BANKERS URGED TO
CO-OPERATE WITH
FARMERS
SOUL MATERIAL HAS ENTERED
THE BANK VAULTS OF
THE NATION.
The Bank a Financial Power House
to the Community.
I
By Peter Radford.
One of the greatest opportunities tn
the business life of the nation lies
in practical co-operation of the coun
try banks with the farmer in building
agriculture 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 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 con
tributing 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 Tenny
son'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 trans
actions would pain the directors like
a blow in the face. A cashier who
would dnro to cast bread upon waters
that 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 j
or that the milk of human kindnesss is
being imbibed more freely by our finan
ciers. It indicates that the bankers are
getting wiser, becoming more able fin
anciers and the banking industry more
competent. The vision of the builder is
crowding out the spirit of the pawn
broker. A light has been turned on
anew world of investment and no
usurer ever received as large returns
on the investment as these progres
sive bankers, who made loans to ,
uplift industry. The bankers have 1
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 dol
lars 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 up
ward; when a dollar is requested to
return at the option of the borrower,
it usually appeals to the Goddess of
Liberty for its eontractural 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 material has
entered Into the vaults of our banks
and rate, time and volume have a
new basis of reckoning in so far as
the ability of some of the bankers
permit them to co-operate in promot
ing 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 builder
has given them anew vision, and
wisdom has visited upon them busi
ness 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
the yield of the soil and value into
agricultural products, than by busi
ness handshakes, overdrafts and
gaudy calendars.
Taking the community Into part
nership 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
the distinguished citizens of the com
munity. The bank is the financial
power house of the community and
blessed is the locality that has an
up to-date banker.

POLITICAL
AGITATORS
POLITICIANS WHO CAPITALIZE
STRIFE A MENACE TO
GOVERNMENT.
Neglect of Agricultural and Industrial
Opportunities a National Crime.
By Peter Radford.
There never was a time in the'his
tory of this nation when we needed
statesmen more or agitators less than
at the present moment. The oppor
tunities now afforded us on land and
sea demand the best there is in state
craft and the possibilities that are con
fronting us call for national issues
that unite the people, build industry
and expand trade. The agricultural
and industrial development of this
nation lias suffered severely at the
hands of agitators who have sent
torpedoes crashing into the port side
of business and whose neglect of the
interests of the farmer makes them
little less than political criminals. We
want no more of these evil spirits to
predominate in government. Too long
their hysterical cry has sent a shiver
down the column of industry.
Too long have the political agitators
capitalized strife, pillaged progress
and murdered opportunity. An indus
trial corpse is not a desirable thing,
a crippled business an achievement or
neglect an accomplishment about
which any representative of the gov
ernment has a right to boast.
Issues that Breed Agitators Should be
Eliminated.
The political agitator must be elim
inated from public life before thought
ful consideration can be given to a
constructive program in government.
The liquor question is the most pro
lific breeding ground for agitators and
whether pro or anti, the hatch is
equally as undesirable. This article
is in no sense a discussion of the li
quor question but deals solely and by
way of illustration with the political
products of that issue. Other sub
jects will be dealt with in the order
of their impoita..ce.
In the history of our government
(lie liquor issue has never produced
a constructive statesman worth men
tioning and it never will. It has sent
more freaks to Congress, Lilliputians
to the Senate and incompetents to
office than any other political issue
under the sun.
The recent experience of the Eng
lish Parliament which lashed itself
into a fury over the liquor question
has a lesson that it is well for the
farmers of this nation to observe; for
the subject in some form or other is
constantly before the public for solu
tion and ofttimes to the exclusion of
more important problems to the Amer
ican plowmen.
Too Many Political Drunkards.
I.loyd-George, the Prohibition leader
of Europe who led the prohibition tight
in England, has declared that he will
never again take a drink politically
and there are many American politi
cians—pro and anti —w ho would render
their country a service by climbing
on the water wagon or signing a pledge
of political temperance. Too often
our legislative halls are turned into
■political bar-rooms and many of the
members become intoxicated on liquor
discussions. We have too many polit
ical drunkards pro and anti —in our
public affairs. No one who is a slave
to the political liquor habit is quite
so capable of dealing with the busi
ness affairs of government as the
sober and industrious. We have few
public men in this day who are strong
enough to resist the temptation of
strong drink politically and when the
demon Hum once becomes firmly en
trenched in the mind of a politician,
lie is less capable of meeting the de
mands for constructive statesmanship
now confronting this nation.
We have in this country too many
red-nosed politicians—both pro and
anti. A candidate with political deli
rium tremens, a preacher with politi
cal snakes in his boots and an agitator
drunk on the liquor question are the
saddest sights in civilization and they
should all be forced to take the polit
ical Keeley Cure.
it is fur more important in govern
ment to make it easier for those who
toil to eat than to make it more dif
ficult for a few topers to drink. There
is not one persn in one hundred of
our rural population that ever touches
liquor but we all eat three times a
day.
The only good thing about the war
is the fact that it is on the other
side of the Atlantic.
“Cured”
Mrs. Jay McGee, of Steph
enville, Texas, writes: "For
nine (9) years, I suffered with
womanly trouble. I had ter
rible headaches, and pains in
my back, etc. It seemed as if
I would die, I suffered so. At
last, I decided to try Cardui,
the woman’s tonic, and it
helped me right away. The
full treatment not only helped
me, but it cured me."
TAKE
Cardui
Ths Woman’s Tonic
Cardui helps women in time
of greatest need, because it
contains ingredients which act
specifically, yet gently, on the
weakened womanly organs.
So, if you feel discouraged,
blue, out-of-sorts, unable to
do your household work, on
account of your condition, stop
worrying and give Cardui a
trial, it has helped thousands
of women, —why not you ?
Try Cardui. E-71

Restored to Good Health.
“I was sick for four years with
stomach trouble,” writes Mrs. Otto
Gans, Zanesville, Ohio. “I lost weight
and felt so weak that. 1 almost gave
up hope of being cured. A friend told
me about Chamberlain’s Tablets, and
since using two bottles of them I
have been a well woman.” Obtaina
ble everywhere.

Pull the Cork.
When the editor approaches the av
erage citizen in his quest for news he
is. invariably told that the citizen
“doesn’t know a thing,” and that an
swer is about as near the truth as
the nations of Europe are to effect
ing a prompt settlement of their dif
ferences. Everybody knows some
thing, and most people know a lot
of somethings that are worth telling
and would make breezy and newsy
stories, but they just bottle it up
in the walls of their dome and for
get that it is there. Sometimes the
editor is able to pry it loose word
for word until he gets the story,when
it would be the easiest and simplest
thing in the world to let it all out
in a rush. Pull the cork, brother,
and Jet out the contents of your in
tellectual bottle and we will pass it
on to others who are thirsty for news
You know a-plenty, if you only know
that you know it.

Bilious Attacks.
When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom
ach and causes nausea, vom
iting and a terrible headache. Take
Chamberlain’s Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as
j well as ever. They only cost a
: quarter. Obtainable everywhere.
The real test of manhood comes in
lending money to a fellow when you
are morally certain you will never
see it again.
A Foretaste of Heaven.
A country vicar, writing in the Xo
voge Vremya, says of the changfd
conditions in Russia under prohibi
tum:
“The old women in the villages can
hardly believe their own eyes and
ears, so changed are their men-folk.
Not a hard word, not a row’, but ev
erywhere peace, kindness and indus
try. War is said to be hell, but this
is like a foretaste of heaven.”
Many a man car ries a load of true
greatness bottled up in his heart and
never thinks to pull the cork.
