Lend Farmers
Two Billions

the proceeds of such loans have been
applied by the borrowing banks for
agricultural purposes, but it is impos-
sible to state the amount.
Conditions Similar in Other Banks.
The same is true with respect to
loans made by member banks in Chi
cago, st. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas
City. New Orleans and other financial
centers throughout the country. Non
member State banks lend large sums
In the aggregate for agricultural pur-
poses. But as they have no dealings
with the Federal Reserve banks their
loans to farmers are not reflected in
the figures furnished by the Federal
Reserve banks, although 1t is a fact
that all Federal Reserve banks have
been lending large amount to men,
Der banks, which have in turn redis-
counted paper for nonmember banks.
1T should be borne in mind also
that the total amount of farmers notes
rediscounted by Federal Reserve
banks gives no indication of the
amount advanced by the Federal Re-
serve banks to finance the production
and sale of farm products, since large
amounts advanced to member banks
IN other districts on commercial and
industrial paper are used by these
banks for loans to agricultural inter
estS. Only the Federal Reserve banks
of Richmond, Atlanta, st. Louis and
Minneapolis have taken account of
loans of this character by increasing
proportfonately the amounts formally
classed as farmers paper.
I'm view of these facts, it is evident
that the compilation transmitted here
with Is valuable merely as indicating
the increased amount of agricultural
paper rediscounied by the Federal Re-
serve banks for member banks during
the year 1920 over the year 1919.

GOETHE HERO OF ROMANCE
Minor Love Affair That Figured In the
Life of Germany's Most Famous
Man of Letters.

Goethe, famous man Of letters, once
loved a pretty little wife of a middle
aged merchant, Peter Anton Brentano,
who sold cheese and behring's.
Goethe, always careless Of custom
and tradition, went often to the Bren-
tano home. 1t did not take him long
to discover that the lovely Maximill-
ane was extremely unhappy, and ne
did what he could to make her smile.
He romped with her step-children, and
he played bass viol at family con-
.certs.
Both were younger than Brentano,
and both were palpably bored by
his merchant friends and their talk
Of sales and profits.
At first Brentano was delighted to
have Goethe come to the house.
His visits made Maximiliane happy,
and that pleased the husband, who
had grieved when he saw his wife
smile so seldom. But he grew suspi-
cious. He counseled Maximiliane
to see Goethe less often, and there
were violent scenes in the house
hold. Goethe sided with the young
wife, and continued to call frequent
ly. Brentano could not conceal his
wrath and his flaming jealousy. He
upbraided them, and there were
terrible moments" Goethe finally
rushed away in anger from The
house, determined never to be en-
broiled In such quarrels again. He
plunged into the writing Of "Wer-
Their" and Maximiliane passed out Of
his life.

Favored SUNDAY sports.

The vicar of st. Andrews, Whittle-
sea, is by no means the first country
clergyman to favor Sunday cricket.
In his pamphlet of 1896 on the Sun
day question Dickens told Of a Sunday
he had spent few days before in d
village 20 miles west of London. He
was delighted in the evening to find
the whole village at cricket. When he
saw the old clergyman approaching:
II trembled for an angry interruption
to the sport and was almost on the
point Of crying out to warn the crick-
eters. What was my agree
able surprise to see the old gentle
man standing at the style, with his
hands in his pockets, surveying the
whole scene with evident satisfaction.
It was the clergyman who had estab-
lished the whole thing; It was his field
they played in, and 1t was he who had
purchased the stumps. bats, ball and
all."-London Chronicle.

back to her big garden and the green

vile, and to the ready, sympathetic
confidence Of Sophronla Ames. She
told Sophronla of brilliant scenes In
the changing spectacle of metropolitan
life, Of the wonderful young man and
the untimely affection Of Phyllis, now
happily past. Then, in a whisper,
while Sophronia held up her right
hand as a pledge Of secrecy, she told
Of the necklace of which the lucky
girl had no knowledge. Now, Mrs.
Ames was one of the best Of women.
People were wont to speak of her, and
rightly, as 'the salt of the EARTH" She
would do anything possible for a
friend. But Mamie Bling had asked too
much. Moreover, always 1t had been
understood between them that these
half-playful oaths were not to be taken
too seriously. OF course, "the fish had
to be fed" as Judge Croker had once
put 1t. BY "the fish," he meant that
curious under-llfe of the village-the
vOracious, silent, merciless, cold
blooded thing which fed on the sins
and fOllies Of men and women and
which rarely came to the surface to
bother anyone.

cHAPrER FouR-contInued.


Mr.. Sneed sat down with Judge
Croker in the handsome library Of the
latter and opened his heart. His son
Richard, a boy Of fifteen, and three
other lads Of the village. had been
committing small burglaries and stor-
ing their booty In cave In piece Of
woods on the river bank near the VIII
lage. A constable had secured a con-
fesslon and recovered a part Of the
booty. Enough had been found to war
rant a charge Of grand larceny and
Elisha Potts, whose store had been
entered, was clamoring for the arrest
of the boys.
ut reminds me of that picture of the
robbers cave that was on the bill
board of our school of crime few
weeks ago, said the judge. I'm tired
enough to lie down, but I'll go and see
Elisha Potts. If he's abed, he'll have
to get up, that's all. There's no tell
ing what Potts has done or may do.
Your plumbing is in bad shape, Mr.
Sneed. The public sewer is leaking
into your cellar and in case of that
kind the less delay the better"
He went into the hall and put on
his coat and gloves and took his cane
out of the rack. He was sixty-dve
years of age that winter. 1t was a
bitter night, when even younger men
found 1t a trial to leave the comfort
Of the fireside. Sneed followed in
silence. Indeed, his tongue was shame
bound. For a moment, he knew not
what to say.
Tin much Obliged to you" he
stammered as they went out into the
cold wind. IL don't care what II
costs, either"
The judge stopped and turned to
ward him.
Look here" he said, money does
not enter into this proceeding or any
motive but the will to help neigh
Dor. In such a matter overtime
doesn't count"
They walked In silence to the corner
There Sneed pressed the judges hand
and tried to say something, but his
voice failed him.

Phyllis found the remedy she need
ed in the ceaseless round Of outdoor
frolic Her spirit washed I'm the glow
ing air found refreshment in the sleep
that follows WEAKNESS and good d.
gestlon. Her health improved so Wis
IDLY that her stay was far prolonged.
1t was the first week of May when
Mrs. Bling drove up to get her. The
girl was in perfect condition, it would
seem. No rustic maid, In all the noun
tain valleys, had lighter feet or clearer
eyes or a more honest, rudy tan in
her face, due to the touch of the clean
wind. She had grown as 1.-THE and
strong as young panther.
They were going back to Blngvllle
next day. Martha and Susan had been
getting the house ready. Mrs. Bling
had been preparing what she fondly
hoped would be "a lovely surprise" for
Phyllis. Roger Delane was coming
up to spend a quiet week with the
Binks-a week Of opportunity for the
young people, with saddle horses and
new steam launch and a Peterbor-
ough canoe and all pleasant accesso-
ries. Then, on the twentieth, which
was the birthday Of Phyllis, there was
to be a dinner and a house party and
possibly an announcement and a pref.
ty wagging of tongues. Indeed, j.
Patterson had already bought the we'd
ding gift. a necklace of pearls, and
paid a hundred thousand dollars for II
and put 1t away In his safe. The neck
lace had pleased him. He had seen
many jewels, but nothing so satisfying
nothing that so well expressed his
affection for his daughter. He might
never see its like again. So he bought
It against the happy day which he
hoped was near. He had shown 1t to
his wife and charged her to make no
mention Of 1t until "the time was
ripe" in his way Of speaking.
Mrs. Bling had promised on her word
and honor to respect the confidence OF
her husband, with all righteous inten'
ton, but on the very day of their ar
rival in Blngyille, SOphrOnia (Mrs
Pendleton) Ames called. SOphronin
