Can't Export Laws.

No civilized country can confine it's
citizens within it's own territory or pro-
hibit all commercial intercourse with
other countries. Every country, there
fore, needs money which can be used in
purchase from and in payment of its
debts to other countries. Yet, howso-
ever absolute may be the power of its
government, it's laws can have no ex-
tra-territorial effect. No government,
therefore, can prescribe the standard
by which it's currency shall be valued in
any other country, or compel the citi-
zens of another country to receive its
currency save at the bullion value of
that currency in the markets of the
world.

The American Agriculturist, of April
4, again discusses editorially the zen
tire feasibility of cooperative banking
among farmers" ''This can be done"
it says, Shy slight notifications of the
system of cooperative savings fund and
building associations or cooperative
banks, which has proved SO remarkably
successful in American cities. These
institutions now hold over $500,000,000
of deposits and are a thoroughly demon
strated practical success. The Saxon
Land Credit association Ga report upon
which can be obtained by writing to
the secretary of state, Washington is a
modification of the Raiffeisen system,
which in Prussia and Germany has
achieved the same success among the
working farmers of those countries that
the cooperative banks have achieved in
our American cities. The peoples banks
of Italy and neighboring countries,
based upon much the same plan, have
had marvellous success. A report CIV
ing further particulars upon the Saxon
Land Credit association has been pub
lished by the department of state for
free distribution, in which Consular
Agent Peters says with truth that
can never be questioned:
'sWhat American farmers require TO re-
lieve them of the present financial strain
under which they are living is the power TO
borrow at the lowest possible interest con-
sistent with their securities and the imam
cial conditions in the great centers OF the
world So long as they must borrow from
the local money lender they must pay
high rate Of interest for accommodation.
1t is this high rate of interest under which
our farmers are now striving and falling
that is responsible for the general unrest
and dissatisfaction. Remove the high rate
of interest give them the same opportunity
to use their credit as men engaged in other
business, exchange the present mortgage
on the farm for one with a reasonable in
terest, which the farmer can pay and have
something left for the savings bank, and
we will restore happiness and prosperity.
1.-THE question has been solved by the
farmers and landholders Of Europe, and
the solution Of the problem did not con-
sist in the issue by the government of a
mass Of debased currency circulated
among the people at a fictitious value. The
end was reached by the farmers and land
holders by their own force and coopera-
ton, by the founding of associations which
in time became a power in the land and
whose financial strength was measured-by
millions of undoubted securities which

Ira N. Alexander the youngest OF family OF
fourteen children. was born I'm the town OF
Stockbridge Madison county, N. Y, August %,
1898. sOne hundred years prior to this date his
ancestors, being Scotch, emigrated from the
north of Ireland, (the Greedy and Davidson
families coming at the same time) and located
In New Hampshire. His grandfather, James
Alexander, was literally not native OF any
land. as he was born on shipboard, when his
parents were enroute for America
In 1917 In an OK cart drawn by two yoke OF
cattle, his parents moved into central New
York, and settled on land then owned by the
Indians They were two weeks making the
journey.
March 16. 1854 he was married to Elizabeth
Johnston, of Peterboro, N. Y. son was born
to them Feb 12, 1885. The same day death
claimed both child and mother.
In 1858 he married Mary T. Johnston, sister Of
his first wife. Two children were the fruit of
this union, VIM. f., Of Bennington, and Carrie
E., now the wife of Rev. A. s. Teadman, Of
Judd's Corners.
The winter OF 1870 death again entered his
home and robbed it OF the wife and mother.
Hoping to give his children better advantages,
in the spring OF 1873 he sold his hilly, rocky
farm in central New York, and made quite an
extended western trip in quest of q new home.
The same year he married Annah Mathewson
OF Fremont, this county, and in the autumn
moved his family to Michigan, settling on the
farm in Owosso township, where he died Sun

He was not communicant of any church but
had saving faith in the one who twas a man
of sorrows and acquainted with grief" From
a financial point of view his life was failure
but as kind and loving husband and father,
one who never thought of self but always of the
comfort and happiness of those about him, it
was sublime success. He left his descend.

AN OWOssO LADY NARRATEs HER
EXPERIENCE.

From the american, NetOdrk, Ohio.
Mrs. Fulmer is the wife Of Mr.. George
Fulmer, the well-known building mover, of
Owosso, Michigan, whose remarkable re-
covery from rheumatism some time ago was
lately the subject of gossip, and some
argument among group of newspaper men
at Owosso
The reporter Of the Daily american went
over to interview the lady herself at her de-
lightful residence 900 Ada Street, and found
Mrs. Fulmer perfectly ready, and indeed
desirous of giving all the information she
could, and she related in substance the fol-
lowing:
"D1ring the winter of 1929, became
very much affected with rheumatism, which
settled in my right arm and shoulder. 1t
was not great while before / entirely lost
the use of my right arm and the pain was ex-
cruciating.
at was Dr.. Williams Pink Pills that
cured me-you can tell your friends that on
my authority. ] read of them while was
so i'll, and got six boxes, if | remember
rightly. My arm at that time felt as though
there was an iron band clasping il near the
shoulder, which seemed to grow tighter and
tighter and the pain nearly drove me wild.
IL was not many days after / began to take
the pills that rheumatism, and iron band
and all disappeared, and ! have never felt
the least twinge of pain since and that is
four years ago."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt
of price, 30 cents box, or six boxes for
$3.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by the
1O0), by addressing DIR. Williams Medicine
