Winchester, Mass.-The factory OF
the New England Fireworks company

of an explosion. carrying with II Man
ager Ernest Borelli and three work
men. Borelli was thought to have
been killed, when portions OF his CLOTH

searching party discovered him IN a
clump Ct bushes mile from the scena

what had happened. He was taken to
the hospital. but later was sent home.
The wo1kmen were badly burned.
Debris was scattered for several
miles and the detonation was felt for
a great distance. The building was OF
flimsy construction and the monetary

Remarkable Financial Record In

$4,000 copies were sold Of the first
number, and by the time the fourth

was doubled. The result was that
Rochetort was soon making $1,000 a

mer these days. 1t is almost as popu-
lar topic as better tenements' for
the city and good roads Tor motor
club members to use and farmers to
pay for In all have read and heard
no one seems yet to have got down to
brass lacks with a real financial uplift
plan for the farmer.
1.-TWO phases of the farmers predica-
ment have enlisted my personal inter
est because they run directly counter
to the way my mother has always
handled her wealth In relation to the
public good.
First Is the rate Of interest the
farmer has to pay for money he Dor
rows. Government statistics show
that 100000 farmers Of the United
States pay an average interest rate
Of 81s per cent upon borrowed cap
ital of about 1892 100000 20 work
crops on land valued at SAC, 1000, 000, 900.
Since my mother began her career as
q business woman she has never asked
more than 6 per cent year for the
use Of her money. The bulk Of her
loans have been at rates considerably
below per cent. In France and Ger.
many the farmer gets all the money he
wants at from SIC to A per cent.
1.-THE second phase Of the problem
l have observed is the action Of banks
throughout the country In sending
their balances to Wall street, forming
q huge fund used for speculative pur.
poses. These balances represent the
net business profit of each particular
locality the very cream OFF the pan
OF milk in the cool springhouse-yet
the creators of this surplus wealth, the
farmers. are starved financially when
they apply for leans. because the funds
of the community are in Wall street
being used in stock and bond promo
tons reaching even to China and the
Philippines.
For years my mother has held to
the belief ard has absolutely lived up
! 10 IL, DIS ldE GS USI luHutUCe anu pONer
have gone, that every community Is
entitled to the full benefit Of its pros
perity. She always made it an invio-
liable rule that profits acquired in a
given locality belonged to that locality
and should always Re reinvested in
that locality. Our books are diviaed
into different cities; We keep an &C.
count Of San Francisco money sepa.
rate from Chicago money; Toledo
money separate from New York
money, while Texas not only has its
own net profits left there for reinvest.
ment in Texas enterprises, but now
and then gets additional help from sur.
plus funds"
Colonel Green explained that the ap.
plication Of his mothers principles OF
home cash for home people and her
rule of 6 per cent or less would work
wonders In giving the farmer freer
hand II generally adopted.

German Tastes In Tobacco.

Cigarettes are constantly being
smoked in larger quantities In Ger
many. In 1897 approximately one bill.
lion one hundred million cigarettes
we're manufactured in Germany. while
the present production is about nine
times as large. Statistics show the
phenomenal increase of the German
cigarette industry. Output for 1911
shows an increase Of IL per cent. as
compared with 1910, and So per cent
a. compared with 1907. which means
that production has almost doubled In
i've years. The tremendous increase
In output appears to he due to rapidly
increasing consumption OF cheap cisa.
