In the state of Washington the Farmers Union has started a fight to force an amendment to the pro- posed postal savings bank law that will provide for making loans to farmers on land security at 8 per cent. As the matter now stands the deposits are to be loaned to banks at 2 3-4 per cent, who in turn would let the farmers have it at 10. Of course the banks will fight the pro- posed amendment. It would be al- together to paternalistic or socialis- tic or revolutionary for the govern ment of, for and by the people to really give a farmer as good a chance to get ahead as it does a money lender.

How Farmers Can Profit by Co Opera

A great deal is said about country wide cooperation among farmers, and every judicious effort along this line we heartily endorse. But farm CTS must learn to cooperate first with their neighbors and ia things of local interest. It is a far easier matter to unite with ones neigh bors in getting a system of good roads or in establishing a good school than it is to unite with hun dreds of farmers all over the Cotton Belt in establishing system of warehouses; and until we have learned to do the first, we can scarcely expect to be successful managing the latter. Good farming means, first of all, as we said in the beginning, the raising of good crops, the maintenance of the soil fertility, and good business judgment in dis posing of the farm products, but it also means the promotion of every movement for the upbuilding of the community. We need farmers to lead in such work as this just as much as we need farmers to demon strate by their work better methods of cultivation and farm manage ment. While the things can only be brought about by the whole con- munity, there must in each case be some one to lead the community to an appreciation of their value and to show how they may be accomplished. In practically every community there are men who are fitted for this work, and these men should count it the highest privilege of their lives to lead in the great forward movement toward more highly developed and more beautiful country life.- Starkville (Miss.)

We publish elsewhere in this issue the
remarks of game warden, which should
be Of interest not only to those interested
ii the preservation Of game, but to every
farmer and poultry raiser. The folly of
purchasing game birds and releasing
them for restocking purposes, as has been
done innumerable times in our own
county, is clearly shown. If our game
associations would devote their attention
to DOGS, and secure the passage of a
law imposing heavy tax and compelling
ali dogs to be kept from running at large,
al least during certain months Of the
year, they would come nearer accomplish
ing something looking to the preservation
of game than has yet been done, or ever
will be, as long as hundreds Of dogs are
allowed to roam at will, day and night,
about the country.

The Maryland State Woman's Suffrage
Association has prepared a bill, which is
to be presented at the present session of
the General Assembly, providing for an
amendment to the Constitution giving
Statewide suffrage to women. The
Amendment, in the event of its passage
By the Legislature, would be submitted
to the voters at the general election for
their adoption or rejection.
The bill makes it possible for women in
Maryland TO vote in all elections-mu-
nicipal, State and national. placing them
on identically the same footing as men,
as far as the elective franchise is con-
cerned. II was drawn by Miss Eta H.
Maddox. who was not only the first
woman TO be admitted to the bar, but
herself made the eight in the Legislature,
as result Of which women as well as
men may practice law in Maryland.

President Taft's much eralded special
message on Railrods and Trusts was sent
to Congress on Friday, but has been
fairly overshadowed by the bitter contro.
versy which is being waged by Secretary
Ballinger and Chief of the Forestry
Bureau Pinchot. The Chief Forester has
the people with him in his fight and
has succeed in placing the Cabinet Min
lister in such an uneuyiable light that
President Taft has been compelled to go
10 the aid of his Secretary by summarily
dismissing Mr. Pinchot from Office, or at
least having him dismissed.
Taking this controversy as political
weather-vane, the indications point to a
stormy session for the Administration, as
Taft has finally lined up with the Aldrich-
Cannon crowd in their efforts to suppress
the insurgents" while the insurgents
have won first blood and shown their
strength in skirmish in the House over
q resolution which had for its purpose the
virtual whitewashing Of the conservation
squabble by permitting Speaker Cannon
to select an investigating committee.
The House voted to select its own com
mittee and thereby gave Cannon his first
bump Of the session, with promise of
more to follow.

The Stomach Cannot Rest.

It is mistake to suppose the stomach
can rest and tAus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process beginssin,the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
testines. The salivary glands in the
month, the stomach, lower stomach, liver,
spleen. ETC., take part in the digestive
process. This process is.igoing on con
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for a few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatiu, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
Of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri
