Financing Farmers in Ireland.
(Wall Street Journal }


From land tenantry to ownership
in farming, Ireland has passed rap
idly since the rural credit. systGr"
went into effect. What Is known as
the estates commissioners comprises
a board through which this work of
aiding farmers to finance purchases
Of freeholders is accomplished with
the result Of inaugurating a new era
in Ireland's economic history. And
al this has been done with an expen-
diture OF little more than 100000.
Less than half was advanced in FREQ
grants and somewhat more was eX-
pended in advances repayable with
annuity. Much of this went for
drainage, fencing, seed and imple-
ment purchases. Fidelity and
punctuality in repayments have, been
evidence of sound credit conditions.
On the other hand, long-term land
mortgages have increased more
rapidly than is regarded as safe. The
new land-holders have to be guarded
against undue mortgaging and
against too large a liability extended
by cooperative banks.

sfs BURIED TREASURE. !.
+ (By George Fitch.) !
J. !. !. "' IL j. !. !. !. !. .Ss ]. !. !.

Buried treasure is one of the most
interesting topics Of speculation for
men and dogs.
All dogs are interested in buried
treasure. which Is natural, because
they bury it themselves. The dog is
an abstracted and absent-minded
creature because he is always trying
to figure out the locations of the last
eleven bones which he has buried.
Many men are also interested in
inferred wealth. But they are not
the men who buried it, as a rule.
Men do not bury much treasure
nowadays. Wall street. society and
the automobile made It possible for
man to dispose u any amount of
money without borrowing a spade
and a lantern. Then who are inter-
ested nowadays are the ones who
are trying to discover where some
other men planted his fortune, and
the men who planted said fortunes
were mostly pirates who fourished
| before the seas were as well policed
as they are now.
Burying treasure was the one
great amusement of the pirate. Af-
ter he had accumulated a chest full
of doubloons or pieces of weight he
was not happy until he had lugged
the chest ashore and had buried it
on some deserted island, nine PAGES
east and four south of the point
where the line between three tall
palms and the volcano peak crosses
! the shadow Of the sun at noon on
! Candlemas day. After he had
| planted a few chests he usually got
himself hanged, thus removing the
money effectually from circulation
and encouraging future generations
to mess up vast numbers Of desert
! Islands in vain attempts to find it.
The pirates fought very hard for
their money and were very foolish
to stick it away in the sand at a
time when the world was very un-
healthy for them anyway, and even
without prompt action they could
hardly expect to get all of it spent
before they died of acute throat
trouble. But they were not half as
foolish as the man who accumulates
about $40 worth of treasure a week
and trades it for one good-sized jag
on Saturday night. If he were to
bury his $40 each week as the dog
buries his bone and forget all about
the location, he would be better off
! in the long run.

eIAGS ABOARD OUR WARSHIPS.
zach Of Uncle Sans Sea Fighters
Has 500 "Old GIOries."
(Kansas City Starr

In the last naval appropriation bill
passed by Congress was an item Of
10000 for the manufacture of
ia gs. That sum, it was estimated,
would keen Uncle Sans many naval
vessels properly equipped for a
wear. In addition most every other
department OF the government ap-
p opriated val ious sums for flags for
b,ildings and ships under their con-
trol. In all, 1T is safe to say, the
t'nited States spends S125,000 a
year for flags.
The largest factory belongs to the
navy. In a large room, called the
dag loft" at Brooklyn navy yard,
half hundred skilled needlewomen
and quite a few men are kept con-
stantly at work. Officially it is the
naval flag-making establishment.
Thousands Of flags are required to
supply the hundreds Of vessels, from
battleships to launches. On entering
he flag loft the visitors first i'm
preston is blaze of color. Rolls of
bright bunting are heaped every
where. Long lines of electrically
driven sewing machines, with wo-
men operators, are reeling off and
putting the finishing touches to
American and foreign eneigns of
nany different hues and sizes. In
addition to our own flag, the navy
mas to keep a supply of every other
nation in the world which has a
coast line.
Each battleship, cruiser, gunboat
or scout in the navy requires about
500 flags to outfit it's flag locker pro-
perly. Heaped up they make a pile
shoulder high and 20 or % feet long.
The foreign flags, encased in canvas
Dags, bear the name Of the country
@)cnciled on the end. The remand
OF, including flags for ordinary use,
signaling, etc, are wrapped without
bags and numbered at the end. Each
lag has It's separate place in the flag
locker. A quartermaster would be
rcOuked severely if one became mis-
placed. Each ship follows the same
order in this, so that any one famil-
lar with the flag locker on one ship
knows the location Of every flag on
any ship.
Uncle Sam pays about $500 to
outfit each ship in the service. This
multiplied by the number of ships
will show that flags are not an in
consequential item OF naval eX-
pense. The foreign ensigns are all
made 25 feet long and 13 feet wide.
They are used whenever an Ameri-
can warship enters a port Of another
nation. The flag Of the visited ma
tion Is hoisted at the top Of the fore
mast while the American ship sa-
lutes. 1t is also hoisted when re-
turning salutes OF foreign vessels in
American ports.
The most snowy and expensive
flags in the lot are those Of foreign
nations, although the United States
has two flags that are close rivals,
the flags Of the President and Vice
President. They require the longest
time to make OF any flags. 1t takes
one woman q month to finish each
one. The Presidents flag Is a blue

The word echoed from thousand hills,
And shop and mill, and factory, and forge,
Where throve the awful industries of death,

passer read, peace bids her children starve."
But foolish women clasped their little
And wept for joy, not reasoning like men.
Again the Voice commanded: Nov go forth
And build world for Progress and for Peace
This work has waited since the earth was shaped;
But men were fghting and they could not toll.
The needs of life outnumber reeds of death.
Leave death with God. Go forth, say, and build.'
And then a sudden, comprehensive joy
Shone in the eyes of men; and who thought
Only of conQuests and Of victories

United States in the center. The
life-sized eagle with outstretched
wings and other emblems are all
Observation-Disclosures in silk. The silk
used costs 50 a pound. The Vice
Presidents flag is the coat Of arms
on field Of white. Both flags are
made in two sizes, 10 by IA feet and
3 by 5 feet. The larger is used on
ships and the smaller on launches
and similar craft.
Costa Rica and Salvador have the
honor OF using the costliest flags, and
also the most tedious to make of all
national ensigns. Germany and
Russia follow close behind. The old
dragon flag Of the Chinese Empire
was another difficult one. The Sal
vador flag has for centerpiece a
regular landscape consisting Of
belching volcano and rising sunset
in varied design Of draped bannere,
cactus branches, cornucopias and a
swastika or symbolical design in the
ground Of rayed diamond with the
date Of the independence Of the ma
ton described at the top.
Costa Rica's centerpiece has two
ships in full sail on each side of a
dividing chain of mountains rising
from the sea, with the morning sun
just appearing in the background.
The whole is surmounted with
spears, battleaXes, swords. trum-
pets, etc. Nearly 200 pieces are
used in each Of those flags, all of
which must be sewed on by hand. 1t
requires one womans time fc six
teen days to make the Salvador CEN
terpiece at a cost of $3.50 to Uncle
Sam.
The white elephant flag Of Siam
costs $38, that Of Costa Rica $50.
The white and black banner Of Ger
many, with the double-headed eagle
centerpicce, Is also a painstaking
piece of work and costs about $45.
The easiest and cheapest flag of all
foreign nations is that Of Morocco,
which is merely field Of red, cost
ing $21. The largest flag made Is
the United States ensign No. 1,
which is Sc feet by 10 feet. 1t costs
$40.

makers use it. One day simple

MORE FAIRS WILL
Be HELD IN 1874
Deputy Martin Says That the At
tendance and Premiums Are
on the Increase

Announcement that seventy one
county fairs. horse and cattle shows
or agricultural and horticultural eXhi-
bitions will be held in fifty counties of
the state was made to-day by the
Pennsylvania State Department of
Agriculture. This is one of the largest
lists ever announced and the dates
run from the Hogestown Horse and
Cattle Show in Cumberland county,
June 1918, to the exhibition in Horti-
cultural Hall, Philadelphia, November
3-6.
In transmitting the list of fairs to
Secretary of Agriculture n. B. Critch-
field, A. L. Martin, deputy secretary,
in charge of farmers educational work
and exhibitions. says that gambling
and games of chance have been elimi-
mated from the fairs and that "the
midway exhibition, where shows of
doubtful propriety have been in evil
dence, are rapidly disappearing and in
their stead we find high-class art ex-
hibits, models of improved machinery,
household utensils and agricultural
demonstrations"
Mr.. Martin notes that practically all
fairs have expert judges only and says
mot only are the larger fairs demon
strating the best agricultural methods
and practices, but there have been or
ganized within the last few years a
number of societies that, in q local
way, are accomplishing much for their
communities in the branch of animal
industry; that is, breeding of better
horses, sheep and swine. Among such
societies could be named. without re-
flecting upon the good accomplished
by others. the Pen-Mar County Agri-
cultural Association. Warren County
Farmers and Breeders Association
and Hogestown Horse and Cattle
Show.
The report shows that the attend
ance at the fairs last year was
1.776.600, against 1868, 500 in the year
before, gain of over 2O0,O 900. The
membership jumped 724, going to
16,069. The amount paid by the State
to encourage fairs last year was
$45,S33.62. against $33,56322 in 1912.
Premiums paid last year aggregated
$157 .961.71. as compared with $1S4,-
371.74. an increase of s23.5S4.O3. The
offerings IN premiums for this year
are $192.099. an increase over the
offerings of last year of $36,S49.
