY"
Yes, ma'am," said Andy.
Come right upstairs"
Yes, ma'am," said Andy.
His wife met him at the top of
the flight. So did a couple of fat
irons. All the neighborhood was ap-
prised of the fact that Andy Rasmun
