SEATTLE, WASH, Oct. TO-
Doubt as to the fate of the Alaska
steamship company's motor ship,
the Kennecott, aground on the rocks
of one of the Queen Charlotte
group, was felt in local shipping
circles this morning with the report
from the steamship Cordova that
she had been unable to find trace
of the missing vessel. The revenue
cutter Unalga was also patrolling
the island coasts in search of the
Kennecott.

ENDANGERlNG
THE FARMER

1t occurs to US the continued and
persistent clamor that is being set up
relative to the farmers being broke is
not without its harmful effect on the
farming industry of the country.
What other industry in the United
States could survive and regain its
prosperity under similar conditions :!
When you remember that great vol
ume of the business of the country is
done on credit based on the solvency
of the company or the individual it
will probably occur to you that when
that credit is jeopardized by persist
ent rumors of insolvency it must in
the very nature of things be hurtful.
The farmer must look to the local
banks for support and credit IN times
of financial stress and adversely. The
local banker in turn must look to the
city or larger banking institutions for
a line of credit with which to finance
the farmer If it becomes an accept
ed fact that the farmer is "broke," is
it not right to suppose that the big
banks and financial interests are at
least skeptical of the security he has
to offer for his needed loans and the
demand made that the local banker
must lend the farmer less money and
charge higher rate of interest for it
In other words. the farmer, who un-
der normal conditions of prosperity,
can secure loans up to fifty per cent
of his collateral, doubtless finds in
times like these, when that collateral
is being impaired. that he can secure
a loan for only from 90 to 80 per cent
of his normal collateral and that he
must meet added restrictions at addi-
tional costs, and in most instances pay
the highest rates the law permits and
with the most onerous terms for re-
payment. This is not the fault of the
local banker. but in accordance with
the terms imposed upon him by the
city or big bankers who supply the
money and who are governed in their
rates and requirements by the mark
ct Quotations" on the value of the
borrowers assets.
Too much agitation and too much
stress on the "ruined condition" of
the farmers of the country is bound
to be hurtful to this industry and only
adds to the burden this great army of
producers is forced to bear by reason
of the present conditions. The farm
ing industry is in fact the most SOL
vent of all of Americas great indus
tries. Its collateral is the best in the
world but investments in land and in
land securities cannot be expected so
long as there is general impression
the farming industry is ruined and
the farmers broke.
Let US strive for a more cheerful
and helpful condition as regards the
farming industry-it will pay US to do
so.

CREDIT WHERE
1T IS DUE

If the average Julesburg woman
was without a sense of the value of
money the men folks would have a
good deal less in bank than they can
now boast. 1t is only fair to give
the housewives of this country til e
credit that is due them, and it is GER
tainly due them to say that the aver
age woman is economical. Many
dollar lying in the bank and drawing
interest is there because some house
wife refused to agree with her hus-
band that they We're able to spend it
for luxury.
The average man is a much swift
er spender than the average woman.
and he would buy, very often, beyond
his ability to pay We're it not for the
fact that woman generally breads
debt.
Go into any store in Julesburg and
note with what care the woman who
happens to be purchasing something
is using in selecting it. Notice how
anxious she is to get full value for
her money. Do this not once, but a
dozen times and you'll soon conclude
that when it comes to driving a bar
gain and actually saving money we
have to take off our hats to the wo
men. The man of the family usual
ly thinks he knows what he wants be-
forehand, and unless the price is away
out of reason ne takes the article
without question, and without regard
to its quality
We don't believe there ever was a
word of truth in the old statement
that "two can live as cheaply as one."
But we've seen enough of care used
by women shoppers to warrant the be-
lief that when it comes to saving
money the fair sex make the men
folks look like amateurs.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1923-11-08

Yet it recognizes that the United
States must take its fair share in eff
forts to harmonic the world. A coun-
try that won't cooperate with others
is much like merchant who refuses
to join the Board of Trade or Cham
Der of Commerce of his home town.
The nations must work together, just
as the business men unite in city.
Secretary Hughes, in his recent re-
ply to the British government regard
ing the reparations controversy, has
come as near the golden mean in this
controversy as any human being could.
He has made it clear that the United
States is willing to confer and plan
and make suggestions, and secure the
best expert opinion as to what should
be done TO straighten out the awful
mess into which Europe has fallen.
At the same time, he has made it
clear that ~tie fundamental trouble ov-
er across the water, as Mr.. Hughes
remarks, is the lack of unity of
thought" on the part Of those powers.
Nothing this country can do will pull
those powers out of their morass until
they are willing to make compromises
for the sake of such unity of pur-
pose.
In view of the generous willingness
to cooperate with Europe thus man.
ifested by the president and his cabi-
net the foolish talk of Democratic ora
tors and newspapers that the Republi-
can administration holds this country
in state of isolation from world
problems, is too absurd a claim to
make any impression on the intelli-
gent voters.

COUNTRY TOWN
ACTIVITIES

The future of country town life de-
pends upon the type of young people
who are induced to settle in the rural
communities. If most of the bright
young people for the next ten years
shall HE themselves off to the cities,
then country town life will lag.
If you can persuade fair proper
ton of clever and capable young folks
to remain in the country, rural insti-
tutions are going ahead at a far more
rapid rate than ever before. Scien-
tific knowledge and modern equipment
and community spirit place great op-
portunities in the way of rural COM
munity, if it only has the leadership
to help it move on.
One Of the most hopeful things done
to induce brainy young people to re-
main IN the country, has been the
movement to form boys and girls clubs
to carry on agricultural production
and home enterprises. The boy who
Is working in some activity like pig
or corn club, the girl who has Join
ed garden or canning club, has
been given an incentive for ambition.
If that boy had lived twenty years
ago, no such incentive would probably
have been offered him. His father
might keep him on the farm through
the pressure of family authority until
he was Of age. But he might be
dreaming all the time about making
his fortune in some distant city, and
when he was his own master, he would
be likely to follow the path of hi s
dreams.
When you get these young folks to
join a club which is competing for
success In some form of rural indus
try, you have given them some wor-
thy aim that they can pursue in their
country life. Much of the attention
that would otherwise be given to Wis
ionary dreaming, goes into good work
and the boy or girl is started on the
path to successful country life.

GOOD
STATESMANSHIP

The United States does not want to
get mixed up in the purely local quar-
rels of the old world. 1t regards these
disputes as due to the narrow pre-
JUDGES and antagonisms of mixture
of races and languages. 1t does not
feel responsible for these historic
quarrels, and it wants those people to
settle their own issues.
