If You Eat the Doughnut and Offer fhe' Hole -as Collatera
8
THERE'S a man out in Illinois
who owns a bank and lends money
to farmers. He wanted to get at both
sides of the question of borrowing and
lending, so he got busy on a half-section
of land and farmed it on the principle
of a square deal to the soil. What he
found out was this: It's bad business,
both for the farmer and the banker, for
the farmer to eat the doughnut and
offer the hole as collateral on a loan.
It's one of those simple solutions of a big
financial problem that engaged the attention of
the President of the United States and a group
of Governors, meeting at the White House to
discuss this great problem only a few weeks ago.
Presidents of Insurance Companies, bankers,
men and institutions with money to invest, farm
' crs who want to borrow money all these people
will agree with us that Mr. Harris has thrown the
searchlight of common sense on a subject that
seemed as thick as a London fog.
There is a host of good things in this week's
issue of The Country Gentleman, but
Financing the Farmer
By B. F. HARRIS
Successful Banker-Farmer and Ex-President of the Illinois Bankers' Association
will be read with rare interest by every man whose busi
ness it is to lend money, or to borrow it which means
several million people.

TALK OF II NEW
RANK FOR UNION
New Daughter.
Thai beautiful and charming
little actress, Rose Ainsworlh,
will again be soon as "Juno Joyce"
in "A Bachelor's Honeymoon," at
the' Parinele theater luesday
night, January 14. Miss Ainsworlh
is wearing some swell gowus this
season and she will win her way
right into the hearts of those who
have not sen her, while those who
have soon her have not forgotten.
Miss Ainsworlh is young and has
risen rapidly in her profession,
until now she is a great favorite
from coast to coast. Sparkling
and saiutillating like a sunbeam,
her audience watch every grace
ful movement she smiles and
I hey smile she laughs, they
laugh she sings, I hey hank up
on every word, and when the last
nolo dies away they are as she
leaves I hem, in smiles or in
tears. The entire company sup
porting Miss Ainsworlh are a
galaxy of stars radiating around
her as the conical orb. Would
there were more "Rose Ains
worlh's" in this dreary old world
more light and brilliancy ami
happiness.

FIREMEN ENJOY A VERY
FINE Til LAST NIGHT
The members of the Platts
mouth Volunteer Fire Department
held a most pleasant banquet last
evening at the. Red Man hall on
lower Main street, which was at
tended by a large number of the
membership of thai organization,
and as a most elaborate feed had
been prepared the members en
joyed it to the fullest extent. The
Little German band was on Hand
to furnish the music, for the oc
casion, and as they are "some
musicians" this feature added
greatly to making the evening's
entertainment a success. This
banquet has grown to be an an
nual event with the department
and the members always look for
ward to it as a source of much
pleasure, as well as profit.
At the special meeting of the
lire department the following gen
tlemen were elected as ofllcers for
the ensuing year: President, J
C. llrittian; vice president, C. W
Hulla; secretary. R. E. Sawyer
treasurer, Harry Krnger; chief, C.
M. Manners; assistant chief. It.
W. Toogood. After the meeting
the mayor, council and members
of the department adjourned to
the banquet hall.
Today dawned as the coldest
experienced so far this winter, the
temperature ranging from 11 be
low zero to 15 below at Hie homes
of some of the weather "sharks,"
and with the heavy snowfall that
occurred yesterday made the
morning one that made a person
long to hang around the stove hh
much as possible. The train
service yesterday was badly intcr
ferred with by the stormy weather,
No. 2 on the Burlington from Den
ver being 35 minutes late, woilo
the Missouri Pacific, was nvran
hour late. The wintery weather
prevails over the entire west and
southwest, zero weather being re
ported as far south as Texas, amj.
in California a ' $40,000,000 Tos.
to the orange and lemon crop u
reported as a result of the oold.
Colorado points report 48 to 4f
below, which makes the weather
here seem like summer, but
it is just about cold enough to
suit most anyone. The heavy
snowfall here will prove of un
told value to the farmers, as it
furnishes a groat deal of moisture
to the wheat, which has boon suf
fering greatly from lack of rain
or snow, as this fall and winter
has been one of the dryest on
record.
