TWO BABES IN SIX WEEKS;
SURE ROUGH ON FATHER.

London, April 11.-All known
birth records have been beaten by
the wife OF a workman at Barrow
Lancashire, who six weeks ago
gave birth to a son. Both the
mother and child did we'll. To-day
came an interesting development.
Another child-a girl-was born.
The existence of the boy. who is
only six weeks older than his baby
sister. threatens to raise problems
which will make the Barrow babies
famous. From a medical point of
view they are twins, but regarded
from the cold standpoint of Green
wich time, they missed twinship by
six full weeks.
The case gives insurance COM
missioners a problem to solve. The
father. under the insurance act, is
to the maternity benefit of
$3.50. IL the children are not ad-
judged to be twins, he will be enti-
tied to receive another $3.50, but
If they are twins. the act counts
them as one.

The need OF cooperation in Sc

in the Southwest is as great as the
need Of obtaining larger returns for

Texas and Oklahoma the farmer is
yet obliged to pay interest Of from
10 TO p per cent. and even these
rates are better than buying on
time from the country merchant.
In some sections. without banking
facilities. credit from the country
merchant Is the only resource. Side
by side with the farmer is the cat

rates of to per cent. and the
railroads. who have little trouble in
finding capital at even lower rates.
The cattlemen and the railroad men
