COON CREEK FARMERS GET IN UNE
Demonstration of Rapid  and Ef¬ fective Work at Hanging Rock Hill
The farmers of Clay county are get¬ ting to be live wires and are awaken¬ ing to tbe fact that co-operation in- good roads work Is just tiie tiling, and the system tbey have adopted has proven a winner. Ever since Hie tirst wtirk was done at Kox Creek Hottoiii much Interest has been taken in Hie good road.s movement, anti in every communily where tliero liappens to be a stretch of batl roatl the fanners get together und coiisitlci-the nuiltcr of making it better,
A demonstration of rupitl :intl ef¬ fective work was shown at Coon Creek, Hanging Hock liill, four miles southwest of Kloru Tliursday of last week. Nothing was said almut the work, however, until Tuesday when A, H, Misenheimer and olliers got busy and starteii the movement. This time for digging out tlie hill was set for Thursday, and on Hiat tiate there were over one liuiiiired people on the job with their coats olf, sleeves rolleti up and everybody busy.
Thirty-live teams were on the job and were furiiislicil liy tlie following named parties:
Walter Miseiiheiiiier, A, H, Miscn- lieiiiier, Marion Miseniieimer, .lolin Osterdock, Oscar .McGrow, .Kiel Van- tleveer, .1. 11, Darr antl sons, Kennetli Markham, W, A, Markham. .lolin Windle, II, H, Illgginson and sons, Eugene Stoutenberg, Kee Uob¬ lnson.

Hut say, when the dinner hour ar¬ rived tlie boys were right In line too, antl the way Hiey did eat was a cau¬ tion, especially Scudamore, wim is re¬ ported to lie a victim of stomacli trouble,
Tiie big feed was prepared by the gtxid housewives of tlie farmers and from the report of those wlio partook of the viands say it was simply a grand feast,
Tlie gotiil roatis movement is bens' liciul in more ways than one, as it Is creating a social element whicii Is proving to be of much worth, as well as the good that is tierlved from the work on the roads, and the Record hopes that Hie movement may con¬ tinue to grow until every bud stretch of road in tlie county Is put in good shape.

IV.-F. A. Vanderlip
On The Business of Banking
The farmers of this nation lo come Into their own must study business. W'e musl, as a class, untierstand the fundamental principles that umlcille every Intlustry, Its functions to society antl its relation to agriculture, for there can be no intelligent co-operati«n without under¬ standing, Mr, F, A Vanderlip, president ot Ihe National City Hank of New Vork, when asked, "What is a bank? " said in pnrt:
"The first and most familiar function of a bank is that of Ktithcring up the idle money of a community, small sums antl iarfic, and thus forming a ptxii or reser¬ voir upon which resionslble persons may tlraw as they have temporary use for money. It Is eviiienl Ihat this makes large sums In the aglirepntc available for the employment of labor and the development of the ccniMuinity. Hut much mere is acconipllslicd tlrttn the use of the money actuully tlopositeil in the banks, for by the use of tlrafts. checks and bank notes llie ctTiclency of money is multipllcii several times over, A very larpc business, for example one of tho great beef jiacUers, may use very little iictual money; on ono side of its bank account will bo entered the chocks and tlrafts it is tially receiving from everywhere In jiayment for meats, while cn the olher side wiil be entered the checks it draws in payment for cattle, etc., its only use of money being for small pnyments, lo labor antl otherwise.
If there wero but one bank in a community and everybotly paid all bills by ilrawing checks on that bnnk. anil everyone receiving a check Iramo- iliately tieiiositetl It In the bank^ the nniinint of money in tho bank evitlently woultl not change at all antl the entire luHlness of the community woultl bo settled on the books of the bank. Anil tho situation ia but slightly changeil when there are several banks, for they tiaiiy exchange among themselves all the checks they receive on each other, which practically offsi^t themselves, although the small balances are paid In cish. This is calletl 'clearing' anil In every large city there is a 'Clearing House' whoro representatives of the banks moot dally tc settle thoir accounts with each othor.
A bank is constantly receiving from Its cuRtomors, partlculnrly those thnt are shipping proilucts to ether Iccalltloa, drafts and checks drawn on banks in other cities, which it UBUaily sends for deposit lo a few correspondent banks in the central cities with which it innlntalna pernianont accounts. In this way these scattered credits are conaolidatod and the bunk draws upon these accounts in supplying customers with the means of making paynionta away from home. As crcIi local communily sells and buys nbout the snmo amount abroad In tho courso of a year, tlioso payments largely offnet each other. It Is evident thnt tho banks arc very intlinatoly related to the trade an'l i'ldustry of a country. The banker Is a dealer In crodit much more thnn a denier In money, and of course his own credit must be above question. Ilo exchanges his credit for tho credits actiulrod by the customers, nnd londs credit for their accoinniodation, but ho must conduct the businoss with such judgment that he can always meet his own obligations with cash on domaiid. This is the essential thing about bank credit, that It shall always be the
