practically throughout the entire year. In such
cases the farmer may make a loan for a short time.
and repay it at the end OF that period. In the north.
west where grain farming still remains the principal
industry, there is but one crop maturing. and it is
from the proceeds Of that crop, coming once a year
only, that loan, if made, must be repaid. The ordi-
nary bank is not in a position to loan much money
on a years time, no matter how sound the security.
II it were to do SO, it would tie up the funds Of its
so that those funds would not be avail
able for the needs of the depositors and a general
embarrassment would ensue. 1t is not good policy
to divert the commercial bank from its proper func-
ton. There is need for a more systematic and
more general extension of credit to farmers who are
financially sound and able to meet their obligations.
That need can best be met by banks created for
that particular purpose or by specially organized
departments of existing banks which can operate in
this field without involving their ordinary CONNER
cial business. Just how that development is brought.
about is not entirely clear, but there seems to be no
room for doubt that there is 3 field for a special
class of banking quite separate from the general
banking business as now ordinarily conducted. The
need will not be met by tearing loose the banks of
the country from the safeguards with which they
are surrounded.

THE FARMER AND THE BANK.

In the very nature of things. the farmer can not
be served by the ordinary commercial bank in the
same manner and to the same degree that service
IS rendered to many people in other occupations.
, This is, not due to any antagonism toward the farm
er, put to the pecuiarltles Of his occupation as COM
spared with many other lines OF activity. The ordi-
nary bank is an institution created for the purpose
OF receiving and safeguarding the funds of individ-
uals throughout the community, and of loanine
those funds in such a manner and on such terms as
VIII keep the necessary proportion of the funds
easily available at all times so that the depositors,
as. they have need of money from time to time, NAV
obtain It without delay and without embarrassment
his can be achieved only by the loanine of money
for relatively short periods to those who are known
to be IN a position to repay the loans at maturity.
1he farmers needs are of a special character.
He may need money for the permanent improve
rnent OF his property, for the building of new barns
ments which will remain a part Of the property and
permanently enhance its value. These loans should
obviously be made only by those who are prepared
to invest their money for comparatively long per
1ods. The farmer who needs to make investments
OF TIPS character and who borrows money for that
purpose does not expect to repay the loan out Of
tins, az ilext.year's crop. The arrangement for paw
n1ent must IN some way be extended over a consid-
cradle period, and the ordinary commercial banks
AS absolutely debarred by the very nature Of it's es-
senlaI business from participating to any great ex-
tent in this form Of loans.
Farmers need money sometimes for tiding over

FINE BUSINESS.

The state administration has performed a
splendid service for the state in completing arrange
mellts whereby state hail warrants issued during
the past year will be purchased at a discount of only
2 per cent, the purchaser paying all costs OF print
ing, etc, attendant on the transfer. AS has been
stated before, holders Of these warrants have been
confronted with the necessity for holding the paper
until some time in the distant future when it would
be redeemed at par, and selling at discounts running
as high as 20 per cent. The arrangement just made
will mean money in the pockets Of those who need
it badly and who cannot afford to pay heavy dis
counts. a very useful and practical arrangement,
also, is that under which a portion of the warrants
will be purchased by a single individual at 3 percent
discount, this being for the purpose Of providing
funds to serve the needs until the purchase of the
larger block can be effected.
This saving is in itself important. OF even
greater importance to the state at large, although
not to the individuals most directly affected, is the
influence which this transaction will have on the
credit and the general morale of the state. The ele-
1lerlt Of sanity having been introduced into the man
agcment Of our state finances, responsible people
are taking account Of that fact. The states credit is
improving because the men in charge Of its affairs
are demonstrating that it IS their purpose to man
age its affairs in a b1siness-like manner.

Ralph Obenchain Defends His
Former Wife ON Trial.
Shows She Broke Engagement
in 1915.

Los Angeles. March S.-"Steady
Ralph Obenchain today took the wit
ness stand in behalf of his divorced
wife, Madalynne Cbenchain. Mrs.
Obenchain is on trial for alleged con-
spiracy to murder ]. Bolton Kennedy.
Obenchain followed a few minor
witnesses and launched into the telling
of his story aimed to damage the
prosecutions theory that Mrs. Oben-
chain was a woman scorned."l
Beginning with the day when in
1913 he first met Mrs. Obenchain at a
college fraternity dance, Obenchain
recited their love story which had its
dramatic climax in his dash to Los
Angeles to defend her after she di-
vorced him and when she was ar
rested for the murder of Kennedy.
Obenchain's story was a direct blow
at the prosecutions theory that Mrs.
Obenchain was a woman scorned."
He revealed during his testimony that
in 1915 his engagement to marry Mrs.
Obenchain, then Madalynne Donner
Conner, was broken for a period of
eight months.
Obenchain went on the stand after
the prosecution exploded a bombshell
by directly charging H. L. Carlton. a
defense witness. with having fired a.
shot at Kennedy, near Mrs. Oben-
chains apartment in 1918. Carlton
