Ranch and Rance
BANK OFFERS To LEND
$4,000 on DAIRY COWS
Farmers in Holyske Section Are
Shown Path that Leads TO Diyersi-
fcaiion and Prosperity.

Fifty thousand dollars TO loan on

vertises in the home paper its willing
ness 20 back the milking farmer TO

ing diversified farming a reality rath-
er than oonfning it, backing TO better
agriculture suggestions and advice.
The advertisement shows tha, the
bank Is willing 10 20 stronger than
mere moral support
Our idea is that il Is better TO fur
nish our customers cows so that they
can make their living expenses, rather
than 20 loan 20 them every few
weeks for expenses. We feel that i,
Is better for the bank and much bet
ter for the farmer, for it gives us
security for the extra money loaned
them and the farmer has the COWS
left in the fall Of the year"
This is the statement Of John s.
Fletcher, vice president of the bank.
He explained the plan further as fol-
lows:
"Our Citizens Dairy Savings Plan,
a well call il, was inaugurated for
the benefit of farmers in need of fin
aHcing who had no security TO offer.
The plan is for the farmer to paw
down $40 Of the purchase price Of
each COW and we to furnish the bal
ance. We loan them the full amount
of the purchase price of the COW or
cows and place the ten dollars. less the
expense Of chattel mortgage, etc, TO
their credit in a savings account on
tTrh hf-E rfan al 49, -
ings interest
The customer must deposit in this
savings account $500 for each COW
purchased each and every week. until
the account reaches an amount suf-
ficient TO pay the note. We also hold
the savings account as additional Sc
curity. This plan is good for two
reasons; one Is TO increase the size
Of the herd Of milk cows and the
other reason is TO teach them to put
away small amount weekly TO meet
obligations"
Mr.. Fletcher states that the farm
erS who have taken advantage of the
plan like il very much. II gives them
a chance for steady income to meet
living expenses, provides source Of
fertility for the soil, a means Of
utilizing the feed grown on the farm,
and starts them on the road to n
regular crop rotation and permanence
in their operations.
Those who have taken advantage Of
the banks liberal plan for increasing
their dairy herds, or who have made
a start in dairying. are enthusiastic
over il. II shows them safe way
Of farming as contrasted with the
growing of grain for market. The
dairy COW pays for herself in short
time, and there is never lack OF
market for her products.

Montrose Creamery Co.
When Wilson Licked the
Bankers to a FraZZle
FRIGID NOTE SENT TO FINAN.
CIERS SEEKING INTERVIEW
WITH PRESIDENT

During the iong-drawn-out fight for
currency reform in the Senate in 1918.
a few of the most influential bankers
Of the country arrived in Washington.
No announcement Of their arrival was
made, and they found quarters at the
Army and Navy Club. Senators and
others called for conferences. Why
were these magnates at the Army and
Navy Club? That question puzzled
young naval officer. He casually
mentioned their presence to a member
Of the Wilson administration holding
an important position. The names Of
all the visitors were reported to the
White House. Soon the big men, ac-
customed to dictate national financial
policies saw that in Wilson they had
measured swords with the victor in
the contest-the contest to determine
whether the government or private
financiers should rule. Sensing de-
feat, and hoping to secure some
change in the measure, they requested
conference with the president. It
was declined. He sent them a studi-
ously polite and frigid reply that he
knew of their futile efforts TO defeat
the measure, that he had the fight won
and did not care to discuss the meas
ure with them. II was rather in more
crisp language. Perhaps the words
were curt. They meant: "You tried to
lick me. have licked you to a fraz-.
zle and will accept nothing but COM
plete victory"
Read the story Of this epoch-making
measure in detail in Josephus Daniels
Life of Woodrow Wilson," published
by the John c. Winston Co.
This is the book we are offering in
another column, at $3.50; or, with
Champion in advance. only $500.

MEXICAN CONSULATES
CLOSED IN BRITAIN
SeDers All Commercial Re-
Latio1s to England.

Mexico City.-The most transcen-
dental step in Mexicon diplomacy was
taken when the foreign affairs de-
partment ordered the closing of the
Mexican consulates in London, Liver
pool, and Glasgow, as well as all the
honorary consular offices throughout
Great Britain. This step means the
complete suppression Of commercial
relations with Great Britain.
"'The decision to recall the Mexican
consuls in Great Britain" said For
eign Minister Saenz, "does not imply
desire on the part of Mexico to
show hostility toward Great Britain,
but obeys sentiment and decorum, we
believing it is unworthy of us to main
tain consular representatives under a
government which does not concede
Mexico the honor Of maintaining Of
fetal relations, thus implying that it
does not consider Mexico has the
moral and legal capacity inherent to
sovereign countries
According to Senior Saenz, British
consuls in Mexico will continue to
have the same guarantees as hereto
fore, should Great Britain not recall
them.

JEALOUS SPOUSE
SHOOTS emery
Ex-Legion Chief Wounded
by Husband of His
Stenographer.

Grand Rapids, Mlch.-With the
words: 'You broke up my home" on
his lips, Chedell Simpson, forty-four
years old, fired a bullet into the left
shoulder of Col. John G. Emery, vet
eran OF Cantigny, the Argonne and st.
Mihiel and former national commander
of the American legion. The shooting
was in EMERY real estate office, where
Simpsons twenty -six-year-old wife is
employed as a stenographer.
Colonel Emery is at local hos
pital recuperating from his wound and
Simpson, against whom Mrs. Simpson
recently filed suit for divorce, is in
cell charged with assault with intent
to kill.
Colonel Emery, who is forty-three
years old and married, could give no
reason why Simpson singled him out
as the cause Of his domestic troubles.
Mrs. Simpson had told me she had
filed suit for divorce" Colonel Emery
said. "This morning she came to me
and said her husband had come to
the Office again in very intoxicated
condition and that she was afraid of
him.
II walked into the outer office where
Simpson stood and asked him what he
wanted. When I refused to permit him
to enter my private office, where Mrs.
Simpson had remained, he pulled a
gun, leveled it at me and shouted:
You're a dirty dog, and everybody
knows it. You're trying to break up
my homer"
Simpson, according to Emery's story,
fired two shots, the first hitting Emery
in the left arm and blowing through
the flesh to the shoulder, where it
stopped. The second shot went wild.
Other persons in the Office grabbed
Simpson then as he aimed at Emery's
heart.
Cruelty and nonsupport are charged
against Simpson by his wife in her
divorce bill
Colonel Emery served as legion COM
mander less than year, assuming Of
fee shortly after Colonel Galbraith
was killed in an automobile accident.
He has been active for several years
in local welfare and civic affairs and
upon terminating his services as legion
commander he ran for the Republican
United States senatorial nomination,
but was defeated.

FOREIGN RELIEF
POLICY TO STAND
President in Address at
Washington Says "Aid Eu-
rope to Aid Herself"

Washington-"Th hope and aim Of
America is to help Europe to help It
SELF" President Coolidge declared in
an address devoted to international re-
lations at Golden Rule dinner of the
Near East Relief association.
Speaking before an audience which
included many members of the diplo-
matte corps, Mr.. Coolidge outlined at
some length the attitude of the Wash
ington government in foreign affairs,
which he declared followed the Golden
Rule.
Europe does not want our benevo-
lence," the President said. ut does
want our help, and we are ready to
give 1t. America wants the peace of
good will and of the Golden Rule, not
the peace of force imposed by those
who have power. It wants peace as
the normal, the right, the assured es-
tate in a world from which wiser
generation shall have forever outlawed
aggressive war;
Recalling that this country had ex-
pended millions in charitable relief,
Mr.. Coolidge called attention that it
also had extended to other govern
ments loans and credits (which they
are beginning to repay" There is a
moral obligation" to make such re-
payments, he added.
The President took occasion also to
restate that while this government had
given it's general appreciation to nu-
merous loans made by it's private citt-
zens in aiding the refinancing of Euro
pean countries, the loans were made
without the assumption of any obli-
cation whatever by our government"
American relief during the famine
periods in Russia had prevented, he
declared, the spread of bolshevism
over large proportion of Europe.
But for this relief, he added, civiliza-
ton, (which has been set back a gen.
GRAFTON in Russia, would have had the
Same setback over a half score of
other countries. Peace would have
been impossible"
1--WE disapprove Of the Russian gov
ernment," he declared, "but America
has held humanity higher than inter
national laws"
"We might have taken the attitude"
he continued, that we had completed
our obligation to, Europe the day the
armistice was signed. But the object
of America in the war was greater
than military victory. 1t was the
maintenance of human institutions re-
establishment of orderly government,
and preservation of civilization itself
in Europe.
America is profoundly concerned
in behalf of whatever promises to
make the world better neighborhood
and its peoples better neighbors. We
have no better wish than to be good
and helpful neighbors with ALL

The action had been brought before
the court by Sam Michaelson, ct al,
