FARMING
TELLS HOW BELGIUM

Washington, D. c., Aug. 29.-Minister
Larz Anderson has completed the in
vestigation of the cooperative credit
systems of Belgium which he under
took in connection with president
Tafts attempt to establish cooperative
credit in this country for the benefit Of
the American farmer
The first attempt made in Belgium to
relieve the farms from the burden Of
high interest rates was essentially a
governmental undertaking 1t is in
teresting to note, however, that the CO.
operative idea as developed in Ger
many was later adopted in Belgium
and has largely Supplanted the plan
adopted by the Belgian government, at
least so far as the smaller landowners
are concerned.
The societies in Belgium, as in Ger
many. are served by central coOpera-
tive banks. In Belgium these central
banks supervise the management and
audit the books of the rural cOOpera-
tive banks. They also guarantee loans
made to the rural banks by the General
Savings bank In 1894 a law was
passed setting aside 1000, 900 francs Of
the funds of the General Savings bank
which was to be loaned to the rural
banks at the set rate of II percent
In order to enjoy the benefit of this
law a rural bank has to become a mem
Der in a central cooperative bank and
has to have the central banks guaran-

ceives a commission OF one-tWelfth Of

interesting attractions.
The first county fair was held four
years ago, and while the attempt met
with splendid success. the county fair
has not reached sufficient proportions
to command statewide attention until
the present year The abundance of
rain throughout this section of the
country for the past two months has
put the crop conditions in the best
shape that the country has ever known
and already there is awaiting the
sightseers and investors, a scene Of
activity and agricultural development
that is good to look upon. The county
fair this year will be enclosed in huge
tent, which has been provided for by
B. D. Oldham, president of the chamber
of commerce; and other adjacent build

An old fashioned free basket dinner

BORDEN DEFIES THE
ENGLISH SUFFRAGETS
Tells Them He Has No Idea
Of Urging Enfranchise-
ment of Women.

London, Eng, Aug, 29--The Cana
dian premier, Robert L. Borden, when
he faced the suffragets for the Lrst
time today, told them emphatically ne
had no power to introduce a general
measure of suffrage for women in the
Dominion of Canada and that no
threats of the employment Of militant
methods would have any influence on
him.
The declaration of the Women's
Social and Political union was intro
duced by Miss Barratt- She stated
that their chief object was to ask the
Canadian premier If he intended on
his return to the dominion to introduce
a government measure for the en-
franchisement of women She declared
that the Women's Social and Political
union was considering a campaign to
advise intending emigrants to go to
Australia and New Zealand rather
than to Canada
On Mr.. Borden's reply, she said,
would depend the advice the union
gave its Canadian members and also
the possibility of militant agitation
in Canada
Mr. Borden was very explicit in
stating that he had no power and no
intention of introducing into the do
minion a measure for the enfranchise-
ment of women The question of the
franchise, ne said, devOlved entirely
on the nine provincial legislatures
and the dominion parliament had no
warrant to pass such legislation.
Mr.. Borden concluded:
= should like to say with all re-
spect, think the Canadian women are
capable Of judging for themselves IN
this matter. No suggestion of the en-
pIoyment of methods Of any kind will
have the slightest influence
Mr.. Borden later in the day received
a, deputation of members Of the Anti
Suffrage league, which congratulated
him on holding his ground against
the Women's Social and Political
union.

complaints are from farmers residing

fact that that section of the state has

These rains are calculated to cause
