Every Farmer His Own Capitalist.

little property, credit is a will-o'-
the wisp. Hunt as he may, the real
ly poor man may not find this clue
to the location of even such infini-
tesimal amounts of money as might
by giving him an increased capabili-
ty of production, tide him over real
crises. Credit has never been
fluid enough to serve all who de-
serve it. There is practically no
means of securing it, save mort
gage, for the American who has no
private connections for short credit.
For man, particularly a farmer,
to obtain credit on his working
power, his thrift, his visualizing of
a new capacity for production when
he possesses all the resources but
money, there is as yet no generally
available system.
1t is the stimulating evolution of
two such systems for short credit
both originating in Germany, which
gives us need to take leaf from
the Teutonic book. Two methods
for holding stable, for turning to
positive account that intangle cred
it so mocking to the poor man in
the United States, have for fifty
years been used to coerce money
from its mysterious haunts at the
rainbow's end. The two systems
are known by names of their found
ers F. w. Raiffeisen, and Hermann
Schulze, of Delitzch, a little VILLAGE
in the Grand-Duchy Of Saxony
from which he and his banks are
known as Schulze-Delitzch. The
former are entirely banks for farm
ers, each restricted to a single viii
lage; the latter chiefly for small and
large .tradespeople, and all classes
of people in the cities and large
towns. Yet of the four billion dol
al turnover of nine hundred and
sixty Schulze-Delitzch banks in
their national association, one fourth
represents loans for agricultural
purposes.
The rural banks with unlimited
liability were started in the Wester.
valid, a poverty-stricken region in
the province of Westphalia on the
Rhine. entirely under the domina-
ton of the usurer. Herr Raiffeisen.
who originated these rural banks
was a well-to.do and charitable gen.
tleman who was from time to time
chosen burgomeister in these viii
lagos for the benefit he was able to
give them. When be was burso-
meister of Weyerbusch, little
farming village a few miles from
Neuwied on the Rhine. he endeav-
ored to get the people out of the
hands of the userers by getting
them loans at low rates from the
large laudholders. He soon saw,
however. that if the farmers would
all come together, unite their buy
ing power, and pledge all their
property as security, they could es-
tablish without help their own
credit, and borrow and buy what
they needed. Beginning at Weyer-
busch and Heddesdorf, he aided the
farmers to organize little co-opera-
tive credit societies, without shares,
ruled by the general meeting in
which each member has one vote
the universal system of co-pera-
tive voting.
For many years these little
banks did not spread more than
a hundred miles from the valley of
the Rhine, but today they cover the
empire and number in their MEM

Mr.. Ednuard D'Oize.

Excepting perhaps Mr., Otis Skin.
ner there is no actor today, who has
essayed Shakespearean roles, whose
reading of the lines of the immortal
Lard equals in intelligence and quail
ity of tone that of the young actor,
Mr.. Edouard D'Oize. This rapidly
rising young artist has not alone &C
complished the proper characterize
tionof Shakespaarc's stellar roles, but
his strong personality is particularly
adaptable to the roles of his especial
study. In the character of Shylock,
the Jew of Venice, Mr. D'Oize has
triumphed over actors of even greater
years, so well is he adapted to the i'm
PRESERVATION. In the master comedy,
THE Merchant Of Venice" Mr.. D'Oize
has already made an impression that
is lasting, and one which will remain
in memory of his audiences. The ac-
tors voice and physique, coupled with
an almost novel understanding and in
depreciation of the character, pecu-
harly fit him for the demanding role.
His production of "The Merchant"
this season is proving all that has
been said of it-a masterpiece of act
ing and stage establishment. Mr..
D'Oize will be seen at the Howell
Iheater on Monday evening, Septem-
Der %, 1913.
