SOME roAIrrcAL rossIBILrrEs

Not since the Presidential elec
tion OF 1924 have there been .
many different possibilities In tn
choice OF President as there ar
this year. To be sure. there hav
been several candidates ON man!
othsr occasions, but In every cast
the real ehoite has been betweeI
two candidates whc alone had Z
chance Of election.

four candidates, Lincoln, Breekln'
ridge, Douglass and Bell,--t there wa
perhaps, a possibility that the olec-
lion might be thrown into the
House OF Representatives, but II
was remote.
But consider what variety OF
chances there are at the present
time. The most probable result, IA

Is that Governor Wilson will have

FARMERS MAY HAVE their own
BANKS AND CHEAPER CAPITAL

words the farmer has the money
TO hhaAte his own business If only
ne cah get the machine to place that
none! IN active operation. Another
remarhaoln fact, shown by the sta
tistics OF that year, is that these
banks lH Germany did their bus
iness with a capital which amounted
to on rs per cent of their total
funds Savings deposits form the
great bulk OF their working capital.
ihese are accepted from members
and hoHmPmbers alike. Deposits
on current account, however, are ac-
cepted from members only.
1t can easily be imagined that
the management of the Raiffeisen
banks Is very simple matter. Cen
orally only one person is salaried
employee-the secretary, who does
the actual executive work. The
basis OF management for the banks
is the general meeting of the mem
bers. At these meetings there are
elected a council of supervision
and !; committee of management.
The meeting, the council, and the
committee take care of the admin
istratiye work. This gives the
banks a very economical admins
traitor. in 1903 the average cost
OF management in Germany was
about $l53.12.
The banks finance the farmers
throueh two sorts of loans-loans
on current account and loans for
fixed periods. The loans on current
account form a third of the total
of loans, and there is at this time
strong tendency to extend the
practice of loans on current account
as this is the most convenient form
for the borrowing members and is
similar to the loans of banks in
cities to mercantile houses. Secur-
ity Is given for the loans in the form
of MORTGAGES, by the deposit of stock
or other security. by finding sure.

The Raiffeisen banks were not or
ganized for profit and, consequently
none OF the profits are distributed
in the form of dividends. Some O.

WORK DOES "COSdE
RACK" ACT SUCCESSFULLY

Old Tam, the base ball pitcher In
the early days, came back in Sun
DAYS game between the Spuds and
Cottrells of Denver and stuck it OUT
on the mound for six and half IN
nings, bringing the score around 70
Greeley's favor in to markup.
Although Tam has not the best use
of his optics he sure knows where
the rubber is and has not forgotten
how to twirl the guessers over the
plate as he did six years ago. Tam
received the admiration of the base
ball fans for his good work, put IN
the last of the sixth he lost MS
pitching arm and had to be rellev-
ed by Standby Miller With all the
bases full Miller went in and pulled
Greeley out of deep pit. The way
he made the visitors throw down the
hat and stink to the bunkers was
great to see.
The fielding of the Greeley men
in the gardens was perfect at all
times and the boys in the infield DID
not let one of those Texas leaguers
get by.

Milliken. Aug. 5.-Although his
left arm was fractured in practice
before the game Jim Cuykendahl
pitched Milliken to a great victory
of 12 to over Johnstown. Guy
kendall ran into the second base
man while the teams were warming
up for the game. The arm pained
him some but he did not know It
was broken. He pitched the game
through then went to his home at
Platteville. 1t was found this morn
ing that the arm was fractured be-

Dale took the team yesterday TO

has raised its percentage in the
league to 500. Windsor started
things in the first and brought in
two tallies. Poor fielding on the
part of Eaton and poor judgment in
handling a fielder's choice was re-
sponsible for the runs. Eaton had
been practicing up for the game and
put up better game of ball than
they had for long time.
