Promising Progress.

have spires pointing heavenward in
this city, is one that has not yet at
tanned that distinction, but meets
twice a week-on Sunday morning
at II A. NJ. and Wednesday at 8 P.

house, at the head of Adams street,
near Tenth Cat 907 on Adams, to be
more explicit) which has been made
into an exceedingly pleasant and COM
Portable place Of worship by its MEM
bership, the Christian Scientists. The
pleasure of listening to one of their
services consisting of readings from
the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's Science
and Healh, the textbook of the Or
ganization, was ours, last Sunday,
when Mrs. Duncan Bigelow and Mrs.
w. J. Roberts, (wife of the State
Highway Commissioner who were
the First and Second Readers re-
spectively. The readings were of
passages that breathed the spirit Of
Truth, Candor and Love, and could
not fail to impress receptive nearer
with respect for the effort thus being
made for the good of humanity. The
membership is composed of many of
our best citizens, and their work so
far gives evidence of good judgment
and sincerity. A fund has already
been started for the purchase of an
eligible site and the erection Of q
building for their permanent home.
The best wishes Of all in accord with
true Christian progress is bespoken
for success of their efforts.

Cooperative Marketing.

The principal OF cooperation is no
new discovery, but is one of the funda-
mental laws OF the universe. We have
always been conscious OF its continu-
GUS application In all the realm OF
nature. The farmer conforms to it's
requirements in tilling his soil and
producing his crops, yet he has not ap-
piled it to the business end OF his oc-
cupatfon. He has noticed that it is
the dominating influence in ali BUSH
ness enterprises as well as in all po-
littical affairs, but for some unknown
reason he has refused to apply it in
marketing his produce. He seems
perfectly willing 20 hand this part OF
the business over to an alien and pay
him literally for his work. In other
words he Is satisfied to take Al cents
Tor what the consumer pays a dollar.

EASY MONEY FOR THE FARMER
Foreign Methods Of Furnishing Il to
Re Studied BY National Corn .
saaissioff III T arm nance.

The finance committee has report
ed favorably tothe United States SEN
ate the Gronna resolution. 1t pro-
vides for a national commission on
farm finance, to consist OF three mem
bers and to be limited to one year. It
is to investigate and report upon the
systems Of cooperative land-mortgage
banking, and cooperative rural credit
unions. which have achieved such
stupendeus success In Europe.
II this class OF institution can be
enjoyed by American farmers, the re-
suit will be of profound Importance,
says an editorial in the Farm and
Home. The Nashville conference,
which considered this problem, takes
the same view. An official report OF
the British government says that
these methods OF cooperative rural
credit are "a modern discovery which
may be ikened, as factor in pro-
duction, to the discovery Of steam"
Some millions OF farmers in diff
ferent European countries are mem
bers of credit unions that make bus
mess Of seasonal loans to farmers, at
reasonable rates. In Germany alone,
these rural banks are doing bus1-
ness of $5,000,0OO,000 annually. For
eign cooperative land-mortgage banks
do. still larger business, enabling
farmers to borrow money on mortgage
at 31s to AZ per cent. and encourag-
ing them to repay it by installments,
SO that in due time the farmer owns
his place free and clear OF all lncum-
brance
Abroad, these institutions are the
eltgrowth of over $50 years expert
ence. Their successful development in
this country, declares Farm and
Home, may be productive OF more
good than all of the political reforms
now agitating the public mind.
The national commission on farm
finance should present all the facts,
so that the farmers in the respective
states may succeed In their financial
cooperation. The report should sug-
gest what state laws are needed and
also whether any national legislation
is called for to promote the most eff
fectlve progress OF cooperative farm
finance.
