Safety Razors In Surgery.

Here is an interesting piece of infor-
nation for the safcty-raZor makers. The
surgeons cat least one of them) ara
throwing away scalpels and using safety
razor blades in their stead In the Jour
nal of the American Medical Association,
DIR. John Is. Murphy-who is, by the way,
the DR.. Murphy, of the BUTTON" and
miscellaneous surgical fame-dcscribes
several handles by means of which the
various types of razor blade may be
safely. and conveniently. and instantly
transformed into useful surgical tools.
Every surgeon. says DR.. Murphy. has
been annoyed by dull scalpels. Safety

scalpels," are cheap and readily obtain
able. The doctor has for some time urged
them ''in all" his work. and found them
in every way satisfactory.
This information is of practical interest
chiefly to surgeons and instrument max
ers. As a new utilization of a waste
product. however. and a particularly odd
one it seems worthy of the attention OF
its prospective victim as well-New York

Savinu His leqs.

Doctors may err, even in the still
ness of the sickroom. How much
more, then, are they likely to make
mistakes in the uproar of the battle
field! That this is so is shown by
the experience of the famous Russian
General, Dragomiroff, who once mar
rowly escaped losing both his legs.
He commanded a division during the
Russo Turkish war and fell in the
fighting at the Shipka Pass, wounded
i'll several places. He was carried,
unconscious. To a field hospital. and
came to himself Just as the doctors
were about to amputate both legs.
Dragomirom said he would rather
take his change of dying, but they
persisted Then he drew a revolver
and swore he would blow out the
brains of the first man who tried to
use a lancet on him. He had his way,
but for over n week he held that re-
volver tightly clenched in his hand,
fearing that the surgeons would yet
play trick on him. At night he made
/ his servant stand on guard armed
with a rifle. He recovered after few
weeks illness, and the only perma-
nent ill effect was a slight limp. Need
less to say he afterward regarded the
army surgeon as one of the soldiers
worst foes.-Philadelphi Ledger.

Within recent years farmers have
been keeping larger deposits on ac-
count with their local banks, thereby
improving their status as borrowers
Many Of the main risks OF farming
have been reduced adding another
source Of reduction to the cost Of cap
ital. But nothing has done more to
improve the position Of farmers as
borrowers than CD the diyersifying
OF their crops, wherever single crop.
ping tended to undermine farm values
by impairing productivity; and CD the
turning from merely vegetable prodpc-
ton to the breeding and preparation
Of animals for market. Some western
bankers are even now giving prefer
ence to farmers in their loans who
have livestock as feature Of their
farm economy
One thing which will add still more
to the reduction Of borrowing costs is
the employment Of farm capital in all
yearsround enterprises such as dairy
ing, cattle feeding and other forms Of
productivity This would tend to keep
local banks from being put to the ne
eessity of sending to large centers

Of the problem is highly important as

INTEREST RATES ON LOANS.

At last we have something definite
as basis for discussion Of the rates
OF interest paid by farmers on loans
of funds needed for their work. The
federal department OF agriculture
through a circular mailed to 5000 coun-
try banks arrives at the conclusion
that in 1913 the average rate Of in
terest was 7.75 per cent compared
with 77g per cent in 1912.
It has usually been assumed that
the average rate paid by farmers is
approximately s per cent. The de.
partment's average, representing 30
per cent of the banks addressed is.
therefore, net wide Of the mark Of
the general financial estimate. 1t like
wise affords a Fairly definite basis
from which to discuss the question Of
Farm loans and their bearing upon the
mNge of farm improvements.
ii IS doubtful whether any other inn

The cotton farmer borrows from the

until the cotton begins to market in

Chiekasha is exceedingly fortunate
in having a mayor like J. B. Burton
who deyotes his entire time to looking
after and overseeing the city's busi-
ness. For two years he has been do

paid 10 any one OF the three or four
men In commissioned governed cities

the job all the time and deyefng his
personal attention to the details Of
city administration, he has given us
constant supervision of municipal af-
fairs for far less money than other
cities pay for the same service.
In the nature Of things city ad-
mlnistration can never be perfect. All
