SOUL MATERIAL. HAS ENTERED
THE BANK VAULTS OF
THE NATION.
The Bank a Financial Power Home
to the Community.
By Peter Radford.
One of the greatest opportunities In
the business life of the nation lies
In practical co-operutlon of the coun
try banks with the farmer in building
apiculture and the adventure is laden
with greater possibilities than any
forward movement now before the
American public.
A few bankers have loaned money
to farmers at a low rale of Interest,
and ofttlmes 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 con
tributing toward improving the grade
of livestock; the quality of the seed
and (lie fertility of the soil, plants in
the agricultural life of the community
a fountain of proilt, that, like Tenny
son's brook, runs on anil on forever.
Community Progresi a Bank Asset.
The time was when money loaned
ou such a basis would severely lest
the sanity of the banker; such trans
actions would pain the directors like
a blow In the face. A cashier who
would dare to cast bread upon w aters
that did not return buttered aide up
In time lor annual dividends would
have to give way to a more capable
man. This does not necessarily ni. un
that the bankers are getting any better
or that tho milk of human klndnesss is
being Imbibed more freely by our finan
ciers. It indicates thai, the bankers are
getting wiser, becoming more able llu
anclers and the hanking Industry moje
competent. The vision of the builder Is
crowding out the spirit of the pawn
broker. A light has been turned on
a now world of investment and no
usurer ever received as large returns
on the investment as these progres
sive bankerH, who mode loans to
uplift Industry. The bankerB 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 lind so many dol
lars wilh souls. When a dollar Is ap
proached to perform a task that does
not directly yield tho highest rate of
Interest, we usually hear the rustle
of the eagle's wings as It soars up
ward; when a dollar is requested to
return at the option of the borrower,
it usually appeals to the tluddess of
Liberty Tor its coutiartural rights:
when a dollar Is asked to expand In
volume to suit the requirements of
Industry, it usually talks solemnly of
Its redeemer, but soul muterial has
entered Inlo the vaults of our bunks
and rale, time uud vuluiuo have a
new basis or reckumug In so tar as
the ability of some of the bankers
permit lliem to cooperate iu promot
ing the business of running.
Cod Almighty's Noblemen.
These bankers are Hod Almiguty'a
noblemen. Heaven lent eurlh the
spirit of these men and the angels
will help them roll In place the
cornerstones of empires. They are
uot philanthropists, they uro wise
bankers. Tho spirit of the builder
has given them a new vision, and
wisdom has visited upon them busi
ness foresight.
The cackle of the hen, Ihe low
of kino and the rustle of growing
crops echo iu every bank vault In the
nation and tho shrev.d banker knows
that bu cau inure effectively Increase
bis deposits by putting blue blood in
the veins of livestock; quality In
the yield of the soil und value Into
agricultural products, than by busi
ness handshakes, overdrafts and
gaudy calendars.
Taking the community into part
nership with the bank, opening tip a
ledger account with progress, making
rlft and enterprise stockholders and
the prosperity of tho country an
asset to the bank, put behind it
stability far more desirable than a
letterhead hearing the names of all
the distinguished citizens of the com
munity. The bank Is the tinanelal
power house of the community and
blessed Is the locality that has an
up (o dale hanker.
I POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS
! It Is a sud day for Christianity when
I the church bells call the communicant!
! together for a political prayer meet
! lug. Such gatherings mark the high
tide of religious political fanaticism,
i put bitterness Into the lives of men;
fan the flames of class hatred aud de
stroy 1'hrlstluti influence In the com
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings la anarchistic, un-Chrlstllka
aud dangerous to both church and
state.
The success of Ihe nation la la tu
bands of the fanner.
Work for the best and the beat will
rise up and reward you.
Tenant tanning Is Just one thing
alter another wilhout a pay day
Misfit kisses are ihe kind wo

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
Introductory
Through the Press Service of Agri
culture and Commerce, the master
minds or this nation will be Invited
to the public forum and asked to de
liver a message to clvllUatlou. Men
who achieve seldom talk, aud men
who talk seldom achieve There Is
no such thing as a noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a cluse companion
In truth.
It will he a great privilege to staud
by the sldo of men who can roll In
place the cornerstone of Industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of It, to commuuu with men who cau
hear the roar ol civilization a lew
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every mau who achieves,
"Cruelty him." Muuklud never has
aud probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
of Its day. There never will be a
crown without a croBS, progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out a challenge
This Is an age of service, and that
man Is greatest who serves the larg
est number The present generation
has done more to Improve the con
dition of mankind than any civiliza
tion since human motive! began their
upward flight. The Oreeks gave human
lite Inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues of
angels, her farmers were plowing
with forked sticks; while her phll-
osophers were emancipating human
Ihought from bondage, her tralllc
THE BEST LETTER.
You may write a thousand letters lo the maiden you adore,
And declare in every letter thai you love her more and more,
You may praise her grace and beauty in a thousand glow ing lines
And compare her eyes of aure w ith the brightest star thai shines
If you had the pen of liyron you w ould use it every day
In composing written worship to your sw eetheart far aw av;
Lint the letter lar more welcome to an older, gentle breast
Is the letter to your mother from ihe boy she liYves the best.
Youthful blood is tierce and (laming, w hen writing to your love
You will rave about your passion, swearing by the stars above;
Vowing by the moon's w hile splendor that the girlie you adore
Is the one you'll ever cherish as no maid was loved before.
You will pen full many promise on those pages white and dumb
That you never can live up to in the married years lo come.
But a much more precious letter, bringing more and deeper bliss,
Is the letter to your mother from the boy she cannot kiss.
She will read it very often when the lights are soft and low,
Sitting in the same old corner where she held you many years ago.
And regardless of its diction or its spelling or its style,
And although its composition would provoke a critic's smile,
In her old and trembling fingers it becomes a work of an,
Stained by tears of joy and sadness as she hugs it to heart.
Yes, the letter of all letters, look w herever you may roam,
Is the letter to your mother from her boy away from home.
A woman is more influenced by
what she suspects than by whai
she is told.

Several Siuics i:i America have !
mental anguish laws laws lhat i
make ii possible to sue a lelegraph j

company anvl claim thai you suller-;
j etl great menial anguish because a '

you can'i sue Uncle Sam if you
j fail to gei a letter conveying what
i the telegram would have conveyed
; had it been sent way. You can't
j sue a man who promises to pay
j tomorrow and who holds you in
S suspense for a week or a year,
j You can't sue a young lady who
! promises to take your proposal

I know sometime when she feels
j like it whether she will marry you
or not and yet the mental strain
j is great, You can't sue a mail
order house for failing io deliver
the chemically pure Saturday night
j although the mental strain over
Sunday is near about the bursting
point. You can't sue a milliner
for exhibiting a hundred dollar
bonnet in ihe window, although
the menial anguish of the man who
fears his wife might buy it and
have the bill sent lo him is some
ihing terrible beyond description.
The mental anguish law should be

A gigantic shipping combination,
the greatesi ever conceived in ihe
history of the world, with a capital
of hundreds of millions of dollars,
and with all the Governments of
South and Central America as well
as that of the United Slates as
owners of ihe controlling interests,
may be the outcome of the Pan
American financial conference.
If the United States possessed
an adequate Merchant Marine this
country would be enjoying the
most stupendous and tar-reaching
business boom that was ever
known. We could sell abroad at
least one hundred million dollars
per month more than we are sell
ing (which is $250,000,01)0) if we
had the ships to carry the goods.
It is believed that a tremendous
merchant marine will be the result
of tins conference. South and
Central America want more of our
goods and we have not the ships
to carry them and neither have
they. Brazil and Argentine have
just established a merchant marine
between those countries and this
but it is still inadequate.
