WMH NATION '.V. fa J. ) a Jfip4 lic affairs that we would be glad to see extended to practice in many of the phases of our everyday life. In brief Mr. Quick argues along these lines: , The Federal Farm Loan Act will help the farmer, because it will supply him with cheap long term credit When the farmer is helped, he will be in the market for more supplies, he will be able to use more short time loans. This means that that amount of bonds must be sold before the farm ers will get their money. It will take some time to get the bonds popular ized, but that will come in time, and we have no doubt that the new sys tem will be a success and in a period of ten or twenty years really accom plish a great deal for the nation.

Stanchfield more land, he will build more barns and houses, he will fence more land, buy more fertilizer, buy more house- Void fumture, more clothing. This will mean more business for It In other words what helps one class of our population helps all. When one class is prosperous and doing well, the prosperity and welfare of other classes are accelerated. The Federal Farm Loan Act may cause some temporary embarrassment to some who have been loaning mon ey on long time by reducing their In terest rates, but other forms of in vestment equally attractive will take their place, and they will probably do just as well1 in the long run, although some of them at the present time may resent what they consider government interference with private business, But we all terest they have in the farmer's we fare by attending the meeting at the city hall. ' - Sam Weathers' Fun eral Held Tomorrow La Grande Man Died in St. Vincent's Hospital, Portland, Yesterday Was Sick But Few Days. The funeral of Sam Weathers, O-W. bmkeman who died in St. Vincent's hospital yesterday, will be held from Henry's chapel tomorrow afternoon at o'clock. Interment will be in the Masonic cemetery. Mr. Weathers was born in La must remember that Grande in 1872 and had been employed something was due the farmer, who is the keystone of the arch of our na tional welfare. We had provided cred it facilities for the merchant, business man, and manufacturer through the federal reserve system and the farm er was entitled to legislation that would give him the long time credit that he needed. Of course it is not reasonable to expect that this system is going to give any immediate relief: it will take fomo time to get the machinery of the new system in operation. The rnpid- a.s a switchman in the local railroad yards. He is survived by a brother in Montana, three sisters of South La Grande, Mrs. L. H. Russell, Mrs. F. W. Clevingcr and Mrs. F. E. Rohan; an uncle, Harding Weathers of Free water, Oregon, and Ben Weathers, postmaster at Enterprise, a cousin. The opening of a railroad that pro vides an outlet for the product has led to the dynamiting of one of Swit zerland's most famous glaciers and the marketing of the ice. I Dead or Alive! A (load dollar is the one which is hidden away; which earns yon nothing, and which is liable to turn up missing with out a moment's notice; or the kind you carelessly push across the counter, for this and that; things you really don't need then wonder in a week's time where they have gone. A live dollar is the one which you place in .this hank, where it is always safe. They will call for company; the result is, more saving; then when opportunity arrives, you are financially able to meet it with open arms, and a bank account.
