EPSON, Pastor. Kansas Pickups SMITH COUNTY minor mistakes in administration, but moro generally on a misunderstanding of their purposes, of what should bo expected of such a system. The banker, as much as any man, la to blamo for tlio present misconcep tion. Ho found Federal Reserve Banks a ready scapegoat to blamo for no matter what happened. If It Boomed deslrablo to refuso or call a loan It was easy to say that the Fed eral Roscrvo Bank wished It, although It should have been refused becauso contrary to good banking practice. Most of all was the system blamed for thu fact that violent Inflation which hundreds of business mon and hankers hoped might ho continued forever was Anally checked by putting up Federal Reserve Interest rates. There wito those who blamed tho system tor not hnv'ng put up the ratn soon enough and others who blamed It because it put up tho rate at all. Tho penalty for thus blaming every business mishap on this valuable sys tem may bo tho hns of Its much needed benefits. If .o wish to savo the prosi'iit bank of the United States from tlio falo of its two predecessors wo must mako known to America, to Its rank and flic, the splendid useful ness of those institutions. Wo must admit at tho outset that in their administration mistakes havo been made, that governors of Fed eral Reserve Banks and members o! tho Federal Resorvo Board are human beings, and In tho administration of the affairs of any institution by human beings mistakes will bo made, but theso havo been so Insignificant a8 compared with tho outstanding usefulness of tho institutions them Belves that they should bo judged by tho good which thoy havo performed, which,, afier all, has been along the line of their designed achievement, rathofl. ,than by thoso .rrqt'sj.Jwhlch A young couple who think they uro Henry Ford says he will not run for president. Ills friends say it Isn't necessary to run bemuse ho can win In a walk. It would bo easier to havo faith In reforms If so many reformers were not using them to mako good jobs for themselves. A Hartlngton man was arrested the other day for having two stills. He- must havo been trying to quench Joe O'Furey's thirst. When I get to be governor I am going to abolish phonographs, music in restaurants, mashed potatoes and most of the salads. Every man wants to comfort an at tractive woman when sho cries, unless she happens to bo his wife. Then ho wants to throw a boot at her. Hustling around doesn't mean that you arc doing a lot of work. A pup chasing his tail uses up lots of energy but he doesn't accomplish anything. A Hastings man got mad at his wife the other day because she sneezed her false teeth into n kettle jf beans. Some folks are awful per-ticler. Lew Shelley thanks his lucky stars that lie is no longer bothered by tho pest who offered to enlarge his pic ture free if he would buy a gilt frame. The woman who accused Bill Hart of being the father of her child now says it is a child of God. Lew Shelley remarks no one is above suspicion nowadays.

TEEL R.elia.ble Insurance The attention of all our citizens, in the city and community round about, is called to a meeting Sunday even ing which promises to be of unusual interest and importance. The churches of the city are uniting in this community welfare mass meet ing, on tho Congregational lawn in conjunction with and under the di icction of tho Nebraska Hygiene and Welfare Campaign. Theodore Hanson, Director of tnc State Hygiene and Welfare Cam paign will bo the speaker. Wc can unsure the people that this uildrcs.-. will not only be full of interest, but will contain n challenge not only to tho individual but to the collective citizenship. There is action in this program and every good citizen should be in it. Do not let anything prevent yov. from attending this meeting. Remember the time nnd place. Sun day, 8 p. m. A pamphlet and questionnaire on cooperative- farm marketing recently Is sued by tho Stato Bank Division, American Bankers Association, has brought out valuable Information oa tho subject from bankers, farmers and stato agricultural departments. It is being used ns a campaign document In tho organization of co-operative mar keting associations In various sections of the country, farmers having adopt ed Its slogan: "Put Agriculture on a Par with Other Big Business." I The movement on the part of farm ers toward co-operative marketing xs a cure for their present rconomlc plight Is nation-wide. There has been notable progress in tho development of such associations, somo consplcu ously successful ones being In opera Hon at tho present time. There havo also been some disastrous failures among these ventures In co-operatlw marketing, which Is tho Inevitable ac companiment of tho progress of any movement. Tho "Banker -Farmer," published by the American Bankers Association, says: ' "Causo and effect aro operative In co-operatlvo marketing as truly as thoy are In every other business enter prise An association will not neces sarily succeed or fall merely becauso it Is a co-operative association, but be causo It couforms to or transgresses from tho underlying principles of suc cessful business operation. Tho movi ment Itself Is of great national Import and tho bankers of tho country can materially aid or retard lis progress. Tho responsibility of leadership In rural conitaunities rests very largely with tho country hanker. It Is his duty to bo informed on all matters re lating to tho farmers' woll being." Modern conditions are such that ag riculture cannot bo successful by In dividual effort. To regain Its position as a basic industry, and as a foroo in national affairs, agriculture naiat de pend upon organization and co-operation for economic production, for eco nomic marketing and for tho estab lishment of its proper relationship In community l'fe. - - Howard Leonard, President, Illinois Agricultural Association.
