New York, May S.-Mrs Russell
Sage, "the grand old woman of
American philanthropy" has but
short time to live. She has been i'll
al! winter, and is now confined to her
Fifth avenue home under the care of
doctors and nurses, and can be seen
only by members of her household.
1t has been six years since her hus-
band intrusted to her keeping $780,
100000. Now in her eighty fourth
year, she sees completed with the
money that Russell Sage couldn't take
with him, her great plans for social
betterment. Her philanthropies sweep
from ocean to ocean. She has created
the Sage Foundation, which through
all time will go on doing its great
work to help humanity to help itself.
She has seen a city of beautiful
homes spring from the waste land at
Forest Hills, l.. /. She has dealt q
crushing blow to loan sharks, and has
given thousands of children their
rightful heritage of health and hap
piness. Of play and the chance to grow
and learn.
-All my life 1 have wanted to help
people" Mrs. Sage once said. There
are two meanings to charity. The per-
feet gift carries love both in the Civ
ing and the receiving. The forced
miseries of life are the ones / would

BE ENTHUSIASTIC FOR
THE INTERSTATE FAIR,

enthusiasm is a wonderful motive
power. II is splendid for starting
things. But 1t doesn't always keep
them going. II is just like all other
power. 1t needs to be conserved. And
the only way to do this is to keep the
engines well fueled and well oiled.
To<be efficient enthusiasm must be
be kept up.
1t isn't enough TO start off a grand
fanfare Of trumpets-to keep things
going merrily the music must keep
playing. and you must keep time al
along the way.
This Is a good month to begin your
Fair enthusiasm. But don't forget that
you must keep 1t up all summer II
We are to make a success of the Fair
next fall.
Very soon the Fair premium lists
will be sent out and already Miss
Fannie Caldwell. the capable manager
OF the Woman's Department, has
started the work of her department.
Miss Caldwell is one whose enthusi-
asms do not wane-that Is the reason
she accomplishes results.
Every woman in Pensacola should
put on her thinking cap and decide
that she is going to enter something
at the Fair. And when she decides
just what she will enter, she should
set herself to work to see that ii is
the very best Of it's kind.
Are you going to help make the Fair
a success this year? And IL not, why
not?

ARTICLES ON
RURAL CREDITS
ARESENT OUT
SECRETARY OF COMMERCIAL AS
ISOLATION HAS JUST PRE-
PARED THIRD OF A SERIES OF
ARTICLES WHICH ARE BEING
PUBLISHED IN VARIOUS PA
PERS IN WEST FLORIDA.

Secretary Leland ]. Henderson. of
the Pensacola Commercial Association
has prepared a series of articles on
the subject of rural credits, which he
is sending to the various papers pub
lished in West Florida, asking that
they be published. The articles are to
give information about the proposition
which is now under way to select a
member of the national commission
which, under the auspices of the
Southern Commercial Congress. will
go to Europe next month for the pur-
pose of making a study of the systems
in those countries.
1t is the intention and plan of the
Commercial Association to select a
member of this commission from
West Florida and it is in the interest
of this movement that the articles are
being sent out for publication
The article reproduced below is the
third of the series and has just been
mailed to the various papers:
In conducting cooperative rural
credit organizations. it soon became
apparent that combinations for conf
mon purposes was necessary. The
need was two-fold: one to direct the
movement and give it uniformity; the
other was central institutions which
might equalize the need OF credit of
the individual concern.
"Federations" were formed for the
first and central institutions" for the
second.
The declarations Of cooperative So
| cieties are unions formed for propa-
ganda, education, and mutual defense
They embrace not only rural credit So
cieties, but rural cooperative societies
of every kind.
In Germany, one society, the Ma
tional Federation of Dormstadt, en-
| braces a very large majority of the
| German agricultural cooperative So
cieties. In 1910, 924 of the co-opera-
| tive societies were in the national fed
Grafton.
The central institutions: Between
| these and the declarations there is nc
confusion of functions, but they mu-
| tually support one another. The CEN
| trail banks undertake the provision 81
capital for the rural banks and the
| utilization of their surplus funds, wher
| they have any, always keeping il
| touch with the corresponding fedora
| ton, to which they are usually linked
| by the fact that the same person:
manage the business of both institu-
| tions. Further, the central banks, a:
! a rule, only admit Cooperative so
cieties which already belong to the
federation of their province. The liza
bility is limited.
Broadly speaking. the central insti.
buttons fulfill the same functions fo
| the rural societies which the rural so.
| cieties fulfill for their members.
The important part of the working
capital is formed by deposits of tn,
members. The working capital of thu
| German central institutions in 100.
was 713 per cent deposits Of tn
| members.
Loans are made to the co-operativ,
societies in advance, on current &C
counts. or for fixed periods. Most o
the capital is used to loan to tn
members, the remainder is invested il
| securities.
