 been properly filled by a dentist The
 cavity has been covered. if the work has not been properly done, the tree has no way of making it's trouble known except by further decay. \ Within the last decade there has been a great increase in demand for
 surgeons to repair decay1ng shade trees, but the possibilities of prac- ticing fraud in this profession like the instance just cited have tempted so

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
-~~-~->~--<7 ---~>>--s-'- e. T1a 11enfl eT-.l

eBy e. H Tavenner9
 Washington Aug IA partnershlps of the people with themselves is pro-s posed h the rural credit bill introru- ced by Representative Edward Keat- Ing, of Colorado, one of the strongest progressive Democrats in Congress l Tn other words instead of having a ru-s ral credit bank to lend money to farm CTS, the Keating bill proposes thatsth postal savings funds be- loaned to. farmers at low rates of interest
 His plan is a popular cooperation on Ethe broadest scale possible. City work CTS join hands with countrymen to develop agriculture and eheapen the cost of living. Both sections would prosper By the arfang gement--t ur- ban savers through interest on their savings and in cheaper necessaries of Ilife the rural borrowers by shaking off the usurer and obtaining cheap cap I Eita1 for developing their farms
 It is believed by Keating that the organiz ization of this system could be laccofnpIished without any great ex- pense either initial or permanent Ths reason is that the bill proposes to bring into the loan system many agencies of the government F9stmasterss for instance, are to appraise farm prop critics and collect payments sor mort gages District attorneys would fore close onrtIe mortgages of delinque ents- 1 General officers of the governrn e1f would act as directors of the system I There would be no great additional lsalary roll
 The bill proposes to organize within l the Treasury Depar tn1ents a farm loan bureau in charge of comm issioners 1 He would act with the Secretaries of 1 the Treasury and A Agricultune as the | loan board. All postal savings would be covered directly into the Treasurs Instead of being loaned to banks as ar present. And from this fund the farm fIoans would be made
 The postal savings fund at present I would be entirely Inadequate to pro- vide the money needed for agriculture. l Mir. xKeatingss bi1l removes the iinita- ltion on postal savings deposits. With
 the reTnov aIs of the limitation on de- posits the postal savings funds would I mount enornnollsIy, providing an inn- tIhense sum for use in farm loans.

shakespearean Scholar.

shakespearean scholar, was born 100
years ago In Cornwall, Vt. He was a
baker and subsequently a wheelwright,
and was graduated from Mlddlebury
college In 1870. During the next few
years he taught school in Kentucky
and Alabama. He then returned to
New England to study theology, He
was ordained a priest Of the Protestant
Episcopal church In 1850. The re-
mainder OF his life was spent in
preaching, lecturing and literary work
IN Boston and vicinity. He was recog-
mixed az the foremost American an-
thority IN Shakespeare and his works.

Of, because at that time he hadn't

ton as assistant purser on n of the
boats that ran then between Boston
and New York. They had been en-
gagged a year OF more, and Roach had
no intention Of marrying Miss Pru
6ence. Whatever his intentions may
have been in the beginning, Miss Pru-
dence was the dominant partner. Her
sweetness, her confidence, so far from
rendering her a victim to him, com
pletely disarmed him.

And Roach was not altogether bad.
He was looking for hts chance, and
It came. The Sea Eagle was wrecked
on the Cape, About three-fourths Of
her passengers were saved, among
them Roach, who, as a matter Of fact,
had jumped into a boat full Of passen-
gers. There was a good deal of con.
fusion attending the getting away,
and none OF the people in Roach's boat
knew who he was. He was posted as
missing; he was supposed TO have
gone down with the ship.
Miss Prudence shut herself up In
her room when she received the news,
and for two days saw nobody. When
she reappeared she vas quite com
posed. She put on black for the fell
low, and her intimate friends knew
how the blow had almost unhinged
her reason, but she never displayed
her grief in public.
There was q young man named
Horton who had been Miss Prudence'a
