Financial Aid 70 the Farmer.

or course the process Of lacking an
amendment to the agricultural ap-
proprlation bill is no way to 60 about
fabricating such important legislation
as a rural credits measure. The very
manne of undertaking to put a law
Of this sort on the statute books is
bound to provoke suspicion and should
aus widespread dlstrust.
There is no occas sion for haste and
huggermugger in this matter. Although
President WILSON long ago included
a rural credits law in his programme,
the Administration has been content
in recent months to allow the subject
to receive further discussion before
proceeding to action.
The farm mortgage provisions Of
the Federal Reserve act are suffi-
ciently liberal to deserve a trial be-
fore experimenting them with special
Federal machinery. States have been
extending their law making activities
in this field and there Is no reason
for hurry at Washington. For several
years past Senators and members OF
Congress. other Government officers
and %appolniees. together with any
number OF private bodies, have been
canvassing the subject and working
on schemes for better methods Of
financing the farmer than custom has
developed. hut a. yet opinion has not
become settled. There is no sufficient
agreement TO form a basis for Federal
law making In any event.
1t is highly desirable TO stimulate
agricultural industry and make II
more attractive. There ire not enough
farmers in the United States Even
though there Is nor and more scien-
tific farming and an increasingly skill
ful use OF proper fertilizers and the
like. our farms do moi produce enough.
CnQuestionably improved credit facili-
ties will help the American farmer,
but unless these facilities are sup
piled along the lines OF sound public
policy they will dc more harm than
good.
Nothing IL to he said IN favor OF
the particular measure which has
been fastened ON the agricultural ap-
preparation bill. The Administration
regards the establishment of an
American merchant marine as the
most desperate necessity OF the mo
ment. but the very thought Of A Gov
ernment subsidy to hat end seems Ia
be abhorred NJ Washington. The rural
credits amendment contcmplates a d.
rect Government subsidy TO the farm
ers. and our agriculture Is In no such
desperate case rs to cali for any such
emergency relief. Taking the Amert
can farmer as a whole. he Is n thrift
less borrower. lie has plastered his
property with mortgages and his
credit is Door because he Is an tmprov'
ident debtor. There Is more likelihood
Of aggrayating his financial mnla
dies than Of curing them X rura
credits legislation takes the wrong di
rcctlon. The financial reforms aimed
at can afford to wait until the bes'
lines Of action are more clearly de
fined. even IL statesmen from rura'
constituencies are deprived Of a handy
argument for reelection.

SANDER.

A little slice of SANDER will do no
end of harm. You say that Alexander
has got a wooden arm. The chap
who hears you tell it, will note the
story down, and then he'll go and yell
it, with frills, throughout the town.
He'll peddle here and yonder, all up
and down the line, the tale that Al
exander has got wooden spine.
Then Johnsing will meander, and tell
his neighbor, Gregg, that poor old
Alexander has got a wooden leg. And
Lyman tell Leander-this way such
stories spread-that luckless Alexan-
der has got wooden head. Then AL
exander hears it; tear streams from
his eye; he brands it and he sears it

Be ready to leave the church at

transportation it will be provided.
We ought to be expecting great
things from the services of next
Lords day. In the first place there
ought to be substantial increase of
interest in the Sunday school. Then
We ought to get acquainted with some
new faces at the communion and
preaching service. OF course, every
one will want to be at the basket din
ner. Somehow or other when you
have eaten together you seem to be
just little nearer to each other.
There is something of spiritual tie
resulting from the table bond Of
primitive life, to be experienced even
in this modern day. Then we want a
rich social hour for the afternoon
and a stirring evangelistic service
for the evening. Let us all do the
work of making Sunday, Nov. Z, a
day of historic interest in the life of
our church.
