DEFENDS COUNTRY BANKERS

State Bank Examiner John HirDing
of South Dakota is decided in his view 5
as to the banking situation as expressed
by Soy. Harding of the federal reserve
board in the charge that the country
banks are 'profteering" in the presen:
money situation. Mr. Hirning says
Il read with interest the reply of GOV.
Harding of the federal reserve board L.
Gov. McKelvie of Nebraska, Gov Hard
| ing charges the banks with profteering,
and must assume that he means the
country banks, owing to the fact that
most of the Nebraska banks outside Of
one or two large cities can be put in this
class. If Mr.. Harding wants to make
his charge good he will have to reach q
great deal higher than the average coun-
try bank. | know from personal knowl-
edge that certain of the larger banks
controlled by certain interests are charg-
ing country banks not only the ten per
cent the paper actually draws, lift draws
that much, but also every time they feel
inclined to investigate the loans they
charge the expense of examination,
which in many cases amounts to more
than 500, to the borrowing bank. And
beside whenever they think they want
an abstract of chattel mortgages it is or
dered and charged to the borrowing
bank. | know of other cases where this
class of banks charge the borrowing
banks 8 per cent on borrowed money
and charge the amount monthly. If
you take into consideration that the alb
stract fees and inspection fees also have
to be borne by the borrowing bank you
will see these banks in all such cases
operate at loss, but at the present time
they are helpless and have to stand for
it or see the farmer wiped out. Now if
these larger banks receive the benefit of
9 per cent from the federal reserve
bank they are the ones who should be
put in the class of protiteers, and not
the country banks which are at this
time straining every effort, no matter at
what expense to themselves, to save the
farmers and ranchers. These larger
banks, from all appearances, received
the sole benefit Of the so-called $50, 000
900 pool or stockgrowers finance corpor-
alton, end unless the government will
handle the matter very carefully they
will also get the sole benefit from the
war finance corporation.

If you plan to buy Hereford females,
investigate the man you buy from be-
fore you pay much attention to his cat
tle When you have found that he is
absolutely square in his dealings, that
his cattle are in well-fenced pastures,
that his bulls are always where they be-
long and that he knows at all times Just
what his females are bred to, you can
look over his cattle. There are some
spectators in the Hereford business who
have been careless in the way they have
handled their cattle and have not taken
care of them as they should. A BEGIN

LETTER FROM W. J. BowLRs.
BosToN, Ark, Sept. Is, 1921.
Mr.. JOSEPH KUBLER,
Custer, 5. D.

MR.. JOSEPH MULLER,
Custer, 5. d.
KIND SIR;-As my subscription to the
Chronicle is nearly up thought | would
write you and send the money for an
other year.
We have been down in Arkansas
nearly year and find the climate nice
and cool with good breeze all the time.
The thermometer was up to "a degrees
the last day of July, for only one day,
then dropped down to s. and has been
ranging from 70 to s. ever since They
tell me here that it has been a hot sum
mer but l have worked right out in the
sun every day and it did not bother me
as much as when in Custer. We never
have hot nights as we are right on top
Oft the mountains. The crops are good
here, but there is not much farming.
Ihe timber business is the leading occu-
patton. We are on the State Road from
Pettigrew to Clarksvil and some days as
many as hundred teams go by with
timber The people are about the same
as in Custer except the older class and
they are old fashioned, bot nice and
fri, ,ndly.
We have good water and plenty of it.
There was plenty of rain this summer.
1t is great place to raise all kinds of
garden stuff. We have sweet potatoes
that measure lG inches long and as large
around as my arm. We have more gar
den stuff than We ever had while in
Custer and have enough canned TO do us
two years. There is fruit of all kinds,
berries, grapes, persimmons, papaws
and all kinds OF nuts There wasn't so
much fruit this year on account of late
frost in the spring but we have the trees
TO produce it.
Land is cheap here on account of the
fact that the farms have been neglected
to carry on the timber business. Men
hauling timber are paid each night in
cash and many of them have let their
buildings and fences run down aud
haven't the money to fix them up again
and have to sell, Some of the land is
good and all that is necessary is some
live ones. i is the best place for poor
man to get home and make a good
living and DO it the easiest way.
Give our regards to all of our friends
in Custer and tell them if they want to
see me they will have to come down
here or send the sheriff after me.

opportunity in 1924 to observe a mem

to join with all those who hold dear the

it was written in the Hills early days in
honoring and perpetuating that record.

The Bond Issue.

a correspondent of the Wash
1ngton Star says that seventy-fve
per cent of the people of Vir-
glula are opposed to the bond
issue as now proposed. Virginia
needs better roads, but she does
not want to get them by having
a mortgage placed upon her prop.
erty which will be a continuous
tax for the next century. Vir-
R1rla has more money with which
to build roads than she has ever
had, and yet these modern road
builders want her to borrow
$4,000, ZOO, to enable them to
build a few through roads, and
they will then permit people tc
improve their home roads, which
are in almost constant use, If
they pay for them.
This is an issue of more i'm.
portance than any of the politi-
cal issues, which have now de.
generated to a race for the spoils,
without regard to the qualifca.
ton of the men who aspire to the
Offices.
The men who seek to represent
this county, in ssthe Legislature,
should be required to statess theia
position upon the bond Issue
question and no one should be
elected who is not in sympathy
with the majority of our people
who are opposed to the proposed
action which would place griev.
Gus burden upon us and upon
future generations.
The two parties should non7i.
nate men who are ia accord will
their own people, and who have
the ability to defend the position
which Shenandoah has held upor
the road question. Give us GOOD
strong men and it then matter,
little who shall be elected.

Why So Much Fuss Over Legs

~ dSS " ' Ia W
From Winchester Star.
Editor The Star;
The Rev. Carter A. jenkins
has served notice. Quit the
Dance or Quit the Church. Give
these so-called reformers enough
rope, and | think they will have
some left from tine tying of others
to hang themselves with.
Any act that is not immoral
may be made immoral it de-
ponds upon the actor. The ma
jority of people do not dance i'm
morally.
The styles of today are not i'm
modest unless the wearers make
them SO. What is immodesty ?
Some persons call it wearing a
skirt from three to four inches
shorter than skirts were
worn when, in their infancy,
these persons first knew skirts.
" nrte one woman is immodest
thousands are not.
lmmodesty is something far
worse than showing a leg a little
below the knee. A pretty leg is
almost as desirable as a pretty
face. Why should there be any,
thing! more immodest about leg
than an arm?
The fellows that are doing the
most lamenting in the press must
be doing a deal of looking at our
legs ard at our dancing. These
so-called soul preservers have
been accusing women of immod-
esty ever since clothes have been
worn. What they call bad is
often not bad, and what they
term good is often not good, but
bad. | wish they would make
their own personalities more
pleasing.
