Nobody knows this any i hotter than that suave and oily gen ! tleman, the "bunco man." The farm- j | err' prosperity has made him a shin} tag mark in these gentry. The fake (security man, the stock company pror moter and the wily sharper are ! mighty busy persons just now and a I great many of them are "working the j country/ 'and working it hard. ? Do you recall the "miracle wheat" j proposition of a few years ago? Mayj be not by that name, for it had a j good many names. One of its aliases ' was 'Jerusalem wheat" Another was > j ""Egyptian wheat." However, the i name doesn't matter much for it was j all the same thing. Most farmers will j recall it, anyway. . ' When the farmers would not fall ffor the story any other way they were j told that. if they would give $10 or maybe $20 a bushel for the seed they ! could tell tne wnoie nary est imuh m : I the fa!1 for the same price per bushel f that the/ paid for the seed, f t* course, some people bought and ' paid for the seed. And the/ went J ahead and sowed it and waited a year [fall of trustfulness but the sharper [who was to take the crop off their I hands failed to show up. They found [that they had a very poor grade of f wheat, anyway, and it dawned upon I them that they had been stung and . [stung hard and deep. . Sight now a good many farmers are being offered all sorts of inreetmeats, oil stocks and plantation stocks and a whole lot of other stocks. -| Seme of these are offered in exchange !. for War Barings Stamps and Liberty | Bonds. Some of them, too, are just t about on a par with the "miracle \ 7 [ wheat" that came from Egypt or Pal[estine. It will pay about such diri; dends. It is likely not to pay a cent < one way or another. In a few years , > tt will be raluable only as waste ! taper. The same United State# gorern^ment that more than a year ago ^ promised the Amerioan farmer $2.26 | for his wheat, and is making good j erery day, is now offering the farmer [an inrestment that is just as safe as 'the wheat that he grew on bis farm [this year after R is stored in his j granary. { New Treasury Baring Certificates, ' - * * familftr j SVpiy & aweiupmcub v& mu , War Savings Stamps, can be had. 1 These certificates are offered In de! nominations of $100 and $1,000 on the Identical terms of the War Savings Stamps.

No group of men in the. United States measured up to the test of the great war more admirably than did the bankers. The success of the Unit* ed States Treasury Departmont in floating over $21,000,000,000 in Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes during the last two years was due in no small measure to the patriotic co-operation of the banks. They took a most aotiye part in each of the loan campaigns. They subscribed generously fof themselves, made loans to their cuetomers in order that they might buy bonds, and sold bonds on installments to accommodate those having small savingi. In other words, the banks did everything possible to promote the sale and distribution of government securities. The banker can render an equally great service in reconstruction by cooperating with the government in its movement to teach the people of the United States the lessons of sound finance and wise investment In pro* moting this cause the banker will aid his inntitution and the financial situation in general at the same time. . Now that the war is over the people should be impressed with the wio* dom of holding their government socurl tie g and also of purchasing more, from time to time. The more generally the people of the United States absorb government securities cat greater will bs tht ability of the eon* merciel banks to devote practically all of tbalr rasouroas t% furnishing adequate eredit to tha oommarca and induct? of tha country. Providing short-time credit to ootzk> mere# and industry is their normal peace-time function. Tha sale and movement of farm crops, manufactured [products and other commodities, as well as the continuous and efficient employment of labor, in fact, the whole industrial process will be promoted by permitting the commercial banks to devote all their resources to this function. The people of the United States should, therefore, be encouraged to pay olf their installments and borrowings cm bond collateral as rapidly as possible, and also to ptrrch&se additional government securities as issued from time to time or in the market. If this is done the people of fids country will be benefitted in a twofold way. They will free material and labor for the production of commodities which are now so desperately needed the world over. At the seme time they will be strengthening themselves financially. " HOW THEY GROW I Plant a crop. Nothing tiappn, Nothing that one ?an in. B? patient. The seed spronta.
