Cream Checks

quotes a story taken from the
iBanker-Farmer, showing how a
bankrupt farmer was pulled out
OF his troubles by cream checks.
1t IS an illustration of what MANY
a Southern banker is doing, saws
the Manufacturers Record. But
read the story:
A man came into Nebraska
bank in the spring Of 1922 and
asked for financial assistance
as Statement prepared in the
Service Department showed he
was about bankrupt; that he
owed $4,000 more than his eouip-
ment was worth. He had a farm.
rented for the year. Further
credit had been refused him in
his own bank and he was about
ready to quit and apply the
proceeds from the sale of his
equipment to his debts.
The banks service man went
with him to his farm, and after
examination decided that if the
farmer had a half dozen cows
and ten brood sows he would
probably be able to use his pas
ture and intended corn crop to
advantage. The bank finally loan
ed him $1,000 for this purpose
and took a chattel mortgage on
th2 stock purchased as its Sc
nT1rTfU Thn h01,A~ I,,,1
ordinarily a loan should not be
made like that, but the farm was
close to town and the stock
could readily be resold.
When the end of the year
came around the exact records
showed that the family had seen
well maintained and on haif Of
the cream checks; the Other half
had been applied on his $500
note at the bank, covering the
loan for the cows. Five days
before the year was up the prin-
cipal and interest on the note
w@re entirely paid by cream
checks. The pigs afforded a net
gain of $1400, after all expens-
es were paid.
In addition to this financial
gain, the farmer was taught the
value of a good COW and the
necessity of keeping a record of
his operations to know which
farm operations are profitable.
The Farm Service Department
of the bank was able to teach
this man things he had never
dreamed about. 1t is worth the
effort the banks would be called
upon to make if each bank could
but turn one broken, discourage
ed farmer into a prosperous one.
Undoubtedly the Sumter
county farmer can do with cows
and hogs just as we'll as the Ne
braska farmer Americas
creamery now gives our farmers
a daily cash market for all the
cream they viii produce The

most monthly give the farmer a
cash market for his hogs. There

The most important angle of this
boy sIayers' case in Chicago is that
the decision will establish a prece-

DEATH
There is no death-only change.
All religions agree on this, And mil
lions believe that the life spark
itself does not perish - that it
merely passes into some other mani
festation of life, the same as electric
current flows through wires.
How long can the life germ, or
whatever you care to call it, sur,
vive? Wheat, found in tbs shriveled
hands of an ancient Egyptian
mummy, has been planted in mod
ern times and sprouted into maturi
ty after its thousands of years of
sleep. And now, in Ottawa, Canada.

 When the redoubtable Doug chambers up rope that is poised in thin air with no apparent sup port one begins to take notice then he dives to the bottom of the water, kills an undcrsea monster, and when his sub-oceanic business is finished, he calmly propels him self to the surface.

 Later in the picture, the Thief climbs flight of thousand steps that leads to the clouds and mounts a beautiful winged horse that grace fully flies away with Doug on his back.
