Flaji of the Free
When Freedom, from her mountain height,
Unfurlrd her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glorry there!
She mingled with its gorgeouH dyes
The milky baldric of the slues,
And 8triied its pure celestial whUe
With streakingsof thu morning K.fht,
Then, from his mansions in sun.
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his in ighty hand
The symbol of her chosen bnd!

A great deal of the loud and violent talk about the fear
ful effects of prohibition on the morals of the people ank how
hard bootleg whiskey is on the inlcrnal anatomy qf the rum
hounds is not inspired by any vital interest in the topic itself
or any hope of getting away from Saint Volstead but rather
by a fervent desire to keep the dear people from thinking and
talking about something else.
That something else is a new phase of the old issue of
human rights ag;nt special privilege, of the man versus the
dollar. The longer they can keep the dead issue of prohibition
before the people the lo.;j;cr they can postpone the coming
conflict and their own d position from the seats of the mighty.

Well, the Covcrnor has had his day with the State Hoard
and at this moment it looks as though the man he seek to
depose would continue to preside over the penitentiary, I
duck pond and all.
We are not very well informed as to the merits of this con-.!
trovcrsy but we will say that the Governor has nerve and that!
the penitentiary head seems to be a' versatile genius. Duck
ponds and prison walls seem to us a really remarkable combi-1
nation.

Bankers Pcint Out Hazards of

1I7AY8 In which bankers may tllncour

Journal. Hssays:
"In Kansas In connection with the
Importation of dairy cattle, a large
shipment ot very Inferior animals came
Into a county to be sold at suction to
local farmers. The county agricultur
al agent Informed the bankers that the
cattle would be a detriment to the
community. The bankers refused to
Unance the p irc'iaso of tbs cattle and
the sals was abandoned. The cattle
tr shipped to another county. The
county agent and tbe bankers there
did as was don la tbe first Instance
and the second county escaped.

WHAT A KEY BANKER
DID FOR HIS COUNTY
t
The farmers ot on county la Ten
nene are receiving 1400,000 addi
tional annual Income from new farm
uterprles started since 1928 through
the efforts of a "key banker" and'th
county agent, according to estimates
from the Tennessee College ot Agri
culture. A "key banker" Is a part of the
i!ne bankers' association voluntary
field forr cooperating with the Ameri
can Bankers Asioclatlon In Its nation
wide plan for bringing about better
agricultural condition! through com
bined banker-farmer effort. New pro
jects started In this particular county
ire tobacco, Irish potato and cabbage
production for cash crops, and dairy
ing and poultry raising tor livestock.
The key banker, looking for some
thing to do to better his community,
tint attempted to procure a county
ayent but was unable to gi i the county
to make tbe neceary appropriation,
m he and other leading citizens made
up the requisite funds through private
nibitTiptlon among farmers aud basi
nets men and an nr. out was employed.
Up until 1926 grain waa the prin
cipal farm production In tbe county.
Tbe banker recognized the dlnadvant
s,tts ot this. It afforded a low cash
Income, and the land was too hilly tnd
rouuU for proflttibl rr?!n raising. Ills
Idea was tj intrsducj cr.ips that
nfftvd r.-.orc rrturj pir ncre snd vcre
be"er fitted to the (runty. It wai do
cl!e1 that tho cmnljr should stand
ardly on the Green Mountain potato
sr.d to market U It carload lots.
Through his bank hi sponnored the
buying of a car cf certified seed
potatoes. He llkov." o bought some
high quality tobaco : i and several
hundred settings ot puelired
Thet supplies wera dlMtrlbuted at iot
through the banks to the farmers.
After considers!)') effort a market
for dairy product;; wan assured the
farmers when in 19-3 a national cheese
company located factory there. A
county appropriation was secured for
county agent work iu 1928.
In 1929 tbe cash r.. ;i program re
sulted In farmers eclliun 145,000 worth
ot milk, 1150,000 worth ot tobacco and
fifty-five carloads of potatoes and cab
bage, mostly through cooperative tales.

FUNDS FOR HOMES
SUPPLIED BY BANKS
By ROME C 1TEPHENSON

A LARGE portion of tbe funds re-
quired In bom building alwsys
las been furnished by banks. They .
bav sbowa con
stantly a deep Id
terest In tlis per
formance ot this
featur of national
development. Up
on it reits much
of our country's
t a tar stability,
and any contribu
tion to Ita ad
vancmnt redounds to the
sdvantag of all.
So banking ha
never permiltel
Ita co-operative attitude toward horn
building to lensen.
I'ractlcally all hanks now accept sav
ings doposlts which can well be turned
to the advantage of the bom builders.
Tho construction ot Individual dwell
ings requires a 1-rgu amount of financ
ing and la a thoroughly commendablo
enterprise. Necearlly, the aid given
to home builders Is governed by tl:e
sound banking rules u!ch have grown
out ot th years of expe-I ...nee and the
conetant studies of bank practices.
All of tbs efforts made to aecuro
broader real CKtato loan privileges, to
adjust resources to nuke It possible ti
lend larger sums for long terms, the
standardization ot mortguge loan for
mulns, and the actual lending of vsst
'ini on mortgage notes evident tho
'Hire of banks to contribute n full
.I'.-asur of support t j the home-build-ng
movement. This Is true of all r la
ot banks, but even in a more marked
'egree of those whose deposits are
irgely In tbe form of savings and
vhnse loans are primarily for building
r home purchasing purpose. ,
Both Sides ProlecteJ
The process through which bank
'ohi; re made on real estate Is as
simple as the nature of such an Im
portant transaction will permit. When
nonry Is advanced the lender must
(now that repayment will be mads th
'rteclflod time. Likewise th borrower
wants to be assured that, after he has
Igured th loan on th basis of his
"onservatlvely antlclpeted ability to
pay, he w ill not be required to do more,
that he will not be disturbed In his ef
forts to work out of his obligations
under those terms. Whether his agree
ment 1 to repay the entire loan iu
three or five years, or on a monthly or
yearly lasts, he wants the assurance
that no additional burdens will be hr.
poied upon blm. All ot this Is settled
definitely in adrance.
TUore Is no mystery about any of the
details, and when the negotiations art
complete th borrower knows Just what
he may, expect and what be will be re
quirod to do to meet his obligations.
Loans mad to persons who wish t
acquir homes are not necessarily
b.illdlng loans. One may wish to pur
chase a home already constructed. Ia
tills form of transaction bank loans ar
tin d very freely because it is th only
kind ot a real estite loan some claasee
of banka may nuke. Others ot court,
may lend upon real estate with im
provements uncompleted and advance
funds aa th construction progresses.
Different styles iu horn financing bar
developed In the varloua states, and
bauka have tried to adapt their facili
ties to tbe needs. Whatever character
ot assistance is required in any par
ticular instance usually can be found
Iu some bank In ths local community.
Amouj banks and borrowers for
horn acquisition purpoaes a long estab
lished and thoroughly tested relation
ship exlats. Banks are not the only
ajeicles through whie'i sv.ch f .'.ndi are
available; they do not embody all the
pirlt ot helpfulness which abounds.
However, through the years ot their
co-oprratlou their aid has been ot iu
questioned value to the borne builders
whose efforts to establish a permanence
tor themselves hsve received cod i taut
encouragement. Bankers everywhere
are ready to counsel with their custom
ers about their home-building plans and
to assist to the extent ot thetr ability.
ThU is being done constantly and th
many advantages ot it are not wltWewt
recognition.
