THE INTEREST BURDEN.

In pointing out the high inter-
est charges to which the average
American farmer must submit
when he borrows money on his
property B. F.Yoakum, tells by
way of contrast, the story of the
wonderful Raiffersen system, by
which the small agriculturist in
Germany, France, Switzerland,
Italy, England, Denmark, India,
and even in Greece and Egypt,
can secure enough money to tide
him over tight place or to make
permanent improvements on his
farm, with little future incon-
venience to himself and no pres
ent trouble to any one else. In
the German empire, in 1909, un-
der the purely rural system, about
twelve thousand little country
banks did business of approx
mately 1864, 100000 at an ave.
rage interest rate of less than 5
per cent. A very large part of
this lending was done on current
account, much of it without any
security except the promise to
pay. That is the concrete state
ment of the business as it exists
today.
According to Mr.. Yoakum' s fig
ures, 1.-THE total number Of farms
in the United States is about six
million. The average farm has a
mortgage debt of $500 and a cur.
rent debt Of about the same
amount outstanding against it.
This makes a total indebtedness
CT more than six billion dollars.
"The rate of interest paid on
this tremendous volume Of Dor
rowed capital is between 8 and
~ per cent. per annum.
"The annual interest bill, there
fore, paid by the farmers, is about
$51O,OOO,OOO. The total value Of,
the wheat crop Of the United
States AZ Of Decemhep /, 1911,
farm value, was $543, 100000.
Practically, the interest account
Of the farmers ate up the total
wheat crop of the entire country"
The difference between the
Unta States and the countries
Mr.. Yoakum refers to is that their
banking systems do not favor
speculation at the expense of le-

trace of little Robert Dunbar
who disappeared at Swayze Lake
last Friday, has been found, al.
though the woods have bene thor.
oughly searched, and the lake
dynamited and dragged. The
straw hat he wore when last seen
never has been found, and per-
sons who aided in the hunt for
the little fellow say that had he
fallen into the lake the hat would
certainly have risen to the SIR.
face, and if he had wandered into
the thick underbrush in the To-
callty his hat or some part of his
clothing would certainly have
been discovered. Under the cir
cllmstances many persons believe
that he might have been kid
mapped for the purpose of get ing
a reward for his return.
The business men of this city
to-day made up a purse 70 $1,000
which they offer as a reward for
the return of the little fellow to
his parents alive. The money
has been deposited in the Plant
ers' National Bank and will be
paid over and no questions asked
if he is delivered to his partnts.
Posters will be distributed
throughout this section tomorrow
morning announcing this fact.

THE MOOSE ENTERTAIN.
MENT,

Last Sunday was a gala day in
New iberia, the occasion being
the entertainment by the Moose
Lodge of New iberia, (which was
recently organized here) and
which is composed of the best cit
liens of the City. Promptly at
o'clock p. M, the Lodge men,
bers marched from their Hall in
the Pythian building and formed
into a column headed by the New
iberia Brass Band with Mayor
Power and Mr.. jules Dreyfus as
invited guests seated in a cab
when they were driven to the
Southern Pacific depot to meet
the excursions from New Orleans,
Lake Charles and other points
east and west. After the excur-
stonists disembarked from the
trains with banners Of the differ
ent Lodges. Vie parade moved
to iberia Park when the festivi-
ties began. Besides the series o.
amrsements arranged by the COM
mittae for the amusement OF the
excursionists and guests two
splendid games Of baseball were
pulled off, one by Junior team
Of Jeanerette with the like team
here, the iberia hoys winning
with q score Of six to nothing.
The other game was between the

AT the suggestion of the Po-
Ice Jury the Secretary's Office will

sessions of the Police Jury will
be held there, we are unable TO
state. it strikes us very forcibly
that the Parish property on st.

ing place could BE-, sold and the
amount used to overhaul the
Court House. AS this valuable
property looks at the present
I time it is certainly not credit
to the Parish seat. Let some
thing be done to beautify the
building as well as the grounds,
action having already been taken
by the Police Jury to improve
the yards, why not at least give
the old building coat of paint.
In Distressing the condition of
the tracks of the Trolley line with
General Manager Crosby yester-
day, he informed us that he is
expecting two ear loads of Tioga
gravel that was ordered fifteen
days ago and as soon as it ar
rives will proceed to improve the
roadbeds along Main Street from
the Post Office to the upper limits
Of New Iberia. Had not the
City authorities made provision
for the construction Of Model
Road from the lower limits to
the Post Office the Southwestern
Traction and Power Company
would never have allowed their
tracks in East End to get in the
soggy condition that it is in at the
present time and unless the Con-
tractor of the Model Road begins
this work at an early date the
Southwestern Traction Co, will
be compelled to proceed with their
own improvements. The tracks,
like the public roads would never
have been in their present con-
dit;0n but for the unprecedented
rains that have fallen the past
summer. However, we hope
something will be done at an early
date to correct the evil. With
reference to the contract which
has been signed by Mr.. johnson
for the erection Of the Model Road
we cannot say who is to blame
for the delay in the work, but
somebody Is at fault and the
property holders along Main
Street are becoming impatient. II

$5,0o0 Fire Loss

Close upon the departure of the fire apparatus from the Royal Equipment Co.,. Inc, 414 Housatonic avenue, where 8 stock and treatment shed was destroyed yesterday afternoon an alarm called the ire department to The Frank Miller Lumber Co, where a sawdust bin had ignited. Damages suffered by the lumber company amounted to little. Damage to the Equipment company will probably reach $5,000. At this plant a shed containing a good deal of inflam- mable chemicals was enveloped in flame. A leaking gas pipe or the ex- ploeion of one of the company's ma chimes is believed to be the cause. The building was completely gutted and most of the stock and material for the manufacture of the Raybestos brake bindings was lost.
 Joseph Alegra, an Italian employe. was burned quite badly about the forearms and hands. It was at first reported that two other employees had been injured but this was found to be untrue.
 The fire in the sawdust bin at The Miller Lumber company gave the fire men little trouble. Four streams of water were turned into the bin and the fire was soon squelched.
