CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The Chamber of Commerce held a
deferred meeting on the 18th and
finished much business that has been
in mind for some time.
The various committees reported and
satisfaction was expressed over the
fact that the new tower on Massa-
nutten Mountain is completed. AS
many as 100 visitors have been there
in one day. The matter of making the
road safe to the top for people I'M
accustomed to the road was discussed.
If Woodstock will make capital of this
viewing spot, and draw the attention
that our caverns do, we will not alone
treat our visitors to magnificent
view, but put Woodstock on the map
as well. In order to find name that
will attract attention to this point OF
interest, Mr.. Clover of Schmitt's Drug
Store, will offer fountain pen to the
party whose suggestion will be accept
ed by the board. Call it Fort, Mt,
ST., what you will, so that it may be as
widely known to the Valley Tourists,
as Blowing Rock is to Ashville, N. c.
Here's chance to write your name in
history. Like a towering embattle
ment, that shaft, pointing to the sky
will look down upon centuries of time
fit memorial for spot that was looked
upon by such men as Washington

The matter of longer telephone ser
vice was discussed. II is felt that oul
industries demand that We try to solve
this problem, and cope with other ends
of communica ton and transportation
The local managers are working in
spirit of cooperation and with eye
open to the demands of the modern
day, and we trust that the various in
dustries of the county may cooperate
and appreciate the necessities of thi
particular problem. The Chamber o
Commerce stands for a larger ant

sentiment will help to stimulate reas

Motor Safety Code

In Line with their safety cam.
paign, the Chicago Automobile
Dealers Association has issued
the following CODE of rules fol
pedestrians:
1. BE on the alert at all times.
2. Don't be in a hurry to cross
the street, Wait Until the road
is perfectly clear Of traffic.
8. Remember that it is better
to be a few minutes late than to
never arrive at all.
q. Don't cross the street in
the middle of the block.
5. Don't dart out from in
front or behind a car parked at
the curb.
6. Don't depend upon the
motorist to see that he does not
hit you. This is fifty-ffty
proposition. Don't "staigsze'
while crossing the streets.
7. Remember that you have
your share of responsibility in
the present safety campaign.
s. Also remember that tile
court does not always decide in
favor of the person injured. A
great many times his injuries are
due to nothing more than his
own carelessness.

why FARMERS SHOULD use BANKS.

Despite the fact that banks have
been recognized as among the safest
financial institutions of the country for
long number of years, there are still
many farmers in Virginia and the
South who do not do their business
through banks. A recent survey of
800 farms in three sections of North
Carolina established the following facts
regarding credit conditions in 1921 1:
/. More than half of all credit OBJ
tanned for current expenses was ad-
vanced by stores, and less than one
sixth by banks. Advances from land
lords to tenants was almost equal to
all short-term bank advances to farm
ers.
2. More than half of all credit OBJ
tanned for long-term purpose on land
mortgage security came from individ-
uals. Commercial banks furnished
not quite one-fifth.
3 The average rate of interest
charged for short-term advances from
banks was 6.3 per cent, as compared
with 26.6 per cent from stores. For
mortgage loans the rate from banks
was 6 per cent even, as compared
81 per cent charged by individuals.
4 Collateral was required for less
than per cent of the short-term ad-
vances made by banks, whereas more
than 40 per cent of the advances from
stores were fully secured.
From the foregoing it is evident that
farmers would profit by getting more
of their credit from banks and paying
their fertilizer and store bills with cash
if possible. The survey definitely
shows that collateral is required as
often by time merchants as by the
banks. This being the case, why pay
the time merchants 20 per cent more
than the banks charge? 1t is all right
for farmer to be philanthropist, but
the time merchant is not generally
considered an object of charity.
Both bankers and farmers can do
much to remedy this condition. If the
bankers will get out and mix more
with farmers and obtain first-hand
knowledge of prospective borrowers
they can get information which will
enable them better to know and meet
the farmers's needs. Information in
regard to mans moral integrity is
often preferred to collateral security
for loans. The farmers, on their part,
should show more friendly spirit
toward bankers. They should try TO |
learn the business mans viewpoint
and how to conduct business in al
business. like manner. One of the first
steps that the farmer can take to win
the bankers confidence is to grow
feed for his live stock and food for his
family. The average banker does not /
like to extend much credit to man
who puts all his dependence in one /
crop.
There can be no real prosperity in
your county until the right relations
are established between the farmers
and the bankers. If you are farmerI
and have no banking connections at
The present time you should not rest
until you have established
proper connection with some good
bank. II you are banker and don't
know that the progress of your bank
depends on the prosperity of the
armers it will be well for you to begin
