Statistics tell us that the average milk production in the United States is 4021 pounds per cow per year. Yet under better breeding and feeding many cows, yield 10,000 pounds, some 20,000 pounds, and a few 30,000 pounds and more. Then, if extra care in selection and breeding, and a better knowledge of feeding can multiply production twice, thrice and even six times, isn’t the matter worthy of the utmost attention! We look at it that way here at the First National bank, and are always glad and ready to assist farmers in procuring or increasing or bettering their herds within practical and profitable limits. To anyone interested in studying livestock breeding and production from the ^standpoint of results, the Pa cific biternational Livestock Exposition at Portland, No vember 3 to 10, offers unparalleled opportunities. In the great 10-acre livestock amphitheatre more than 3800 head of purebred dairy and beef breeds, sheep, hogs, horses and goats; also 2500 chickens and rabbits, will be gath ered. This has become the largest and most varied live stock show in America. You will gain a liberal education in stockraising and feeding by attending. ,-Jn America jjtnirrnmrnt uifts nrratri) foe the purpose of protecting its citizens FIRST NATIONAL BANK (The Old Reliable) Member and Promoter International Livestock Exposition XIlQatnMuB by Raymond Perry A rtic -..; T wo THE AMERICAN WAY America stands today at the cross roads of destiny. We are face to face with a great decision, which we cannot evade or postpone and which involves the future of every man, woman and child and of every American institution. The question has to do with the relation of government am! the peo pie. ple. Under our scheme of life, government exists for the citizen; the citizen docs not exist for his government. In America g.'.vern- ment was created for the ptirp pose of protecting its citizens from danger, of guaranteeing them in their rights while enforcing upon them the duties of citizenship. An American chooses his own work and his own career, lie makes his own place in society. When he acquires prcqierty, by honest means, as he usually does, his right to the possession and enjoyment of that property is as sacrr.l under our laws as is his right to life itself. Not only is the individual free to acquire and to own private property by his own individual effort, but he also has the right to cooperate with other individuals in the production «nd ownership of private wealth. When two or ten or a thousand persons unite in the ownership of private property, as in a joint stock company or a partnership, each en joys exactly the same property rights under the law as if there were only one owner. Economic Problems Pressing There is reason to liclieve that for a long time to come the thought of the world will be centered upon eco nomic problems. Having achieved democracy in politics, religion and education, we cannot stop until' we have applied the same principle in some form to the production and ownership of wealth. The Ameri can people will soon have to decide how this shall be done. Shall we do it by making the government every thing and the individual nothing? Or can we turn the trick by the long-tested American method of leaving the individual free to work out the problem of individual initia tive and free private cooperation?

The latter is the American way ; the other is now being tried out in Russia. Now, we can only forecast or judge the future by what we know of the past and present. Have we, therefore, any experience, ar insti tution ar achievement, developed under American conditions, that will serve to throw light upon these problems of progress ? Have we given the American scheme a fair trial? If so. has this trial made it possible for more and more people to secure a growing share in the material good things of life? Fortunately, we have an institu tion which, by the application of American ideals, principles and methods, has grown so great and been tested over so long a time, that, in its history and in the results it lias achieved, we can find an answer to our question. That institution is Life Insurance. In this organization there are vast accumulations of capital saved, owned and administered by more of our people: than arc associated in any oth< r single enterprise except the State itself. It is fair to say that through no other institution have so many people ever partici;>aied in the desirable things of life with such satisfying result« to themselves and their drpendents, and with such gen eral good to the community. It touches in one way or another nearly every man, woman and child in the nation, and for that reason everyone is interested in its history, its present status and its future prospects. In this type of economic and social organization America leads the world. Institution is Young The business of Life Insurance in America is not very old. As re cently as 1860 wc had only 47 com panies with $180,000,000 of insur ance outstanding upon the lives of tO,000 persons. The greatest devel opment has occurred since 1905. In that year the Armstrong Investiga tion in New York State directed Eublic attention to the problems of •ife Insurance as never before, and marked the beginning of a develop ment which is without parallel. Misunderstanding was cleared away from the public mind. The social value of the institution was revealed. All doubts of its economic sound ness were dispelled. Its basic prin ciples were interpreted not only to the public but to all connected with the institution itself. Abuses were corrected, mistakes rectified and standards determined for the guid ance of the management The de sirability of just supervision and con trol by the State was emphasized, and the ground-work was laid for the development of the great variety in the forms of insurance so that the particular need and conditicui of everyone could be met The figures covering the period ai expansion since 1906 are stupendous. The total outstanding insurance of all American companies has in creased since 1906 from $13,50Q- (W.000 to about $50000^000000 in In 1922, $10,500000000 new insur ance was written, which is nearly as much as the total insurance m force twenty years ago. At the beginning of 1923, Ameri can companies were carrying a life insurance risk of about fifty bflliou iWlars representing around »eventy- eight nrilban policies which are held by about one-third of the total pop ulation of the United States.
