ALONG THE INDIAN FRONTIER
pie, but Are Most HospitabIe to
Travellers.

Hidden in the mountains on both
side of the frontier road are villages
of Kachlns, wild and warlike race
which causes much anxiety to the Chi
nese and to the peaceful Shans inhab-
iting the neighboring valleys writes
Archibald Rose, British consul at
Yunan, China, in an article describ-
ing the Chinese Frontier of India"
"The men are keen looking fellows,
who spend their days in sharpening
their dhas, or long two handed swords,
their nights in drinking and in har-
rying the marches. The burdens OF
life are literally borne by their wom-
en- folk, long trains of whom are met
along the roads, carrying on their
backs great baskets of grain depend
ing from a strap across their fore
heads, while their hands are busy
spinning strands of cotton yarn, or
weaving a straw bracelet for their
sweethearts, as they toll up the noun
tain slopes. They wear short kilt,
supported by numbers Of loose rat
tan girdles, the lobes of their ears are
pierced and distended to carry long
tubes Of silver or rolls of red cloth,
and their faces are coarsened by
hard times.
They are hospitable to people, these
Kachins, offering a welcome to any
passing traveller without question or
hope of reward. This spirit Of hos
pitality, indeed, is carried to point
which might almost be considered ex-
travagance. l remember case at a
recent frontier meeting in which a
TRANSFORMER Kachin appeared as the
complainant. He had accepted an in
vitation to dinner, dined not wisely,
but too we'll, and fallen down a preci-
pice on his way home.
"The result was broken leg, and,
In consequence, he now appeared in
court to sue his host for damages.
The erring host paid up quite cheer
fully, and the international incident
was thus amicably settled over the
body of sacrificial pig"

The construction Of poultry house
Is one of the most important consid-
erations in poultry keeping. Fowls
are extremely susceptible to certain
diseases which are often traceable to
poorly constructed poultry houses.
For this reason, the house should be
dry, cheerful, we'll ventilated and
sanitary.
There are large number of people
in the cities and villages of Ohio who
keep a small flock of fowls in the
back yard or on vacant lot. There
are also many farm boys and girls
who would like to have a small flock
of fowls for their own pleasure and
profit, and separate from the farm
flock To meet this need, the writer
has planned a house which meets the
requirements noted above and at the
same time is economical of construc-
tion and neat in appearance.
The house is constructed in such a
manner that it can easily be taken
apart and stored in a barn or shed
when not in use. 1t has the added ad
vantage that it can also be used as a
brooder house by the addition of one
or two adaptable hovers.
The house is supported by two Iun
ners 2 in. K 6 in. x ft. and five sleeI

East Liverpool - With a poker,
Fred Attel beat his wife to death
at Frankfort Springs, Pa, twelve
miles southeast of here, and then
with knife slashed his own
throat in an attempt at suicide.
Witnesses to the murder were At

sick in bed with typhoid fever, and
Eddie, ten, who tried in vain to pre-

that he believed his wife, who he
had married a year ago, disliked her
stepchildren, and had tried to poison
Bertha. The police placed no cred
ence in this statement. Attel's first
wife committed suicide three years
ago by shooting herself.

our business is done with credit instru- ments. the problem of providing for ac- tual currency is of importance. Every year at havest time the west and south need something like S2oe,oo00oo in ae- tual money to move the crops. In the sections many people da not have bank accounts. When the corn and wheat and cotton are sold by the farmers they must have cash. This seasonal demand for cash in the west and south draws down the cash In bank vaults. and especially in New York. where the surplus cash reserves are carried between the harvests.

Overlooking the mere question of the money involved in this tribute to European banks, we ought, as matter of national pride, to provide our banks with means of financing our own foreign commerce.
 That a reform of our banking and cur rency laws is imperatively needed is not to be questioned. The only obstacle to, this reform is the fear on the part Of many good Americans that the proposed cooperative association might be misused by politicians or by the monied interests.

 Modern business is done on credit nine-tenths of it. The banks provide the machinery of credit. A sound bank ing system, therefore, is of vital im- portance in great commercial nation like ours. -ts''t.
 Credit enters enormously into modern commerce because of the large scale production of goods a long time ahead of their consumption.

The $500 that, the man in Texas pays the country storekeeper for the pair of shoes is in the last analysis the pay ment for the manufacture of the shoes in the New England factory, But the manufacturer cannot wait for his money until the shoes are sold down in Texas.

Idle Funds Drift to Wall Street


 One of the worst faults of our Ameri- can banking system is that we have neglected to develop d market for com great flood of money pours into the banks and finds its way to New York where now the final banking reserves of the nation are iiesd The New York bankers must put iniss money at work They must put it where fl can be re- called on shortnotiee. when it is again needed by the resIvof the country. The only big call loan market New York bank CTS have for lending money is the stock exchange. The result of this is that there has developed a dangerous system of loaning a large part of the surplus cash reserves of the nation on the speculative exchanges.
 Many good Americans believe that the New York banks encourage speculation rom choice. This is not true. The New York banks loan ehe countrys s money to speculators because, under our preseni system. they have no other means of putting the money at work. Tho prac- tice is most dangerous and finds a parallel ia nosother country. In Europe commercial paper Is made the chief basis of loans. and the speculative eS- changes play q comparetnely small part in the loan market. In reforming our banking system. we must create Il broad market for commercial paper. as theyf have done in Europe, in order that the surplus money of the eonntrs will go first to business and afterwards to speculation.

People of all shades of opin- ion are agreed that our new. banking laws should provide for an automatic expansion and contraction of the cur rency.
 Paying Tribute to Europe
 A great defect in our banking system is our present dependence on Europe for the financing of our foreign trade. We are now doing $4,0coeo0.00O trade a year with
