Until comparatively recent times
the farming community has Dor
rowed some portion of its working
capital from other than banking
sources, such rs local stores and
implement houses that have car
ried him until the sale of the sea-
sons crop. OF recent years, how
ever, the banks have realized that
the promoting of agricultural pur-
suits is of equal importance with
the development of industrial AMI
commercial activities, and at the
present time the operating capital
used in agriculture is borrowed
from the banks direct. ana the
farmers bank is becoming "a
common institution.
The services which the banks
now perform in promoting the in
terests of agriculture are many
and varied. The savings banks,
through the accumulation of vast
amounts of deposits available for
loans, provide through the medium
of the mortgage, great amount of
fixed capital necessary for the pur-
chase of land, construction of
buildings and the acquisition of
equipment. The commercial banks,
as has been Indicated, provide the
working capital necessary for the
year to year production and move
ment of crops.
Modern banks have, readily ac
cessible to their customers, addi-
tional services-trust departments
to assist in building, managing
and administering estates; bond de
partments to furnish reliable in
formation and assist the investment
of surplus funds; savings depart.
ments to encourage and afford IA
cilities for systematic saving; safe
deposit departments. for protection
of valuables, as well as many other
smaller, but importan services.
The Pacific Southwest Trust 4
Savings Bank, provides all these
services, and through medium of its
extensive system is able to eX-
tend advice and reliable informa-
-tion concerning business, credit
and crop conditions to the entire
farming community.

- Review e.
BY w. L. @ ARRETT.
Cashier, Ell c entro ranch

Prior to the World War the
~farmer and his problems did not
receive such measure of construc-
tive thought as in these days. The
war brought him into the limelight
when ii was realized that ne had
us vital part in the victory as
that of the soldier at the front.
The world 10 had to be fed. Since
the war, the high cost of living
has shown that farming should not
only interest the farmer, since the
production and distribution of his
products concerns everyone.
So a great deal of attention has
lately been given to the problems
of the farmer, his needs and re.
quirements, and particularly the
credit facilities available for his
use.
The capital necessary for farm
ing operation is of two kinds, fixed
and working. Fixed capital con
sists of the investment in land,
buildings and equipment. Working
ton of the farms.
The fixed, or longterm credit re-
quirements are supplied by private
investors, by mortgage companies,
by insurance companies, by FEEDER
al Land Banks and Joint Stoci.
Land Banks, and by state and ma
tional banks. The Federal Farm
Loan System was organized to pro-
vide a means of raising fixed cap
ital for the operation of farms,
and while it supplies only small
per cent of the farmers total long
term requirements, il has been Il
great help in reaching growers
that could not easily obtain loans
through other institutions, in rails
ing the credit of standing of farm
borrowers, in reducing commissions
and large fees, and in lessening
and equalizing interest rates.
The working, or. short-term,
credit requirements of the farmers
necessary primarily for current
production needs and for carrying
crops pending orderly marketing,
are met from numerous sources,
principally commercial banks, eat
tie loan companies, private individ-
uals, implement manufacturers,

JOHNS PLANS TO

GO SADLY AWRY
Religious Haranguer Is
Taken to County
Hospital.

John s. Retr.eil' plans Tor re-
ligiouS revival mt the court house
Saturday morning, at which he
claimed the Lord was going to
marry penitent backslider, re-
ecived Il rude jolt this morning
when he was taken to the county
hospital by Y. \. Adams, superin-
tendent of the county farm, under
the impression that he was to
preach to many there who wish to
be saved.
Retnell first came to the notice
of the authorities several weeks ago
when he was picked up in Brawley
on criminal syndicalism charge
after he had been holding forth az
length on the necessity of joining
the l. w. W., whose membership
card he carried in his pocket. When
he arrived ut the jail, he was made
the subject of Il kangaroo court
conducted by the prisoners, who
sentenced him to lose his long
beard and hair, the prisoners shay
ing off his hirsute adornments. The
loss of his locks, seems to have af-
fected his mind as the loss of Sam

Permit Granted
for Stage Line

Confined from page y
form to the railroad act of l9l 4,
the various drivers granted Morgan
power of attorney TO act for them
aud petition the state railroad com
mission for franchise for them
to operate under the name Of Unit
ed Stages.
Much Litigation
1t is asserted he obtained the
franchise in the name of the United
Stages, Inc, Il corporation owned
bv himself and his brother, contrary
to the desires of the other stage
drivers, and since that time the
right of the United Stages and the
United Stages, Inc, to operate in
Imperial Valley has been the sub
icct Of numerous suits filed in the
superior court.
Recently Judge Conkling render
ed n decision stating the drivers,
Mcssrs. Ernstine, Willis and 1Iadlcy,
were entitled to operate the stages
in the territory they were working
in 1917, and it was because of this
decision that the United Stages
started operation last Saturday.
Mr.. Hill advised the council that his
company was readily allowed to
operate in and out of Imperial,
Brawlev and CaleNico, and that FL
Centre was the only city that de-
manded permit before the United
Stages would be allowed TO operate.
Opposition Statement
F. w. Thompson of Los. Angeles,
attorney for the United Stages, Inc,
set his company S side of the con
troversv before the council and
said the council should first satisfy
itself that the petitioners had Il
legal right to operate under the rail
road commission s rules and regula
lions before granting permit. He
denied the right of the petitioners
to operate, stating the railroad com
mission had decided the controversy
in favor of the United Stages, Inc,
and that Judge Conkling's decision
had been misintcrprcted by the
United Stages and it was not the
intention of the court to grant them
authority to operate.
He enumerated the investments
made in the valley towns by the

filed for each ear. The discussion
was entirely friendly throughout,
all parties deriving much merrimcnt
from confusion caused by the simi-
larity of names of the two compan-
les, necessitating frequent correc-
tions of statements made. Mr.. Hill
stated his company would file bonds
within a few days and start operat-
ing as soon thereafter as possible.

LURE OF SATSUMAS PROVES TOO MUCH
 FOR COL. HI. MOTION
Former Birmingham Realtor RenounceS City For Bald
 win Farms

Birmingham might throw it's far flung suburbs from the city hall to Florence, Tuscaloosa, Eufaula and Wetumpka. but Col. T. H. Motion. who helped build the city. would not care. He has other interests now. but is visiting here Thursday
 For nearly four decades MT. Motion was in the thick of the activity of building Birmingham, more than 30 years real estate man. but he got tired of the business fray, actually ill, for that matter, ill for a year, so he drew out of the whirlpool.
 Now he is a farmer; no, not a wealthy man who fools with some land. but an honest to goodness farmer, who gets up before sunrise and goes to bed at sunset, and all like that.
 Citrus frut and oceans are his chief crop mainly because you don't have to blow them. so his farm, or. in reality, his three farms are golden with fruit, when the fruit is ripe.
 After prolonged illness in 1920. when at times his life was dispaired of Mir. Notion was advised to seek a warmer climate than that of Bir- mingham, one where the air was salty and rolling breakers could be seen pounding al the coast, if one cared to take a short auto ride So he went to Baldwin county and bought a dwelling with five acres around 1t at Fairhope.
 Now the ex-real estate leader has three farms. 5, l5 and 40 acres re- spectively, with thousand pecan trees and hundreds of satsumas. Jap anese persimmons, figs and kum- quats. Some of the figs. he told friends in Birmingham Thursday. were as big as goose eggs, and when ripe. dead sweet.
 MT. Motion is not only in the thick of the fruit industry of southern Ala bama, but is entertaining nearly all the time. Hardly d week passes that his Fairhope home is not the scene of house party, swarming with friends of earlier and later days.

RAILROADS REAPING EARLY HARVEST FROM
 CITYS VACATIONISTS
With No Strikes And Money, Birmingham Citizens Plan
 Longer Trips

Well under way is the exodus of Birmingham folks on their summer vacations. Never was there such a sale of tickets, said the railroad agents Thursday. Even the years of the great aimless drift following the World war are put in the shade, for people seem to have plenty of money and are travelling greater distances.
 E. R. Vaughan. city passenger agent of the Illinois Central lines, says his office is booking most of Michigan. Wisconsin, the Pacific Coast and New England.
 Much of the improvement" said MT. Vaughan, lis due to the settled conditions in the railway world and the fact there are no strikes on this year. The people seem to have sub stantial incomes and are sure of them. With business good and unrest passing, the travel Of those seeking pleasure is far heavier than hereto fore.'
 In the consolidated ticket office and the independent offices the same story was told of general better ment and much travel.
 The beaches of the Gulf and South Atltantic coasts are not being neg lected. even though the lake country is drawing more heavily. The Isle of Palms and Sulliyan's Island near Charleston. Tybee near Savannah, Gulfport, Biloxi and the smaller beaches of the lower Alabama, Flor ida and Mississippi coasts are all get ting their regular customers and many of their friends, to say noth- ing of the newcomers.
 While the summer held off, busi- ness was light, but as it warmed up in June the movement became Volum- inous, the railroad men say.
 Steiner Brothers, who handle a heavy percentage of the transatlantic business, say frankly that 1922 was the heaviest year in their history for trips handled of those going abroad, but this summer is beginning to show a great increase and may pass the figures of last year, yet. The Mediter- ranean basin is getting the bulk of the visitors from this part of Ala bama to Europe

U. s. MARSHAL OFFICE TAXES OVER LIQUOR

United States Marshal T.

B. x A. railroad. being "wildcatted" through Alabama en route from St. Marys, Ga, to Chicago, III. consigned to the Star Lumber company.
 The liquor when found was hidden under covering layer of lumber and was immediately turned over to fed eral agents who stored the liquor in the basement of the federal building. Judge Charles M. Sartain proh- bition director of Alabama, made a request of United States district court for instructions in the dispos- ing of the whisky. and his action was followed by the filing of bill of libel against the whisky in the office of the court clerk by the dis trict attorney. The clerk immedi- ately issued a writ of seizure to the United States marshal, resulting in the marshals action Thursday. Tho liquor will be held until June 30. when a general order will be issued by the district court in reference to final disposition.
