EVEN ISOLATED FARMS
MAY HAVE ELECTRICITY

Electrical engineers declare that no
home. no matter how far removed
from cities. need be without tho
CHEEKY brightness and the decorative
charm OF electric lights. In all places
where a public utility lighting and
power company has its lines of trans
mission wires. the house simply needs
to be properly wired.
Farm houses that are Isolated are
In many places installing their own
electric light and power plants. These
are entirely self contained. A small
gasoline engine furnishes power for an
electric generator which produces the
electric energy not only for lighting
the house. but for running a pump for
the water system and power for many
Of the farm machines.
These farm light and power sets r
so comparatively simple that cases
are ON record OF where have
run them and taken care OF them
without assistance
BY means OF these. electricity can
be brought into any home that is out
of reach OF the lines OF the electric
light and power companies.

They All Read The

When it comes to having what
folks want to read, hats off to the
Cody Enterprise. While we may not
agree with the owner and editress
on lots of questions, andSyet we adj
mire the paper and like to read it.
When Caroline Lockhart thinks a
thing she has the copper lined nerve
to say what she means, leaving no
doubt at any time as to where she
stands. Antiquities are in no sense
a part or parcel of the Enterprises
makeup. Her sheet is replete with
humor, biting sarcasm and profound
knowledge of the questions of the
day. When you print a newspaper
tits my opinion that you must needs
give your patrons what they pay for
if you would make it successful.
Along this line, it occurs to us that
The Enterprise will measure up ia
vorably with most weeklies. We
don't like some things it advocates
and yet find the paper very interest
ing and as evidence of our sincerity
in the matter, have mailed a check

USE BEEF AND BEER
FOR HAPPY OLD AGE
Testimony of British Women Past
The Century.
New York Herald Bureau,

~ oih 80 1aANstt
London, June 2.
Mrs. Elizabeth Watson of Dalston,
who has attained the age of 1902, as
cribes her longevity largely to a plain
fare of roast beef. Mrs. Watson has
no time for faddists who hold out
hopes of long life through rigorous
adherence to dietetic rules.
"There's nothing like the roast beef
of England" she said, asked for the
key of her viability.
Only a few days ago another cen
tenarian of Kent said roast beef and
beer were capable of producing a
happy old age. Such testimonials
have led n London daily to remark:
"Let those who condemn beef and
beer in moderation sit and learn at
the feet of these dear old ladies in
stead of trying to teach them to suck
eggs"

Some people think that to incur a
debt at the bank Is unwise. or a re-
Election on their business standing.
This is not the case where the debt
Is contracted for legitimate business
purposes. Incurring debt to live be-
yond ones income is something no
thrifty person would do. and careless
use of credit leads to extravaganza
and disaster. but wise borrowing is
an encouragement to thrift and In
dustry.
The first function of the banker is
to encourage industry and thrift so
that a large fund of bank deposits
may be accumulated. This fund is
often likened to a reservoir in whcih
water is accumulated for community
needs. The banker then loans from
this fund to those conducting the
business of the community.
The banker bases credit on what
are known as the three C's OF credit
Character, Capacity and Capital.
Character is an imperative business
qualification. Allied with character
is Capacity. Before making a loan a
banker takes into consideration the
capacity of the applicant-that is, his
ability to earn through his honesty
and his industry. Capital is a mans
worth in money, merchandise. stock
and bonds or lands. which nay be
given as collateral in security OF a
loan to make II safe.
Let us consider the business trans
actions OF Mr.. Smith. the storekeep-
err. He finds. with his business In
creasing. that he needs a larger ,tock
of goods. Also. some OF his custom
ers do not pay cash. and their &C
counts must be carried until pay
day" He must rave more money for
his business. so he o to his banker
for advice. The banker asks Mr..
Smith to submit a statement OF his
business, showing what he owns and
what he owes. He knows Smiths
character and responsibility from his
observation of his dealings and from
the confidence that people have In
him. II he inds Mr.. Smiths state
ment. and the progress he is making.
satisfactory he will be glad to con-
slider the best method OF loaning him
the needed finds.
How Money Is Loaned
Money Is loaned by banks on
straight notes. or Endorsed notes. on
collateral notes, on bills receivable
and on trade acceptances. Mr..
Smith may be told by the banker
that, because he has sufficient money
in his business and 1t well.
the bank will extend him credit with
out his putting up any security be-
yond his own word OF honor, evil
denced by his note.
Let us say that Mr.. Smith needs a
maximum amount Of SO, 500 during
his busiest season and hat the bank
has consented to grant him such a
cline OF credit" Mr.. Smith could
come to the bank n make out a
note for any portion {. all OF this
amount for any time up to six months.
To pay some bills he needs. say.
$500. He estimates that within sixty
DAYS he will receive from his charge
customers enough money to repay
this amount. He therefore makes a
sixty day note. which the banker
discounts" at the prevailing rate OF
interest, let us say 6 per cent. and
places the proceeds to Mr.. Smiths
credit. How much does he credit to
Mr.. Smiths account? Six per cent
on $500 for sixty days Is SIS. This
amount the banker deducts at the
time the note is made. It being the
Interest which he charges Mr.. Smith
, 1923-08-22

for the .se of the money. He then
credits Mr.. Smith with the proceeds
of the note. or s495, When the note
is due in sixty days Mr.. Smith has re-
ceived payment from his customers,
n he pays the bank $500. The
bank marks the note paid and returns
1t to Mr.. Smith.
II Mr.. Smiths business condition
were not sufficiently strong to war
rant granting him unsecured credit the
banker might say to Mr.. Smith, 81 want
to help you but you will have to get
he Endorsement Of your friend, Mr..
Jones'" Jones is known to the bank
er as a very reliable and responsible
business man. Should he be willing
to help Mr.. Smith he will write his
name on the back of lIr. Smiths note
and II Smith cannot pay the note
when due Mr.. Jones will have to pay.
In another case the banker. still
anxious to help Smith. Light say 81
am willing to loan o up to $4,000,
but you must secure the loan with the
goods which o purchase for that
amount and with some additional
goods" Mr.. Smith would have to
warehouse the merchandise used as
collateral in such a way that 1t might
be easily identified through ware
house receipts as being the banks
property until the note is paid. II
Smith finally found himself unable to
pay, the banker could sell the mer-
chandise and use the proceeds to pay
the note. II the goods brought more
than the amount Of the note the bank
would pay the excess to Mr.. Smith:
II the mount were not enough the
bank would look to Mr.. Smith to
make good the difference.
Mortgage Loans
Loans against farm lands. called
mortgage loans. are frequently made
in country districts. II Mr.. Smith.
lacking an indorser or sufficient col.
lateral or business standing. owned a
farm free of debt he might give q
mortgage on II as security.
The procedure would be somewhat
different from loaning against mer-
chandise. The law. realizing the use
full place farm and home owners oc-
cupy, protects them IL a special man.
ner. 1t says to the lender. in case OF
default on a mortgage loan. You
must give this owner OF land one
year after serving notils hat you ex-
pect to sell his land to pay the
mortgage and redeem the debt" This
is called the period of redemption.
Mr.. Smith has still another method
open to obtain funds from his banker.
He has sold. say. a $500 bill Of mer-
chandise to Mr.. Brown, a dealer in a
smaller community. who must sell
the goods to his own customers be-
fore he can pay Smith. Smith says to
Brown: IF you can't pay cash give
me a ninety day note. will discount
1t and get immediate cash on 1t from
my bank. ! will have to pay 6 per
cent interest 10 do SO, n I shall
want you to pay that interest" Mr..
Brown agrees and makes his ninety
day note for $500 with interest ut 9
per cent. Mr.. Smith takes this note
to the bank. which advances him
credit for $500. When the bank col
lects the note from Brown ninety
days later 1t receives s507.50. the
added $3.50 being the 6 per cent in
terest charge for the use meanwhile
of the money for the ninety day pc
Rod Of the note.
These are the various ways in
which the bank serves its community
by placing. through loans, the accu

PUZZLE OF why Debt HELPS SOME
BUT HARMS OTHERS EXPLAINED
How a Debt Can Be Put to Work to Increase Earnings
Thrift and Loans Go Hand in Hand to
Aid the Industrious.

The true use of debt in personal and business affairs
remains something of a puzzle to many people. To some the
very word debt signifies misfortune, while others merely fail
to understand the ways in which they can put a debt to work
for them to increase their earnings. The Committee on Public
Education of the American Bankers Association has under
taken in the following discussion of how and why banks loan
money to clear up these Observation-Disclosures:
