Agricultural Credits.-The Interna-
tional Institute of Agriculture at Rome
issues a monthly bulletin In English
Italian, French, Spanish, German and
Portuguese, and this bulletin tells OF
agricultural advancement in all these
countries. One article in recent bull
letin which deals with cooperative ag-
ricultural societies In France IL inter-
esting. II says that in France for more
than ten years agricultural credit has
been organized under a special system
based on cooperative institutes and
regional and local savings banks, as
sisted financially by the state. The
state, In fact, has assigned to purposes
Of cooperative agricultural credit large
amounts, made up Of the forty million
loan without interest and other annual
payments made to 1t by the Bank Of
France and amounting to between
three and five million francs. Out OF
this fund, loans without interest are
granted to the regional banks, and
they, In their turn, lend under condi-
tions of favor, to the local banks the
sums they need for the exercise Of ag-
ricultural credit pure and simple at
short maturity. The regional banks are
also empowered to make loans on long
credit to the agricultural cooperative
societies for production and sale, as
well as to individual small farmers for
the purchase and improvement of their
holdings. This system OF credit has
produced good results, and Is continu-
ally producing better.-Charlotte OBJ

16 MILES OF PIKE TO STATE.
Purchase of Stretch of Road in Mont
Somery Effected.

Chairman 0. E. Weller, of the State
Roads Commission, announced that the
purchase of l6 miles of the Union Turn
pike, Montgomery county, has been
contaminated, and that the pike will be
turned oyer to the State not later than
next Saturday.
The price for the 16 miles was S2O,-
900. The stretch of road runs from the
District of Columbia line north through
Silver Spring and Norbeck to Olney,
and thence east through Sandy Spring
to Ashland. There is another stretch
of nine miles, which will be turned over
to Montgomery county without charge
by the Turnpike Company. All toll
gates will be removed.
Mr.. Weller stated that, included in
the property turned over to the State
by the Turnpike Company, are rentals
from leases or rights of way to an
electric railway. These amount to $255
year, which, it is stated, is equivalent
to per cent. an $1,000; so that the
purchase price of the pike is computed
by the Roads Commission to be virtually
S14, 900.
Resurfacing of the pike is expected
to start next Monday and the Roads
Commission hopes to complete four or
five miles this year. The cost of re-
surfacing is estimated at between S4,-
600 and s., 600 a mile.

New York Tribune.)

NANSM VI n
Cosmo Hamilton, the young Eng
lish writer, was talking in New York
about eugenics.
The eugenist," he said, sis no foe
to properly regulated divorce. Some
eugenists even think that the reasons
for divorce need not be given.
Such eugenists are like the old
Roman who invented the phrase,
where the shoe pinches.'
This old Roman was reproached
by his friends for divorcing his wife.
They could see no fault in her, they
said.
The old Roman, by way of answer.
smiled and took off his shoe.
Look at it, he said, holding 1t up
and turning it about. 1T seems a
good shoe, doesn't it? You can't
find anything wrong with it, car

THE old Roman here frowned i'm

this manner on the move to have a
presidential pardon grant
One Thing ed the head of the cash
At Time. register company.
There is glaring inn
pl opriety in the telegraphic appeal to
the president from Ohio for the par
don of John H. Patterson of Dayton.
Mr. Patterson has rendered valuable
service as chairman of a flood relief
committee, but he is embarrassed to
some extent by recent criminal con-
viction under the Antitrust law. The
request that is made in his behalf
is not only improper and unceremoni-
Gus; it also violates the good old rule
of one thing at time.
Mr.. Patterson's benevolences are
not new They have been widely her
aided for many years. sometimes COM
mercially. They We're we'll known to
the jury which found him guilty OF
monopolistic practices. The judge
who passed sentence upon him was
not in ignorance of his record in this
respect when he said
You men belong to the walk of life
which should set an example. You
have lost the opportunity that was
given you by the methods which you
pursued. In your desire for gain you
forgot everything else. The
only way that I can characterize your
methods is to say that they were NEAR
and petty"
1t will be noticed that Mr. Patterson
asks no executive clemency for him
self. He pleaded not guilty. HI
spent money lavishly in his defense
On his conviction he appealed ant
prepared for still greater OUTLAWS

has been no change in the situatio,
so far as he is concerned, except tina

sions has been ravaged by floods anC
that he has labored zealously for tn,

Pardons for those who are convicted

ed States, the diplomatic corps and
other distinguished persons called at
the White House, president Wilson
received them in gray sack coat.
Now we know that the president
can be depended upon to do what he
says. Any man who holds his indi-
viduality sacred and realizes in his
experience his innocent fancies, so
so that they are clean, modest and
well favored, is likely to appear him
self in more prominent events.
