TO BENEFIT THE FARMER.

President Wilson in his mes
sage urges the immediate pas
sage Of currency legislation. He
asserts that business interests of
the nation are waiting on the ex-
pected law before making large

resources. Tho president also
calls attention to conditions as
they exist at present, which
make il very difficult for the
farmer to finance his crop. He
urges in his annual message pro-
visions that will safeguard the
farmer, help his credit and pre-
vent a repetition Of the neces.

PRESIDENT MAKES KNOWN
HIS Philippine POLICY.

President Wilson's policy to-
ward the Philippine Islands 10
made clear in his message. Hs
urges the development Of tho
Philippines, always keeping in

a great many bankers in North Da-
