LAMAR CONCLUDES
PROBE TESTIMONY

fairly by Newspapers.

Washington, uJly 9.-David Lamar
and Edward Lauterbach delivered
their valedictories to the senate lob
1y Investigators and were excused
from further attendance upon the ses-
sions of that body. This Closed the
chapted of incidents and accidents
which began with Representative A.
Mitchell Palmers extraordinary testi-
mony as to his interchange of views
with Lewis Cass Ledyard more than
a week ago.
Mr. Lamar swore to the committee
that he was author of the steel resolu-
ton introduced by Representative
Stanley nearly two years ago and up
on which was predicted the inVesti-
cation of the affairs of the United
Steel corporation.
Mr. Lamar told the committee he
had been unfairly treated by his op-
ponents.

Some Good Road Work Needed.

The Linden road, lying north of the
home of Reuben Ellsworth demands
improvement The grade is very steep
at this point, and part of the steep
pitch is in the city and part is in the
town. A few roads at this place, after
being properly graded ought to be
covered with crushed and the stone
filled with good binder, 1t is wise
economy to do only enduring work at
such points. The roads on steep hill
sides may be covered over and over
again with loose stones and dirt, to be
again and again washed off by the
glorious rains which follow. Enduring
road work in such places is the cheap
est in the end.

London. July 9-"There is one
and that is that cooperation is a sue
cess in Europe; whether or not it can
be applied to the different states of the
United States remains to be seem"
said Mr.. Tate of North Carolina of
the American agricultural commission,
on recounting the experiences of the
commissioners in the European coun-
tries which they had visited.
ReVoIutionized Agricultural Work.
we found" said Mr.. Tate, that
their system of rural organization had
practically revolutionized the develop
ment of agricultural work. The farm
ers who for centuries had been down
trodden and the peasantry who had
been victimized by usurers, have been
lifted up to a freedom and independ-
ence which they had never before
known through cooperative agricul-
tural societies and credit banks, which
lend them money at from 212 to 5
per cent. The terms are so liberal
that the farmers are amply able to
discharge the notes when they mature.
'The governments of Europe" con-
tinued Mr.. Tate, encourage these
cooperative societies and neglect no
opportunity to develop the agricul-
tural resources.
Social Conditions Bad.
con the other hand he have very
little to learn from the social condi
tions of country life. In nearly every
country we visited we found the wo-
men doing the farm work, sometimes
in fact, they were doing the major
portion of the field work think
this, which is due to the fact that the
young men being forced to serve
terms in the army, is a serious defect.
