side is the following interesting COM
ment on the system of German credits:
According to Mr.. David Lubin, the
German Landschaft system of land-mort-
gage bonds, tested for l5l years, is the
only one which win float and maintain
is value without government guaranty;
the only one which will get the farmers
money, as it has in Germany, at from
three to four per cent, with amortization
at the end of 80 to so years; the only
one which avoids the hazards and ex-
pense of engaging in the banking BUSH
ness, and can be conducted at a trihing
expense; the only one which will fur
nish bonds which in time of war and
panic will float at interest lower than
government bonds; the only one which
will furnish safe investment for every
investor
1T cannot be put in effect without
important changes in our state laws.
Professor Brodnitz of Halle uniyer-
sity, Germany, states that the Land
schaft system is standing the test OF
this war as it has at all other times"
The states are rapidly adopting rural
credit plans which are the best they find
it possible to frame at the moment.
1t will be pity if, when the national
government acts, it does not give us the
best possible system"

Cuts Of His Finger as Object Lesson.

We have heard of the absent minded
man who struck at fly on his nose with
his razor, but never of human being
who cut OIL second finger in explain
ing how he happened to lose the first one.
In the current issue Of Farm and Fire
side is the following story Of man who
succeeded in this remarkable achieve
ment:
"He did not know much about machin-
cry, but thought he would put one of
his hands down near a rapidly whirling
circular saw TO see if he could feel any
rush OF wind. He ventured too far and
lost one OF his fingers, cut off as by
mighty knife.
How did you do it someone asked,
hearing the cry of terror and pain from
the mans lips.
why, | wanted to feel the wind and
held out my hand like this, was the re-
ply as the thoughtless man put out the
hand which had not yet suffered from
contact with the pitiless saw. That hand,
too was thrust too near the teeth of the
saw and another finger went too.

"His Influence Will Remain. .

The passing of Joseph Arend DeBoel
removes from the capital and state Q
strong, virile personality, an active fac
tor for all that is best in civic life and a
character worthy of emulation, but he
has left an influence which will long be
felt--an influence that makes for better
citizenship, increased civic pride and a
fuller belief in humanity.

keen perception, a most unusual breadth
Of view and knowledge Of men, he gave
Iunstintingly of his time and effort for
the betterment of the city and common
wealth, without remuneration or desire
for political preferment, but solely out of
love for the state, which held SO high
place in his heart, and true, sincere inter
est in his fellow man. No selfish motives
ever dictated his actions. Had such been
the case, he would have held the highest
position within the gift of the people of
Vermont.
He was never a seeker after office, be-
lieying that the office should seek the
man, but was ever ready to serve the
state in any capacity when a demand
was made for his services and be gave
freely OF his valuable time to the adjust
ment of public affairs and was invaria-
bly, successful in whatever he undertook
in this direction, just as he was success
full in placing the organization OF which
he was the head in the foremost rank of
financial institutions of this country.
His distinguished success was achieved
through the force of merit, ability and
character and the untimely ending of his
career will be felt and mourned in every
section of Vermont.
As friend Mr.. DeBoer's loyalty was
