AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION.
AMERICAN COMMISSION STUDY
ING IN EUROPE
Banking and Marketing Are The Sub
jects Receiving Attention just at
This Time.


ian government the American commits
sion on agricultural cooperation was
brought here from Flume the prin-
cipal Hungarian seaport.
The agriculture of Hungary lacks
the extreme intensiveness which was
so marked in Italy, probably because
of insufficient labor. Rural Hungary
more closely resembles rural Ameri-
ca than any other country of Europe.
In years past Hungary, like the
United States, resorted to foreign i'm
migration to increase her population.
But wars and the too rapid increase
of foreign peoples prevented any as
similation and today in Hungary there
manians, Ruthenians, CrOats, Ser
Vians, Saxons and what not, all cling.
ing to their languages and fighting
against race extinction. In every
attempt made to further agricultural
interests Of the country these con-
ditions had to be taken into consider
alton. The big estates owned by the
nobility complicated matters The
serfs were given their freedom Just
at the time when the landed nobil-
ity was financially in the worst condi-
ton.
But despite these handicaps the
Hungarian government has construct.
eu q system of gricuitural credit both
for mortgage loans and for short time
credit needs of the farmers which
mas proven of the .'eatest value. Gov
eminent aid has played an import
ant part in the work.
The mortgage credit institutions of
hungary are neither purely co-opera-
tive nor strictly private. The Oldest
and most important mortgage bank Of
Hungary is the Hungarian Land Mort
gage Institute, founded in 1863. The
government contributed $500, 900 OF
the capital stock Of the company and
the balance was subscribed by found
ers' who, however, were only re-
quired to pay i'm 10 per cent of the
amount of the stock for which they
subscribed. These founders receive a
dividend limited to per cent of
their subscriptions. Besides the
founders. e.ery landowner who plac-
ed mortgage with the bank is q
members of the bank. Only mortgagors
VINO nave mortgage Indebtedness
to the bank Of at least $500 have
any personal voice in the affairs of
the bank The other members may
elect representatives to the general
meeting. OF course as soon as a farm
crs' mortgage expires his member
ship in the bank ends
Under this form of organization
the Hungarians attempted to secure
the cooperative principle, of represcn-
tation Of the borrowing farmers, while
AT the same time placing the
greater part of the power in the hands
OF the founders. only the founders
have the power to elect the president
and board of control. The manage

MIMI TURNS TURTLE
EIGHTEEN DROWNED
German Bark Pulled off Sands
at Nehalem Capsized by
the Terrific Seas.
GALE PREVENTED RESCUE
Men Were Reckless-Mates OF Vessel
Refused to Go Aboard and So
y Saved Their Lives.

Brighton, Or, April 6.--Eight hun
dred feet off Nehalem sand spit in the
midst of a terrific sea, pitched by a
heavy wind, at least 26 men, including
several prominent civil engineers and
marine men Of Portland, are struggling
against death on board the fourmasted
German bark Mimi, which capsized to-
day, after being pulled into deep water
from the sand beach which she had
struck February 13,
The fate of the men is held secret
by the fury Of the ocean, which has
made rescue impossible. Darkness to-
night saw the figures Of the men cling
ing to the boat, and the wind brought
their cries for help to the ears Of 1000
or more people gathered on the shore
nearby, but every attempt at rescue
met with failure. The United States
life.saving crew from Garibaldi worked
almost within hailing distance of the
men and employed every means to get
a line or lifeboat to them, but with
out success,

It is high time that the taxpayers Of

city officials where to head in,

Il has taken the city attorney four
months to prepare the papers in the

for a $l5OO-a.year attorney.
Why didn't the mayor and council,
after reasonable length Of time had

that the eastern concern will not turT

CLAIM WIRELESS
REACHES SPIRITS
Psychical sharps Claim Wireless Mes
sages Are Surrounded by Spirits
by the Hundreds.
By Carton Ten Eyck.

(Written for the United Press.)
New York, April 7.-Communication
with the spirit world by means of
wireles telegraph apparatus is the latest
sensation reported in New York psychic
al circles. Within the last few days a
complete wireless station has been in
stalled in the Temple Of Modern Spirit
ualism, and, according to its pastor, the
Rev. DR.. Richard r. Schleusner, regular
messages have been transmitted to and
received from "those on the other
side"
DR.. Schleusner and others connect
ed with the temple explain that the
sending apparatus is operated by a
weakened current to prevent its mes
sages from being picked up by the reg
ular wireless stations around the city
But the spirit operators are so sensi
tive to the wireless waves that they
can read the faintest messages sent out
and their responses, while feeble, are en-
tirely Ineligible to the receiving op
orator at the terrestrial end Of the wire
less. .
At first, it is said, there was no re
sponses to messages sent out from the
church. This was explained by the fact
that the spirits had not "practiced
the code and could not read the mes
sages as well as they could send them
an explanation that would appear rea
seaable to anyone who has practised or
binary Morse telegraphy. But, owinl
to their keener faculties, the spirit
quickly became expert in sending botl
Morse and Continental codes.
"wo operate our station by placinI
one or more Of our mediums beside tn
telegraph OPERATOR" explained one o
the officials Of the temple. The medi
um attracts the spirits or controls, a
we call them, within the radius Of ou
: wireless current.
when the medium has establishe
/, the proximity Of a control, message
given the operator and he sends it
the ordinary manner. Almost Instant
the reply comes and conversation o'
@ tween the medium and the controls col
tinue without interruption for sever
o minutes. Then the communication b
9 comes confused b the efforts OF oth'
controls trying to transmit messages
their own, and the station has to sh'
down for awhile, until the spirits st'
=, crowding around"
# DR.. schleusner said that the succe
n with the wireless telegraph apparat
a had convinced him that, by means
N the wireless telephone, direct commul
p cation by speech. with the spirit wor
is possible.
10 DR.. schleusner said the temple mt
nj not be confused with the fakirs tn
&, have brought discredit upon spiritu
I'd ism. He said his organization, is dol

THE FRESHMAN GLEE
AT THE WILLAMETTE
Winning Song Written by Kate Barton,
Music by Bruce Mcdaniel,
Both Of Salem.

The most elaborate college function
held at Willamette this year occurred
in the university chapel Saturday even
ing when the annual Freshman glee
took place. The big glee pennant
awarded the class presenting the best
school song was won by the sopho-
mores. They were closely seconded by
The Freshman who were just one point
behind.
The words Of the winning song were
written by Kate Barton and the music
for it was composed by Bruce McDan'
iel, both Of this city. The words Of the
freshman song, which took all the first
on composition, were written by j. r.
Balm, young poetic genius from Tilla-
nook.
The chapel decorations under the di-
rectiOn of R. w. Little, were the most
elaborate conceivable. The bare walls
were screened with lattice work and
panels Of the freshman colOrs. Glass
shields, university emblems and ever
green were arranged on the lattice work
to good effect The stage was a veri,
table flower garden with palms, ferns
and cut flowers prevailing in abund-
ance. There was an interesting pro-
gram.
The Words Of the Winning Song.
In the westland stands college,
That in the bygone years,
Near a rivers course was founded
By the sturdy pioneers,
Whose visions for the future
OF their beloved land,
Led them through trials and hard
ships
With a firm and steady hand.
CHORUS
Here 3 to thy gold and cardinal;
Here 3 to thine ancient lore,
Here's to the hearts that beat fo
thee,
Loyal forevermore.
Now the same old dauntless spirit
Still burns in every breast,
Urging on to new achievement,
Calling us to do our best.
And so within her portals,
While hearts are light and free,
Let's fill our cups O'erflowing
For our dear old Varsity.
In the golden future cleaning,
The mystic hand we see
OF success, bright and alluring,
Beck ming to our Varsity.
We vow wen heed her message
With hearts inspired anew
And win the offered laurel
For our own Willamette U.
