'I certajnly was rurprtsed to learn from

are remarkably large,' said Mr Charles

"In New Tork near'y all reports state
that the com and wheat of Colorado.
Nebraska. Iowa and Kansas amuunted to
m!v about half the usual crop, and these
false reports have had a bad effect upon
many eastern hanks. Since I have been
here I have talked to many banker, and
'.hey say that business could not be bet

for money and conditions generally point
to another year of prosperity for the
west.
"The condition ef toe banaa In New

the demand for funds has Increased, and
with the demand a littia higher rare

"From all I can hear and see. it seems
to me that Nebraska is to be congratula

success. Thousands visited the show. And every visitor
meant business. Everyone listened to the talk of the west,
everyone took away maps and booklets descriptive of the
land; .It waj a thoughtful, hopeful crowd that witnessed the
first I,nii Show. So much more extensive will be this sec

that the landseeker wants to learn. Lectures, motion-picture
machinea, and other fascinating means will bring the fertile
west before your very eyes and ears. Special programs
with many imported entertainers, Indians, bands, singers,
etc will furnish amusement and diversion during the thir
