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*.

H. J. Baker, director ot extension
work in the College of Agriculture,
made a complete tour of the state thia

Oliver Farrington, curator of the

South America a piece of crystal quarts
containing a small amount of perfect

geologists, this water may have been

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

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

THE HOLDUP
B , THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Deuu of

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."
