LAFAYETTE BANK
To HELP F FARMERS
INSTITUTION OF NEIeH5oRINc
CITY ANNOUNCES IT WILL
LEND MONEY ON COTTON

Several banks located throughout
Southwest Louisiana have gotten to-
gether on plan to aid farmers to hold
cotton and rice. Prominent among the
number is the Bank Of Lafayette and
Trust Company Of Lafayette. Concern
ing this move on the part or this par
ticular bank, the following appeared in
a recent issue of the Lafayette Ga
zette:
Announcement was made Thursday
morning by J. o. Barry. cashier Of the
Bank Of Lafayette and Trust Company,
that this big banking institution would
assist financially in the orderly mar
keting of the crops of Lafayette parish.
This action was taken Wednesday
evening at a meeting of the board Of
directors, following a,discussion of the
present emergency among cotton and
other planters in this Immediate terri
tory. The directors we're Of one mind
that the bank should render whatever
assistance was consistent with sound
banking and the requirements of the
emergency, as an disqualification of its
community building and promoting pol
icy.
Discussing the action of the bank,
Mr.. Barry said
"We are prepared to lend fifty per
cent of the quoted market value of cot
ton upon adopted regulations. Rice
mills, growers and dealers have ar
ranged to handle rice on a toll basis,
marketing through one selling agency,
and will advance 50 per barrel on No.
l and No. Blue Rose basis.
"Our trust department will be glad
to take care Of the farmers require
ments on cotton, and we will look after
shipments and contracts or rice wher-
ever it is desired to take advantage of
the arrangements made"
This action will furnish great relief
to the cotton and rice planters who
have been facing the desperate situa-
tion of owning large crop into which
they had invested both large sums of
money and a seasons labor. only TO
find falling market threatened losses
and lack of money whit which to
move the crops to market. AS an indi-

present situation, we might quote To-

of future citizens will have been ac-
complished and the new era of active
participation in affairs may be said
to have begun.
Though their school term is over,
the graduates will find that school
has just started. The fundamentals
acquired, the work of development lies
before them. But in this depeloping
process lies real education. There is
considerable difference between an
army with full equipment and no ex-
perience of action and one that has
been in numerous engagements.
In experience lies education.
TIL graduate will find no primrose
path and few thornless roses but the
modern species will have consider
able advantage in that a clearly, de-
fined duty beckons just ahead. The
real work consists in the readjust-
ment of conditions so that the present
unsettled state of unrest may be dis
sipated both as regards the labor sit
uation and the present elevated posi-
ton of prices. If the graduates can
and will do these two things-restore
the pre-war spirit and conditions
then their early preparation shall not
have been in vain.

AT THE WRONG END.

The agricultural appropriation bill
for the fiscal year beginning July l,
1920, as recently passed by Congress,
carries approximately $6,OO0,000 less
than the estimate made by the de-
partment as to its needs, and $2,185-
600 less than the amount provided in
the appropriation act for the current
fiscal year. Although the effect of
reduced funds on the work of the de-
partment was laid fully before Con-
gress while the bill was under. consid-
Grafton, this serious reduction has
been made apparently on the ground
of economy. This is not real economy,
however, because it will certainly
hamper the department in its effort
to aid the farmers of the country in
doing their work of feeding and cloth
ing the people, and will also handicap
the department in administering some
of the important regulatory laws en-
trusted to it for enforcement. The
projects or activities to be curtailed
or discontinued if so far as the de-
partment has any discretion in the
matter, have been determined only af-
ter a very thorough and careful re-
view of the whole situation, taking all
the factors into consideration.

BEING BORN AGAIN

Doubtless every man has a secret
hankering to read his own obituary.
However harsh our critics may be
while we keep our health, they al
ways manage to find lot Of fine
things to say about US when we're
laid out, and dressed up for our last
ride.
Politicians become statesmen after
death; fat brokers become eminent
fnanciers; gentlemen of great
wealth who were roundly cussed by
the public, and soundly trounced by
the department of justice, emerge
from their mortal bonds to discover
that they were men of genius, build
ers of empires, sovereigns of sagac-
ity and doers of great works.
Most of us, however, never get a
chance at the dessert of death; for
us the greasy soup of criticism; the
cold fish of disesteem, the soggy
bread of failure, and the watery
boiled potatoes of misfortune; they
wait until we have our. shroud all
fitted, and then they bring in the
small block of friendship, the vel
vety creams of laudation, and the
rich sauces Of public praise for the
steaming pudding of renown.
Occasionally some lucky fellows
get chance to live after their biog-
raphers have done their best, and
more of these favored ones have
cropped out since the war.
We notice that four California SOL
diers are asking the courts for re-
birth certificates; officially dead,
publically buried with the garlands
of heroes, their relatives honored
with golden scrolls from the state,
still they assert that they are alive
and desire a chance to appear on the
census returns rather than the cas-
ualty list.
Officially dead, they, must be off
cially reborn before they can become
heir to their own belongings, or be-
fore they can marry, vote or pay
taxes.
Fortunate indeed these four, since
they know the sweets of kindly re
membrance and will soon know the
joys of rebirth.
To be born again at the age of q
or 30; to start in once more, but
tressed by experience, knowing thu
pitfalls and understanding the sec
rets of success; truly a mark which
many arrows have flown at long be
fore Ponce de Leon sought his pri
vate pool of youth.

OBITUARY

Elmer A. Brown, the son of Wayne
and Sophronia Brown, was born in
Royalton, o., May 16, 1868. His early
life was spent in Brunswick, where he
was married to Nettie Peters, Sept. 16
1881. To this union were born three
children, one son and two daughters,
one daughter dying in infancy. Mrs.
Brown died in December 1896. He
was married again August %, 1899, to
Miss Ida Troutman of Mallet Greek, o.
He was contractor and carpenter by

his work was well done. He was
member of the Modern Woodmen and
the I. o. O. F. In the year 1898 he
was converted and received into the
Medina Methodist Episcopal church by
the Rev. G. T. Erickson. He had been
in failing health for several years and
especially for the last two years, but
he bore his illness patiently and when
not able to express himself in words
he would smile as he was ministered
unto by his loving wife and children.
He passed away on Tuesday morning,
June 8, aged 81 years, 22 days. He
leaves to mourn their loss, a loving
wife, one son Ernest R. Brown of Ak

heavenly home, in the faith of the
christian. The funeral services were
held at the home on Friday at 2 o.

FAMILIES AND FIRESIDES

According to Stone and Webster,
there were 23,292,SS7 families exis-
ting in the United States in 1916,
and the number of dwellings in the
country numbered 2O,163,O51. In 1920
there were 25,319,443 families and
20,900,000 dwellings. While families
have been increasing in healthy
manner, showing an increase of e.
O26,556 in the period covered, the
number of dwellings, has increased
but 636,949. Dwellings, we assume,
mean places of all kinds were families
live with or without the conveniences
that are called modern. From
these figures it seems plain that if the
country was caught up on it's housing
facilities in 1916, that it is now short
a million to a million and half of
houses. Pittsburgh is reported 10000
houses short, and Detroit is two or
three times as bad off.
"The great activity in building op-
erations which was expected on the
return of peace has not materialized'
says the Stone and Webster Journal.
And then there follows this comment !:
"Why should it? The wages which the
building trades are receiving are al
most prohibitive and they are demand
ing still more, so that no contractor
will take a lump sum contract. Build
ing materials have advanced--not the
twenty-five per cent intimated in the
case of the landlord as being profit
eering high-but 100 per cent or more,
and no one will say that the end is
yet in sight"
The wide contrasts between the
number of families and the supply of
firesides is surely lamentable, but
there is little to indicate that there
is any probability of relief in sight
The law of supply and demand has
evidently been upset by price-fixing
profiteering, and too much regulating
by the Government, and perhaps after
a while new roosts will be created fol
homeless heads.

THE. COUNTY AGENT

The greatest agricultural institution
in any county is the county agricultur-
al agent. Ohio now has one in 78 of
her counties and it will not be long
until every county in Ohio sees the
light.
Time was when county agent was
looked upon by the farmer as an inter-
loper-a man with theoretical know
ledge only of agriculture who came
into county and tried to tell old-time
established farmers how to run their
farms.
This fallacious idea has been dissi-
pated by the very effective work ac-
complished by the county agents. Not
only for the actual knowledge that
they have brought into the field, does
the true worth of the county agent
become apparent but for his system
of carrying intelligently information
from one farmer who has unusual
success in certain line to those who
have lacked an experience.
The true worth of the county agent
is best evidenced by his facility for or
ganizing, his cementing of interests,
his. ability to create a cooperative
spirit.
Medina is extremely fortunate in
having one of the best county agricul-
tural agents in the field. His accom-
plishments in development, organiza-
ton, dissipating of a jealous atmos-
phere and the building up Of a fra
ternal spirit among the farmers of the
county have shown the true worth Of
s. M. Salisbury.

IMPROVE PROPERTY.

Two things depreciate the value of
business real estate. High rents and
poor improvements. After while
business moves away to locations
where most favorable conditions are
offered. In Atlanta, Ga, the entire
retail business district was changed
in a single season. Landlords who
fail to keep their property up will find
those places gradually emptying.

With ITO majority, the majority par ty will have no difficulty in putting through it's program. The republican caucus has approved an increase in the total number. This will be from the 435 at present to 483 to be voted for in the congressional election of 1922. The present ratio is one representative to every 211 900 people in the country, except in states which have popula- tions less than that number.
