Prom the Woman,s Home Companion.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
Uncle Sam spends money pretty
wisely on the whole. The a%ppropria-
ton for the, department of agriculture,
which amounts to about SIT, OOO, 900. is
not 1 cent too large. 1t is building
up the material prosperity Of u most
important class of citizens: 1t brings
and ideals to the door of the American
farmer: It distributes information OF
incalculable value. expensive to acquire
and disseminate: 1t gives q marvellous
mail service; In fact. 1t provides the
farmer with friendly and efficient aid
in every branch of his business.

From the Christian Herald.
In a school l once attended the most
popular girl was the most tactful one.
AS Tar as I know only one girl disliked
ner. That girl was spitefuL cross, and
.nefefore not very we'll liked. Do you
know what she used to call our idol? 4
hypocrtte. The words bothered noe not q
little, and I spoke to my ehum about 1t.
but she answered me In her thoughtful
little way:
Well. l guess that maybe Betty is a
hypocrite. II being a hypocrite means say-
ing little kind things based on small pre-
texts y leaving unsaid the unkind
things no matter how good a reason there
Is for saying them: but she's a mighty
comfortable person 10 kay around. ]

: COST OF SHOE MATERIALS.

From the Christian Herald

In the five years. from 1904 to 1909.
there was a very heavy increase in the
cost of materials used in shoe manu-
featuring. In 1904, as shown by the CEN
sus figures. the cost of shoe materials
was $l97, 1863, OOo. In 1903 these mater
crease of $S0.10 900 or Al per cent.
These figures. while only issued by
the government at a comparatively re-
cent date, are now past three ear
old, and during these past three years
the cost of shoe materials has adj
vanced still more rapidly, 1t being COM
puted that the average increase YIN the
cost of the uppers and soles of shoes
during the past three years has been
about IL per cent per year. The cost of
every form of shoe materials outside
of leather has advanced, though OF
course, the principal item of increased
cost is the leather.
There appears to be quite a general
disposition on the part of the public
to blame all forms of the increasing
cost of living to trusts, out so far as
the increasing cost of shoes is concerned
such a conclusion would not be justi-
fable. Leather supplies are short n
increasingly high in price Because less
cattle are being raised and killed in
proportion to the population.
There. are actually less cattle on h
hoof. while the population Is increas-
ing. This makes meat high. while at
the same time. giving a short supply
of hides from which to make leather
for shoes for an increasing population.
From this decreasing supply of leath-
er is taken the leather for automobiles,
for furniture. for bookbindings, cloth:
ing. saddlery and harnesses, trunks,
and bags, etc, and the shoe manufac--
turer must enter into competition with
all of these industries in a short mar
ket to obtain leather from which tc
make shoes.
Moreover. this condition is world
wide. 1t is not due to the operation of
any trusts or combinations. The shoe
industry is singu'arly free from trust
control. 1t has over 1900 independent
manufacturers who are engaged iE
open competition and their product is
distributed in something owe $1,000
stores. All of these are t.-yirg to serve
the public as best they can under I'M
Favorable market conditions. Condi.
,tions SO ~unfavorable in fact Is to COM
pei advances in the price of shoes from
eason to season.

In the Open.

Once again the sky is shining
With a silver summer glow.
And you find your thoughts ~inclining
To the rivers foamiHg flow;
To a place where rustling branches
Sing a sweet eternal song,
Or 'monsst cattle on the ranches.
Where all life seems big and strong.
Where the roads are Observation-Disclosures;
Where the stars shine far and free,
And h universe seems ordered
Just asst WAS meant to be:
Where each raising mood Is gracious,
OF Understanding day.:
Where outdoors IL none TO spacious
And q house is In the way.

man as correspondent.
On Wednesday the case came before

His eyes at length opened to the
truth. Roussel would hav horse

Tho Homes of Enaland.

The stately Homes Of England!
How beautiful they stand,
Amidst their tall. ancestral trees,
Der all the pleasant land!
The deer across their greensward bound.
Through shade and sunny CLEAN,
And the swan glides past them with the
sound
OF some rejoicing stream.
The merry Homes of England!
Around their hearths by night.
What gladstone looks of household love
Meet in the ruddy light!
There wolnan's voice flows forth in song,
Or ~childhood's tale Is told,
Or lips move tunefully along
Some glofi0us page of ole.
The blessed Homes OF England!
How softly on their bowers
That breathes from Sabbath hours!
Solemn. yet sweet, the church bell's
chime
Floats through their woods at morn;
All other sounds, in that still time,
OF breeze and leaf are born.
The cottage Homes of England!
BY thousands on her plains,
They are smiling DER the silvery brooks.
And round the hamlet fanes.
Through glowing orchards forth they
peep.
Each from it's nook Of leaves,
And fearless there the lowly sleep.
AS the bird beneath their caves.
The free. fair Homes Of England!
Long, long, In hut and hall,
May hearts of native proof be reaNd

And green forever be the groves.
And bright the flowery sod.
Where first the child's glad spirit loves
Its country and its God!

distance shipment of perishable
fruit is about to be tried within a
few days. An entire carload of
peaches is to be dispatched to
Europe from the Yakima country,
and in this shipment only the
finest selected Elbertas will be
used. While the regulation box
es will be used, the layers of
fruit will be separated by a layer
of wood fibre as a protection
against rough handling and pos
sible damage. If this trial ship
ment proves a success, it is prob
able that an extensive business in
peaches will be developed by Pa
cific Northwest fruit exchanges.

PLAN FOR RURAL
BANKING SYSTEM
Senate Measure Provides
Scheme to Aid Farmers.
Loans for Fifty Years.

A national rural banking SyS-
tenn was proposed in a bill in
troduced the past week in the
United States senate by Senator
Fletcher, chairman Of the Amer
lean commission on rural credits,
appointed by the president.
The bill proposes a system Of
local national rural banks owned
and operated by farmers; state
national rural bank in each state,
to be owned and controlled by
the local banks as stockholders,
and a national bank of the United
States, to be located in Washing
ton, to be owned entirely by the
state rural banks.
To supervise the proposed chain
of banks there would be created
in the treasury department a div
ision Of rural banking under the
direction of a rural banking
board" to consist of the secre-
taries of the tneasury, agriculture
and labor. The division would
be under the immediate jurisdic-
ton of a director of rural bank
ing to be appointed by the presi-
dent.
The main purpose Of the banks
would be to furnish funds to
farmers on long term farm bonds
or notes, secured by liens on
farms at not exceeding 60 per
cent of their value. Loans would
be secured first by a local bank,
then by a state bank and last by
the national bank of the United
States, and they would run from
20 to so years. The national
rural bank is designed to have a
capital and surplus exceeding
$10O, 900, 600, while the stock of
each local bank would be limited
to So, 100000.
Senator Fletcher, speaking in
the senate, urged the immediate
consideration of the measure by
the banking committee and Its
passage at the special session of
congress; he expressed approval
of the administration currency
bill as a commercial banking bill
but said it would not meet the
needs Of the agricultural COM
munities, because of the neces-
sity of long-term loans.
1t is obvious" said Senator
Fletcher, that the only method
of furnishing capital for require
ments of the farmer is the crea-
ton of a long-term first-mortgage
bond, secured on his land, which
bond shall contain a sinking fund
provision so that an amount shall
be set aside each year to pay off
the bond when it natures. The
farmers loans should run from
20 to so years. No bank can
loan money for such length of
time. The money must be bor-
rowed from the investing public.
Here is where a special system
of banks is needed, which will be
authorized to use their credit in
guaranteeing such bonds under
restrictions which will reduce the
risk of such guarantee to a min
imum. F."
The proposed federal reserve
system, the senator said, did not
offer much relief, and the pro-
visions of his measure, he main
tanned, though not perfect, would
meet the requirements.
