ties, easily convertible into cash. For
this reason the bankers have not
been able, consistent with such
policy. to extend sufficiently or at low
enough interest rates the class of
accommodations to farmers which
the farmers chiefly need-such as
loans for fertilizers which would be
used in the spring and could not be
paid for until the crop was gathered
in the fall; such as for farm ma
chinery, and such as for the build
ing of silos, or for improvements on
the farm which would increase it's
productive power, although such
loans could be wisely made, and
would be safe as far as security of
payment is concerned.
But under the new banking and
currency system, which will provide
an open large discount market for
commercial bills, which the banks
have not heretofore enjoyed except
in a hazardous, uncertain fashion,
there will be open also for the banks
much larger percentage of invest
ment loans of the character above
described.
The farm mortgage provision in
the currency bill, allowing mortgages
to be made on five-year terms, ought

siderable amount of money for per.
manent farm improveme as wei
as the investment in silos. farm ma.

Colonel cIark's Generosity

The generosity of Colonel H. o.
Clark, of East Orange, in giving his
automobile for the use Of his COM
rades in today's parade reminds a
reader of The Star of an incident at
the Gettysburg reunion year ago,
in which Colonel Clark figured.
Colonel Clark was the host at No.
tent, headquarters Thirteenth YER
mont Regiment Association the
writer says. THE tent was pitched
on an cminence overlooking the Con-
federate camp in the distance and
the roadway between was lined with
cannon-the cannon that belched
forth death-dealing missiles fifty
years before.
Toward evening on the anniver-
sary of the second days battle an
old Virginian, a survivor of Pickett's
famous charge, strolled into tent four
and, after telling some of his war his
tory, his great delight to be present
at the reunion and so on, it came out,
in a casual way, that he had been re-

Postmaster General Burleson, in his
annual report, makes a strong argu-
ment in favor of government owner
ship of both the telegraph and tele-
phone lines, and urges that the post
office department should have control
over all means of the communication
of intelligence.
The argument in favor of govern
ment ownership of the telephone and
telegraph is, in many respects, very
strong. 1t is true that the United
States is the only great nation Of the
world which still leaves these great
natural monopolies to be carried on
by private enterprise. But when one
turns to the telephone business and
compares the service furnished in
American cities with the service fur
nished under government administra-
tion in foreign countries, 1t would re-
quire very strong arguments to con-
vince one that a change from the
American system for the sake of imi-
tating foreign countries would be adj
visable, is the opinion of the editor of
Engineering News.
If there were any likelihood that
when the United States government
undertook the operation of the tele-
graph and telephone it would conduct
the business as efficiently and eco
nomically as it is conducted in Eng
land or in Germany, or in Norway,
business men and the public gener-
ally might very likely conclude that
while the change was to be depre-
Gated, it was not worth expending
much energy to oppose But it is
probable that any such efficiency and
economy would be obtained by oui
| government as it is at present con-
| stituted.

AN EQUITABLE CANAL PROPOSITION.

Senator Lane, of Oregon submits Panama Canal
tolls plan as alternative for surrender right or

all maritime nations by which each, including the
United States should pay for the of the canal in
exact proportion to the of it. There should also
be an International agreement to guarantee the
canals neutrality and safety. This would put it up
to Great Britain to pay equally with the United
States for the use of the canal, and in equity how
could Great Britain refuse?

And Now Cubist Poetry.

From the indianapolis News.
1t was inevitable. no doubt, that the
cubist movement should make it's
way into poetry. Nothing so bound
lessly free as the exuberant spirit of
this new art could be long confined
to one limited medium of expression.
Somewhere the heart of poet would
thrill to the touch of inspiration, and
a song would rise to celebrate the
ecstasy of a soul set free by cubist
deliveranee And at last the voice
has sounded From the wilderness
Of dead literary convention. Mr..
Max Weber, American painter-poet
and bold pioneer, cries the new poetry
of freedom. He calls his verses "Cu-
Dist POEMS" and with such title
there can be no mistaking of varied
subjects and variously, but. appro-
priately enough, he seems to sing best
of "Namelessness:"
/ greet thee namelessness,
An, then, my greeting is thy name.
/ know not that others know thee,
But my greeting in our meeting
We know each others name.
Hast thou no name, thou whom ]
greet?
And what if nameless though we be,
Thy being and my being
Is enough for you, and enough for me
And my name is thy name and thine
mine.
Though not yet so familiar as we
may later be with cubist poetry, there
still is something in these lines that
suggests even to our untutored judg-
ment a reaching out toward poetry
We do not know, TO be sure, what
Mr.. Weber Is singing about, but that
a characteristic of cubist art. II
could be observed, though. that the

Whichever way you chance to turn

With personal citation,
And fancy bears him far aloft
In joyous aviation.
All bravely he will loop the loop,

And the admring crowd will whoop
Throughout these broad domnions,
And sometimes propeller breaks
And causes CONSERVATION

we have quoted, or even with less.
But to do Mr.. Weber's work full jus
tice and to show to what sublime
heights the cubist poem attains, we
quote the rest:

'Tis our being and what we are
That makes us greet when we meet,

BELLED BUZzARD IN DAWSON.
Roy Smith Has Seen the Bird and the
Bell 1t TinkIeS.

The belled buzzard, which has
been reported at various places in
Georgia and Tennessee the past few
weeks, has paid Dawson a visit.
This famous bird was seen by Mr..
Roy D. Smith, assistant cashier of
the City National Bank, in that sec
ton of the city in which he lives.
And he not only saw the buzzard,
but he saw the bell also.
Hearing a tinkling noise and being
unable to locate it Mr.. Smith was
considerably puzzled until he looked
up and saw a large buzzard gliding
gracefully through the air. Then he
knew from whence it came, for be-
sides hearing the sound from above
he saw a small bell suspended from
the buZzard's neck.
There were many who thought the
belled buzzard was a myth, but its
existence need no longer be doubted.
