LONG TIME CREDIT

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
| Any credit system that will be of
advantage to the agricultural inter
ests must provide for a long time
credit. A nine months credit will en-
able man to raise a crop OF grain
and sell it. Other farm operations
require from one to six or seven
years to make a turn. Raising hogs,
cattle, horses, or getting an orange
grove or orchard takes time. The
! calf must be three years old before
it is sold for beef or turns into
milch COW, and colt has little value
until it is four years old. The capi-
tai must be invested from the begin
ming, and if the interest is compound
ed every sixty or ninety days, as
when notes are renewed, that kind of
credit means bankruptcy.
In commercial affairs turnover
can be made in sixty or ninety days,
and at longest in nine months. One
reason for so much grain farming in
the west has been that it can be car
ried on with short credits. A man
can go onto place and make turn
over in nine months or a year.
There are billions of longtime cred
its. 1t is obtained by state, county,
municipal and industrial bonds They
usually run from ten to twenty years.
That is the kind of credit that will
be Of use in developing agriculture.
1t is obtained for from to 6 per
cent, and has no better security than
farm credits. The farmers output is
always saleable. 1t is not like mer-
chandise that goes out of fashion,
and others when there is no demand.
It is always in demand, and for the
most part practically non-perishable.
Agriculture is the chief source of
wealth. Why should there be mil
lions for all sorts of enterprises re-
quaring long years to develop, and so
little for producing the food and 9TH
er necessaries of life?
Prof. G. n. Lauman of the depart
ment of rural economics of Cornell
University of New York, recently
made an address in Omaha. Neb., at
a meeting Of two or three hundred
farmers, so I am advised by my
nephew now visiting me, on Rural
Credit Systems. It was scholarly,
but intensely interesting to every
farmer, whether he had had a high
er education or not Some things that
he referred to impressed most pro-
found1y everyone who heard him, and
among them was the statement that
this country had reached the renting
stage, and the renters in many large
sections were deteriorating morally,
economically and mentally If the
thing went on, he said, we should
soon have the same condition here
that formerly existed among the
peasants of Europe. Under the pres
ent credit systems there was little
chance for the renter to become a
land holder, and when a large part
of the population lost hope of adj
vancement, it was inevitable that 1t
would become degenerate. The only

AND SERBS
FIGHT BATTLE IN JOLIET

Joliet, Ill, July 30.-Austrian and
Servian residents of Joliet's large for
eign settlement of steel and wire mill
employees clashed last night Two
hundred Slavs. the majority OF them
Servians. were holding a meeting. Mihal
Radakovitch was reciting the oppres-
sions that Austria had practiced upon
the Slays in Austria-Hungary
Cheers greeted him. The applause
was interrupted suddenly by the jeers
OF a crowd of excited Austrians led by
Jacob Likar.
The Servians, aroused to frenzy,
hurled themselves upon Likar. The
mob fought its way into the street
Lithuanians and Croatians rushed
TO Join the Servian faction, as more
than a hundred Austrians gathered be-
hind Likar Bricks and stones were
hurled. Revolvers were drawn and
shots fired.
Likar was rushed from the scene by
his friends and the Slavs began tri-
umphant march back to the hall.
Radakovitch telegraphed John Pal

WARBURC WILL
co FOR INQUIRY
New York Banker Said to Have
Agreed to Answer Com
mittee's Questions.

Washington, July 30.-Paul NJ War
burg of New York, a member of the
banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., will
appear before the senate committee
on banking and currency, according to
information available at the White
House yesterday.
Mr.. Warburg mas been noncommit-
tai regarding his intention to appear
before the committee and his decision
ence with Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, a member of the committee, in
New York Tuesday. At that confer
ence Warburg was assured that the
committee did not discriminate against
him in requesting him to appear be-
fore the committee, but Senator Hitch
cock gave him no assurance that he
would not be piled with questions re-
lating to his business connections.
Mr. Warburg said he did not feel at
liberty to discuss the affairs of the
banking firm in order to obtain pub
lie position for himself. He was told
that the committee wished to know
about his connection with the Chicago
and Alton case, the finances of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton and
the history of the Pittsburgh Termi-
nal. With all these Mr.. Warburg de-
MED direct connection.
1t appeared during the New York
that Mr.. Warburg believes
the pending currency act has many
serious defects and that there may be
some difficulty in getting the system
into operation.
This attitude may cause some en-
when the subject of his
comes before the senate,
as it is believed that his personal estl-
mate of the defects of the system is
influenced by his abiding belief in the
wisdom of a central bank as against
the regional system which is pro-
vided for in the new currency act
The date of Mr.. Warburgs appear
ance before the committee has not
been determined, Chairman Owen
having received no word indicating |
when the New York banker wishes to |
come to Washington.

WILSON PICKS GARRISON
TO SUCCEED M'REYNOLDS

Washington, July 30.-President
Wilson has determined to appoint At
torney General James c. McReynolds
as associate justice of the supreme
court, to succeed the late Justice Lur-,
ton of Kentucky, and the appointments
will be announced before the begin-
ming of the October term OF court.
This information, confirming current
reports, was obtained from sources
close to the White house. From the
same sources came the report that
Lindley NJ. Garrison, secretary of war;
would be appointed attorney generaI
to succeed Mr.. McReynolds.
Franklin X. Lane. secretary of thaI
interior, appears to have presented the,
strongest rivalry for appointment for,
attorney general, but It is believed
that Joseph p. Tumulty. secretary tor
the president, who long has been ass
sociated with Secretary Garrison. has
succeeded in turning the scale for his
friend
The attorney generalship is regarded
generally as a stepping stone to tho
supreme court. President Wilson has
been quoted as having stated that he
would like to appoint Secretary Lane
to the supreme court. Apparently tha
expected appointment of Secretary
Garrison to the attorney generalship
may operate as an obstacle to such am

BLAST RAZES HUGE MILL

Dittengen, Canton OF Bern, Switzer-
land, July 30.-The cement factory
which used to be the pride of this
town because it represented the prin-
cipal industry of the place was blown
to pieces by its owners June 81. under
the supervision of the local police.
The great mill had been bought by
syndicate and closed as unnecessary
to the system. The syndicate had
to continue to pay the taxes as heavy
as though the works were in opera
ton. and it was decided, therefore, to
destroy them. Charges of dynamite
were placed under the tall chimneys
and at various places in the walls
throughout the mandatory. The
cartridges were exploded simulta-
neously by electric connections, and
the whole place became a mass of
broken walls and piles of brick. Some
of the townspeople cried as they saw
the place tumble into ruins.

SITUATION CRAVE
Statesmen Agree to Postpone
Irish Question Because of
War in Europe.

| London, July 3O.-While Austrians
and Servians are fighting in the open
ing stages of their war on Servian ter
ritory today. European statesmen and
rulers were engaged in what they re-
garded the almost hopeless task of try
ing to avert a general clash of the
millions composing the armies of the
great European powers.
In the house of commons, Secretary
Grey said, 81 regret 1 cannot say the
situation is less grave than yester-
day" Premier Asquith also spoke of
the gravity of the situation when he
was announcing in commons the post
ponement of the second reading Of the
bill to amend the Irish home rule bill.
He said, I'VE meet today under condi-
tions of gravity almost unparalleled in
the experience of any one of us. The
issues of peace and war are hanging
in the balance and with us is the risk
o ia catastrophy, the seriousness of
which it is impossible to measure. Mr..
Bonar Law, leader of the opposition,
shares with me fully the views l have
postpone the second reading amending
of the Irish bill without prejudice to its
future, in the hope that by postpone
ment of this discussion the patriotism
of all parties will contribute to what
lies in our power, if not to avert, to at
least circumscribe the calamity which
threatens the whole world
All foreign peoples in the big Ger
man schools were informed yesterday
they must leave Germany Immediately.
A number of English students left last
night and arrived here today. One
said that between Bonn and Cologne
his train had passed eight trains loaded
with German soldiers going toward
the French frontier.
London, July 3O.-Several sections
of the British special defense force
were today ordered to the east and
south coasts to relieve the regulars in

ings and manning coast defenses. Spe-
ical army reservists were called to

DENEEN IS BACK
OF VIM. {. MASON
Candidate Says Former Gov
ernor VIII Fight Reelection
of Senator Sherman.

Chicago. Ill, July 5o.-The mystery
surrounding the candidacy of former
Senator William E. Mason for the re-
publican nomination for the United
States senate was solved yesterday by
Mr.. Mason's own statement that he
has been promised the support OF for
mer Governor Deneen and the republi-
can organization in his fight against
the reelection of Senator l. Y Sher-
man.
This statement, translated. means
that Mr.. Deneen and his ieutenants
are out to defeat Sherman by any and
every means in their power and that
the battle will be terrific from end to
end of the state.
Mr. Deneen served notice on Sena-
tor Sherman some time ago that
unless he could control the insur-
gents who were going about in Sher-
mans name and keep them from
fighting the republican machine he
would withdraw his promised sup
port. Senator Sherman held confer
ences with the Brundage-Snow con-
tingent and replied to Deneen that he
could not control their actions in
the local situation. The Deneen re
ply was the petition of William E
Mason, which he sent down to
Springfield with his own men, Emil
Wentslaff, who is in charge of the
headquarters.
