BANK SYSTEM FOR FARMERS
Under Raiffeison System Aercuitur-
lists Pool Their Interests and
Get Financial Status.

David Lubin. the California capi-
talist, who is Americas delegate to
the International Institute of Agri-
culture at Rome. believes strongly in
the European cooperative banking
system for farmers in this country
as well as abroad. He came from
Rome to speak to the Southern Com
mercial congress at Nashville on the
plan, setting it forth in very at
tractive form.
In Mr. Lubins judgment the
farmers principal grievance is that
outsiders control the marketing Of
his products because he is unable TO
borrow money sufficient to finance
him and enable him to hold his
products himself, instead of letting
them go for what he can get for
them and turning over to big busi-
ness" the advantage of holding them
and thus cornering markets or fix
ing prices. And the reason, he points
out, that the farmer is unable to get
the money is that he lacks the proper
rating at the banks. Now, under the
"Raiffeison system" as he describes
It In vogue for many years aDroau'
farmers for miles around combine
their resources, pool their interests
and get a financial status and rating
on which they may borrow the
money they need at reasonable rates
of interest.
How well the system might work
in the United States is debatable
;,Nl. Of really inps
seem commendable. We have been
hearing a good deal about how the
middle man" and the big busi-
ness" baron were usurping the fruits
of the farmers labor. Whether such
a system would tend to release the
farmer from their grasp trial or 1t
would soon demonstrate. Yet, as
whole, the lot and opportunity OF the
American farmer are far ahead OF
those of the European.

Worth Trying.

Every village should have club
room where the men and boys of the
place and the farms can meet their
companions. Such place would do
more to advance the cause of tenn
perance than any other one thing.
The saloon with it's gilded bar and
cheerful fire and lights to snare and
rob boys of their money and character
would soon lose it's charm If they had
club room in which to meet their
friends and companions. People who
talk loudly against the saloon evil
might oper up the easements of their
churches, provide a good reading and
rest room. furnish coffee. papers and
books and run in opposition to the sa-
loon. II elimination fails meet the
saloon evil by direct competition.

half of one The head of the house divides the
egg, ives a half to the caller and eats with him
the other part. The custom has such hold on
the people that the mobiles, even when living far
away from the fatherland. observe it. Many
years ago Prince Czartoryski was in residence in
Paris, when he held the usual reception Easter
Monday, receiving each guest at the door of his
salon, and dividing the egg in traditional style
with each visitor who ate 1t conscientiousy.
In America with its population drawn from all
sections of the globe, many Easter observances
distinctive of the various countries have been re-
tanned by the immigrants and their descendants.
So decidedly has Easter Sunday come to be
thought of in the United States the great show
day of the year that the average person no longer
regards it in its most inspiring ight-the crown
ing feast day of the Christian year Yet its re-
ligious Significance still lives and while the siren
uous money seekers of the present day seem to
have lost sight of any save it's worldly interest
the spirit of worship is by means a thing of
the past and nowhere is it more actively alive
than in the up-to-date church of great city.
Music is the chief feature of the usual service,
and no pains or money is spared to make 1t a

Easter egg rolling on the White House grounds

themselves in squads the hillocks No time

children wear their best clothes, which are
destined to be sadly mussed and more or less
torn before the day is overA yet thoroughly
democratic spirit prevails the youngsters being
of all classes.
To the eye of the casual observer the egg play
is somewhat devoid of meaning but n study of It
shows that 1T is both varied and interesting
Some Of the children make with their eggs
starting them simultaneously from the top of
hillock, with the understanding that the one to
reach the bottom first is the winner. II 1t is for

way is to roll an egg down hill, to be received
at the bottom on the point of second egg If the
thing Is properly done, and failure or success in
