Farm credita.

~
mittee of Kansas bankers is drawing
up a plan Of aid to farmers, without
waiting for the report of the COM
mission now abroad studying the var
ious systems of farm credits. This
committee is working along the line
of Improvement of agricultural meth
DDS, such as providing farm experts
to give advice to farmers, better mar
keting methods, seed selection, soil |
improvement through fertilization,
crop rotation and deep blowing. and
"a development of the stock farming |
idea, through which the products of
the farm are used on the farm for
dairy and market cattle, hogs and
sheep
These things are all excellent.
They are the most advanced ideas
in agriculture. The department of
agriculture, the experiment stations
and the agricultural press, aided by
| special bureaus of some of the rail-
roads and agricultural implement
makers, have been urging them up
on the farmers for several years,
and not without success. But they
! do not directly touch the matter of
farm credits. What the farmers
need is system of loans, by which
they can secure money to develop
their farms and pay 1t back in a
Hong term of years at low interest
the interest being figured in the in
stallment payments. Such systems
as this exist in nearly every Europ-
lean country. They are being ex-
tamined by the commission noH
abroad. The German and the
French farmer can borrow money
at a very low rate and pay it back
in small installments over long term
of years, and be in no danger OF
losing his farm. In this country
the borrowing farmer must pay a
! higher rate than the commercial

NATcHEz TRACE BOULDER.
Appropriate Inscription on This Mark
er Of Ancient History.

The handsome boulder which
marks the famous Natchez Trace,
traces of which are still percepti-
BILE along the ridge just east of
Chamberlain Hunt Academy, con-
tains a most appropriate lnscrip-
ton, composed by Mrs. Dun bar
Rowland, wife of the state archiv-
ist.
Near the top OF the large stone,
the sides of which are rough fin
ished while the face contains a
large relief plate upon which ap-
pears the inscription, appear these
words:
"This monument marks the
Natchez trace, the first high.road
over which our pioneer fathers
came to convert the wilderness
into homes and to lay the founda-
ton of a noble civilization in the
south. Over it, to and from this
historic city, has passed a count
less host of brave and knightly
spirits upon missions sacred to
home and country"
Following this is the sentence
which shows the gift to the town
by the D. A. R.:
"Presented to the city of Port
Gibson by the Mississippi Society
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, and dedicated Nov.
rs, 1919"
Then this most appropriate
verse:
"Where erst our fathers met saw
age foe,
And heather rites Profaned the
fow'ry sod,
! A goodIy city lifts its cleaning
spires
/ Ger temples raised to God"
A coated tongue, foul breath and clogged
condition in the bowels suggests the use Of
PRIcKLY ASH BITTERs. It IS Just suited
for such ailments.

So said to me the captain of the

the 21-year-old who has brought
''high-waying" in this country up

BRYAN WILL REPLY TO JAPAN.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 49,
President Wilson and his cabinet to-

reply to Japan's protest or permit the
situation to await more complete di-
plomatic interchange. The president
and Secretary Bryan conferred la
ter.
The government is endeavoring to
prevent all jingo reports spreading by
ordering all movement of troops or
warships stopped temporarily. Sec
retary Garrison denied sending coast
artillery from San Francisco to Ha-
waii because of the Japanese situa-
ton. He insisted the orders trans
ferring the artillery were issued sew
eral months ago.
After two hours session the cabi-
net instructed Secretary Bryan to
Immediately draft Americans reply

lieved the general outline of the reply
was considered but the cabinet mem

U. s. TO CONTROL THE CANAL

MOHONK LAKE, N. Y, May 16.-

to control the Panama canal and to
stipulate what tolls should be assess
ed. He said:
mo patriotic American would coun-
tenance the violation of sacred treaty
obligations. On the other hand would
not citizen be lacking in patriot
ism who would hastily and without
careful investigation. blindly accept
some interested foreign nations in
depreciation Of disputed treaty,
which would mean the surrender of
invaluable right affecting the very
safety of the country"

England and America arbitrate the
matter before specially appointed ar
bitrators, but not before The Hague
court.

bitration. As on the opening day,
there were differences of opinion as
