ROOM FOR ORE MORE
Last week it did begin to look like
there would not be room for “One
More” in our study hall, but we placed
Some in position and there is room for
more. We also have auother hall ready
when we need it.    t
There is always room far one more
in the business world who prepares in
our school. We have more caHs for gra-
da-ates than w« can fail.
G0€D WILL GAINED
Since we took over the interest erf
Draughon’s school here and the stud-
ents are adjusted to our plan, listen w-ha
ane said:    "Mr. Jarrel I dofft wantyou
to think I am kidding you. I hate to
give up at the other school, but since
getting started here I want to sa.y you
have the best school I have seen”.
He is a government student and he
named several schools in this state and
out. Then he said: “The way the work
goes on here makes them look like a
tramp”.
This may sound strong but the way
thosy students are working th-y show
they like a working plan. Its like wor-
king in a business bouse to be a stur'e.it
here.

Thousands of men and boys each year
are flocking t« tbe city. Clerks In the
city are barely eking out an existence
and they cannot expect to receive
much more In the way of compensa-
tion.
But back on the farms are men
working for a reaaoaable retwrn. and
in addition they have their houses,
the wonderful suaehlne shore Is
the daytime, the womderfui fresh all
and all the things that the sell pro
daces. The he* whs 4s raised on the
farm will hare as aattrrdy different
aspect of life sad appraash the rari
oua problems with which he Has to
deal In later years in a different way
from the bey who is raised In the
city.
In this period of unrest we are cer-
tainly vitally Interested • In rearing
both on the fame and In the citlei
boys and girls with the proper out-
look for the future. Imbued with the
belief that the activity in which they
are engaged Is, after all, something
that will provide them both with the
necessary things of lifarand with hap-
piness. For in happiness there is con
tentment, and In contentment In
America there Is safety for our Insti-
tutions.
Every single banker should feel
that the problems his farmer custom-
ers have to contend with are not only
the farmer's problems but his prob
lems as well. He should feel not only
that the farmer must be prosperous
so that he can deposit more in. his
bank, giving the banker more to loan
and thereby Increasing his profits, but
that also there Is something which
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents. It is the thought of rendering
such service to their customers—re
gardless of whether they are farmers
or men working In the shops, or big
business men of the cities—that will
bring not only prosperity but con
tentment as well. The banker should
take as his motto: “Who serves best
profits most"
Co-operative Marketing
Agriculture produces enough -t(
feed the people the year around bul
some of this production should b<
stored to eliminate tbe aver supply ai
the times of harvest or during periods
of high production. It can then bd
thrown upon the market tn accord!
ance with consumptive demands.
Co-operative marketing is still in it!
infancy. In a few localitie.3 where
farmers have been properly‘organ
Ized and provided themselves with
adequate facilities to store their prod
ucts they have been able to consider
ably stabilize prices, to the advantage
of-both producer and consumer.
Farmers are looking for a scientific
merchandising basis upon which to
market their products, ft ie extremely
important that they organize rightly
on the commodity basis and secure
efficient capable management and ade-
quate financing. This cannot be done
in a day, a week, or a month, nor tn
five or even ten years. It must.be by
gradual growth and development
The problem is so Important .It de-
mands the besl thought of not only
farmers but educators, bankers and
other business men.—Banker-Farmer.
SOME HARD FACTS
ABOUT SOFT MONET

When a' farmer takes hts product
to market and sells It for, say, a dol
lar a bushel, he Is dependent upon the
honesty of two measures—the dollar

fake measure, laid for thdt store
keeper with the trick basket and sent
him to prison.
Th# other day a crossroads store-
keeper got sent to jail for mautpu
latlng a trick bushel basket with a
false bottom that would slide up ani
down in a way that was grand, gloomy
and mysterious. When using It tc
measure stuff he bought from a farm
er, he'd secretly shove the bottom
down until It held at least a bushel
and a quarter, but he would only
credit him with a bushel The buying
power of the farmer’s product was
thereby depreciated by about twenty
per cent
Finally the farmers thereabouts got
wise to the tact that the only way
they could get what was coming to
them was to enforce a reliable stand
ard of measurement Se they put s
good ■ tlC jail penalty on using •
Politicians In Europe have been
manipulating the other measure—the
money measure—in much the same
way. Some of them in America want
to tamper likewise with the dollar.
Here is about the way it would work
out Suppose, when the farmei
brought his product to market, the
basket measure was honest enough
and be got a dollar bill - tor each
bushel. He’d take his dollars home
and save them. Perhaps he planned
to buy some land next his own for a
thousand dollars, and figured that in
a year or so he could make it
But meanwhile the politicians start
to manipulate the base of the cur-
rency. They would change It from tht
gold standard to a fiat money plat
—from a gold guarantee to the mere
say-so of the government that a piece
of paper was worth a dollar. The
farmer wouldn’t be watching the
money-politicians. He would be toe
busy raising things. At the end oi
the year he has his thousand dollars
He takes them to the landowner and
says,,“I’ll buy your land now—here’s
a thousand dollars.”
But the landowner would say, "Thai
is 'paper money—my land is worth
one thousand dollars gold—tbe gov
ernment has printed so much papei
money folks haven't much confidence
in it. But I am willing to take a
chance If you'will give me a dollar
and a quarter In paper money foi
each gold dollar’s value of my land—
in other words. I’ll give you my land
tor $L254) dollars paper.”
Soft money would be only*anoth<M
way for the money-politicians to hand
tbe farmer the same dirty deal sus the
basket manipulator. In the first case
the farmer unknowingly gave a bushel
and a quarter of bis product, and In
tbe second case he would have to give
a dollar and a quarter of hie money,
for a dollar's rains In return.
