BANK ENL AR CEMENT
SUGGESTED BY ITALY

the operations of existing banks. Sig
nor Martelli, president of the Savings
Bank of Florence, described a prac-
tice common with bank about Flor
ence, whereby the farmer gives o
mortgage to a bank and receives in
return an open account for certain
amount OF credit. Thus farmer who
considers that he needs credit OF
$4,000 to operate his farm gives a
mortgage for that amount to the bank.
But he does not draw out the entire
$4,000 at one time. AS he needs
money he draws on the bank. If he
wants $500, he draws only that
amount He pays interest only to the
amount which he borrowed from the
bank. In this way farmer can se-
srre credit for any amount or mon
ey, always readily available. and only
has to pay interest on the amount.
which he actually uses.
For the long term loans of the
farmers, the savings banks are allow
ed to invest up to thirty per cent of
their deposits in farm mortgages
These. mortgages are of two classes
those for periods up to ten years, ana
those for periods OF from ten TO thirty
years. The shorter term mortgage
loans are repaid by the borrowers In;
one lump sum, as In the United
States. but the longer term loans are
repaid by amortization-that Is. small
annual payments made upon the prln-
cipal OF the loan. The banks are
only permitted to charge borrowers
one-half per cent more than they are,
required to pay depositors. AT the
present time the prevalent rate is five
per cent, though generally 1t is four
per cent. Money is only loaned up to'
hry per cent of the appraised value
of the land. although the banks ac-
cept second or third mortgages so
long as the total amount of mortgage
does not exceed the fifty
per cent.

AS the Proper Solution If
America of Agricultural
Money Problem.
,sprclAl rornr TgLueaAe4


FLORENCE. italy, June 9--At the
beginning of its investigation of CO.
operative banking societies, the Amer
lean Commission on Agricultural Co
operation, assembled by the Southern
Commercial Congress, has had the adj
vantageous experience of first visit
ing part of Europe where co-opera-
tive banks have not made much head
way.
Agricultural cooperation is prac-
ticed in only one form in the country
about Florence-co-opera societies
for the purchase of AGRICULTURAL ma
chinery, fertilizer. seeds, etc. This is
chiefly due to the fact that in the
early days the merchants of Florence
were the landowners and their es-
tates were farmed on a share basis
by the peasants. the landlords fur
-nfshing the house. cattle, machinery,
fertilizers and seed, and the farmers
furnishing the work. The merchants
were able to secure all the credit they
needed to finance their farms through
their banks in Florence and the farm
ers themselves had no need of credit
If crops were bad the landlord fur
nished food for the peasant farmer
until the next harvest. This system
of land tenure still prevails, and
study of the systems near Florence
has shown the commission that CO.
operative credit institutions are only
possible where the need is great.
Comparing Italian conditions with
American, one OF the FIorentine ex-
perts who appeared before the COM
mission suggested that in the United
States the solution OF the problem of
farm finance, SO far as money for
operating the farms is concerned.

A PlarH That Coughs.

All have read of carnivorous plants, of laughing plants and of plants that weep, but who has heard of plant that coughs? There is the authority of French bota- mist, however, for the statement that plant in various tropical regions actually possesses the power to cough in the most approved man. ner. The fruit of this plant re- sembles the common broad bean. It appears that the coughing plant is something of crank, that it easi- ly works itself into a rage and that it has a curious horror of all dust. As soon as a few grains of dust are deposited on its leaves the air cham bers that cover their faces and are the respiratory organs of the plant become filled with gas, swell and end by driving out the gas with a slight explosion and sound that resembles so much the cough of a child suffering from cold as to carry d most uncanny sensation to the one beholding the phenomenon.

The Eyes ot the Eagle.

That the eagle has most won dcrfuI power of vision is shown from the fact that it flies in almost d straight line for any object which it desires to secure. Baby eagles also possess this farsightedness. Long before human eyes can discern d speck on the horizon their gaze is fixed on distance, and their cries of welcome to their parents are shrill and continuous. The structure of their eyes makes them peculiarly strong. The brightest glare of sun- light docs pot affect them. Eagles do not fly as high in the air as some other birds,, but their flight is very long and steady.

 The fourth Earl Stanhope when on his way homeward late one dark night was held up by the most gen. tlemanly of highwaymen, who pre- fcrred his request for money or the nobleman's life in quite the incest way. It happened that Lord Stan hope had not any money with him and was disinclined to yield the al- formative.
 "Your watch, then," suggested the gentleman at the opposite end of the pistol. The watch, the earl explained, was dear to him. He valued it at 100 guineas and would not surrender it. "What l will dc" ," he said, 'is to bring and deposit in this tree the worth of the watch in money, and you can call and get it tomorrow night"
 ."Done, m lord," said the high wayman.
 The law knew nothing about this arrangement, and the earl did as he had promised. He placed the 100 guincas where the highwayman might at his leisure collect it. And there, SO far as he knew, the mat ter ended.
 Years afterward he attended a great banquet in the city and found himself pleasantly entertained by an extremely we'll known man whose signature was good for a sum in several figures. Next day came to Lord Stanhope a letter inclosing the sum of 100 guineas. Accom- panying it was a note begging his acceptance of loan granted some years previously to the man who now forwarded it.
 That loan, said the letter, had en- abled the sender to gain new start in life, to make fortune and to renew acquaintance at dinner on the previous night with his lord ship. The city magnate and the hig ghwayman of earlier days were one and the same.~-London Stand. ard.
