CREDIT UNIONS FOR FARMER
All Persons Concerned With Welfare
Of Cotton Should Feel Interested
in the Gronna Bill.

Planters Of cotton and all persons
concerned with the welfare Of cotton
growers in this country should feel a
special interest in the likelihood of a
congressional inquiry into the Credit
Foncier Of Paris and the Landschaften
OF German, for the reason that these
devices are primarily intended to en-
able farmers to hold their crops for
the best prices. by furnishing them
the means of securing cheap loans up
on their crops. says the Columbus. S.
c., State.
The state department is already
gathering data on the subject, but the
Gronna bill, which has passed the SEN
ate and is now pending in the lower
house of congress. authorizes the presi-
dent to appoint a commission of three
men, not more than two of whom are
to be Of the same political party, ito
investigate the operations of cooper
alive land-mortgage banks and of CO.
operative rural credit unions in other
countries" The commission Is to re-
port within a year to congress. and to
recommend how the systems of land
mortgage banks and rural credit
unions which have proved successful
abroad may be adapted to the use Of
agriculturists OF America. Senator
Gronna thinks that such a commission
could do the work required more thor
oughly than the state department.

aroused by the sounds of feline dis

What is the matter on the back
porch, Bernardo"
There are 40 cats out there" the
boy replied from his post of observa-
ton at the window.
You don't mean that there are

Snefru, who was king OF Egypt

KEYNOTE TO FARM SUCCESS
Man Who Counts II Economy to Keep
Cows on Starvation Rations Is
Pooling Nobody but Himself.

This is the keynote to success on
the farm-feed your brain, feed your
stock, feed your land. The drone who
dozes away winter evenings "o'er
pipe and mug" and the winter morn
ings in bed, is not the one who sue
ceeds.
Read, observe. think and think
deeply. Feed your brain that you may
know how tn feed your stock The
man who counts 1t economy to keep
his cows on starvation rations and
his horses down to skin and bones
will never get one bit ahead.
Poorly fed stock provides poor feed
for the soil in the way of manure. and
their owner will probably be CORE
spondingly lax in applying it. AS to
commercial fertilizers. they are en-
tirely beyond his comprehension.
Such a man better get off the farm;
the sooner the better, both for him.
self and the farm. He may succeed,
after a fashion, in working for some
one else as a clerk, street car con-
ductor or city policeman-we have
known such cases-but they never
get beyond the bottom round Of the
ladder.

VALUABLE QUALITY TO HAVE
Man Who Can See the True Possibii-
ties Of Other Men Is the One
That Succeeds.

Seeing" men is an art. 1t amounts
almost to second sight. Often, in a
business line" some man makes his
way mysteriously and rapidly to the
top, or near to 1t. He does not seem
to have greater trading ability than
many others, nor has he been favored
by a larger capital or a more mag
netic personality. But he rises. His
faculty of seeing" men has been the
magical force.
1t is no trick at all to discover the
man who has triumphantly made a
record, who is already a personality
in this trade or that. Unfortunately,
such a man Is unfailingly costly.
What he has done, moreover, is no
positive guarantee as to his future ex-
ploits. Men of great reputation as
lieutenants many times prove great
disappointments when they shift. The
chief who sees" picks a man whose
reputation is yet to be made, and
thereby gets the profit himself.-Har-
