Who Is
w. F. Stevenson

Mr.. w. F. Stevenson, candidate for
congress, was the person to have
credit for the completion of our State
House. The advocates of the bill
providing for that were beaton by
the economists in the house because
it would increase taxes. He came
forwardwith the proposition and let
the State borrow money from the
Sinking Fund Commission and repay
it at $4,000 a year. Build it and
pay for it on the installment plan.
The News & Courier says, referring
to the apparent defeat Of the measure,
"But MIR. Stevenson came to the
rescue. He showed that the Sinking
Fund Commission had nearly 100000
in bank drawing four er cent. interest.
Why not lend this amount to the State
at the same rate and let the State
treasury refund it at the rate of
$4,000 a year. This would not in
crease the levy of the State and would
not hurt the appropriations to the
other causes. The suggestion was
adopted by both houses" and the act
passed in that form and we got our
State House completed, which had
been standing half finished, unsightly
to 1899.
So one seemed to think of the fact
that this could be done. Originality!
initiative! is the thing of first impor-
and almosy uninhabitable from 1864
tance in legislation. He seems to
have it, hence his name is linked with
the history of the State for IS years.
Don't we need the same ability and
power in the highest degree in Wash
ington? Give it trial. In the lang
uage of the medical world, take a
trial dose" If it is not satisfactory
it will last only two years.

Biqqest Rubber Tree of All.

What is believed to be the largest
rubber tree in the world stands in the
Brazilian territory of Acre, on the
frontier of BOLIVIA. Its stem is 81 feet
2 7-10 inches in circumference at the
base. For 120 days every year this
colossus gives % pounds of rubber a
day. At present prices this brings in
$3.50 a year, or a fair interest on
about $4,000. to its owners, g family

CHEAP Floor Stain.

A very inexpensive stain can be
made from burnt umber and hot wa
ter. Five cents worth of the burnt
umber will stain several floors; that is,
where a rug Is used for the center.
Pour the hot water over the burnt
umber, little at time, till it is thor.
oughly dissolved. Use quart of hot
water to five cents worth Of umber;
that makes a pretty dark brown stain.
Let it dry, then rub on any good floor
wax and polish.

COOPERATIVE FARM FINANCE.

Cooperative buying and selling, plant
ing and harvesting are more or less
familiar to the American farmer, but
of far more general importance and
of more general affects to both pro-
ducer and consumer is the newest Of
these agricultural movements-cooper-
ateive farm borrowing.
While Uncle Sam has been making
a study of farm loans with the inten-
ton of passing laws to aid farmers in
financing their business some day, and
while few states. some bankers and
several loan associations have adopted
some preliminary aid of the sort, the
farmers themselves have been making
their own investigation and at least
some of them have reached the point
of action. This was brought out
effectively the other day when new
York bankers were asked by Kansas
bank whether they could place note
for $4,000 to run four months and
signed by a dozen prosperous kansan
farmers.
OF course, the Kansas men wanted
the money to finanance their abund-
ant harvest during the next few
months. All over the country, some
system of availeble money for this
period would result in less waste,
more profit and better service to the
consumers. Primarily, the point
raised by the Kansas farmers was the
urgent need for some sort of remedial
agricultural loans for both the
planting of crops and the harvesting.
1t shows why congress should not de-
lay action on rural credits. But the
propersition displays other more i'm
portant facts commanding attention.
While there was plenty of money
seeking investment in New York, it is
unavailable under the old banking
system for use of Kansas or other
farmers in time of commercial and
economic need. The new currency
system will give the Kansas bank the
right to discount the not when pre-
sented by the farmers without costly
delay. sending it later to the reserve
bank for rediscOunt.
OF even more Importance is the fact
that the Kansas farmers note presents
a plain, workable example of coopera-
tive borrowing. A dozen farmers
signed the note for $4,000. This was
far better than Il dozen individual
notes for $1,000 or less signed by each,
and being better security, it deserved
q lower rate of interest than the
smaller notes could possibly have
commanded. Farm loans naturally
are for short periods and are small,
facts making necessary high interest
and other economic incOveniences. The
Kansas farmers, by their cooperative
movement. solved the problem for
themselves.

greatly enlarged, and a number of new
class have been added. In this eonnec-
tion il may be said that the manage
ment contemplate issuing a catalogue of
horses and cattle, in order that breeders
and patrons may be able to tell the
winners in the various horse and cattle
classes by reference TO this book. This
is along the lines followed by other up
to- date exhibitions in this country, and
should prove TO be a benefit and con
venience to breeders. farmers and the
general public.
The midway will be the largest ever
seen in Sherbrooke. and will contain the
very latest up-to-date shows. A carni-
val company has been secured at great
to furnish amusement and pleas
ire, and young and old are promised
, fun share of enjoyment on this sec
ion of the grounds.

HAMLIN TO HEAD
RESERVE BOARD
Will Be Named as Governor by Presi-

Tomorrow

Washington, Aug. l0.-The federal re-
serve board, the supreme agency in the
new currency system, will take office to-
day, more than seven months after
President Wilson signed the currency
act, and probably will get down to bust
ness at once. All members of the board
are now in Washington.
1t became known Saturday that Presi
dent Wilson will name Charles S. Ham
lin as governor of the board and Mr.
Delano as vice governor With the swear
ing-in OF the members, only one more
step must be taken before the board
takes up its duty. Under the law, the
organization committee, composed of the
secretary of the treasury. the secretary
of agriculture and the comptroller of the
currency must call the first formal meet
ing of the board. A majority of the or
ganizstion committee is now in Wash
ington. and this meeting will be called
after the board is sworn in
Once in Office the board will make the
moves necessary to open the IL reserve
banks provided by law. Although there
ARE several details to be worked out the
matters that must precede
opening of the banks probably will not
take much time. The system may be in
operation in several cities before the end
