CO-OPERAIE WITH

SOUL M ATERIAL HAS ENTERED
T H E BANK VAULTS OF
TH E NATION.
The Bank a Financial Power House
to the Community.
By Peter Radford.
One of the greatest opportunities in
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 greuter possibilities than any
lorward movement now before the
American public.
A few bankers have loaned money
to farmers at a low rate of interest,
and ofttlmes without compensation, to
buy blooded livestock, build silos,
ertilize the laud, secure better seed.

- - 1 price, etc. The banker in con
tributing toward improving the grade
of livestock; the quality of the seed
une the fertility of the soil, plants in
the agricultural life of the community
a fouutain of profit, that, like Tenny
son's brook, runs on and on forever.
Community Progress a Bank Asset.
i he 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 dare 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 aro getting any better
or thut the milk of humun kiudnesss is
being imbibed more freely by our finan
ciers. It Indicates that the bankers are
getting wiser, becoming more abli-fin
anciers and the banking industry inure
competent. The vision of the builder is
crowding out the spirit of the pawn
broker. A light has been turned on
a now world of investment and no
usurer ever received ns large returns
on the investment as these progres
sive bankers, who made loans to
uplift industry. The bankers have
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-
preached to perform a tusk that does
not directly yield the highest rate of
Interest, wo 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 contracturai rights;
when a dollar is asked to expand in
volume to suit the requirements of
indu9t»y, it usually talks solemnly of
its redeemer, but soul material has

nd 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.

has given them a new vision, and
wisdom has visited upon them busi

The cackle of the hen, the low

crops echo in every bank vault in the
nation and the shrewd banker knows
that he can more effectively increase
