FARM INDUSTRY LAGS.

| has. ~singularly enough, come to pass
that we have allowed the industry Of
our farms to lag behind the other actiyi-
ties of the country in its development. L
need not stop to tell YOU how funda-
mental to the life of the Nation is the
production of its food. Our thoughts
may ordinarily be concentrated upon the
cities and the hives of industry, apon the
cries of the crowded market place and
the clangor of the factory. but it is from
the quiet interspaces OF the open valleys
and the free hillsides that we draw the
sources of life and Of prosperity. from
the arm and the ranch, from the forest
and the mine. Without these every
street would be silent, every office desert
ed. every factory fallen INTO disrepair.
And vet the farmer does not stand upon
the same footing with the forester and
the miner in the market of credit. he is
the servant of the seasons. Nature de
termines how long he must wait for his
crops, and will not be hurried in her
process. lie may give his note. but the
season OF its maturity depends upon the
season when his crop natures. lies at the
gates of the market where his products
are sold. And the security he gives is
of IA character not known in the brokers'
office or as familiarly as it might be on
the counter of the banker.

JOINT SESSION OF
CONGRESS- TO-DAY
Continued from page one)

III America: we are more than its friends
we are its champions; because i'm no
other way can cur neighbors. to whom
we would wish in every way TO make
proof of our friendship. work out their
own development in peace and liberty.
Mexico has no government. The attempt
to maintain II at the City of Mexico
has broken down. and Il mere military
despotlsm has been set up which has
hardly more than the semblance of ma
tlonal authority. 1t originated in the
uSurpatiOll of NictorianO Huerta. who.
after a brief attempt to play the part
OF constitutional president, has at last
cast aside even the pretnse of legal right
and declared himself dictator. AS a con
sequIice. a condition of affairs now ex-
lists in Mckee which has made it doubt
ful whStht + even the mos elementary and
fundamental rights ether Of her own
people or Of the citizens Of other cOun-
tries resident within her territory can
long be successfully safcguarded. and
which threatens. if long continued. to
imperil the interests of peace. order. and
tOlerable life in the lands immediately to
the south of us. Even if the usurper had
succeeded in his purposes. in despite of
the constitution Of the Republic and the
rights or its people. he would have set up
nothing but a prccariOus and hateful
power. which could havet lasted but a
little while. and whose eventual downfall
would have left the country in a more
deplOrable condition than ever. But he
has O succeeded. He has forfeited the
respect and the moral support even Of
thOs who were at one time willing to see
him succeed. Little by little he has been
completely isolated. BY a little every
day his power and prestige are crumb-
ling and the collapse is not far away.
We shall not. | believe. be obliged to al
ter our policy of watchful waiting. And
then. when the end comes, we shall hope
to see constitutional order restored in
distressed Mexico by the concert and
energy of such of her leaders as prefer
the liberty Of their people to their own
ambitions.

The new pastor stated also that plans
viii be undertaken in short order for the
completion OF the interior of the Church
of the Sacred Heart. which though being
used by the congregation has not been
entirely finished. Chairs are being used
whereas it is the intention TO install

chasing a church organ.

We lag behind many other great cQun-
tries of the modern world in attempting
to do this. Systems of rural credit have
been studied and developed oh the other

rers to shift for themselves in the ord
mary money market. You have but to
look about you in any rural district to
see the result, the handicap n embar-
rassnlent which have been put upon
those who produce our food.
TO STUDY RURAL CREDIT SYSTEMS
Conscious Of this backwardness and
neglect on our part. the Congress recently
authorized the creation of a special com
mission to study the Various systems OF
rural credit which have been put into
operation in Europe. and this commission
is already prepared to report. It's report
ought to make it easier for MS to deter

orr W farmers. 1 hope and believe
that the committees Of the Senate and
House will address themselves to this
matter with the most fruitful results.
and I believe that the studies and recent
Iy formed plans of the Department of
Agriculture NAV be made TO serve them
very greatly in their work of framing
appropriate and adequate legislation. 1t

and upon its passage they will find them
selves quit of many of the difficulties

should be given no special privilege, such
as extending to them the credit of the
