The note for $500 he dispute a was

The note for $500 he disputed was
given when he was personally In the
bank and In the presence Df the
whole bank force. When the note be-
came due he made a special trip to
town to renew it and did so I'm the
presence Of all the bank people.
In his evidence he mentioned many
wild deals l had persuaded him into
when as a matter Of fact ! did every
thing in my power to keep him out OF
any kind Of speculation. He stated
on the witness stand that he signed %
blank notes and left with us to fill in
as we liked. This story is In line with
his silent Partner" tale and just as
untrue No honest man would leave
such a number of notes signed In
blank, neither would any sensible man
accept them.
If Mr. Puyear had desired to TIE hon.
est with his creditors he would have
used due diligence in getting mis- grain
$4,000 sold at $2.1O per bushel.
My only object in writing the above
is to place the real facts before the
public, and II there is the slightest de-
Walton from the real facts In the
above am not aware Of 1t. Indeed, /
can prove every statement
To say the least 1t does seem wrong
to allow man to W, rk numerous
creditors to the extent of more than
$4,000, getting away at an amount
estimated at more than $4,000 In
cash, ignoring many of our best peo-
pie, and then go scot free, decorated
with many laurels.
Thanking you kindly, Mr.. Editor
for the publication of the above, am
Very truly yours,

RUSSELL DENIES THAT HE WAS
SILENT PARTNER OF PUYEAR

Following the publication in last
weeks Globe Of portions of the testi-
mony of Percy p. Puyear, as adduced
during the trial of the State VS..
Puyear, in the district court r. H.
Russell, cashier Of the Grangeville
Savings 4 Trust Company which clos
ed its doors last November, has writ
ten to the Globe communication In
which Mr.. Russell replies to Puyear's
statements as made on the witness
stand under oath In the district court.
Puyear stated in court that part
nership existed between Russell and
Puyear; that Russell was the ''silent
partner p that Russell had encouraged
Puyear to buy cattle for this partner
ship and had told Puyear that the
"sky was the limit" that Russell and
Puyear were in land deals together
and that Puyear signed several notes
In blank and left them at the bank.

by some one telling sporty story and

loan was gotten from the Exchange

was for $4,000, as ! remember it.
Mr.. Puyear negotiated for this loan
personally, from Mr.. o. NJ. Green, who
was at that time vice president of the
Exchange National bank. This loan
is matter of record at the Grange

HOW THE RAILROADS "FIGGER.'

Many OF us have heard quite a lot
about the transactions between the
railroads and the government, but
very few Of us have had an opportun-
MY to see the balance sheet. The
way 1t was done reminds us of that
Piece OF doggerel which says "a
naughts a naught and figger's a fig
Sr; all for the white man and none
1cr fhe Niger"
When the railroads were returned
10 their owners in March Of 1920 the
". s. Railroad Administration re-
ported to congress that the govern
Hnent owed the railroads $1.476,OO0
900 and that the railroads owed the
goxa<ament $1.677, 900 900. But from
tbe money owed by the government
dhere was to be deducted $815,OOO,-
900 for physical improvements made
during federal control, so that finally
the government would have to pay
Sthe railroads only 1861 100000, which
'zesults from 1915, 100000 being sub
Htracted from $1,47S,OOO, 900. This
Sieft the railroads owing the govern
-ment little more than one billion
sdo1lars net.
And now the railroads have Jecur-
ed 3500.000. 900 Of new money from
Tbe government, of course, as a loan,
while the agricultural interests which
owe the government nothing are
ensed sff with a paltry little $685.

Us TO pick from. His first plan was

die our own cream. the second was
for us to ship sweet cream every day
to be made into ice cream, and the
third was for us to ship sour cream

to be made into butter. Realizing
that we did not have a sufficient num-
Der of cows 10 justify a creamery and
IS the demand for ice cream will not
last all the year, we q .ided that it
will be best fer us to sup sour cream

manifested along this line until with
i'll very short time we found farm
ers that were readA TO pledge the
cream from about one hundred and
twenty five cows. Mr.. Schmolke was
so well pleased with the results until
he went off to locate a sure market
for the cream and as soon as he
finds this market he will come back
and spend week with us. During this
week We will canvass the county
holding meetings wherever they are
wanted and give every man an oppor-
tunity to join in with us.

I'm other words" says a writer,
Uncle Sam is expected to be banker
to the railroads. and perhaps in per-
petuity. If the government is the
banker, OF course, the government
Will want to see that the railroads
make enough to pay the interest and
sinking fund charges, and this would
be done through the rate fixing pow
er of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission"
But the railroad executives keep
telling us the railroads are insolvent.
If their tale of woe is correct then
why should the government be such
a ready banker? No man can get q
banker to lend him money by telling
the banker he is insolvent.
And then again. why put the cart
before the horse? If the railroads
have nothing to haul how can they
expect to make money? OF what use
TIC them is the s5OO,0OO,O0O they
secured from the government If the
paltry S25,000,000 the agricultural
industry received is not sufficient to
put the farmer on his feet and assist
him in producing something that will
put the railroads back on their feet?
1t would have been more logical
and certainly much better for the
railroads and also for the nation as

''CYNICAL AND CRUEL"
SAYS WANNAMAKER
South Caronnian Charges Federal Re-
serve Board With Responsible
ity for Low Prices.

Washington, Aug 22--Federal re-
serve board policies in connection
with price and currency deflation are
cynical" cruel and inexcusable"
and constitute financial tyranny and
commercial criminality" ]. s. Wan
namaker. president of the American
Cotton association. charged today be-
fore a Joint congressional agriculture
commission. The boards methods. he
added. are "heaping up gold in the
United States at the expense of all
civilization"
Speaking. he said, for agricultur-
al producers. the witness asserted the
tederal board and banks were respon-
sible for the general price decline.
The boards pressure still was being
exerted upon bankers who are
afraid of their shadow, who may find
all their loans called by the reserve
banks any minute, and dare not dis
obey its ORDERS" according to Mr..
Wannamaker, who asked the commits
fsion to recommend legislation for
general revision of the reserve board
personnel.
He proposed that the personnel be
composed Of IL members, nominated
from the various districts as repre-
sentatives of industry instead of
banking. who should be appointed
by the president and confirmed by
the senate. Further, he suggested
that the commission recommend the
instant reduction in federal reserve
rediscount rates. to basis of 8 1-2
per cent. on Liberty loan collateral.
THE federal reserve banking sys-
tenn, created to serve the people by
it's administration has made the
people servants Of the system" he
asserted. Its policy will require the
American people to pay with deflated
dollars a national debt borrowed in
inflated dollars"
Price declines that have been ef-
fected lately. he dclared, would not
help consumers. because "they have
left nothing for agricultural produc-
ers to do but combine and reduce
production so low in the future that
prices will give us some margin of
profit and let us pay our debts"
Il heard as early as 1913 that plans
were being rigged up to put on defla-
t1on," Mr.. Wannamaker said. This
eliminated in what was called a buy
ers' strike in 1920. We never had a
buyers strike. it was a buyes' panic,
the result of unceasing propaganda
sent out to make people afraid of
prices. to spread the fear that prices
were to go lower"
by whom was this propaganda
spread" queried Representative
Funk (Republican} of Illinois.
"Tll first take up the case Of the
reserve board" continued Mr.. Wan
namaker. ''and I'll ask the commits
sion to ask that board the amount
paid out for publicity during the last
18 months for correspondence and
the distribution of newspaper ma
tcrial."
! Senator Harrison (Democrat,) Mis-
sissippi. asked IL the reserve board
had publicity men and Mr. Wanna.
maker replied that his impression
was that they have and that they
are well paid"
| Mr.. Wannamaker put into evidence
statements and bulletins which he
said the reserve board issued DURING
the last two years and which he said
clearly showed its purpoes to brine
about declining prices"
