HELD the State Committee.

Because the more active republicans
Of the state have been engrossed with
the presidential contest, very little
money has been raised for the state
committee since the first OF February
though the contest proceedings con
Quoted in ST. Louis have caused a
heavy drain on the committees limited
funds. Now that the taking Of testi.
mony has been concluded and the
special commissioner OF the supreme
court has the completed record before
him, the expenditure Of money incl
dent to the proceedings has ceased
but the committee will have a heavy
burden OF debt TO meet on account OF
the transcript and attorneys, besides
the reimbursement OF accounts drawn
upon 70 meet required expenditures.
It will require the utmost liberality on
the part OF the republicans OF the state
to "clear the decks" for the state com
mittee before the campaign following
the August primary election begins.

The Missouri republicans are very
much in earnest about redisiricting the
state for fair senatorial and congressional
representation. They do not want a
partisan advantage. They want a
square deal, no more, no less. They
believe in obeying the constitution,
hence they propose that the counties
%. he state and wards Of the big cities
be grouped in districts, compactly, con-
vepiently, continuously, and, as FAR as
possible, with equality Of population.

Long Rows for the Garden.

It is best TO have the garden long
and narrow in shape since it is far more
easily plowed and cultivated in this
form. Lay of the garden in rows three
feet apart and use a one. horse cultivator
with five small shovels for working it.
In this way little hand hoeing will be
necessary, and if wheel hoe is used
after the cultivator it will do away with
still more hoeing. All these things
save time and time is about the scarcest
article on the farm when this work
needs to be done. AS the crops ripen
and are removed plant others in theil
places and keep right on cultivatinl
until fall. Nature has a great aversion
to bare ground and will start crop o
weeds il left unmolested, every one o
which will be trouble maker for mex
year if allowed 10 go to seed.-Cour

Assessment and Taxation.

The state constitution requires that
all taxable property be assessed at its
real value in money and taxed for state
purposes at a rate not 10 exceed fifteen
cents on each $4,000 Of such yalua-
ton The rate may be one cent or
five cents or ten cents OF anything else
not in excess Of fifteen cents. The
idea advanced by Governor Hadley is
that all property shall be fully assessed
and the rate then reduced to the lowest
limit necessary 10 meet the require,
ments Of the state government. I'm
der such an assessment the tax rate lor
state purposes would not exceed seven
cents. Attorney General Major is try
ing TO make people believe that Gov.
Hadley wants to assess property at its
full value and tax it TO the constitutional
limit. He knows better but is playing
the people he talks to for fools. There
was a time when such democrats as
Attorney General Major could fool the
people OF Missouri but that time ha;
passed. Missouriars have orened
their eyes.

German Cooperative CreditSystems
RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION MADE BY AMBASSADOR
sERLIN-THE RAFFEIsEN RURAL BANKS.

Washington, Aug. 6-The investiga.
systems which is being made by Am
bassador Leishman at Berlin in con-
nection with President Taft's effort to
introduce cooperative credit into this
country for the benefit of the Ameri-
can farmers is divided into three parts;
an investigation of the Raiffeisen sys-
tenn of rural banks, of the Schulze-
Delitzsch system of popular urban
banks, and of the Landschaften and
Ritterchaften mortage bond associa-
lions, which are the medium of secur-
ing the farmer the money necessary
for the permananet improvement Of
his land.
Germany is the birthplace of CO.
operative credit. Necessity was the
the mother of its invention. In the
first half of the last century the Ger
man farmer found himself in the
grasp of the money lender. The great
transition in industrial conditions
which was then going on throughout
the world made ii essential that the
farmer be given some means of secur-
ing cheaper and quicker credit if he
was to successfully meet competition
in the commercial world. The exces-
sive demands of the usurers, heavy
burden always on the farmer, became
increasingly hard for him to bear as
the financial fabric of the commercial
world progressed to IS complex per-
lection and modern finance furnished
to other classesan auxiliary machine,
which placed the farmer under a great
disadvantage. Improved systems of
credit gave the merchants dollar
multiplied strength. The farmers do
lar remained a dead weight--worth a
dollar and no more. He possessed it
and for what he needed he spent a
part of it and kept the balance idle,
dead. The merchants dollar was be-
ing deposited and withdrawn in a doz-
en- transactions in as many hours, do
ing the work Of dozen dollars.
AS David Lubin, American delegate
to the Institute of Agriculture at
Rome, expressed it in lecture before
the Southern Commercial Congress,

ants dollar dynamic. The farmers

respective cities the following line OF
procedure: A rat survey to be limit

of rats of each area for examination !;
the examination of rats to include a
rat autopsy, search for fleas, micro
scope examination and recognition of
infected rat localities. Regulations in
regard to ships to include 36-inch rat
shields on hawsers, rat guards along

unloaded; Tending the ship off of the
wharf by four floating timbers joined

In the event of infection being discov-
cred in any city, an area of eight
blocks is to be considered the area of
suspicion. Further suggestions or
regulations are to be adopted when
ever infection is discovered.

WRITES Prize
PAPER
WILBUR HARRISON OF UTICA
TELLS ABOUT THE BEST WAY
TO RAISE HOGS
Jackson Clarion-Ledger.

|
M. J. Harrison, of Utica, was in
the city yesterday accompanied by his
son, Wilbur, lad of eleven years, who
was the winner of the prize awarded
by w. J. Davis of Jackson in the coun-
ty school contest for the best original
paper written on hog raising. Wilbur
is a pupil of Miss Maggie Hollings-
worth and always makes distinction in
his studies. Besides securing the
prize in this contest, he made distinc-
tion and favorable mention in almost
every other subject.
That it may be an inspiration to 9TH
! er boys. The News gives in full his
essay:
"The Poland China is one of the
best hogs in the United States. There
are two types-the big boned and the
medium.
"The big boned Poland China is
very heavy, and the grain of the flesh
is course. 1t is especially fine for lard
and for packing house slaughter, as
ii can be brought to market size, two
hundred and fifty pounds, quicker
than any other hog.
THE medium-sized Poland China is
the best hog for Mississippi. The
people here raise the hog for home
use and do not want coarse-grained
meat, nor all lard. They want bacon
that is tender and streaked with lean
and fat. The want nice, medium
sized ham, as it will keep much better
than large ones where the weather
is so changeable. The medium-siz-
ed Poland China will give both and
furnish plenty of lard too, whom prop
erly fattened.
1t takes less feed for the medium
sized Poland China than for the large
type. The people of Mississippi have
never been used to heavy feeding, aud
very few would feed enough to rush
a large type hog and so 1t would be-
come stunned. Some people might
feed one hog enough to rush 1t
but could not feed bunch
CT large hogs because they do not raise
enough feed stuff, and moro than one
hog is needed for meat for a large
family durig year.
"The medium.sized Poland China is
good rustlcr and will pick up a good
part of its tivlrs and 1t can stand the
heat Of our summer better than very
large hog"

dollar remained static. The farmers
dollar was electricity Embarrassed
possessing the potential force, but not
harnessed so that the owner could Sc
cure the benefit of that force. The
merchants dollar was electricity ap-
piled in the power house. The force
which the farmers dollar was dormant
was awakened by hitching 1t to a
machine. If the farmer was to be-
come the peer Of the merchant in the
commercial world he must have some
such machine.
This problem became apparent to
Frederick William Raifferisen, Bur-
gomaster of Weyerbusch in Germany.
He set about planning machine
which would give the farmer quicker
and cheaper credit. AS the basis for
his plan he accepted the principle
that what the farmer was denied as
an individual he could secure by CO.
operation. The individual farmer
might be too small to command ex-
tended credit facilities at good terms.
but a community of farmers combin-
ed would represent a strength with
whom any lender would be glad to
deal. AS a constitution for such CO.
operative bodies he laid down three
maxims:
First of all, the members of the
combine must hold themselves liable
to an unlimited extent for the transac-
tons of the society; second, the So
ciety must operate only in a limited
field, so that every member would be
neighbor of every other member.
This reduced the chances of squander-
cd loans; for, every member being
responsible for what every other mem
her borrowed from the society and
having his eye upon his expenditures,
it was improbable that Herr Fritz
would in silence contemplate any ex-
travagant habits of his neighbor.
Herr Heinrich. Lastly, that the man
agement of the society's business be
done at a minimum cost, most of the
managers giving their services CRATES.
This would, of course, reduce the cost
to the farmers and bring them cheap
err credit.
Briefly stated this is the simple
basis Of the Raiffeisen system of rural
credit, which has spread practically
to every country in Europe and which
has done more than all else to release
the European farmer from the grasp
of the money lender and to enable him
to make the dollar which he used to
hoard In sock an active help to him
every hour Of the day.
Fearing speculative control of the
banks, and desiring to extend the
benefits of his system to the poorest
who might ask aid, Herr Raifreisen
refused to allow the banks to be estab-
lished with foundation capital secur.
ed by selling shares of capital stock.
He argued that a rural bank which Of
fered as a security the holdings of every
member of 1t could do business with
out and foundation capita. To secure
a working capital for his banks he Of
fered four sources of income: One,
deposits on current account; two, saw
ings deposits; three, loans from other
banks of from private individuals;
and, four, the reserve fund made of
earnings of past year. Since the sys-
tenn was first inaugurated a law has
been passed in Germany requiring
all cooperative banks to have a
foundation capital. To comply with
the law the Raiffeisen banks sold |
shares of capital stock, but limited |
heir value to nominal amount, and |
