Says Farmers
Don't Do the
Best Things

KANSAS CITY, Aug, 27.-What
they termed the too lenient policy Of
bankers in assisting farmers was
challenged by railroad agricultural
experts at the state agricultural and
good roads conference which met here
today
THE old fashioned methods Of ag-
riculture endauEer the capital bor-
rowed from banks When the farmers
are using your money, you have a
right to compel them to use methods
which are for their own good, was
the consensus OF opinion of the rail-
road men in reply TO w G. Gordon
of Marshall, Mo, president of the
Missouri bankers association after he
had outlined the bankers policy.
Banking, railroad and educational
interests represented agreed on the
difficulty Of cooperating with the
farmers. one speaker said owing to
the diffidonce of the farmers his rail-
road was doing less effective farm eN-
tension work in Missouri than i'm any
other state.

NTASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Ger-
w manys intention to offer full
satisfaction to the United States for
the sinking of the liner Arabic with
a loss of two American lives was
communicated formally to the state
department today by Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
on instructions from the Berlin for
cign office. The ambassador read to
Secretary Lansing a memorandum
outlining the position OF his govern
ment. 1t promised that if it was
found that the Arabic was attacked
without warning the imperial gov
ernment not only would promptly dis
avow the act, but would give the
United States satisfaction This, it
is we'll known, would have to include
reparatiOn for the Americans lost and
assurances that such tragedies would
not be repeated.
Proof Must be Strong.
No further developments in the
situation are expected now until the
submarine commander who sank the
Arabic has reported to Berlin. Mean
time President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing, though Visibly encouraged
and relieved by Count Won Bernstorfts S
assurances and reports from Ambas-
sador Gerard on his conferences with
Foreign Minister Won JagOw, are in a
waiting attitude. Before the Amer
lean government can speak there
must be forthcoming the German dis
avowal and explanation Of what all
evidence received has seemed to prove
was an 'unfriendly act"
1t became known tonight that the
state department had been informed
that Germany is ready to renew dis
cussion of the Lusitania incident and
to offer reparation for the American
lives lost when that vessel was sent
to the bottom without warning by a
German submarine. There has been
no response to the last American note
on this subject and it is known that

John had hasty talk with Jessie,
who decided that the momentous
question at issue should be postponed
until the $500 was made up.
So John showed no suIlenness or
resentment to the arbitrary ultima
tum of his hard-headed employer, but
went cheerfuIly about his duties as
usual, willing to abide a better con-
ditiOn of affairs.
One day there came into the book

long straggly white beard and old
fashioned goggles and clothes were
concerned. When he announced him
self as president of newly insti-
ttued college in far-away Alberta the
bookseller never doubted his word,
fOrNhe looked the antiquated peda-
gogue completely.
He gave his name as Prof. Marsh
and stated that the college trustees
had set apart $4,000 to buy library.
For a week he inspected the shelves
of the book store and it's catalogues,
writing down a list of innumerable
volumes and their prices, and old
Abercrombie rubbed his hands quite
joviaIly at the prospects of making a
big sale with broad profits.
Several times the old professor had
spoken Of a set of books represent
ing the works Of an obscure and we'll
night forgotten German savant.
These covered some absTuse psyche
logical ideals and had been a great
favorite with him, he said, in his
younger days.

Follow my tactics, - he observed
to John. Get your order before you
buy, as have done"
The owner of the set of rarities
appeared the following morning in a
cab. The volumes in question were
unloaded, the man was paid his price.
Mr.. Abercrombie turned up his
nose at the books as he looked them
over.
