Subscription Bates One Year __ ----- --------------------- 82.00 Six M o nth s....... ...... ..... —..........- 11.00 (Payable In Advance) — UNEARNED CRITICISM By FRANCIS H. SISSON Chairman, Public Relations Commie s!en American Bankers Association There has been some disposition to criticise the administration of the country’s banking system tor the sud den collapse ot prices and curtail ment ot credits In 1920 and 1921. and the subsequent finan cial difficulties ot the farmers. As a matter of fact, what ever blame may at tach to bankers must be for the too gen erous financing. In Francis H. Sisson jpany cases, of spec nlatlve Investment In farm property during the period of Inflation If any Just criticism could be directed at the manner In which the Federal Reserve System functioned In this situation In the opinion of many It would be that the Reserve banks delayed too long In raising the rediscount rates. An ear Her effort might hare stayed the proc egg of Inflation. The collapse of 1920 was by no means confined to agriculture, and was the Inevitable sequel to the Inflation period. AH branches of business suf fered in this period of reaction and perhaps none more than banking against which this criticism has been levelled. The financial situation of the farmers was greatly aggravated by the fact that the high land values and high prices of agricultural products had led many farmers to Incur obligations based on the Inflated values. If the farmer was victimised at all, Indeed, he was the victim of too much rather than too little consideration. The real progress which has been achieved In agricultural finance In recent years lies more In the Intelligent distribution of farm credit than In volume. With agencies now functioning for the provision of ample credits for the American farmer, his enduring success depends upon the wisdom and fore sight with which he meets the prob lems of production and marketing More than ever before, his activities mast be regulated with reference to world conditions, and his profits, like those of the manufacturer or mer chant. will reflect the measure of his snceess In adjusting his activities to these condition*. BANKERS HELP The banks of Linn County Oregon, nr* showing more enthusiasm than ever this year In behalf ot a county corn exhibit similar to that held last year at the Linn County Fair. Last year’s exhibit was the result of a con test for a prise offered by a number of local banks This was so success ful that this year ten out of the eleven banka In the county will subscribe to the effort. t t cents per thoaaaad sagital, te a Is sis thousand be realised.

Ifo w rjr, chairman of the Agri cultural Committee of the New Jersey Baokers Association, together with H. J. Baker, director ot extension work in the College of Agriculture, made a complete tour of the state thia spring, calling on the county agent* and agricultural committee* of the various county organisations to get a definite line-up on the work done and the plan* for the coming year. Ways and meant for furthering the program of the state committee warn eonald ared at tbeaa conference*. W a fer Inside Crystal Oliver Farrington, curator of the Field museum tn Chicago, brought from South America a piece of crystal quarts containing a small amount of perfect ly clear water which can be seen plain ly Inside the crystal. According to geologists, this water may have been In this crystal for 10,0(10,000 or 100,- 000,000 years The crystal belongs to the. Archenn age which existed hun dreds of millions of years ago. A woman eagared a new maid, with whoa* appearance and manner she was greafly pleased. When the terms hail been agreed upon the mlstrees said “Now, my last maid was much too friendly with the policemen. I hope I can trust youT” “Indeed you can, madam," she re piled. “I can’t bear policemen. I was brought up te bate the very sight ol them. You aee. my father was a burglar." Simple Reason for tha Change in Nama The ease with which many of the raeent acceaelons to our population change their names la Illustrated by the following true anecdote: The teacher In a South Boston school became so Interested In a little Polish girl that she was anxious to learn of her progress after she waa promoted to a higher grade and asked her new teacher concerning her. "There la no such child In my room,“ answered the one so questioned. "No Marie Levenakl! W hy! I know that ah* wa* sent to your room, for I asked about It at the time.” “ There Is no Marie Levenakl In my room. I am very sure," persisted the other. “But I have seen her go In the door, and there she Is now,” darting as she spoke toward a small girt approaching from the opposite direction. “Isn’t your name Marte LevensklT’ she do mended. "It used to be, but now It is Mary Jones," was the calm reply. “Mary Jones I How can that be 7" “Why, father buys and sells old Junk, and one day there wae a door plate with the thlnge, and the name on It waa Jones. Nobody would buy it, so we pat It on our door, and now my name la Mary Jones."—Youth’s Companion. — R EA D T H E W A N T ADS— NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Mayor and City Council of (he City of Hermiston, U m atilla County, Oregon, w ill meet at the City Council Chambers in said City, Wednesday, November 18th, 1925, at 8 o’clock P.

U n iv e r s i t y • ! IH ib o I r . holdup down In Thomasville one morning last summer—a really dreadful thing for a quiet country town and quite unex peeled. It wouldn't have happened It la very sure. If It hadn't been for automobllei and hard roada, two recent novelties In Thomasville. The hard road that connects the little village with the metropolitan centers of the country bad Ju»t been opened wltb appropriate ceremonies, and about the same time the Thomases for whom the village had been named bad bought a wonderful high-powered car It waa this car that the robbers got away In over the hard roed that had Just been finished. The holdup dropped out of a clear sky one bright spring morning Just as people were rousing for the work of the day. A dozen men appeared sud ilenly, brandishing huge revolver*, or united with vlllulnous-looklng shot guns, giving orders to people who were not uted to being ordered about, getting everyone out of bed who hud not already arisen, herding them into one central place at the point of a revolver, and frightening the women not to speak of the men, into a nerv ous collapse. Then they went through the houses, looted the hank, jumped Into the ma chines In which they had come In addl lion to the Thomases', which they had appropriated, and drove away with the money and other loot which thej had collected. The city papers were full of the out rage the next day and amazed at the nerve the bandits had exhibited. Il was something dreadful—poor men robbed, women and children hall frightened to death, and the money loss wan not Inconsiderable. I saw Jim Falkner two or thre< months after the thing had happened and he told roe about It. “Of course I ’m ngalnst holdups li general,” he said, “but I believe this one was a good thing for Thomus vllle.” "How so?" I asked, always hnvlng looked upon a holdup ns something to be avoided and to be abated. “It ’s brought the people together There was a lot of quarreling and Jealousy among the ‘hlgh-hnts’ before The Thomases hadn’t had anything to do with the Snyders for years. Some body was always pulling and haulln; at somebody else. The half-hour tha they spent huddled together In iron of the city building looking Into i shooting Iron stopped all that. Th- lions have been lying down with tli lambs us quietly as two kittens sleep, ing In a basket since then. There' unity In Thomasville, there's frlendlt aess and co-opernt Ion, nnd the peopl. are awake. I don’t hanker after eltlie earthquakes or holdups, but If a hold up doesn’t cost more than two or titre* thousand dollnrs It would be a gooi thing for some towns to Invest In.” All of which goes to establish tilt truth of the snylng that “There’s ro loss without some small gain." «a. sat».
