Prosperity gains friends and
adversity tries them. Advertise

A. writer in an agricultural
publication estimates that in the
states of Missouri, Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas the straw
pile loss is $12,540,000 annually.
Burning of the straw is not the
only loss, as the stacking, or pil

it must occupy space for from
one to three or more years an

alone $1,672,704.
UMBURGER GOES
A LONG WAY
(Indianapolis News:) Uncle
Jasper over his strenuous protest
had been prevailed on the taste
some limburger cheese. It was
never clear to him how anything
could have the limburger odor
and still be fit for food but he
thought this might be olfactory
prejudice. So he tried to arrive
at an unbiased verdict. But it
was no use. He simply could not
forget the-odor. So after rolling
the sample about in his mouth
for a moment, he decided to part
with it: . Being familiar with the
process of parting with an ex
hausted chew of scrap tobacco,
he spat the cheese adroitly into
his hand and cast it through an
open door. Sticking his thumbs
in the armholes of his vest, and
than said : ' 'I have often wound
ered what it was upon which the
Lord fed the multitude, and I
think it must have been limburg
er cheese, for certainly a little oí
that would go further in a big
crowd than anything I eyer tasted."
OIL PROGNOSTICATIONS
Wildcatmg in Northwestern
Missouri Discussed by United
States Geological Survey.
The almost insatiable demand
for gasoline and other petroleum
products seems to increase as
fast as new oil pools can be dis
covered. Even the present
slump in the oil industry of this
country on account, of the Euro
pean was has failed wholly to
check the skirmish line of the
wildcatters. One of the regions
of the invasion is northwestern
Missouri. Advancing from the
big pools of Oklohama northeast
ward across southeastern Kan
sas, where pools of modest pro
duction were found long ago, the
wildcatter is now testing the
ground in Missouri in the region
of Leavenworth, Kans. Hereto
fore, the few tests made in nor
thwestern Missouri have not met
with every good results. Now,
in order to reduce the number of
failures as far as possible, the
drillers have asked the advice of
the Missouri Bureau of Geology
and Mines and the Uhited States
Geological Survey, which not
long ago completed a joint ex
amination of the regoin. In re
sponse the geologists have pre
pared an advance statement to
the effect that conditions special
ly favorable for the occurrence
of a strong pool have not . been
found in the Leavenworth and
Smithville region, though the
geologic structure at several
points which they mention is
considerably better than at
others. -According to their state
ment there would appear to be a
fighting chance of finding oil or
gas in small quantities in this re
gion, though, far from finding
another great Glenn pool, the
driller must not be surprised if
he gets nothing more than a
showing of oil and gas.
CREDIT BUREAU
That a Central Credit Bureau
would be created in Washington
D. C, and that it would elimin
ate Clafin-like business failures
in the United States, were the
predictions cf William McC. Mar
tin, chairman of the federal Re
serve Bank of St Louis, at a din
ner of the St. Louis Credit Man's
Association. Bankers from more
than a dozen Illionis and Missouri
towns were among the 315 per
sons present. President J. W.
Chilton presided.
"This bureau could keep close
tab on all the commerical paper
rediscounted by federal reserve
banks, and thus could know
whether any certain individual
or corporation is too far extend
ed in credits." Martin said.
"The bureau would be part of
the federal reserve system. 1
"Besides this 'eye,' which
would chiefly watch the larger
business house, to prevent them
from taking chances by borrow
ing too much money, there would
be a closer scrutiny of the stores
of country towns. The burden
of eyeing these stores would be
shifted largely from the shoulders
of local -country bankers. Busi
ness house failures should become
almost obsolete, with bankers to
prevent the concerns from tak
ing dangerous financial steps.
"Drafts are likelv to prove the
death of open accounts. When
a Washington avenue house sells
to a Little Rock concern here
after, it is apt to draw a draft
on the buyer for the amount of
the bill instead of entering the
amount on its books and caning
it there for sixty days.
"The wholesale house will take
the draft to its bank, and have
it discounted. Then the house
can have the proceeds for imme
diate use in its business. The
bank will send the draft to trie
Federal Reserve Bank to be redis
counted. "Another pleasant way of sell
ing goods will be to receive cash
instead of a request for credit on
the books. The Little Rock mer
chant will go to hisbank and bor
row $5000 for sixty or ninety
days to buy St. Louis made goods
just as under the draft plan, and
the burden of watching the busi
ness methods of the Little Rock
concern will be shifted from the
St. Louis wholesale house to the
Little Rock banker.
"Even if the Little Rock bank
if down to the dead line on its
reserves and is short of cash for
counter purposes, it can quickly
obtain the $5000 for it3 customer.
It need only send the customer's
note to the Federal Reserve Bank.
with a statement showing it has
arisen out of an actual business
transaction, and the $5000 in bank
notes will be forthcoming.
" Other advantages of the re
serve system will be the ending
of violent fluctations in interest
rates, the ending of the tribute
paid Europeau banks by Ameei-
can importers, and gathering of
reliable credit information by
agencies of the federal reserve
system in South America."

Mrs. McClain's Experience With
Croup.
"When my boy, Ray. was small
he was subject to croup, and I
was always alarmed at such
times. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy proved far better than
any other for this trouble. It
always relieved him quickly. I
am never without it in the house
for I know it is a positive cure
for croup, writes Mrs. W. K.
McClain, Blairsville, Pa. For

Another VorlcTs Record
300 Miles Without a Stop at an Aver
age Speed of Over 80 Miles an Hour
HAT is the wonderful record of
Barney Oldfield on Firestone
Tires at the famous Corona, Cali
fornia, Race Thanksgiving Day.
It is by far the greatest no-stop record on any
road or track in the history of motor car racing.
Think of the terrific heat nearly four solid
hours of the relentless grinding at this torturous
speed. Twenty cars were in the race, but Old
field was the only driver who did not stop for
tire changes.
TIRES
less than three weeks previous to the
Corona Victory got the First, Second and
Third honor in the Los Angeles-Phoenix
Race and First place in the El Paso-Phoenix
Event. These two races, known as the
"Cactus Derby," put tires to a grueling test of over
1200 miles of unfrequented, rough mountain trails
and burning desert sands. Here all nature's wild
est forces were encountered, but Firestone, already
World Victorious, stood the test by winning these,
the greatest road races ever run.
This constant piling up of victory upon victory,
year after year, is significant.
This wonderful strength is built into every Firestone
Tire the saine heat resistance, the same fighting endurance. I
The reason is in the making in the abundance of
good rubber and the strongest fabric built into a staunch
.unit by the exclusive method of Firestone master workmen.
For your safety and saving, every day, you should
demand Firestones '
The Colossus of Roads
Built in América.' Largest Exclusive Tire Plant
Right now, as winter approaches, is the time
to equip with Firestone Non-Skids. Insist on
them for your safety and peace of mind.

The Great Money Savers Of The World
in the last twenty-five years have been the Frene middle
class.
This has been accomplished by the most rigid self
denial, and the doing without of luxuries which are consider
ed necessary comforts by Americans of the same class.
The Frenchman cut his garment of daily needs accord
ing to the cloth of his earning ability, and sees to it that
there are good big generous scraps left for the rainy day
account.
Americans may well learn a lesson from their thrifty
neighbors across the sea. In this land of plenty everyone
can be laying by something, even if it be a very little.
Start an account today and enjoy watching it growth.
