Farmers, Credit Bill.

The farmers credit bill. designed to
make easier the borrowing capacity of
agriculturists on producing land and to
encourage handwriting over tenancy has
been presented to the House.
This legislation is being urged by Presi-
dent Wilson.
Under the provisions of the. tentative
bill the government is authorized to issue
special farm loan bonds bearing s per
cent interest to the extent of $5o, ooo, 900
yer, the issue to be controlled by the
Federal Reserve Board.
In the elaborate scheme for the admin.
istratioE of this new financial system for
the country 1t is provided that national
farm loan associations are to be organ
lied, each to have not less than $4,000
In capital stock in shares of not less than
$25.
These associations are authorized to
make loans of current funds secured by
FIRST mortgages on farm lands within the
farm loan district to be supplied by the
association. To buy and sell from other
farm loan associations indorsed first mort,
cages; to buy and sell farm 10 n bonds
and United States bonds; to buy and sell
lands acquired in satisfaction of debts OF
purchased at sales'under judgments, de.
crees or mortgages held by them.
No loans are to be made except on FIRST
mortgages each of which must contain
an agreement for the reduction of the
face of the loan through annual or semi.
annual payments.
Mortgages shall run for at least Eve
years and not more than 80 years, and
the loan may be paid at any interest pay,
ment date after the five-year period
either in cash or farm loan bonds.
Loans are to be made only to liouidate
Indebtedness of the owner of the land
mortgaged for improvement offarm lands
purchases of equipment or stock or pur-
chase of farm home.
No loan is to exceed so per cent. of the
value of the buildings, nor to an amount
to excess of $1,000 to any one borrower.

A. Campaign Is Approaching.

No one who follows the proceedings in
Congress can fail to notice evidence Of
the fact that campaign is approaching.
The regular republicans and the progress.
sive republicans are sparr.ng for advan.
tage. Instead of considering the merits
Of the issues presented. there is very
evident tendency to seize upon anything
that promises to give them party
advantage.
This is quite natural, bnt it is also more
or less dangerous. The administration is
dealing with questions of grave impor.
lance and the average citizen is much
more interested in securing needed legis.
lation than he is in which party gets
credit for it. The president, accepting
the responsibilities which tall upon those
in power, is moving straight forward
with the reforms to which be is commit.
ted. turning aside only where new exig-
encies require attention.
The effort which has been made to in
terfere with the plans which he has form
ed for dealing with questions affecting
other nations is not likely to win public
support, for the chief executive is the one
entrusted by the constitution with the
conduct of diplomatic negotiations. The
attempt to put small special interest
against the larger considerations with
which the president is dealing in the
tolls question, finds no considerable SYM
pathy among the voters, and the partisan
speeches made by republicans against the
presidents Mexican policy are awaken.
ing widespread criticism.
When thirteen votes were recorded
against the vote of confidence passed by
the senate, one of the republicans re
marked that he hoped it would not prove
an unlucky number. In the meantime
the president is gladdened by growing
confidence in his methods as we'll as il
his purpose.
The remarkable nnanimity of publ,
sentiment behind President Wilson il
every movement made in handling til,
Mexican situation is another proof of tn,
fact that the politicians and the sensa
tional newspaper editors have lost thei
bold on the people.-The Commoner.

FORCE OF VIBRATION.
"A Musical Chord That Shattered
Huge Glass Bowl.

A Musical Chord That Shattered q
Huge Glass Bowl.
Discussing the proposition that q
wineglass can be broken or shattered
to pieces by a musical chord, Edgar
Lucien Larkin in the New York Amer
lean says:
II had a huge glass bowl one foot in
diameter resting on its glass stand.
The flint glass was from one-quarter to
three-quarters Of an inch thick. I ros-
ined violin bow, drew it across the
edge, and the entire hemisphere OF
solid glass disintegrated into hundreds
OF small pieces. The sound Of break
ing into fragments was entirely un-
known to me, cracking or grinding,
and the bits of glass few far apart.
Il had used this same bowl before
classes for several years with violin
bows. But on this particular day the
students as well as were surprised at
the breaking and unearthly noise.
1.-THE fact is happened to vibrate
the bowl with its key note--that is, set
harmonic rate, which means the pre-
else rate with which it was able to vi
brate to send forth that note, for notes
are rates Of vibration, and they all
obey rigid and beautiful harmonic
mathematical laws. and these agree
with other set and fixed laws"

Eurone In Africa,

The Africa Of today is partitioned ofl
among the following nations: Great
Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Por
tugal, Belgium and Spain. Great Brit
ain has the fairer portions, her South
African possessions having fine eli
mate and being in every way perfectly
adapted to the white race. The French
and italian possessions along the Medi
terranean are also well enough as re

number OF ships in service was nearly
doubled. The golfers and supply sbips
were loaded and sent away. Some are
already returning for their second car
goes. The marines were gathered from
widely scattered points. collected at the
navy yards from which the ships were
starting. and marched on board.
TO tho casual observer the navy wards
appeared as scenes of greatest activity.
but Il was action without confusion. One
event followed another with great rapid
ity. but with orderly sequence.
Tho newest Dreadnought tho New

which could not be overcome by tho
