illustrate the lessons. Emphasis was
placed on the important part bankers
can play in developing agriculture.
In South Dakota specific plans for
the ensuing year are the appointment
of county key bankers, co-operation
in boys’ and girls’ club projects ano
group meetings of county agents anc
key bankers in Minnesota the county
key bankers system is to be continued
with special emphasis on bringing the
county agent and key banker into
closer co-operation.
At a banker meeting at the North
Dakota Agricultural College it was de
cided that the key banker organiza
tion would be completed and in ordei
to acquaint the bankers with agricul
tural needs county bankers’ meetings
were planned during the year
At a conference held at Montana
State College it was reported that
county key bankers had co-operated
in arranging for a livestock specia
train which ran for seventeen days
made twenty-nine stops and came in
contact with 22,000 people; that bank
ers had assisted in six district con
ferences that led to the formation ol
a state agricultural program, and that
twenty-eight counties reported definite
work under the leadership of the
county key bankers such as assisting
in the purchase of purebred livestock
and loans to club members.
Other States in Line
Idaho College of Agriculture was
the scene of a special meeting at-
tended by thirty-five bankers and col-
lege representatives. The conference
voted to join the key banker ranks.
In Oregon the first banker-farmer
short course was held in January with
a good attendance and marked en.
19th day of July, A. D 1928, the file
number of which is No. 290, in which
suit J. E. Doddridge is plaintiff, and
Hudson D. Wilcox, 0. N. Anderson,
and Daniel F. Deal, are defendants,
the cause of action being alleged in
substance as follows:
That on or about the 1st day of
March, 1928, that plaintiff entered
into an agreement with the defen-
dants, whereby he leased to them the
use of a Star drilling rig, together
with tools and accessories to be used
by them in drilling a well prospect-
ing for oil in Brewster County, Tex-
as, at and for a consideration of $300
per month; that said defendants used
said outfit for a period of two months
and paid the plaintiff in all, the sum
of $100, leaving a balance due plain-
tiff of $500, by reason of such rent-
al contract; that likewise plaintiff
permitted the use of 1900 feet of
6 5-8 inch oil well casing by defen-
dants, they to reimburse him the
amount of damages by reason of their
use of it; that said casing was worth
90 cents per foot, and that defen-
dants demaged same by their use to
the extent of 20 per cent of the val-
ue of the casing; that by reason of
such damage to the casing, the plain-
tiff has suffeerd a loss of $342. Plain-
tiff asks damages in the total sum of
$842, with interest thereon and all
costs of suit.
You are commanded to so sum-
mon such defendants, and to serve
this citation, by making publica-
tion of this citation once in each week
for four consecutive weeks previous
to the return day hereof in some
newspaper published in your county;
but if there be no newspaper pub-
lished in said county, then in any
newspaper published in the nearest
county where a newspaper is pub-
lished.
The new socket-power receivers are
fast replacing the old type eet. The
simple form of turning on the light
switch now supplies an inexhaustible
source of uniform power.
One of the new and improved
socket-power receivers recently an-
nounced is the Radiola No. 18. In
speaking of it, Mr. J. L. Ray of the
Radio Corporation of America said,
“It is entirely self-contained and ex-
tremely compact, requires no batter-
ies or external radio power units, but
plugs directly into the nearest A-C
electric light socket or outlet. With
simplified precision tuning, substan-
tial volume and realism of tone, and
finely balanced sensitivity and selec-
tivity, this new receiver has all the
basic features to make it an outstand-
ing success.
“In addition, laboratory technicians
have further improved selectivity so
that sharper tuning is provided with
Bankers Association in co-operation
with the state agricultural colleges
and county agents for the purpose of
bringing about both local and national
solutions for farm economic problems
has shown notable results during the
past year A review of these activi-
ties in the Bulletin of the Agricultural
Commission. American Bankers Asso-
ciation. summarizes some of the chief
points as follows.
In Missouri a meeting was held at
the College of Agriculture at which
the bankers again appropriated $1,600
for boys and girls club work Saline
county bankers have raised $500 to
stimulate beef calf clubs and report
definite results obtained in getting
farmers to lime their soil and grow

ment projects are being appointed and
another Short Course in Agriculture
for bankers is being planned
in Kansas no less than fifteen coun-
ties are reported by the Extension
Service as engaged in definite banker,
farmer work County key bankers at-
tended four district conferences dur-
ing the year
The Louisiana bankers’ agricultural
committee met at the College of Agri-
culture in connection with a bankers’

the new receiver. An improved form
of tuned radio-frequency circuit is
employed, comprising three stages of
radio-frequency amplification, detec-
tor, and two stages of audio-frequency
amplification.
“The operation has been reduced
to the simplest form. A power
switch turns the set on and off. The
current drain from the electric light
line is no greater for the new receiver
than for the usual 50-watt lamp. Tun-
ing is accomplished entirely by one
knob, while an indicator dial moves
past a window in the panel. The vol-
ume intensity is controlled by a sim-
ple, volume control to meet the spe-
cific tastes of the listener.
“This new receiver represents the
latest developments in the broadcast
reception art, which mass production
has made available at a price well
within the reach of the average
family.”
interior was a wealth of wonderful
blossoms. The hostess had worked
out a pastel color scheme of pink,
blue, yellow and lavender, each table
beingcomplete in one color.
The motif for the party was sug-
gested by our recent heavy rains and
parasols were strongly featured. Each
table held a bouquet of Shasta daisies
in a vase matching the color of the
cover and containing a small Japa-
nese parasol of the same color. The
score cards and tallies also featured
parasols.
Eight games of bridge were played,
following which an appetizing three
course luncheon was served; first
the salad plate of stuffed orange
salad on lettuce, wafers, tiered cheese
sandwich tied with ribbon to match
the table cover. The second course
was creamed chicken in patty shells,
hot rolls, fig pickles, asparagus tips,
potato chips and iced tea. The third
course was most effective, grape ice
and devils food with a tiny parasol
topping the ice.
Following the luncheon prizes
were presented as follows: to the hon-
oree, a lovely wistaria silk parasol;
to Mrs. Ida Kokernot, a set of six
bridge pencils in the shape of para-
sols; to Mrs. W. H. Terry for sec-
ond high, a small sewing set enclos-
ed in a parasol shaped case; to Mrs.
G. W. Baines for consolation prize,
a similar sewing set.
Those present were Mesdames W.
F. Barclay of Waco, her sister Miss
Mary McGregor of Temple, Mrs Oli-

Coming as luncheon guests were
Mrs. J. C. Coleman, Mrs. Leo Howell,
Mrs. W. J. McIntyre and Mrs. Zeb
Decie.
Results Shown
In Kentucky key bankers have been
appointed in each county with the
result that the bankers of the state
are co-operating with the College of
Agriculture more specifically than any
other group of business men Some
of the fruits of this co-operation is
demonstrated by the fact that the
number of dairy cattle in the state
has increased seven per cent and the
production per cow twelve per cent.
Three counties in the state have elim-
inated all scrub bulls.
In North Carolina the oustanding
accomplishments have been the honor-
ing of “Class A Farmers,” that is,
those attaining a degree of proficiency
in a well balanced and sound system
of farming as indicated by a score
card prepared by the College of Agri-
culture and the Bankers Short Course
given there Future plans, provide for
the continuation of the county key
banker system and the arrangement
of county banker-farmer tours.
In Virginia $15,000 has been raised
by subscription for boys’ and girls’ club
work, largely from bankers A group
meeting was held at the College of
Agriculture with two hundred bank-
ers in attendance. The Committee on
Agriculture of the State Bankers As-
sociation voted to continue and check
up on the county key banker work .
The reports from New York on the
activities for the past year included
the distribution of 20,000 short form
farm credit statements prepared co-
operatively by the agricultural col-
lege and bankers. The bankers’ ag-
ricultural committee also arranged to
send suggestions to the banks of the
state to aid in financing purchase of
dairy cattle to replace those lost by
the tuberculin test.
Bankers’ Farm Schools
Bankers' Farm Schools or “Short
Courses” continued popular during the
year. Several colleges held such
courses under the auspices of the
state bankers’ agricultural commit-
tees and are repeating them this year.
“Minimum of Talk—Maximum of
Demonstration” was the character of
program put on by the Kansas Agri-
cultural College for the second Bank-
ers’ Farm School in April. Four rep-
resentatives were invited from each
of twenty counties, consisting of the
county key banker, the county agent,
the secretary of the county bankers
As Aunt Emmy sipped her tea she
heard the conversation drift to the
Slade sisters. The fact that they had
inherited a large fortune and would
have to administer it themselves
created considerable comment.
“My husband says old man Slade
made a big mistake not putting it in
trust for them,” said Mrs. Burt. “He
says women never should handle large
sums of money because they are ‘finan-
cially uneducated’—he really means
‘dumb.’ ”
“All women aren’t dumb about
money matters, are they, Aunt Em
my?” exclaimed Miss Pringle.
“Of course not,” Aunt Emmy agreed.
“There are all sorts and kinds of wo-
men all the way from very prudent to
very foolish.”
“Well, anyway, an awful lot of wo-
men have been victimized in financial
things—just look at all the widows
that have been robbed,” insisted Mrs
Burt.
“There won’t be so much of that in
the future as in the past,” Aunt
Emmy said. “Women have been easy
to victimize because they knew so lit

thusiasm. A meeting of the state
bankers Agricultural Committee held
in conjunction with the course voted
approval of the banker-farmer con-
test sponsored by Agricultural Com-
mission, American Bankers Associa-
tion, and appointed a committee to
confer with college authorities on
methods to prevent spread of con-
tagion in dairy cattle.
California held twenty-two success-
ful county tours during the year and
as a result it is planned to extend the
tours to every county in the state
and also to arrange a state-wide tour.
The county key bankers played a big
part in pushing this work. At an Ari-
zona College of Agriculture meeting
of bankers county key bankers were
appointed and plans made for com-
munity conferences of bankers, farm-
ers and others where local agricul-
tural needs will be discussed.
In New Mexico bankers and county
agents met at Clovis as a step in the
plan to acquaint bankers in different
sections of the state with agricultural
conditions and to bring about greater
co-operation between them and the
county agents. At the Colorado Col-
lege of Agriculture plans were formu-
lated to select county key bankers, to
follow up work with key bankers and
county agents and for chairman of
the state bankers’ committee to at-
tend and address group meetings.
In Nebraska four “farm outlook”
meetings were held, largely attended
by bankers. Sixty-nine county key
bankers were appointed during the
year and follow-up work between them
and county agents is to be pushed.
For Iowa effective co-operation is
reported between bankers and the
Extension Service of the state col-
lege in their farm bureau programs.
Every third farmer in the state is a
member of the bureau. The key bank-
er system is to be continued and spe-
cial emphasis is to be placed on team
work between county agents and key
bankers.
Director D. H. Otis of the Agricul-
tural Commission American Bankers
Association attended many of the
meetings.

Bridge Luncheon at : 1
McIntyre Ranch Home
“The loveliest party of the sum-
mer," was the verdict of all the
guests assembled by Mrs. Vernon Mc-
Intyre at her beautiful ranch home
Thursday morning when she gave a
bridge luncheon honoring her friend
Mrs. W. F. Barclay of Waco.
The drive to the ranch through
Paradise Canyon was unusually beau-
tiful following the recent rains and
new beautiese were discovered all
along the way. In its natural setting
of beautiful trees, the attractive
ranch home is a picture in itself.
Friends had remembered the hostess
with such gorgeous flowers that the
tie about money affairs, but now they
are realizing this danger more and
more and are taking advantage of the
financial advice departments their
bankers have set up for them. One
thing that has led to women’s finan-
cial undoing is their natural love of
pretty things. This trait often leads
them into foolish investments and
speculations to get money quickly.
Once a woman sets her heart on a
thing she can’t wait until it is hers.”
“But if women didn’t buy things,
there wouldn’t be any business,” spoke
up Molly “Women are the natural
spenders of the family, Dad says”
“Yes, but they would have more to
spend if they’d go a little slower,”
replied Aunt Emmy. “Every time I
see a woman falling for some silly
get-rich-quick scheme I think of the
nice things she could buy with the
money she is going to lose. If they’d
go slower—they’d get farther.”
“From what I know of the Slade
girls,” Molly began—but just then the
Slade girls themselves came in.
“We’re so sorry to be late,” they
apologized, “but we have been having
our first lesson in finance down at the
Trust Company. They are going to
give us quite a lot of time and explain
all the things we ought to know about
money to keep us out of financial
trouble.”
“Well, my dears, you are going to
the right school,” said Aunt Emmy.
“If every woman would do that there’d
be less trouble and more pretty things
for all of them.’’
