TO FINANCE THE FARMERS.

1t is most interesting suggestion
which Mr.. Taft makes in his letters to
the Governors of the different States,
rushed into print this morning, for the
establishment of agricultural credit sys-
TENS operating through land mortgage
banks, and cooperative mortgage bond
societies. Germany has long operated
such system to the great advantage
of her farmers.
The aim is to secure for our own
farmers the Sc, 600, 600, 600 they have to
borrow each year at rate of interest
from to 5 per cent, instead of the
per cent which they now pay. 1t sup
plies to the farmer the machinery for
financing his business just as that of in
dustrial corporations is financed.
1t is only preliminary and partial re-
port from Ambassador Herrick which
has been made upon it. 1t has yet to
be featured in detail. The singular
thing is that Mr.. Taft should break out
with this appeal for it. The States
must act if action is taken at all, and
the Governors can do nothing in con-
nection with it at this time But the
farmers of the country realize it was
Taft who snuffed out the Country Life
Commission which was established by
Roosevelt for this very field. And
Taft's promotion of jug-handled rec-
procity with Canada was a blow the
farmers remember in the keenest way.
If Taft had any chance of election at
all, one might think that his rushing
this report into print, from Beverly
while the campaign is on, was bid for
support from farmers. Boston Jour

VERMONT MAN KILLED.
w. r. Harrington of Brandon, Auto
Victim in South Dakota.

Brandon, Oct. II. William Reynolds
Harrington, youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. H. harrington, met with fatal
accident while automobiling in Big Stone
City, South Dakota, Wednesday evening
and remained in an unconscious condi-
ton until Thursday morning, when he
died. William R. ray Harrington was
born in Brandon on January l, 1881, and
was graduated with honors from the
Brandon high school, the University of
Vermont, and the Boston University
Law school. He was admitted to the
Vermont bar but was obliged to abandon
his profession because of his health,
which demanded an outdoor life. His
health finally improving, he took a
position with the Gold Securities Co. in
Big Stone City, South Dakota, last May
and was connected with the mortgage
loan department of that firm, with
whom in legal and business way he
had realized the promise of a successful
career. Mr.. Gold is accompanying the
body home.
The funeral services were held at the
house, Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Earring
ton was a member of the Congrega-
tional church, St. Paul's lodge, No. rs,
F. and A. NJ, Neshobe grange and
Dunmore hose company.

The FIRES h m an Banquet.

Chaperoned by Professor and Mrs.
Cady, and accompanied by many upper
cassmen and a few sOphomores, the
class of 1916 went to Rutland for their
banquet. In previous years it was u.s.
ually well understood who the president
was, though his identity was kept
secret. The class of '16, however,
in some way kept the rest of the
students guessing and it was not until
the afternoon of October 10th that
Arthur j. Mott of Bristol was known to
be at the head of his class. Miss
Roberta Arnold is vice-president;
l. Glenn Anderson, treasurer; Miss
Anna Fisher, secretary. A number of
encounters between some of the more
fiery-tempered members of the two
classes particularly interested in the ban
quet occurred during the week before.
"A rather spectacular scrap" resulted
when some inquisitive "sophs" at
tempted to eavesdrop about the windows
of the Physics room in which the Fresh
men were holding a meeting. Some
panes of glass were broken and quite
an amount of yelling. The afternoon
of the banquet the freshmen met at the
station ready to take the train to Rut-
land.
They were almost all at the banquet,
only few being unable to get away
from the sophs. The banquet COM
mittee of Messrs. Gilmore, Bruce, Nc
Closkey, Misses Fisher, Myers and
Bosworth arranged what some of the
upper classmen call 1.-THE best feed
ever" The following toasts were
given, Donald w. Salisbury being

City Building Notes
by j. A. Arnold


Apply the oil of progress to
the old town and watch her
grow.
It's all right to look down on a
city providing it's from the roof
of a ten story building.
Don't sit idly by and watch
the city 20 to rack and ruin.
Jump in and help push the
wheels of progress out of the
rut.
Some towns have growing
pains caused by the Indifference
of it's citizens.
A live town has a welcome"
sign displayed on the public
square.
Lack of system and co-opera-
ton has caused the ruin of many
men. Lack of team work has
retarded the growth of many
cities.
Texas merchants journey TO
eastern markets not because
they can buy goods cheaper but
becuse they think they can.
In order to properly develop
the vast resources Of Texas; rail
road outlets should dot this state
like a myriad of stars.
Trade centers develop a sec
tion faster than any other means
but business goes hand in hand
with transportation facilities. so
boost for that steam or electric
line proposition.
Uneasy lies the town that has
no commercial organization.
Our Motto: Civic beauty in
the town and home. Cleanli-
ness the watchword and whole
someness the result. "
Insects are the greatest enemy
to crops.
Politeness, courtesy, willing
ness to be helpful and accom-
modating, friendliness are some
times considered small things
and a waste of time where
rush for money getting is the
great problem. This is a mis-
take, for when all the citizens
Of a town or city combine to-
gether to exhibit these traits,
especially to strangers, it will be
found one of the greatest draw
ing cards to business and in
vestors. One of the strongest
reasons why visitors and
will like such a place
is because everybody there
seems so friendly and obliging. "
