 reduce the most unpleasant features of the sport within endurable limits.
 Like prize fighting and dueling, war has been maintained by collection of rules, which have kept its terrors and cruelties within supportable linn it's. The use of explosive bullets is forbidden. Non, combatants are spared from pillage and slaughter. Pillage and wanton destruction are formally forbidden. The Red Cross service is organized to help the wounded. and is carefully protected by both sides. Congresses are held from time to time at Geneva or The Hague to preserve the beauty of this old sport by imposing new rules which will carefully preserve it's es- sentially sportive character.
 None of these congresses has quite succeeded in restoring the elaharate etiquette of the old days, when War was really the sport of kings. From the time the French Revolution made war democratic affair there has ap- peared a rather vulgar tendency to take this sport seriously, which ex- plains why today we see one enemy trying to destroy another, instead of beating his army in correct battle. Napoleon was beaten at Marengo according to the rules. He changed defeat into victory by refusing to ac- cept the decision and by attacking agan when the battle was, strictly speaking, finished, and the Austrians had gone home to tea. The marshals or Napoleon, although they were heroic nghting men, were also shame less brigands. who paid no attention to the rules.
 The traditions Of the game were, however, still strong and were re- QfnRQd trS k~~A H.

In America we are trying in a more or

the community leader. His school
house is a social center for to II the

meetings, for temperance lectures. and
for public gatherings of all sorts.

RETURNED FROM THE EAST
ID. W. Davis Spent a Month in Chicago
and New York.

President d. W. Davis of the First
'~ational Bank returned home Sun
.ay evening from the east where he
ad been for nearly a month looking
nier matters Of business. During his
absence Mr.. Davis visited Chicago
aud New York and also spent a few
days al Washington.
Mr.. Davis reports that business con-
ditions throughout the east do not
seem to be very hourishing. Many OF
the big institutions of the country are
running with lighter working forces
Than they have done for years, and
there is a belief prevalent that many
Of them will close down altogether.
All this in spite Of the united effort
Of the money power to keep things

II was not until Thursday that he took
any action to find out about the man,
and when he did begin to make in
q%uiries. IL was learned that Mr.. O'Con-
ner had departed by train and was out

A couple OF weeks ago the Press
contained a news item to the effect
that the people Of the Rockland and
Landing districts were going 10 10
some donation work on a particularly
bad piece of road between those two
towns. under direction and through
the solicitation OF Frank Lowry, road
oyerseer Of the Landing district. The
work has now been done and reports
are to the effect that the undertake
ing surpassed the expectations Of its
most enthusiastic boosters.
One hundred men and teams turned
out aud many who could not make ar
rangements to be on the job them
selves made cash donations, with the
result that that particularly bad piece
Of road has passed into history.
II is estimated that the amount OF
work done would have cost the coun-
" fully $4,000.

ARISE. Ihere is no cooperative store
mere and we never keep articles in
STOCK. We order seeds, manures OF
implements and notify the farme,
when they arrive. He takes care OF
them generally within twenty-four
hours. W. car do this because most
OF our members are near by. We get
everything a little cheaper and of bet.

In nothing, however. has the improve.

How a Farmers Bank Loans Money,
Our organization loans money to
It's members at 5h per cent. To de.
p~ositors we give three per e on all
deposits. We thus do business upon
a margin OF az per cent. On the 9th,
or hand the joint stock bank nearest
here charges ca per cent. interest.
but pays only pa per cent. interest O n
deposits. They require a margin of
Tour per cent. on which to do business
Not only have the joint stock banks I.
WIDER margin on the loans. but the
worst of 1t is you cannot get a loan
from a joint stock bank for more than
three months. They never loan for
longer than that time although some
times. OF course. they will grant re-
newals. The trouble is that these re-
newais are hard on the farmer. These
banks are only In the larger places,
Very often the farmer has to 90 some
distance, take his sureties with him
pay their expenses, give them their
dinner. and | am afraid sometimes
treat them to liquid refreshments. II
we have a man who want money and
he lives near by we simply ask him to
bring l n two good men as sureties. and
II they are all right and the man ia
onest and a good worker and his
neishbors speak well of him there ia
no difficulty and very little formality
IN getting the loan. In addition to our
deposits we have arranged for an over
draft from the Bank of Ireland at Dun
daik. They cooperate with us In a
friendly manner and help us much.
