RURAL CREDIT SYSTEM.

With the conditions existing among the farmers of the country in the mat ter of securing credit, it is no wonder that they are deeply interested in the efforts which have been under way for a long time to determine what is the most practical system of rural credits in operation in other countries with a view to establishing such a system here. This inquiry has been thorough, and covers Belgium, France and other countries through the diplomatic serv- ice. From the reports there will be obtained the material for establishing system in this country which will best meet the conditions
 It is no wonder, therefore, that the farmers of Ohio were greatly inter ested in the remarks of President Taft on his visit to Columbus concerning the proposed plans for bringing it about. It is one of the important fea- lures of the republican platform and it was considered of such importance that the democrats incorporated it in to their platform
 The president has recognized the need of relieving the farmer particu- larly of the central and western states of their cramped situation relative to securing easier and lower credit. It is a matter which affects the small and ambitious farmer, for inability to get money to carry on his farm means not only a loss in his business, but a loss of interest. To his relief the re- publican party is committed and he will get early and just attention by the return to power of the republicans

EARLY PARCELS POST.

In accordance with the widespread interest in the new parcels post bill which congress recently passed, the prompt action of the department in preparing to put 1t into use by the first of the year means that an early oper- alton of the new law is to be effected in accordance with the provision. This will be welcomed after the long and hard fight that has been made in it's behalf.
 In the making up of the rates placed in the bill 1t was realized mat per lection had not been obtained and the postmaster general is given power, with the consent of the interstate commerce commission after investiga- ton, to modify rates, weights and zone distances, when experience has dem- onstrated the need thereof. He can also make provisions for indemnity insurance and collection on delivery with additional charges for such serv- ice.
 The bill provides that any article is mailable if not over II pounds in weight nor more than 12 inches in length and girth combined, nor likely to injure the mails or postal equip ment or employees. There is a flat rate of one cent an ounce up to four ounces regardless of the distance. Above four ounces the rates are by the pound or fraction thereof and vary with distance as follows:

THE PASSING OF SUMMER


 filled pails at night telling of a busy day in the fields and snug little sum added to heir cash account. The ire quently noticed bathing suit swinging on the clothesline would tell of swim ming and diving, did we not often hear:
 Where you goin'?"
 Swimming! Come on, we're all goin, and the waters fine!" The words are near enough to at- tract others. whose reports of hut building and potato -roasts show that to many the leafy woods have a charm beyond all else.
 A rifle and target shooting some times completes the outfit to fill the days sport. Many lad cuts short his morning nap for such pleasure who will find it difficult to be awake in time for .he school bell two weeks later on.
 An occasional frog suffers, too. fear, from that rife, but I hope the boys are merciful to the birds whom they may chance to see. When all these fail to please, there is still remaining the fishing at tho riverside, when the word is passed around that the little blues have come at the drawbridge and elsewhere. How patiently the youthful fisherman will 1 wait for bite. whose patience is sore | " tried at waiting for anything else. { How proudly he returns at night with his string of fish which must be fried for the next mornings breakfast and, let me tell you in confidence, the fam i lily which has such fisherman among it's number is to be considered lucky, dish.
 And grabbing. Have you ever been grabbing? If not. you have missed one of the best of the sports furnished by our home river. As the boys and their elders express it, Its lots of funi' and crabs are a nice breakfast, too.
 1 Yes, Norwich is a good vacation place for boys and girls. Vary all that have mentioned with an occasional trolley ride or sail down the river. and what more can any reasonable child desire?

(Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 When we hear the crickets and katy aids during the evening we know that summer is waning and with them come other warnings to foretell the end of the season.
 Plants and birds add their testimony to that of the insects to prove that summer is passing away.
 The roses are a thing of the past, and dahlias and astefs are coming into notice. Out in the fields daisies are giving way to golden rod.
 Even the street hucksters have changed their cry of Strawberries! berries! berries!" into Peaches fou- quarts for 25 cents''
 We are told that ragweed and it's companion, hay fever, have come, and fortunate is he who eludes the grasp of the latter. Is it mental suggestion alone, wonder, that brings hay fever every year on one of three consecutive days?
 friend of mine was certain of d return of that malady each year or one of three days in September, and I never knew. her to be disappointed i'll that respect.
 Another one I knew was told that one never had hay fever on the ocean, and so v left her usual remedies at home as unnecessary, but midway. of | her ocean voyage on a return trip 1 from England came the fever, and the | sneeze, and all the other disagreeable | features of her yearly visitor. 1 Were it not for all of these witnesses. i still there are other convi acing bits of 1 evidence to notify us of u passing oi | summer.
 Every copy of our daily paper has | long columns mostly filled with re turns not election returns. Of those we shall hear later if the campaign 1 does not become so fatal to all con cerned that, like the Kilkenny eats, 1 there is nothing left to return
 Mrs. Short has returned from her summer home and reopened her city 1 house."
 Miss Long has returned after sev- eral weeks at the seashore." These are but samples of the items with which the columns are filled.
 To most of these returning friends | the home coming is as delightful a7 the outing has been, and they settle back into the favorite chair with d 1 deep drawn sigh of satisfaction and the exclamation:
 Tt is so good to be at home once more!"
 The advertising space in the papers | of the close of the season and intnna- tions of the arrival of autumn goods and novelties, and many a pruden purchaser avails herself of the chance to obtain bargains, and so economize that something may be left for those tempting fall offerings.
 Another class of advertisements of- fers school supplies, books, pencils anC all the rest of the things needful fol the students use To the children this indicates the passing of vacation as well as of summer.
 It is to be hoped that for most O. our Soung citizens the summer has brought pleasure and profit in gain ot health and strength. Those who have remained in town have found tha Norwich is a good place for mos children to spend a vacation.

CHARGES AGAINST ROOSEVELT.

While Colonel Roosevelt is appeal ing to the people of Vermont in his susve and hypnotic manner in behalf of his own cause and declaring that his party is particularly strenuous against boss rule and working in be- half of the people, it is quite in con- Jrast to the word-picture which John D. Long, ex-secretary of the navy, 1yives to the country at the same time Roosevelt was assistant to John D. Long until the Spanish war broke out and therefore MT. Long is peculiarly fitted to know whereof he speaks when he says in declaring why he is go- Ing to vote for President Taft, that the Colonel broke faith with the people is seeking -aggrandzement and Chat he is colossal boss.
 This from d former superior repre- sents the widespread feeling which ex- ists on the position which the former president has taken in his effort to break the republican party because it refused to carry him back into the White house. In reference to the promises which the third-termer is e Long says: He is using his great power of attracting public applause only to secure his own return to po- litical power His cry against bosses is wonderfully funny, in view of the fact that there is no such colossal boss as himself. Everything is made subservient to his personal dictation l believe he is striking at the very foundations of our constitutional gov ernment by his theory of the recall oi judicial officers by popular vote, thus making our courts subservient to pop ular caprice.
 He breaches elfusiyely the com monpaccs of good morals and yirtu- ous conduct. but there is not an item among them in which Taft is not as good if not a better example Every body who thinks moment knows thai f Roosevelt were elected nothing would come 10 any man in the way O cheaper cost Of living, better wage, or more comforts of life
 Mir. Lous's position on the third terrner hits the situation on the heat and expresses the opinion of the self thinking voters of the country.

EXPORTING AMERICAN AUTOS.

The automobile industry is one Of the big industries of the country. hay ing sprung up within the past decade and developed to enormous propor- tions, Is doing d business which is by no means confined to this country though at the present time the market is by no means overrun here. The worth of the American machines is evidently appreciated abroad, both as to construction and price, when it is realized that thirty million dollars worth of autos manufactured in this country found markets abroad last year, whereas ten years ago the amount exported was less than a mil lion. The export price of autos from this country in the past year averaged less than in any earlier year in the history of the export trade, the aver age being $99O each while the year previous it was $11O0 and in 1910 it was S1,380.
 How vast an industry the auto has built up can be seen from the fact that while the export trade has gain ed so remarkably, the production at home has far outstripped that, the value of the machines built in 1910 reaching the sum of $249, ,OO0, GOO, while ten years previous the amount was a trife less than five million.
 The American industry has taken practically all the trade of England
 and in fact of English speaking peo- pie and the low priced car is getting 1 open the pocketbooks of the multitude
 There were 6,28S cars sent to Canada

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN
RUST.

If anything is not used it is rusted.
 Physicians say there are certain diseased conditions in which the body eats itself, as in diabetes.
 It is true of all parts of both soul and body that what is not properly exercised atrophies. If you do not exert your muscles they devour theii own strength. If you do not put food into your stomach to digest, it will, so to speak, digest itself.
 So also the mind that does not con- tinually study and learn does not re- main blank, but fills up with a vast mass of untruths which destroy it. Ignorance is the rust of the mind.
 It is fully as hard on the system to have nothing to do as to be over
