Much Good Done in Holland by
Raiffeisen Local Banks.

Economic Basis They Tide the
Peasant Proprietors Over
Hard Times.

The Hague.-Quite feature in the
country districts of Holland is the
local loan banks in aid of the peasant
ry. which have so materially contrib
uted to keep the people out of the
clutches of the usurers. 1t is to a
German, the mayor of small village
that this benefit is due.
The popularity called Water Raiffei

to which the small farmer is often re.
duced by poor seasons and other mis-.
fortunes, and how it is often impossi.

interest. He saw how the local trades.

tom elsewhere. and gradually he got
more and more entangled and saw his
debts mount up until his small farm
and his stock could no longer be called
his own. Then, on an evil day, every
thing would be sold for a small sum
to some insistent creditor, and the
peasant proprietor would be forced
back into the ranks of the farm la
borer.
Father Raefeisen, who loved his
Village children" thought deeply over
this problem. and conceived a scheme
by which they might be tided over
their difficulties
He began la a small way by organic
ing cooperative society for buying
cattle If, for example, the members OF
this society bought COW, they did not
have to pay the fun price at once, but
in small instruments He had so much
success with this that he soon was
able to organize a society on much
larger scale. which extended loans for
all agricultural purposes, The bene'

many demands for loans came in THAI
he determined to make some slight
alteration in his original plan and to

Soon the fame of the institution
spread abroad and his example was
widely followed, not only in Germany
but in Holland as well, while his own
name will live on in these organiza-

being, for they are everywhere known
as "Raiffeisen banks" The differences
between them and ordinary banks
are many While the idea OF bank

FINDS KIN AFTER 40 YEARS
Pennsylvania Man Gets Trace Of Rela-
tives in Spain After Many Years
of Searching,

Bristol. Pa.-For the first time In
40 years Joseph Kesiah of Bristol has
heard from his relatives in Spain. At
the age of II he was taken from the
fields in the town of Seron, province
of Almeria, and, unable to read and
write, was drafted in the Spanish
navy. From that day until this he
has been entirely without knowledge
of the condition or welfare of his par.
ents and seven brothers and sisters.
With his father he had been in the
business of raising sheep. and, being
in the interior of Spain, had never
seen the sea. Aboard ship for the
first time, he became horribly sick
and despised the life into which he
had been forced. His ship touched at
Havana, Cuba, and sailed for New
York. While at the latter city
Kesiah escaped and was given EN-
ployment in Spanish boarding house.
He stayed in New York seven or eight
years at various work, then went tC
Clifton Heights. Pa. and finally came
to Bristol. where he is now engaged
in the oyster business.
His story came out, and the Ameri-
can consul at Malaga, Spain, was com
municated with. The consul wrote to
the postmaster at the town of Seron,
from which Kesiah had come. and
through him family, Garcia by
name, was found. The consul ex-
planned that the name Garcia had
been corrupted. in all probability, into
Kesiah.
letter from one Jose Quesada
Garcia was inclosed in the consuls
letter, and this was read to Kesiah.
The writer, he said, was his brother
The Spanish letter stated that two of
the mans brothers and one sister had
died and added that those living were

CONVICT ALLEGES
CRUEL TREATMENT

Sensational charges as to treatment of
white convicts In Banner mines, operated
by the Pratt Consolidated Coal company,
are made in . suit for $4,000 damages
filed yesterday in the city court against
that company by D. w. Foster.
According to his attorneys. Hamill &
Savage, Foster is a white man sentenced
from Walker county and sent up on con-
viction of violation of the prohibition
law. He was fined, according to Mr.
Hamil, and sent to the mines In default
of payment He was among convicts
leased by an agent of the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal company and was con-
Wet at Banner mines from September l
to September 8.
Some of the allegations made as to the
treatment of Foster while at Banner
mines are to the effect that he was
"wrongfully. cruelty and inhumanely
treated was forced to work is hours a
day in cold. rainy weather without
proper shoes and without proper cloth
ing"
1t is further alleged that Foster was
caused to be beaten with a cruel and in
human instrument. nine-pound whip,
while he was forcibly held by two ne
groes, one sitting on his head and the
other on his feet"

PREPARES BILL FOR
FEEDING PRISONERS

The monthly bill for feeding the pris-
oners has been prepared by the sheriff
and will be sent to the state auditor Mt
Montgomery this morning The cost of
feeding the prisoners for the past month
was s247020 This would mean that one
man was fed s234 days, or that 1s. 4Gs
meals were fed the prisoners In the iail
during the past month Two meals are
valued at 30 cents. and 1924 meals at 30
cents amounts to se470. 20
During the past month there were 45i
prisoners taken in the Jail and there are
24s in jail at present. In the feed bin
712 prisoners are counted The above
figures do not show the full number of
prisoners that have been in the Jail, as
the sheriff does not get pay for feeding
some. and their names do not appear on
the feed bill
Every class Of prisoner has been In
generated in the Jail during the past
month" said Warden Chew last night.
| I'VE have all kinds and about all de-
scriptions. One has no idea OF the stream
of humanity that each month pours in
and out OF the county jail. There are
United States prisoners, county prisoners
and state prisoners going from one mine
to another. We handle larger number
of prisoners than any other county Jail
with the possible exception of the Mont
gomery jail. We are the central Jail OF
the state, and In the heart of the MINING

larger number than any other county
