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.

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,

Sam Weathers' Fun

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

led to the dynamiting of one of Swit

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.
