FARM FINANCE.

TIE movement to secure better ba nix

ing with weII-deserved support. Both
of the Chicago conventions. as we'll as
the Democratic convention at BaIti-

favoring a better system pf agri-
cultural credit The bankers conven-
ton. which has Just closed its sese
sions at Detroit. also Endorsed the
movement. In the Southern States the
interest in better agricultural banking
opportunities is probably more pro-
nounced than In other sections. An
attempt is now being made in the
South to raise funds sufficient to send
abroad next spring a general commit
tee to study European methods Of
farm finance.
Schemes for affording working cap
itaI to the farmer in Great Britain
and the leading nations of Europe
have been successfully operated dur
Ing the past half century. All of the

In germany more than fifty years ago.
The Fundamental idea is that of self
help. By cooperation or collective
action farmers are able to obtain
credi, facilities which they could not
secure individually.
The experience OF European coun-
tries can be adapted to American con-
d,tions The establishment of rural
banks will mean much to our asricul-
tural classes. and especially to farm
ing communities in the South. where

The spirit that fired these hundred

PARLIAMENT OF MAN"
MEETS IN AMERICA.
Tennyson's Dream Realized In Con-
eress of Chambers of Commerce.

The international congress of cham
0ers of commerce, which convenes in
Boston Sept "a to 2S, probably comes
the nearest to a world parliament of
anything outside of the peace congress
at The Hague. After adjournment the
body will tour the country.
Chicago will be host in the first week
Of October to this most cosmopolitan
aggregation of visitors that she has en-
tertained since the Worlds fair. The
delegates will travel by special train,
and the party will be made up of ac-
credited representatives of Algeria,
South Africa, Arabia, Australia, Bel
GUM, Canada, Central America, Chile,
France, Germany, Great Britain,
Greece, Hawaii, Italy, New Zealand,
Norway, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Rus
sia, Sweden, Switzerland, Argentina,
Tasmania, Turkey, United States and
practically every other civilized coun-
try on the globe. To avoid difficulty
1t is probable that three languages will
be recognized as the official languages
Of the congress-French, German and
English.
Tennysons dream of the "parliament
Of man, the federation Of the world"
has been realized in the international
congress, so far as commercial prob
lens are concerned. The visitors are
all representative Of commercial bod
les in the leading cities and countries
Of the world The business sessions Of
the 1912 congress will take up for con-
certed consideration and recommenda-
ton to their various governments plans
for fixed date for Easter, rules for

tional tribunal for the settlement of
controversies between individuals and
various states, international postal re-
forms, the exchange Of commercial sta
tistics through an international bureau,
the necessity for an international con-
ference on the high cost Of living and

gress, as a commercial body, aims to
make war between nations over merely

LEGLESS BOY CAN SWIM.
Can Also Dive and Wrestle and l.
Good Scholar

Charles f. Parvis, instructor OF
swimming, employed by the board OF
education of Philadelphia, has just ac,
complished the feat Of teaching a leg
less boy to swim at the public bath,
house.
The boy is Tyson Detwiler, fourteen
years old. When six years of age the
little fellow was mangled by a freight
train.
Despite his afiliction he is now in the
seventh grade in the Hackett school
and is popular with all his classmates
He Is so remarkably well developed
that he has learned TO wrestle and is
able to give many of the older boys all
they can do to put him on his back.
At the bathhOuse Parvis soon had
him doing stunts on a bench. After
his first lessons as to the proper use
of his arms he was able to learn to
dive. Parvis gave him four lessons Il
week, and he has mastered several
difficult strokes. He can swim at least
half mile without changing his arm
movement. Parvis had a special plat
form constructed for the boy, and he
can dive from this at a height Of six
foot
