Order from your proccr PART IN company; the frnit idei itself was Rood, and it grew enormously; so that the manager has had an ac tive part in the final development of this far larger tract of orchard land. That much of good Wil lamette valley orchard would sup ply whole kingdoms and states with .more good frnit than many of them ever saw, or will see un til It comes frpm here! Mr. Bohrnstedt grew up on a Wisconsin farm; with cows and hogs and the business of the farm all around him. He graduated through a country bank, spending eight years in the: home money mill and then organizing a bank of, his own, with hlmse; as cash lei and manager, which he Car Tied on for several; years. "The country banker ia as es sentially a part of farming as the farmer hlmHeir." said Mr. Bohrn stedt. in telling of some of his experiences. "He learns to know the costs, the problems, the mar kets, the failures,! the wildcat chances and the grievous ship wrecks that sometimes come into the farming game. If he's a good banker, he i3 as" necessary as a balance wheel to' ;a watch; he mightn't be the mainspring, or the big wheels, but he certainly is the winding apparatus.'! Bank training ought to be in valuable to the realtor, the confi dential fiscal agent who buys and sells for others, the man who loans the funds of others. It may not instill the idea that money is a fetich, a sacred thing to which everything else is : subordinate; but it lays a solid foundation for valuations and methods. Organ izrtl Farm Ijoan AsjKM-iatlons Just how valuable it might be is curiously reflected in the state ment of the Horticultural Farm Loan association, one of the two 8"ch federal farm finance corpor ations organized by Mr. Bohrn stedt in the Willamette valley, and of which he is still secretary. This first one comprises the coun ties of Marion, Tolk, Yamhill artd Clackamas, it has loaned nearly $300,000: yet there is not a dol lar of .delinquency in the payment. of either principal or interest in stallments. The same is true of the Hopkins National Farm Loan association, organized by Mr. Bohrnstedt to cover the counties ot Benton. Polk. Lincoln and Linn; their loans .. are ' approxi mately the same, and the same scrupulous exactness has been carried ot in their records. .Mr. Bohrnstedt as practical manager of the two associations until 1921 and of the one association since, has helped to keep: them up to tho highest standards; the farm loan system isn't going into dis credit at his hands! Only care ful bank training, with long ex perience in farm values and farrn er problems. could ever carry through such a project with so gratifying a record. ; ; Mr. Bohrnstedt has loaned out large snms for the; Pacific Sav ings and Loan association of Ta eotna. They take only city prop erty, where the federal farm loan system takes only rural proper ties; mere is not a dollar of de j linquency or past-due paper even in these "hard times" on the lty Seamless Hot Water Bottles and Combination Syringes Guaranteed Net To Leak Prices from $1 up Brewer Dr ug Co. 405 Court SU Thone IS I V loans put out through this agency. It's sometimes a superhuman achievement tu stand aside and properly iudge values in fast-moving city property that may go 'way high or drop to the cellar in a single uay: mere aren i very many who can keep clear of the speculation bug when things are happening. These farm and city records, however, prove that it can be done; even if it is unusual. Mr. Bohrnstedt has carried on a general line of insurance and bonding work, along with his con fidential services an buying and selling agent for properties and general financial investments. But perhaps of all this allied work, that of placing insurance he con siders the most helpful. Should Carry Life Insurance "A man ought to carry life in surance." he says, "and get into the habit of savin?. Ninety-five out of every 100 young men would be perhaps better off physically and morally, even outside the habit of saving, if they'd devote the cost of a good insurance policy to that purpose rather than to the careless spending that Is so com mon. But the money that they lay aside for their future families or estates, and the habits of thrift and regularity that are fostered by such an investment and evi dence of stability are of course the big thing. I feel that it is an everlasting favor done to any young man to get him to take out a good insurance policy; he is go ing to be a better citzen, a better husband' and father, a saner American, for having this an chor. "Nothing that a young man can do is of greater importance than the lire insurance trust in human kind. It teaches every man that there is a race of which he is a part, that In the aggregate is safe and sane and progressive; : it is the exact antithesis of all the bol shevism and destructive tenden cies that strive to extort 'equali ty' by preying on others nwt of their own sort. It is the absolute leve!er of class distinction and cheap aristocracy; it bringij all men to one common level its to their value to society. The life of the laborer weighs exactly as much in tlfe insurance scales as the pampered son of royalty-and no more; a life is a life,), and they're all brothers. " ' One gets back all he puts into this collective human melting pot. all he puts in. with Hiiro intArput The man of talent or wealth who puts in a lot, gets it back; but the little investor is just as sure of returns as the king or the cap italist just as the man who gives in any other public" service. Every dollar put into helpful life Insur ance channels, is that much saved that might otherwise be wasted and thrown away. The insurance fund is the great world savings uaim, mai can i i ail if the world i lives a normal life and doesn't burn or blow up the bank! Iluwinrc; Insurance "One Hue or business Insurance that is growing mightily in favor Is that of insuring the partners or essential executives so that th business could be carried On with out too serious interruption In ca&e 01 a aeatn. in a partnership, for instance, upon the death ot one partner the old regime in stantly ends; his heirs could call for a division, however disastrous it might he to the business of. Mu re main-inc partners. So the habit is-growing for every partner to take out insurance, the firm pay ing all the policies as general ex pens and the survivors are then always safe against a disaster if one passes away and his heirs fihoultl chance to lie troublesome To insure the chier executive In a business that depends so largely on the personality of the one man is obviously good practice. 1 feel that it is a distinct contribution to the stability and safety of so. ciety to write such policies as these that keep the business world safe and sane against need less wreck.'

It Isn't exactly a matri monial agency, serving for the pnre joy of seaing friendships rip en into love; but there, have been many delightful romances of the kind that promise to shine on through the years and through all eternity, brought about by the class activities. The class has per haps no counterpart iu the North west in size and efficiehcy. Once every spring the wKole "gang" go as guests to the Bohrnstedt home Tor an elaborate feed and Jollifi cation,, and there the engagements of the year are announced. Some f of, these betrothal lists look like a whole school census! The Ite!torV Aoi-iation Mr. Itohrnstedt was one of the organUers of the Marion County Realtors' Association. and has ! been active in making the organ ization a stronger moral lorce for clean, progressive, good real, es tate business. At the annual meeting" on Mon day evening of this Week, Mr. Bohrnstedt was elected' president of the association. v "A man dealing in : land, the greatest physical .fact in the' world, ought to be as carefully in- j formed and as honest as the preacher dealing In Bible truths," is the rather unique way he has stated his position. "Iand ougjit to be honestly priced so that the buyer can make it pay; honestly and authoritatively represented, so that he knows exactly, what he is buying and how to handle it; and then honestly farmed to make its benefits accrue to ;the who e community. The Kealtors-' Asso ciation is trying to work on this honorable .theory and - like a!l other honesties, it pays;" I'loittotinL; Klux Indnntry Mr. Bohrnstedt. appointed as chairman of the flax committee ot the Realtors'-, Association to in vestigate the ' flax conditions or the Willamette valley.; prepared the constitutions and 4)v-laws of thp two new associations wliirli it . - ave ne:n lorraea to promote tne splen'didly promising industry.

Mr. Bohrnstedt has had a largo part in the organization of a scofe of corporations, some of them of im posing proportions. Farm Ixmn Mf y , Xrrdwl Mr. Bohrnstedt looks for the differences in policies that have hampered the allocation, of fed eral funds to farms as contrasted with other more specnlative secur ities, to be adjusted, so that the federal funds will soon; again be Wy Snflar With SwbmI Tioabla Wktm ; jigk---"t '' 7V ii .- . - -i available for farm loans In this part of the west. .Farming has been hard hit everywhere; peri haps ithe .Willamette valley has tuffered less than most other sec tions, but still there is an acute shortage of ready cash. If all the difficulties can be adjusted, there may be a resumption of loaning this spring that will put the Wil lamette valley farmer In a way to finance all his reasonable farm operations, and insure prosperity for the year fo come. A liulnrss Komnnco There is an interesting business romance, connected with the coin ing of: Mr. Bohrnstedt to Salem aa a resident. While living tn Minne apolis, ten years ago, he became interested in the Waldo Hills or chard I planting company, and also a corporation .that .did some ex tensive orchard . work in Lane county., near Creswell. He came out here as president and manag er, with no obligation or expecta tion Of investing farther. But whfn bis eastern associates got cold feet following a temporary Klump; in the fruit business, and it looked as if an ignoble bank ruptcy, was inevitable, Mr. Bohrn fctedt. jbecause his name and moral credit-wero involved, took up the load, j llo has carried it for nine years.; without profit, without hopo of reward save bis own ap- pioai; until now it is practical! v paid up and off the books.
