Grange Discusses Credit.

Wilmington, DEL, Nov. 23.-In-
creased measures of farm credit and
better cooperation were the main
subjects of consideration at the session
of the National Grange, Patrons OF
Husbandry.
The subject of better farm credits
was brought up by T. c. Atkeson OF
West Virginia, who offered a resolu-
ton setting forth that the history OF
all nations proved government aids in
the form of farm credits to be ne
cessity to the efficiency of food pro-
duction and for saving farmers from
the high cost of loans. 1t declares
that the Hollis-Buckley farm credit
bill, now pending in Congress, is
hardly in compliance with the request
of the oranges.

POPE Plus x

The death of Pope Plus X from
a broken heart on account of the
European war has aroused the
sympathy of all creeds and denomi-
nations. He was a potent figure in
the religious field and a devoted
believer in the Mother church. He
exerted a great inf1uenc. for good
among his people. His loss will be
severely felt throughout the world.
His dying plea for the peace of
Europe va a touching revelation
of his great interest in humanity's
cause. Though it went unheeded
by the rulers. it stamped him as a
lover of the human race.

WHEN THE HIGH COST OF
LIVING DID NOT BOTHER

Apropos of the present high cost
Of living accumulated by the war in
Europe, comes to light a store bill
in the possession of W. H. Bray,
says the Reno Gazette. The goods
were bought at Austin in 1865 and
the prices r compared with those
Of the present day with interesting
deductions.
Potatoes we're then worth $3.50
a sack of 100 pounds. A SO pound
sack of -four cost $7.OO. The groc-
cry man Charged $500 for seven
pounds Of sugar, and there is an
entry Of 48 pounds of beans costing
$58. The price of salt was four
cents a pound.
Austin was at that time one of
the busiest mining camps in the
state. 1t was producing millions
Of dollars worth Of the white metal
a month and silver at that time was
worth one-sixteenth the price of
gold. Money was SO plentiful that
no account was paid to the cost of
living, at least the record in MIR.
Bray's. possession indicates that
many accounts were not paid at all.

A TIME TO GIVE THANKS

1t would be a Christening and
beneficial experience for the critics
of President Wilson's Mexican pol
icy TO sit down and 60 over their
criticism of a few weeks since.
Where would the world be if the
United States and Mexico were at
war today?
At this moment all mankind
turns to the history of the United
States. Never before in the history
of the race has a people faced such
a responsibility. With the Six Great
Powers of Europe already tremb-
ling IN the verge this nation is the
center of the worlds hopes. The
great ships of the Seven Seas seek
asylum in our harbors: nations fac
ing panic stretch out their hands to
us for gold; we shall be called upon
to feed the hungry, TO do many q
gracious deed to those needing the
Offices Of the Good Samaritan, per-
haps to mediate between bleeding
and exhausted foes. And we are
in a position to respond to these
appeals to preserve l00. 900 900 of
our own people in prosperous Sc
curity, because U hands are clean
Of blood and we are at peace with
all the world.
Suppose we had been engaged
in a war of subiugation in Mexico,
with all its colossal economic waste,
when we wer called upon to sus-
tain the tottering business struc-
,ure of the world. Suppose today
the whole Of South America were
one red blaze Of Indignation he
cause of our invasion OF the terri
tory of a Latin-American people.
Suppose our financial structure
along with the strain of the NOV
ing of the enormous crops and the
Incidental disturbances from over
seas, were weighted with the neces-
sity of financing a costly war, with
all sources Of international credit
dried up. Suppose there was no
abode of high civilization on either
continent, no single nation of
wealth and power to whom the
hope of mankind might turn 81 the
abode q peace. Is it not time to
give thanks for the p ,tient wisdom
Of the President?-St. Louis Re-

Value of Erult Acids.

1t Is thought that acid fruits induce
rheumatism. The contrary is true.
Fruit acids taken into the system by
q person, who has rheumatism act
beneficially, and actually have the eff
feet of increasing the alkalinity of the
blood. Experiments have proved this
conc'usiyely. Thus a person who has
too much uric acid in the blood should

one word where expenditures
could be cut only on the schools

manner of a slam: Say Cow rnor
Oddie, there was not one intelligent
man who listened to your long pre-
amble but what saw through your
fiimsy paper that you read to the
audience. Your comparisons were
erroneous. In the first place when
the State expenses amounted to
100000 the total asset valuation
of property in the State amounted
to about $4,000, 900 valuation,
and now the total valuation reaches
the enormous valuation of over
$4,000, 900, and still YOU have
the immaculate gall to compare the
two expenditures.
"You will have to coach your
publicity secretary that the taxpay-
ers are mot going to eat up any
such rot, for the Controllers re-
port shows different figures. Take
your entire administration figures
by Paul Gaston's report and your
administration expenditures will
reach over Sd, 600, OOO for four
years. Are you responsible for it?
Probably not, but don't try to
show by any concoctel figures that
the States expense account is less
by big odds than any former ad-
ministraticn. Did you show by n
! manner of means where the tax
payers could reduce the expense &C.
count? Not on your life. Did
you show the extravaganza of your
Fish Commissioner Mills? Did you
tell the Club members where to be-
gin on retrenchments?
"Mr. Oddie, we can and will show
to the taxpayers of Neavda where
we can cut over $500, 600 worth of
extravaganre. We can show by
members of your W party where
they can save the State close to
$500, 600. Do you know that other
