One of the greatest opportunities tn the business Hie 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 greater possibilities than any forward 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, fertilize the land, secure better seed, hold their products for a betetr mar ket price, etc. The banker In con tributing toward improving the grade of livestock; the quality of the seed and the fertility of the soil, plants in the agricultural life of the community a fountain of profit, that, like Tenny son's brook, runs on and on forever. Community Progress a Bank Asset. The 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 are getting any better or that the milk of human kindnesss is being imbibed more freely by our finan ciers. It indicates that the bankers are getting wiser, becoming more able fin anciers and the banking Industry more competent. The vision of the builder is crowding out the spirit of the pawn broker. A light has been turned on a new world of investment and no usurer ever received as 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 proached to perform a task that does not directly yield the highest rate of Interest, we 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 contractural rights; when a dollar is asked to expand in volume to suit the requirements of industry, It usually talks solemnly of its redeemer, but soul material has entered Into the vaults of our banks and 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. God Almighty's Noblemen. These bankers are God Almighty's noblemen. Heaven lent earth the spirit of these men and the angels will help them roll in place the cornerstones of empires. They are not philanthropists; they are wise bankers. The spirit of the builder has given them a new vision, and wisdom has visited upon them busi ness foresight. The cackle of the hen, the low of klne and the -rustle of growing crops echo In every bank vault in the nation and the shrewd banker knows that he can more effectively increase his deposits by putting blue blood in the veins of livestock; quality in the yield of the soil and value into agricultural products, than by busi ness handshakes, overdrafts and gaudy calendars. Taking the community into part nership with the bank, opening up a ledger account with progress, making thrift and enterprise stockholders and the "prosperity of the country an asset to the bank, put behind it stability far more desirable than a letterhead bearing the names of all the distinguished citizens of the com munity. The bank is the financial power house of the community and blessed Is the locality that has an up-to-date banker. POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS it is a sad day for Christianity when the church bells call the communicants together for a political prayer meet ing, Such gatherings mark the high title of religious political fanaticism, put bitterness into the lives of men; fan the flames of class hatred aud de stroy Christian influence in the com munity. The spirit actuating such meetings is anarchistic, un-Chrlstlike and dangerous to both church and state. The success of the nation Is in the hands of the farmer.
