HS0ENS incidentally with her comes
UlSA2ll the anniversary of one of
the great names in human
history-Saint Patrick
The record of this great patriarch,
missioner, and apostle, is proof posi-
tive of the designs of God in the
spread of the gospel. He confides not
to the mighty of this earth, but rather
to the humble, the virtuous and the
believing. He chose for his apostles
the humble fishermen Of Galilee, con-
fiding to them the plan of redemption
in the christianizing of the world.
And so he chose Saint Patrick as the
messenger of his gospel
And well did Patrick fulfil his mis-
sion and redeem the purport Of his
VOW, that the emerald gem of the
western world should become the
Mecca from which men drank at the
fountain of knowledge, and returning
to their respective homes, be the mes
sengers of the gospel of peace under
the new dispensation. So Jealous
were the works of Saint Patrick that
from A. D. 432, when he landed in Ire
land, to 493, when he died at the ad-
vanced age of 120 years. the whole ma
tion was Christianized churches and
colleges bedecked the land, and the
youth of Britain, Scotland and France
repaired to the hospitable isle. to gain
the advantages of advanced education.
Thence, on to the ninth century, the
foundation of faith and learning, laid
by Saint Patrick, gave to the country
the appellative distinction of the land
of saints and scholars. 1t was in
ireland King Alfred the Great of Eng
land received his education in the
ninth century, and through the mis-
sionaTy SUCCESSORS of Patrick, the
Briton, the Picts and Scots of Gale
donia and adjacent isles were con-
verted to Christianity.
Though almost fifteen centuries
have elapsed since the ministrations
of Patrick began, his work goes brave
ly on, and the faith which inspired
his zeal finds willing disciples in his
followers OF today. His name is
written in the diptychs of far-distant
churches in charity's gold letters"
From Australia to Labrador, from
Canada to China; aye, in the remotest
islands of the sea, the missionary
labors of the Celt are traced today,
and so the name of Ireland's patron
saint keeps pace with the rising and
the setting of the sun.

Lesson In Gaelic Leoends.

The first years of the twentieth CEN
ury have brought something new and
reviving to the literature of the
vorld. 1t is a great fountain of Gaelic
egend that has been eagerly well
sosned, for there is reaction against
nineteenth century materialism which
ends to express itself in the love of
ymbols. This great store of newly
Inearthed legend has stimulated the
imagination of the world with strange
ales and passions and phantases and
'cSiry kingdoms. 1t has resulted in a

American Commission Studies
Mortgage Loans to Farmers

Weisbaden, Germany, July 1.-THE
American Commission on Agricultural
Cooperation came to Weisbaden from
Heidelberg, where half day had been
spent visiting typical local Raiffeisen
societies in the. neighboring farming
comMunities. A subcommittee Of the
commission remained in Heidelberg to
attend the meetings of the convention
of Raifteisen Cooperative officials,
The first institution visited by the
commission in Weisbaden was the
Nassau District Mortgage Credit Bank
a government institution extending
mortgage loans at cost, principally
for the benefit of small farmers who
.predominate in Nassau. 1t was the
first institution of this type visited by
the commission.
The bank was organized in 1910 by
the government of what was then the
Grand Duchy of Nassau. 1t has con
tinued in the mortgage business eve
since and has never lost dollar tt

if the loan be granted the farmers
mortgage is registered and also the
bank records with the mortgage the
fact that bonds to an equal amount
have been issued. The entire trans
action costs the farmer about $40. The
bond draws interest at the lowest prac-
ticable rate--now IL per cent be-
cause Of bad money market-and the
farmer pays to the bank this same rate
of interest, plus enough to cover the
expenses Of the bank. This is about
1-2 per cent in an economically con-
Quoted institution. Besides this pay
ment, the farmer pays each year fix
ed amount in amortization charges
that is a fixed amount which Is used
to reduce the principal Of his loan. In
the German Landschaften institutions
the payment of this amortization
charge Is optional with the farmer. In
the Nassau institution payment of
amortization charges is obligatory and
the value of this law was clearly de-
monstrated to the American commits
sioners by the bank directors, who pre-
scented a table to show the compare
tive freedom of debt OF the Nassau
farmers. Through this practice the
farmers of Nassau are required each
year to pay off their indebtedness.
The most interesting feature OF the
Nassau bank is the government guar
antee given the bonds. There is oil
vision of opinion among the members
of the American commission as to the
advisability of government guarantees
for land bonds. Those opposed to thu
plan point out that if the farmers de
faulted in their payments it would be
come necessary for the government
the guarantor to dispossess the farm
, ers of their land, and they assert tina
, there is apt to be so much politics i

/. is tn same thing as the state selling
~ man out for non-payment of intere
?. charges on a mortgage. Just what a
n vantage there is in the governmel
p guarantee can be better judged by Il

ness is the same as that followed by
practically all mortgage institutions Of
Europe-that is, it accepts mortgages
on real estate and issues land bonds
equal in amount to the mortgages. The
bonds are split up into small amounts,
as low as SIS, in order that small in
vestors can buy them. The money re-
ceived by the bank from the sale OF
the bonds is used to supply money to
the farmers on their mortgages The
bonds are secured by the mortgages.
But the holder of the bond looks only
to the bank to pay the interest and
principal of his bond. The bank as
sumes the responsibility for the pay
ments of the farmer and it is this fea-
ture which makes investors more will
ling to buy the mortgages offered by
American farmers, and also which
! makes the investors willing to accept
lower rate of interest. The bank
carries on this business as nearly as
possible without profit. Where a
profit is made it is turned over to the
government to reduce the taxes of the
landowners.
In the case of the mortgage bank OF
Nassau, however, there is second guar
antee placed behind the land bonds
the guarantee of the government
When Nassau was an autonomous Ger
man state the guarantee was given by
the government of the Grand Duchy
of Nassau. Nassau has been absorbed
by Prussia and there is a provision il
the constitution of that state forbid
ding the government, to guarantee tn
obligations of a company which is pei
mitted to assume unlimited indebted
ness. Therefore the guarantee of tn
land bonds of the Nassau bank wa
turned over to the communes of tn
Administrative District of Nassau
This is, however, a strong governmer
guarantee and the sufficiency of it

WARMLY PRAISES
GEN. PERSHING
GENERAL BELL GIVES OFFICER
CREDIT FOR WORK. IN PAci-
FLYING MoRos.

Washington, July 17.-Major Cen
eraI Bell, commanding the Philippines
department warmly praises Brigadier
General John J. Pershing for the man
ner In. which he conducted his cam !,
paign to disarm the Moros. 1t is not
the first time that Gen. Pershing has
been mentioned in dispatches" and
when the history of the Philippines
comes to be written it is probable that
to the fighter from Missouri will be |
given the credit for doing the biggest
share of the trough work" incident to
the pacification of the islands.
General Pershing has been fighting
in the Philippines the greater part
the past ten years. In 1906 he was
singled out by President Roosevelt in
one of his messages to Congress for
/ his distinguished services in his nights
against the Moros in the Lake Llano
country. There, his senior officer be-
ing incapacitated, the command OF
battalion devolved upon him. Captain
Pershing was away from civilization
and almost cut off from communica-
ton with the outside world. For seven
months he kept open his base of oper-
ations, supplied his own subsistence
and. with his men, fought every day
and part of the night. He started at
the lower end of the lake and fought
clear around it's circumference, eXter-
; minating hostile natives or making
, peace with their chiefs. Gen. Mac
: Arthur, then in command of the Phil
ippines, recommended hi mfor promo
. ton to brigadier general as the only
I recognition commensurate with his
actual services. Thereupon the Presi
= dent Jumped Captain Pershing oVel
:, the heads of S62 officers of higher RAM
c and made him a brigadier general II

II of General Funston, who was made
I. brigadier from the volunteers after tn
It capture of Aguinaldo, there Is no othe

The latest dispatches from the Phi
lippines indicate that the recent fgh
ing has been as severe as any tha
marked the earlier career Of Generi
Pershing in the islands. For days tn
y American troops have been fghtir
