hardly probable there be more than

announce speaking dates. If the race
is between two it is probable there
will be joint canvass, at least a part
of the time. The candidates are re-
quired this year to file a pledge to
support the nominee in the general
election and not to be q candidate on
any other ticket.
All counties of the state must look
after the expense of the primary, the

Il expect no difficulty from any

to pay the judges and clerks in the

to pay the sheriffs for distributing

Judge G. w. Hays, one of the candi-
dates Wednesday afternoon, "for until
the Democratic primaries were legal

THRIFT.

The American Bankers association
in one OF its treatises on thrift says:
eve hear more or less about
abandoned farms in some parts OF the
country There are not great many
which are actually abandoned as not
worth cultivation at all. But there
are many which owners or renters
have given up to some one else. be-
cause they have not been able to make
them pay.
.The writer took ride with coun-
try doctor in northern New York one
dav last summer. Quite number Of
vacant and tumble down farm houses
were passed along the way. IN reply
to question about them, the pnvsl-
clan said that in most cases these
farms had been taken over by the own
er OF an adjoining farm who had been
moro thrifty than his neighbor and
who was now cultivating the enlarged
farm more economically and ehciently
than 1t would be possible to operate
tho two smaller farms separately.
eThere is no better illustration OF
the possibilities Of thrift on the farm
than is found in the frequent cases OF
renters who become owners, by max
ing the change from paying straight
rent to paying interest on a mortgage
and gradually paying OF the debt. This
Is the story Of many. younger son or
hired man who strikes our ror himself.
1T takes brains as well as muscle
to run farm nowadays and 1t Is. the
man who uses good common sense and
takes advantage of modern ideas
(throug the grange, the agricultural
press, the agricultural schools and in
other ways) who gets ahead on the
farm.
"The farmer who plans his work
Systematically, who takes good care
OF his stock and his tools, who makes
the best use Of his time, is very likely
to succeed II others are succeeding in
his locality. Whatever the specially
OF the region Is. whether dairying,
fruit raising or general farming, the
combination of brains, Drawn, deter
mination and good habits, including
genuine thrift, is likely to win out in
the end

PERIL IN BANK BILL FOR BUsi
X NESS MEN.

NESS MEN.
An amendment to the currency bill
laden with a revolutionary character
refers to savings departments In ma
tional banks. Deposits in the saw
ings department could not be used by
banks In the regular way. but must be
ke 1T separate. .
Very stringent regulations are laid
down for the investment Of such funds.
"A Philadelphia city bond is not con-
sidered good enough, and, OF course,
everything less sound Is barred.
The vast significance OF such
scheme becomes apparent upon fnves-
tixation. In Pennsylvania there are
more than $500, 100000 in banks which
bankers consider as savings deposits.
Less than half that sum is in regular
savings banks.
Country banks estimate that more
than half their deposits are really saw
inKs deposits, but the money Is Loaned
in the usual way. Under the owen
Glass bill all such deposits would be
segregated, They would be entirely
removed from the ordinary and Gus
tonary channels OF banking. ~
This money could not be borrowed
by any business man, no matter Il ne
were to offer United States govern
ment bonds for collateral. These saw
ings deposits would have to be invested
according to rules specified in the bill:
Country banks would be hit much
harder by such scheme than the big
city banks. Local merchants and other
borrowers would find only half the
available supply of funds in banks
which are now ettheir disposal
Combined with other sections of the
pending bill, which aims to remove
from the rich eastern states large
portion of their banking capitai TINS

aroxise a strong antagonistic business
