Interference.
FINANCIAL ARTICLE NO. S.
DO

We interfere with other financial in
stltutlons is the question often asked
We do not. us the system of loaning
by us Is strictly installment loaning
which the banks and private money
lenders do not care about doing. Our
money is placed on peoples homes and
business places ropayable part inter
est and part principal each month UNI
Ill the loan is fully paid OF. We offer
special Inducements to the small in
weston in this financial institution, and
Centralize small monthly payments
from a large number of people who
probably have never saved to amount
to anything before. The large sums
that we receive are from capitalists
who are tired of making fiat loans and
worrying with the bother and trouble
OF selling out the security which would
come back to them and are satisfied
that to have their money managed by
experienced financiers who guarantee
them against loss is much better than
investing their own money. No
money deposited with us can be
withdrawn within one year, for that
reason our proposition applies to peo-
pie who have made up their mind TO
deposit for certain number of years
If possible, and who would not on ac-
count of small interest rates offered
on call money, deposit with any regu-
larity through other sources. The
above sentence is not intended to con-
yey the meaning that interest on de-
posits for call money should be large.
In fact, the banks are paying today a
very liberal rate for money subject to
call, and it would be hazardous for
them to pay larger rates The question
for today to answer as per one of our
former articles Is, Why do you pay
larger rates of dividends than other
financial institutions do?

institution just the same as II you

The all white hat promises to be as popular as ever.
 A pretty lowered silk muslin in a black. white and green mixture was trimmed with heavy flounce of coarse guipure, which lace formed the entire upper part of the corsage. This had a smart band of black oriental satin. with two ends of the same inserted with lace motifs and a collar of gui- pure and black embroidery. This was very becoming with big black hat.
 The cut shows a velvet sailor hat having upturned sides. It is trimmed with white band and two punches of feathers. JUDIC CEOLLET,
 Modern furriers are turning the skins of some of the lowliest of the animals into things of warmth and beauty. Even the goat, it is said. will do duty this winter. Among these newer skins are pony and moIeskin. Squirrel is again in favor, beaver is fashioned into natty boleros and gold. en otter claims attention.
 Tassels and rich embroideries figure on muffs, pelerines and the trim coats with large sleeves.
 Sleeves have increased in size in all the fur models.
 Ermine and moleskin mixed is latest fancy. AMY vARNUy

Hats Are Smaller and Fit Closely to

Tn direct contrast to the three cor nered hats which are so popular in Paris very narrow oblong hats are again making their appearance
 Toques are not so high as it was pre- dicted they would be. although the jam pot crown Is revived in the picture hats. which are of enormous dimensions Some smart models are in two or three shades of brown velvet and satin mixed
 The most incongruous mixture is seen in black beaver hats with a trim ming of fine silk tulle.
 All hats fit closely to the head be hind. and the small hat or toque may be said to be universally becoming.
 Some of the close fitting hats show ruchings of velvet glace silk or panne.

| ton of the chemistry Of soils as relat-
ed TO the yield of crops. The results
indicate that practically all soils have
sufficient available plant food for nor
NAL crop yields, and that this supply is
constantly maintained through natural
agencies in the soils dissolving the ma
terial of the soil grains. The differ
ence in yield is dependent upon the
condition and kind Of cultivation and
rotation of crops, maintaining certain
necessary physical conditions in the
SOIL under which this plant food can be
used by the crop. A bulletin has just
gone to press giving the details of the
investigation, and discussing the in
fuence of climate, texture of soil, ro-
tation, fertilizers. and soil management
upon the yield of crops The work is
based upon analyses by new and ex-
ceedingly sensitive methods, by which
the amount of plant food in the soil
moisture itself, which is the great nu-
tritive solution for the support Of
crops, has been determined, and not
by digesting the soils in acids which at
tacK the inert mineral matter Of the
soils.
While the conclusions appear to be
in conflict with the opinions held for
so many years by agricultural chemists,
they are in strict conformity with the
experience of good farmers in all coun-
tries, and with actual facts which have
long been established by agricultural
chemists. The fertility of the soil is
thus shown to be due to physical
causes which control the supply of
water and plant food which it con-
tains, as the soil moisture in all cases
appears to be about the same in COM
position and concentration. The fertili-
ty is therefore controlled by a physical
cause, and a chemical examination Of
a soil can not be expected to indicate
the yield of a crop. 1t is believed that
a simple physical method will be de-
vised for determining the relative fer
tility of soils.

To avoid Hog Cholera.

DR.. Salmon, chief of the bureau OF
animal industry in the department OF
agriculture, lays down some primary
| principles to be observed in avoiding
hog cholera. He says:
THE first principle of TINS method Of
prevention is to breed only from ma
ture breeding stock which is only dis
family or not at all related. The sec
ond principle is to select, if possible,
animals for breeding stock which have
shown, by having passed through an
outbreak without having become af-
fected, that they possess a power of re-
sisting cholera. The third principle is
to feed the growing shoats upon va
riety of food which will lead to normal
and harmonious development of all the
different organs. The application of
these principles must be made by the
individual breeder in accordance with
his circumstances and surrounding con-
ditiOns. The breeding from mature ami
mails which are not closely related can
be easily adopted by anyone. The Sc
lection of stock which has shown that
it possesses a power of resisting the
disease is much more difficult, and in
many cases it will be impossible for
the general farmer, though there are
many breeders who could experiment in
this direction with profit

CROSS-CURRENTS.

The French government is about to
employ electric cables insulated with
paper as the result of successful expert
ments.
At the international congress of wire
less telegraphy, which recently met in
Berlin, the term "radiograms" was used
.or messages sent by the new method.
The term has the advantage of being de-
scriptive.
The electric discharge between two
vessels of mercury in a partial vacuum
is the most efficient form of artificial
lightning yet discovered. In a recent test
oy w. c. Geer, the mercury terminals
were about four-fifths of an inch apart.
and an arc of two inches in length was
produced by direct current of 10 volts
Nearly so per cent. of the energy sup
piled was converted into visible light
Turning to other lights, the Geissler tube
showed an efficiency of 80 per cent: the
ordinary arc lamp, ten; acetylene gas,
ten: the incandescent electric lamp, six,
and the Argand gas burner 16.
