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

Work for the best and the best will
rise up ^nd reward you.
Tenant farming is just one thing
after another without a pay day.
j Carl Weber's
Surpnse
By EDITH V. 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.
