BANKERS URGED TO . CO OPERATE WITH FARMERS ?A<ll MATCDIAI UAC CKITPDCn OUUL nm I bnini. nnw t_ 1 a a.llw?r THE BANK VAULTS OF THE NATION. The Bank a Financial Power House to the Community. % ' """"" By Peter Radford. \ One of the greatest opportunities fn the business life "of the nation lies In practical co-operation of the country banks with the farm in building agriculture and the adventure is laden with greater possibilities than any ! , n forward movement now before the j American public. A few bankers have loaned money to farmers at a low rate of Interest, and ofttimes without compensation, to buy blooded livestock, build silos, fertilize the land, secure better seed, hold their products for a betetr mar*ket price, etc. The banker in contributing toward improving the grade .of livestock; the quality of the seed and the fertility of the soil, plants in the agricultural life of the community a fountain of profit, that, like Tennyson's brook", runs on and on forever. Community Progress a Bank Asset. The time was when money loaned on such a basis would severely test the sanity of the banker; such transactions would pain the directors like a blow in the face. A cashier who , t would dare to cast bread upon waters tl^at did not return buttered side up in time for annual dividends would have to give way to a more capable man. This does not necessarily mean that the bankers are getting any better / or that the milk of human klndnesss is being imbibed more freely by our financiers. It indicates that the bankers are setting wiser, becoming more able financiers and the banking industry more competent The vision of the builder is crowding out the spirit of the pawnbroker. A light has been turned on a new world of investment and no usurer ever received as large returns . on the investment as these progres. sive bankers, who made loans to uplift industiy. The bankers have always been liberal city builders, but they are,now building agriculture. A Dollar With a Soul. It is refreshing in this strenuous commercial life to find so many dollars with souls. When a dollar is ap\ proached to perform a task that does not directly yield the highest rate of Interest, we usually hear the rustle ? of the eagle's wings as it soars upward; when a dollar is requested to return at the option of the borrower, it usually appeals to the Goddess of Liberty for its contractural rights; when & dollar is asked to expand in volume to suit the requirements of industry, it usually talks solemnly of its redeemer, but soul material has , entered into the vaults of our banks and rate, time and volume have a v new basis of reckoning in so far as the ability of some of the bankers permit them to co-operate in promoting the business of farming. God Almighty's Noblemen. These bankers are God Almighty's noblemen. Heaven lent earth the spirit of these men and the angels will help them roll in place the cornerstones of empires. They are not philanthropists; they are wise bankers. The spirit of the buildef has given them a new vision, and ^ wisdom has visited upon them business foresight. The cackle of the hen, the low of kine and the rustle of growing crops echo in every bank vault in the nation and the shrewd banker knows that he can more effectively increase his deposits by putting blue blood in the veins of livestock; quality in th9 yield of the soil and value Into agricultural products, than by business handshakes, overdrafts and .Tgaudy calendars. | Taking the community into partnership with the bank, opening up a (ledger account with progress, making thrift and enterprise stockholders and (the prosperity of the country an asset to the bank, put behind it stability far more desirable than a 'letterhead bearing the names of all i the distinguished citizens of the community. The bank is the financial power house of the community and blessed is the locality that has an . up-to-date Banker. POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS It is a sad day for Christianity when the church bells call the communicants together for a political prayer meeting. Such gatherings mark the high tide of religious political fanaticism, put bitterness into the lives of men; fan the flames of class hatred and destroy Christian influence in the community. The spirit actuating such meetings is anarchistic, un-Christlike and dangerous to both church and state. The success of the nation is in the v.. formnr ptuiuo VI lUQ KUUlbt.

ROSS Wlieu the great European war brok? out Carl Weber, whose father was a baker in Berlin, being a member of the reserve, was given ten days to pre pare to leave for the front. The reason of his having been given so long a time when there was such a hurry for troops was that the unmarried members of his corps were recommended to take wives before going to the war in order that the depletion of men consequent upon the dangers of the service might be balanced by n crop of children. Carl chose for a partner for life?or ! more likely for death?Gretchen. the daughter of Hans Kopp, who kept a grocery store next door tu ihe bakery, llans was twenty years old; Gretchen was seventeen. There was no time for courting?indeed, no time for either groom or bride to deliberate on the subject. Carl's father made the proposition to Uretchen's father that the youngsters be married, and since both men considered that the marriage was a duty to the fatherland a marriage it must be. Neither Carl nor Gretchen was averse to a marriage. Being young they did not consider the fact that the young husband would probably be killed or die of disease. A great many soldiers who go to war return. Why not Carl? So they were married and passed a week's honeymoon together, which slid away very quickly, and Carl was obliged to tear himself from his bride to be entrained for Belgium. The last he saw of his wife she was standing on the sidewalk weeping. Then for the first time Carl realized what it all meant It was terribly serious. The first mowing down of men by modern machinery had taken place, and the death toll was terriblA On the way to the front he met trainloads of wounded, and the sight sickened him. What a change in every way had come over him! *A fortnight before he had not thought of either war or marriage. Now he was deep in both. How he wished he could return, take his weepi lng wife in his arms and remain with her forever! But. no; very likely he | would never see her again, while she? what would become of her? Would she weep for him throughout eternity? We are prone to picture those loved ones from whom we are separated as we last saw them. Carl throughout his army service never thought of Gretchen but that she was standing on the sidewalk looking after him through her tears. Carl escaped death, but after awhile was severely wounded. He was taken to the rear and placed In a hospital. There he lingered for a long while and at last began to mend. He was able to be aboift long before he was fit to return to the front, so he was permitted to go home for the rest of the period necessary for him to be prepared to go forth to be shot at again. Carl wrote to his parents and his wife that he would be at "Some on a certain day. He did not like to surprise her, for he feared that the Joy of meeting him suddenly might have a deleterious effect up|to her. The day he arrived his fatheVmet him at the station, embraced him, kissing him on both cheeks, then led the way to his delivery wagon, which was waiting, for Carl was not equal to walking home. Now, it so happened that the stork visited the house with a ten pound boy the very day of Carl's arrival, indeed, the little fellow was just fifty-five minutes old when the train bearing his father rolled into the station. It had been arranged that Carl should be kept in ignorance of the fact till the last possible moment in order that he might have a pleasant surprise. Gretchen had continued to live with her parents, j and his father was to take him home and await notice Just when he might be introduced to his wife and child. The idea of beipg a father had never entered the young soldier's head. For months he had remembered his wife in tears, and he was possessed with one idea?to get home and dry those tears. When his father drove up before the bakerv over which he lived he suggested to Carl to go in and meet his mother before meeting his wife. Respect for parents is so strong in Germany that Carl consented, but after giving the old woman a hasty kiss he broke away and hobbled to the next bouse to see his wife. Finding no one in the shop below, he pulled himself upstairs by means of a ballister and tried to open the door. It was locked. He tried the doors to the other chambers and found- them all open, but no one was in any of the rooms. Carl began to be frightened. He had asked his father innumerable questions about Gretchen, and the old man had seemed noncommittal. He rapped at the door of his wife's room again, then listened. He heard a hoarse sound as if a deaf mute was trying to speak. He knocked again and heard a man's voice say, "You may come in in about ten minutes." Great heavens! A man in his wife's bedroom, telling him when he might come in. Surely something frightful had happened. Weak as he was, he paced the hall like a caged tiger; then suddenly the door was thrown open, j and there, lying in bed, was Gretchen. on her arm taking his first breakfast a baby boy, and. instead of tears coursing down her cheeks, on her lips was the happiest smile that had ever been there. The doctor and the grandmother retired and left the family alone together. ' ' / HUMAV U^iu j patronage. Whether your business is small or large we will give it our undivided attention. F. K.
