Financing the farmer is at tracting a great deal of atten- ton just now. our worthy Pres ldent having discovered that the American farmer is oh- hged to pay nearly double the interest rate upon his borrow ingS as compared wth that eN- acted in France and Germany on no better security. Probab- ls interest rates here continue to reflect the condition Of some years ago, when the ban ker who had loaned small sum on the security of a val s;able herd of cattle might have only bleaching bones to show for 1t by spring time. Conditions have now changed, farm lands are excellent secur ity for loans, and it is signifl- cant that the ratio of automo- piles to population is highest in the agricultural states of the Middle West. As has been re- marked. the farmer does not deprecate the high cost of liS- ing, since he is furnishing the living.

automobile, for instance, swerve from
it's course and run towards precipice
over which it. falls, is not held re-
sponsible for the disaster. Yet he
foresaw what would take place before
it really happened. In somewhat
similar manner, God, Who maps out
the course for each one and puts him
under the guidance of free will, may
foresee that such a one will not keep
in the straight and narrow way, but
will swerve from the path and run
over the precipice of sin and be lost,
and yet He cannot be held responsible
for the outcome. 1t does, therefore,
make great deal of difference what
kind of life one leads for upon ones
own exertions an eternity depends;
and the reward or punishment is ap-
portioned by God with full knowl-
edge of the kind of life which the in
dividual lived. If one is lost not
withstanding the means of salvation
given by God he has no one but him
self to blame. Sin, and sin alone,
can exclude him from salvation. He
becomes a ,reprobate through his own
fault and not through any desire or
act on the part of God.

LEPERS Of HAWAII
Their Number and the Equipment Of
the MoIokai Settlement.

Public sentiment over the islands
has always supported the Government
in carrying out the law concerning
lepers; official activity, although some
what varying, has, on the whole, made
fair progress; at times political inter-
ests have not been entirely favorable,
says a writer from Hawaii in the
Catholic press of Sydney, Australia.
The first home at Kalawao, for or
phan boys and helpless men, was be-
gun in 1886, under Father Damien,
with a few old cabins at first, two
large buildings being added in 1878,
all irregular and provisional. The
as home January 1, 1889. Three
Franciscan Sisters came to this Kala-
wac Home, May Is, 1890, and the
Mother Superior visited it occasional
ly. In 1924 the present Baldwin
Home was constructed, and put into
use in May and June, 1894 The Sis
tiers were replaced, December 1, 1895,
by four Brothers of the Picpus Order
Up to 1910 the home had, including
those still living, 976 inmates The
Board of Health has always employed
an experienced physician and other
officials for the settlement.
For many years the Hawaiians had
strange ideas about regular physi-
clans. Very few would call for one,
and this continued at the settlement
up to about 1902. They would how
ever, always take medicine from the
Brothers or Sisters.
In 1906 the buildings owned by the
Government numbered 298; those
owned by private parties numbered
791; of these, 693 were Hawaiians, AZ
Chinese, 26 Portuguese, Americans,
5 Japanese, 6 Germans, 2 South Sea
Islanders, Dane, 1 French Canadian,
l Swede, 2 Porto Ricans, 1 Filipino,
Tahitian, 1 Russian, Corean, 1 Brit:
ish Negro, l Hollander.
The general outfit at the Molokai
Settlement is about complete; estab-
lishments for the medical department,
hospital, dispensary, nursery, etc.
There are bath houses and drug de-
partments at the homes, and special
houses for the sick
At Kalaupapa there are the poi
factory, the shops, and warehouses,
and the residences of the officials
pleasantly located and we'll supplied
with conveniences. A large building
is under construction for white lepers,
the funds being furnished by gener-
GUS friends throughout the islands
There are two Catholic churches.
At Kalawao the most prominent fea-
lures are Baldwin Home and the U. S.
Leprosarium. This leprosarium is
probably the greatest institution of
it's kind in the world The appropria-
ton by Congress was generous. The
buildings are extensive and supplied
with very elaborate outfit of the best
quality and latest inventions, and |
everything, in fact, that present-day
science can provide.
Another new addition recently added
by the U. S. Government is a fine
lighthouse, pyramidal concrete struc-
ture, the light of which is visible for
about twenty.four miles.
