Government Is to Aid Banks Hit by Farm Plight Grand Island National Fail ure Starts Action by Re serve Board—Has Ap proval of Coolidge. By P, C. Powell, Waflliinxtou tomupondent The Omaha Bee. Washington, Jan. 19.—The report that the Grand Island National bank had closed Its doors is attracting Washington newspapers to the strain in the farm situation due to continued low prices of farm products. The newspapers nnd federal officials are depending upon the federal re serve board to issue farmers still more credit rather than to enact legis lation that will give the farmers an opportunity to clear themselves of debt instead of going deeper into debt. Officials of the reserve board are quoted as believing sufficient credit could be made available to tide over other banks which are in circum stances similar to the Grand Island bank due to unavailability of cash on middlewestern agricultural loans. The officers announced definitely that hanks in Chicago, Omaha, the Twin Cities /nd Kansas City were ready to offer any assistance within their power and that President Cool idge had given approval of this action. It was said here that failure of two banks In Sioux Falls. S. D., had pre cipitated difficulties in which many smaller Institutions are reported to he In at this time.

More Dairying to Aid Prosperity Business Leaders From All Over Nebraska Meet Here to Draw Up Plana. (tnntinunt Vr»m Pass Onf.l This was accomplished in a single day, son in concerns taking out $1,000 worth of - memberships. Lincoln business men stand ready to under write $15,000 more, and it is expected that chambers of commerce and bankers in all parts of Nebraska like wise will jain and contribute. A working fund of $100,000 for a 5-year dairy campaign Is contem plated. This sum would not be used to finance the purchase of dairy stock, but to operate a clearing house of information and assistance. C. A. Mlnnick of Crntvford, president of the Nebraska Bankers’ association, ex pressed confidence that banks throughout the stdte would bo able to make loans to farmers who arc qualified to enter dairying on a mod erate scale. He. warned against plunging, but advocated herds of from 3 to 10 cows. Like many others, he commended the plan for boys’ and girls' calf clubs as a way to spread interest in dairying. "Don’t Gouge Fanner" | ‘‘Farming is the most complex business,” said Dan V. Stephens of Fremont. "It takes more brains to succeed on the farm th In any other line.” Then he told of the experi ence of his bank, which lias for two years maintained a service depart ment in chargfc of C. W. Little, a dairy expert. Instead of exploiting the fanner, we have triad to give him help,” he said. "If bankers and business men are going to figure how much they can gouge out of the farmer, tills state will never amount to a damn, and we won't either.” Through Mr. Little the bank gives close attention to the needs of its cus tomers. He weighs their cattle month j !y, checks their feed, helps them buy dairy stock and Mr. Stephens says that whenever Mr. Little is in the FREE* Demonstration v PAINLESS EXTRACTION OF TEETH This week:—Bring this ad and we will extract any one of your teeth (free) to demonstrate our painless method.

U'ljrt toil! of the fintin cial stability brought to Minnesota by dairying anil described the woik of the ploys’ and girls' calf clubs which the Omaha National bank Is foster ing. Dan Morris pledged the aid of Buffalo county and told of a young Swede renter who starting with 10 llolstcins has in 12 years bought two quarter sections of land and built up a bank account. More co-operation Is needed from business interests. W. It. Hrokaw, head of the extension division of the University of Nebraska Agricultural college, asserted. He quoted figures to show that through lack of proper' cure and breeding full production of milk is not being obtained.. A cow of the, best class, he said gives a profit of 27 cents at a milking; one of the | second class, 12 cents, and ono of the poorest, the price of a cheap cigar. G. VV. Holdrege told of dairy pos sibilities in the west. C. S. Brown, a hanker of Aurora, told of the success of dairying in Hamilton county, where 250 cows of good quality have been shipped In the last year. Decently the Aurora Cham ber of Commerce gave away eight cows ss prizes to farmers. Two years ago the hanks there brought in 40 Cows and turned them over to form boys. The first calves were reftimed and apportioned to other youngsters, and thus milking became more gen eral. Near Marquette, he said, one farmer that/frowned on dairying, was converted by his boy’s experi ence, and now has five cows that I bring him in cream eJiecks for ;every five days. ■'We are not trying to teach the farmer hi/< business,” Dan J. Kliey of jftawson, declared. "Hairying is not business for a man of nervous temperament or for one who wants to make big money without work. But tiie family that keeps a few cobs always has a steady incoma and is considerably latter off.” . D. P. Hogan, president of the Oma ha Federal Hand bank, as.serted that lie always felt safer in lending money to farmers who milked than to others, ^nd the other bankers agreed with him. There was general agreement among all the speakers that with an increase^ dependence upon dairying, coupled- with an increased consurap tion, agriculture in Nebraska could he put on a more paying basis. Bring ing in heifers, not, necessarily pure hreds, but good grades, was advo cated. Then, with pure bred bulls, owned by community associations, high class h**rds could be built up in a few generations. Frank C* Tomp-, son of Woods Bros, company told of the system used on their Cherry county ranch, in which the pure breds are gradually crowding out the grades. Dr. J. H. Frandsen of Lincoln, a dairy expert, told of the steady in crease in demand for milk products, which promises tb eliminate danger of !overproduction. Thus, in 1922, we consumed 161.000,000 gallons of ice cream, as compared with 148,000,000 gallons the previous year. In 1800 the average American used 22 gallons ol milk in a year. Now the annual consumption is 49 gallons per capita. “Now that we've been stung on wheat, let’s find more profitable em ployment," he said.

Uhls, head of the l<h'* sanitarium at Overland Park, Kan., and Frank I.eonard, a patient at the sanitarium, were bound over to the district court today at the conclusion of their pre liminary hearing on a charge of high way robbery. Bonds were set at $5,000 each. The highway robbery charge grew out of a holdup near the sahitaiium on January 3, when I-. D. Breyfogle, Jr . a dairyman, was robbed by two masked men of $500 in Ub erty bonds which lit- had just received in part payment of a sanitarium milk bill. [joinim€>d6ra & Co. Are You Ready For Spring?
