CHICAGO WILL
AID DUNES PARK
State Line to Be Disregard
ed in Development.

Chicago business men are showing
a decided disposition to a disregard
the Indiana State line, and are
much. interested in cooperating
with this State in the development
of the Dunes State park. on the
shore Of Lake Michigan, according
to Richard IIieber, director of the
Indiana Conservation Department.
Lieber, who has just returned here
from conference with Chicago cap
italists at Gary last week, declared
that he had presented the problem
Of development of the Dunes to the
group purely as a business matter,
which would benefit both Chicago
and Indiana.
Chicago citizens will benefit more,
probably, by the Dunes park devel-
opment than will citizens of Indi-
ana" Lieber said. "In fact the park
is almost suburb of the Illinois
capital.
81 presented the proposition pure
ly as a business matter and as an
asset to Chicago"
Lieber declared $1,000,000 would
be necessary to complete the park,
and added that 10000 visitors were
registered there this summer.

This company has made sur vey for some of the largest fairs in the country. and its achievement is well illustrated by the permanent structure at the Eastern States Expo sition in Springfield. for which the General Organization Company has completed two campaigns.

WALL STREET AND THE FARMER

The relationship between agrieul. ture and the securities investment business. the dependence of one upon the other. Is discussed by E. H. II Simmons. President of the New York Stock Exchange. in an article in NatiOR's BHsincss Mdgdzine.
 Mir. Simmons declares that "un- occasionally the farmer is the greatest producer of wealth u the world More over, since We must all eat or perish, his product is the most essential form of wealth that exists. Our periods of national prosperity have generally been inaugurated on the American farm. The farmer quickly shares his good fortune with the city dweller by purchasing liberallY of the latter B goods Agricultural prosperity. there fore regularly leads to industrial and financial prosperity, and conversely, agricultural depression is quickly felt in our shops. banks and stock ex- changes. In few lines of city enter prise does agricultural depression become more speedily or more kecnly apparent than in finance. When the American farmer is in serious diff culties the earnings and industrial curity prices fall. Credit shrinks,
 But this relationship is not wholly onesided The farmer, too. has bene- fited in many important ways from the organization and growth of the coun- try's financial markets, particularly those of New York. Only by the at traction of funds in small amounts from all over the country into large reservoirs of capital has it been possi- ble to construct railways for the ship ment to market of the American farmers produce. The same machine ry also lends money to foreign na- ton with which to buy wheat, cotton and other agricultural products of ours and perform other related services.
 The more modern finance can sne- ceed in ayerting unemployment in the cities and in raising the standard of living of the townfolk by installing quantity production and labor-saying machinery, the more agricultural pro ducts can be sold
