Fila, sen.saer,nee.

Asking that a sentence Of three
years. in Jail imposed upon his father
be imposed upon him and that his
own sentence Of WI years In jail be
reversed to his father. a young man
broke down in the Criminal court In
Baltimore, Nd, one recent morning
and wept bitterly. The Judge com
piled with the prisoners unusual n
quest and the Lad seemed much re-
iieved when given the chance TO ex-
change sentences with his father, Civ
ing the elder man the benefit Of one
year. They were arrested some time
ago on a charge Of obtaining money
through bogus checks passed upon
t~obacconists and confectioners. Soy.
eral days ago they were convicted.
Touched by the loyalty Of his partner
in crime. the elder man asked that the
original sentence BE- adhered to, but
the Judge carried out the rsversal.

Demand Too Much.

AS a nation we are %intolerant OF
rest. II we have a brilliant mar. we
insist upon his always shining. We
want our rose bushes to bloom all the
year round. we would have our trees
all bearing fruit. and our suns always
shining. We kill three-fourths of our
truly great men in the prime Of life
by expecting and exacting too much
Of them. and then call the legitimate
results Of our forcing system a dis
pensation of Providence. Like tho
earth. minds must lie fallow at times.
Perpetual crops will exhaust any soil.
and perpetual excitement will wear
out any mind or body.-Waverly Maya.

The "houns' < were lonesome and
they welcomed company. They were
decoyed from the barn. tethered and
then the fun began. One of the dogs
was striped with white paint. The
others body was covered with white
spots.
It was late in the evening when Rev.
Brown, returning from a pastoral call.
took his horseto the barn. He opened
the door and the dogs ran out. In their
joy ut the return of their master they
ran between his ministerial legs and
upset him. Their they frisked and
gamboled over his PROSTATE body I'M
til the minister looked as if he, too,
had been given a coat Of white paint.
Rev Mr.. Brown was angry, but he
was angrieH still the next day when
he discovered that the .houn' daWgs'

GOOD OF CREDIT SOCIETIES
Value of Neigiaborhood Cooperative
Banks illustrated by Little In
cIdent In ireland.

Neighborhood cooperative banks are
familiar and in wide use in nearly
every country except America, writes
John NJ. Oskison in the Chicago News.
A recent visitor to Ireland told a
story which illustrates their value He
said:
Some years ago a woman in the
west of Ireland was left a widow with
several children. Some means for
self-support had to be found or she
must become recipient of charity.
She became member of co-opera-
tive bank in her neighborhood, bor-
rowed G12 and bought a COW. The
widow made her payments On the
loan monthly and at the end Of the
year the debt was discharged. Anoth-
er ELI was borrowed, and apother
cow bought. At the beginning Of the
following year a third cow was Sim
ilarly bought, and a son, who had hith-
erto been laborer on the estate OF
the proprietor, left work to help his
mother care for her small herd. Her
family was on its way to indeIend-
ence. All this may be found neatly
recorded in the books of the bank,
which are kept in the schoolhouses by
the village schoolmaster."
Any group OF people having perma-
nent interests and well known to each
other can furnish security better than
an individual can offer for a loan. So
for o. tho oc,nopo% two hor1r ;Joo 1.aa
cen developed, membership is restrict
ed to residents of a very limited area.
All members are liable for the debts
OF each, and every borrower must
show that the loan can be SO used that
1t will at least produce the amount
borrowed and interest at the regular
rate.
Although cooperative credit soci-
cites have been confined to agricul-
eural communities In Europe, there
seems to be no sound reason why they
should not flourish in the cities of this
country. Certainly the story of our
savings and loan societies. suggests
that our city neighbors can manage to
appraise the credit capacity of Dor
roWers.
The country is excellently served by
commercial banks. Our greatest short
comings are failing to provide credit
institutions for our small saIaried and
day workers who are ambitious, and
making borrowing by. farmers for legit-
innate purposes difficult.
1t is up to each community to tackle
the problem-there Is nothing compli-
Gated in 1t.

Lingerie robes, sweet little frocks
Of shantung with colored embroidery,
muslin garments, and the others Of
delaine, linen and zephyr, are all
alike in certain details. They are
narrow and they are fat, they will
pack without creasing and they take
up about as much room in travelling
case as a full grown bath towel.
Many Of the cheapest stuffs are
among the prettiest-take, for ex-
ample, striped or checked zephyr.
Some Of the checks are quite quaint
il black and white, combined with
lines Of blue and green, rose and
green, mauve and gray, green and
beige, the four tones being arranged
together like buster check. Stripes
are effective in shaded lines OF color,
with threads Of white. The popular
Ottoman effects are also shown in
this material Ia fine or pronounced
stripes Of color on white.

FARMING is FOR THE MANY
Providence Intended That Greatest
Number Possible Engage In Sc
curing Soil Wealth.

By PROF. THOMAS SHAW. Minnesota.)
Farming is for the many rather
than for the few. Providence and ma
ture intended that 1t should be SO.
Since the soil is the greaest source OF
wealth in the world, it was evidently
the design that the largest number
possible should share in this wealth.
The larger the number Of persons who
can be set to work to secure this
wealth, the better will 1t be for all
concerned.
It must be conceded by all fair-
minded persons that the prospect Of
owning small piece of land on which
to build house and from which to
win a livelihood is drawing card in
a much stronger sense than the pros
pect of simply remaining a farm la
borer and leading in a sense the life
of nomad all ones days. The owns
ership OF land is undoubtedly for the
many and not for the few.
