Suit by Jeanne Lanvin '
ir'itir
- "! f iron 1 1
a
m
CHICAGO. Aug. 24.-(Speclal.)-Officlals
of representative banks located In the county
seats of fifty-four count!es.of Nebraska
deny that the credit of farmers In that
state has been Impaired by the purchase
of automobllos, and In all except one In
stance declare that It has not been neces
sary for the farmers to give a mortgage to
purchase one of the modern flyers.
The denials are In answer to a series of six
questions addressed to these bankers In
letters sent out by George W. Mason, Chi
cago manager of "IHie Omaha Bee, and The
Twentieth Century Farmer.
Recently Mr. Mason secured from Kansas
City bankers a denial of the statement ac
credited to James Patten, the "wheat king."
that farmers of the west were Jeopardizing
the prosperity of the country by giving
mortgages to buy automobiles, and that he
knew, of Instances where such mortgages
were held by Kansas City banks.
"The farmers of Nebraska are perfectly
able to buy automobiles without mortgaging
their farms, the agricultural sections of the
state were never more prosperous than they
are today." Is one of the typical answers to
the questions.
Average Deposits OT Per Cent.
Information furnished In the letters shows
that the average percentage of deposits by
farmers In the banks from which the fig
ures were secured, amounts to 67 per cent.
ranging from an estimate' of 33 to 40 per
cent from the First National- bank of
Omaha to a clear score by the Banner
County bank of Harrlsburg, Neb,, the de
positors of which are all farmers. Many of
the banks had an average of "5 per cent.
The questions follow:
Does your bank hold any mortgages on
automobiles purchased by farmers or mort
gages on farms to secure the purchase of
automobiles?
What can you tell me about farmers buy
ing automobiles?
What percentage of your deposits are
made by farmers?
What, In your opinion, is the credit stand
ing of farmers in your community?
Is the purchase of automobiles by farm
ers Imparlng their credit?
' Are not the furmers able to buy automo
biles and pay cash for them?
The answers to the first questions were
no" in all except one Instance and this
was of a banker who "believed thgt. a chat
tel mortgage of J00 had: been recorded In
his county for a runabout."
Many Farmers Bnylnajr Antos.
To the second question the bankers re
plied that many farmers' In their sections
are buying automobiles.
The bankers stated that the credit of the
farmers Is mure than good and in answer to
the fifth question declared that there Is no
foundation for saying that the credit of the
farmers is bring impaired by' the purchase
of automobiles.
President L. J. Titus of the First National
bank osf Holdrege replied that he had
seen considerable criticism la the eastern
papers lately in regard to tlie purchasing
of automobiles by western 'farmers. "The
east has no kick coming," ha wrote, "be
cause all of the money used In baying auto
mobiles goes east."
l.aud Increase JnntUlea Buying.
H. U. Mason, cashier of 'the First Na
tional bank of ilartlayton, wrote: "If the
furmers of Nebraska are not able to pur
chase automobiles I know of. no class of
persons who can do so. The increase In
the value of the land here during the last
twelve months la more than double the
coNt of the automobiles purchased, not to
mention the crops grown and the high
prices received for them. In our little city
there are about forty automobiles and pos
siLly ir to lin in the cjuniy."
Arthur Uc.Nanura, president of the First
Nmloiiul bunk of North Platte, wrote:
pn this section only the farmers who
aru able to buy machines own them. We
feel that farmers have us much right to
purchase, automobiles at the present time
as they had to buy horses and carriages

Considerable attention Is being directed
toward coat suits or rather straight, loose

differ widely from the ordinary box coat.
The coat of this character by Jeanne Lanvin
is of heavy suiting mohair. In black, show-
Ins a fine line of white and red, the trim'
mtngs consisting of changeable black and
red velvet and silk binding braid. There i
a deep collar of the shaded velvet. A fea.
ture of the trimming Is the rosettes) of
rushings of the mohair.

"Now that you have to go back to the
city I'm sorry your vacation is over," said
Friend Wife. "But I suppose a summer
widower's life is not all mourning."
"They see only wee hours .of morning,"
replied the Tired Business Man. "But con
sider the humane Bide of It. If no summer
widowers remained In tow n who would
feed the 'kittles?' However, don't Imagine
because you hear some of them say 'I'll
bank,' that any would ever go so far, as to
burpank their widower's weeds onto the
grapevine, hoping to produce the morning
glory. Few of them are observed culti
vating such roof garden truck as head
aches and mauve taBtes. Their weeds ara
not tares nor tears.
"He's a greatly overabused institution,
the summer widower. No one would think
of giving him a word of sympathy In his
bertavement and everybody has the Idea
that his life is one long round of rounds.
He Is pictured as being without any re
straints, a gay bird Invariably accompany
Irg a cold bottle. As a matter of fact it
is the restraints on a married man that
make the game of . squaring himself at
home so exciting and fascinating. Liut with
nobody to develop his latent talent for Im
provising light summer fiction right on the
spur of the moment, to say nothng pf
right at the door of the flat, the game falls
very flat.
"Of course If a man could develop ab
sentmtndednesa and forget each time that
his wife was away, hooray! hooray! he
might get a few thrills out of sneuking
home shortly before his usual rising hour,
creeping stealthily In. wondering If no
body is ever going to oil that door so II
won't creek when he Is trying tn do a
glide, pausing to remove his shoes so that
he can get the full benefit of the edi-'ert
furniture, stepping on the only squeaky
board in the flat, sitting down In a man
ner to upset the noisiest chair and finally
slipping Into bed, holding his breath, which
ought ever to be held, and then remember
ing that he Is alone In town. I can be
lieve that for such a man, living In widow
erhood during the summer holds tiuTa fv
delightful thrills.
"The Impression prevails that a nun
who Is sending enough of his weekly hand
out to ketp his wife and family lu style to
which they are not accustomed, at a sum
mer r sort hojel. which Is, of course, noted
for Its cheapness, tail fling aside ti la cares

TUESDAY We are hot going to stay
with Tpjn'a cousin until Friday. Aunt Har
riet haa called on the Invalid, and on dis
covering that she Is a near relative of old
Oeneral Judson, Is very much pleased. In
fact, from what I heard of the vUlt, ahe
seems to be connected with a whole army.
On the strength of Oeneral Judson Aunt
sent her over some wine Jelly. I told her
It was the right kind to send apropos of
tha Oeneral, as he was always very tight
whenever I happened to see him.
She thinks ha Is a very remarkable man.
He rets an awful edge on one cocktail,
and tells her she Is a marvellously beauti
ful woman. She asked 'me rather coldly If
I thought that the sort of remark for a
young lady of refinement to make. When
Aunt lose her last hope that I am that
sort of a young lady. It Is going to be much
easier for her. I saw the old lady's nephew
sitting on a bench on their front lawn this
morning gaxlng over at our house. Mar
garet saya he haa telephoned every day to
know it I had returned yet. I can see that
he shows the proper spirit. He certainly Is
one of the best looking men I have ever
seen. I asked Aunt vaguely If the old
lady didn't have any one down here with
her to keep her company.

this Is done on the dole which the average
summer widower allows himself for dairy

every nipht he gets so lonely he sets the

summer widowers spend thlr nights writ
Ins reports to their absent ones, Instead
of communing with the spirits, bottled
variety, as generally slandered. At least,
those without Imaginative stenographers."

pityingly. "I'll arrnnge to come home at

ting on our front lawn reading, and on
glancing over to the white house, I saw
Mr. Connors drive out the front gates
with his aunt. I finished my book soon
after that, and went Into the house. It
was awfully warm,- and as there wasn't a
soul likely to call, least of all the Connors
man, whom I had Just seen start for a
drive, I went upstairs and put on that old
pink silk kimono with the apple blossoms
on it, and came down and rot all settled
In the hammock on the hack piazxa with
some fudge and a book. I had only been
there about ten minutes when I heard
steps on the walk. I looked out between
the vines, and it was Mr. Connors.
It was an awful moment. To add to the
horror of the situation there is a big hole
In one of the shoulders of that kimono that
I never remember to mend. The only
thing to do was to make a dash for the
other end of the porch and get tn the
long window that Is there. There was a
chance that he would not see me as I ran
by. I got to the window ull right, but It
was closed and would not go up. I aged in
that moment, but with a fearful Jerk I
managed to get It open Just as I heard a
step on the piazza. I looked over my
shoulder as I got In, and saw his back as
he walked to the other side.
Thank goodness, he had not seen me! I
made as little noise as possible, but I tore
my kimono on a nail and left a piece of UM

he didn't hear anything. He was sitting
down with his back turned toward me,
and didn't even turn his head. I didn't
dare stop to pick up the slipper. Luckily it
was black, and didn't show much, and
was also two sizes too small for me, as It
was a pair Charlotte had given me. I tor
upstairs and rot dressed as quickly as
