IE COUNTRY BANKS MID IB
EMU ID I t III
The Country Bank Is the Depository of the Moneys in the Neigh,
borhood and the Main Source of Credit to the Farmer.
We some) imes wonder whether
fanners gel as much good out of
I lie liaiiks in their neighborhoods
as llicy slmulil. The country bank
is tin1 depository if Ihe moneys In
tin- n i h I ih m h 1 ami Ihe main
source (if credit to t h farmers.
No country community can do
without a bank; and neither can
the hanks do without the farmers.
There Hie no two classes of peo
ple more directly connected than
the hankers ami Hie. farmers, says
Wallace's Farmer
The first thing I he farmer
should do in coming into a neigh
borhood is to make a study of the
banks and hankers in that com
niunily. lie should pet acquaint
ed with them and should give the
banker every opportunity to be
come acquainted with him. They
will (lnd out about you anyhow;
but they had better receive in
formation as lo your llnaneial
standing direct from yourself
ihan from anbody else.
. One of the main considerations
for (lie banker extending credit is
tbe personal character of the ap
plicant. Many bankers loan to
men of small capital in prefer
ence to those of large capital, be
cause of confidence in the in
tegrity nnd industry of the small
man, which they sometimes lack
in the man of larger means. In
fuel, bankers do not particularly
desire eilher very large single de
positors or large loans. They
feel a great deal safer with a great
number of small deposits, and a
great deal safer with a largo
number of small loans than they
do with either individual loans or
deposits of large magnitude. A
great number of small deposits is
a sheet anoehor lo bankers. They
ii i not know how long" the large
depositor will leave his money in
the bank; while Hie smal Ide
posils are largely permanent.
First, get acquainted with your
banker and give him a chance to
get acquainted with you. If you
live in the country for any length
of lime, you are likely to need
llnaneial relations with some man
who can help you in lime of
trouble; and the sooner you make
I hem I he better.
The second thing lo do, having
selected your banker, is to leave
your money with him. Do your
business as far as possible
through his bank. Don't keep any
money around in a drawer or an
old slocking or a tin can in the
cellar, as many foreigners did
before the postal savings banks
were inaugurated. There's a rea
son for the foreigner's lack of
faith. They don't know our in
stitutions. They don't know our
bankers. Naturally they have
confidence in I he government;
hence their faith in postal sav
ings hanks. Do your business
through the bank that you select
Ordinarily do it through one bank
The bankers needs you, and if he
knows you are doing all your
business through his hank, it
gives him confidence in you that
he would not have if you were
scattering your deposits over fwo
- Summer Travel Hints! -
or three banks in the county.
When you need money, borrow
from the bank, having a definite
understanding when it must be
paid. Hankers usually loan on
sixty, ninety or one hundred and
twenty days. If you are not cer
tain you can pay up in that lime,
then have a distinct understand
ing that the note is to be renew
ed. Pay cash for what you buy
and if necessary burrow from the
bank for the purpose. The credit
system, almost unavoidable in a
new country, has been continued
longer Ihan is necessary;- and
while it is damaging to the whole
community, it does the greatest
damage to the farmer. You can
always buy cheaper for spot cash;
and even if you have to borrow,
you will pay less interest! han
you will if you buy on six, eight,
ten or twelve months' time. The
merchant who sells on credit al
ways figures on a certain percent
age of loss. If he is to continue
in business, he must add it on
the price, and thus distribute the
loss among his customers, ("let
out from under your share of
that loss by buying for spot cash.
Some farmers make sales once
a year for the purpose of getting
credit by selling the notes to the
bank. Sales always involve con
siderable expense advertising,
I he services of the auctioneer, the
cost of the dinner, and hired help
during the sale. Sale notes .some
times give a year's time without
interest; sometimes six months
or a year with interest at 0, 8 or
10 per cent. There is often a good
reason for making a sale, but it
is not a good thing lo make a sale
and gel rid of some stuff you
don't want, and put. in some of
your good stuff, just to get credit.
You will do it a good deal cheaper
by going to the bank and borrow
ing what you will need, paying a
lower rate of interest and saving
the extra expense incidental to a
sale.
Other men buy stock at sales
for the purpose of gelling credit;
and sometimes to their profit; for
al a sab' there are ahvavs some
go below I heir value,
use what is offered,
pay cash if (he note
bears interest, or take the dis
count, if it does not. lty doing
this you will not, only make money
in Hie end, but will have a sheet
ancnor lo windward, in case any
misfortune should come, you will
have a friend in the banker. You
will also be doing your part lo
tablish the custom of paying
cash, or wit hiii thirty days, which
is equivalent to cash, and thus
do a good thing lo the whob
community.
If the farmer has money ahead,
the banker will give him interest
for it; and frequently fanners
make money by putting money in
the bank on lime deposits, as if
I hey happen lo need part of it
before interest day, the banker
w ill very readily loan I hem w hat
Ihey want, with their deposit,
certificates as security.
In short, if you have (he right
kind of a banker in your com-,
munily and will follow our sug
gestions, il will be money in your
pocket. If you are not satisfied
with Hie character of one banker,
there are other bankers in that
or neighboring communities; but
wherever you are get into rela
tions with some man who can give
you credit when you need it.
No civilized people can do with
out banks. They serve a most im
portant place in Ihe development
of any community or country. (Jet
in touch with the best one, and
then in times of panic slay by it
and withdraw ns Utile of your de
posit as possible. Some farmers
seem to feel that Ihey ore in
danger, if the banker has a note
against them, but feel quite easy
if a merchant lias a note of the
same size against Ihem. There is
no reason for this feeling. The
banker can extend you credit and
renew your note. Ordinarily
merchant wants his money
must have it.

Several Important Matters Dis-
cused and Delegates Elected
to Hastings Convention.
There was a fairly good turn
out at the meeting of the Com
mercial club last Thursday night.
President T. 11. Pollock was
present and presided. Divers
questions of interest and benefit
to the city were taken up and
discussed at length, (he question
of good roads being Ihe one topic
discussed more than any other.
A report from the president
that he had received many in
quiries regarding the condition of
Ihe road to the Pollock-Duff
bridge and as to when (he bridge
would be ready for crossing, re
ceived the 'attention of the club.
The National Automobile associa
tion have established a route,
called the "Sunset Route," be
tween New York and San Fran
cisco. Lhe iiooklet has already
been issued manning out the
route from New York to Omaha
and from Omaha to Kansas City
through Platlsmoulh, and from
Kansas City to Ihe coast. The
president of the Omaha associa
tion has reeeeived inquiries by
the score as to when the Platte
river can be crossed.
A motion was made by Mr.
Falter, which carried, ihat the
club gel, rigs and take Ihe county
commissioners to Ihe Platte bot
tom north of the city and show
them the road leading lo the
bridge and inspect it with them.
It was then voted, on motion of II.
A. Schneider, Ihat the president
call up the outside coiiimission
prs and ascertain when it will be
convent ion t. for them lo visit the
Platte bottom road. This was
done and the date fixed at next
Thursday,
John Half, jr., moved, and it
was voted, that the dub attend
the next session of the city coun
cil ami present a petition for
funds to repair Ihe road leading
lo the ferry.
The matter of belter train
service to Plat Isiuotil h was taken
up and earnestly discussed. It
was the sentiment Dial the pas
senger agent be interviewed and
steps taken to procure for the city
belter service lo Omaha and rt
turn. K. 11. Wescott moved that
a committee be appointed to see
Mr. Wakeley with Ibis end in view
It. is iiiougnl mat u better train
service-could he had many mon
business men who reside in Oma
ha would rather live in Plaits
nioulh provided Ihey could reach
ineir places or mismess earlier in
the day. It would lie much more
onvenient for persons going
.incoln to look after business
matters if No. 1, going west about
5:30 a. in., would slop here.
Mallsiuoulh people would be bet
ter served if the sschuylcr (rain,
running lo Omaha via Oreapolis,
would run lo Plallsmoulh, then
o Omaha, and returning the
same, wlncli would cut out tne
hange at Oreapolis, which is a
very disagreeable incident of I ne
present, service.
E. A. Wurl and John Hall, jr.,
were elected delegates to the slate
convention of Commercial clubs,
which meets in Hastings.
