the score was tie--31 all. However.
Lawrence soon pulled his team ahead
when he tossed a foul goal and few
seconds later hasketed the ball for a
free goal.

be of little service were it not the

FARM LAND CREDIT SYSTEM
TO SAVE $50, 900, 900 YEARLY
Pay s5o0oooooo Interest on Six Billion
Annual Lcan-Europe's Low Rates Based
Better Security

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Tl,at the
adoption of a well-organized system Of
agricultural credits backed by govern
mental support and under official super
vision would save to American farmers
annually a sum estimated at from $780,
000000 to S2O0,000,000 is the conclusion
or experts here who have given careful
study TO this question. AS a result of the
facts that have been brought out the
conviction is expressed that there is no
more important subject before the coun-
try at the present time than that OF
devising means of supplying the farmers
OF the country with credit facilities equal
to those enjoyed by men in other lines of
business and of enabling them to secure
funds for the permanent improvement
OF their lands on terms approaching those
enjoyed by European agriculturisss.
Probably few persons realize that
American farmers must borrow capital
of over s., 900, 0o0, COO every year to carry
on their work Of adding some $1,000, 000-
0Gn to our national wealth For this
they pay interest of more than $500

missions and renewal charges. averages

Germany the farmer pays 3Ls to AZ

It is not to be expected that such low
rates can be reached in this country in
the immediate future, but it is believed
that by the adoption of plans similar to
those which have succeeded in giving
the farmers of France and Germany the
advantages OF cheap credit very great
saving can be effected and that the Ell
lcicncy of the American farm can be
increased at the same time. President
TAFT is showing great interest in this
subject and By his direction the diplo-
matte and consular representatives of the
United States are engaged in collecting
information on this subject from the
various countries to which they are ac-
credited Ex-Governor Myron T. Her

BREAD.

The value OF different kinds OF
bread has been discussed for many
years and from various points Of
view since the days OF Sylvester Ora
ham. This temperance reformer of the
early part OF the nineteenth century
based his cure for alcoholism on GER
tain radical changes IN diet, laying
special stress on abstinence from
meats, and the use OF bread made
from unbolted wheat meal. Hence the
names graham flour and graham

Wheat deserves the widespread
consideration which has been given it.

food. Il easily ranks first among the
food products at our disposal, although
rice probably forms the staple food
for larger proportion of the human
race. The wheat kernel is made up

REGULATION OF URBAN uTiLt
TIES.

One of the problems which will no
doubt confront the ttirty-fifth general
assembly OF Iowa will be the regula-
ton of urban utilities, such as water
gas, electric, and telephone compan-
les. Consequently there Is special
timeliness in a paper on this subject,
by Mr.. q. Fl. Downey, which appears
in the first volume OF the Iowa Ar
piled History Series" jus. published
by the state Historical Society OF
Iowa. Mr.. Downey discusses the need
Of regulating urban utilities, points
out the failure of attempts at local
municipal control, and shows the
necessity of state regulation. An ac.
count of the efforts of the cities OF
Iowa to regulate their public service
industries In the past is supplemented
by comparative study of state reg
ulation in other commonw ealths. In
conclusion the writer shows that the
only effective method Of regulating
urban utilities is by means OF a well
supported state commission having
extensive powers In the matter OF
rates, standards Of service, capitaN-
zation, mergers, franchises, and ac-
counts.
