ANOTHER OKLAHOMA ExpER
IMENT

The State Of Oklahoma, which is a
pioneer in much experimental legisla-
ton, is the first American common
wealth to enact rural credit law
and like all pioneer legislation in new
fields it has good points and some
which in our opinionrare not so good
The main features OF the law are that
loans are made on % IL years time
to be paid in Az semi-annuai INSTALL
ments to pay both interest and prin-
cipal are at the rate Of four dollars
on each 500, which make annual pay
ments amounting to eight dollars. As
to this feature there may be some
doubt although it is not easy to sug-
gest a remedy unless it be to extend
the time of payments from 20 IL
years to a much longer period. The
payment Of eight per cent per year, al
though part OF it goes for the extin-
guishment Of the debt will be found
a very heavy burden upon the far
mers of Oklahoma. who. we doubt
not, have been getting money at less
annual outgo, although all went for
interest and nothing on the principal.
Oklahoma's experiment along these
lines viii be watched with great inter-
est by those interested in measures
for the betterment Of rural conditions
throughout the United States. Her
pioneer legislation along the guaran-
teeing of bank deposits evidently
proved successful as we hear nothing
at all about it these days, and if it
had proved failure there would have
been no end to the publicity which
that fact would have secured.

THE GEM sTATE FAIR

The management of the Gem State
Fair are conducting the business Of
their association in a manner to
gain the good will of the entire COM
munity. This Fair is under the con-
troi OF farmers Of Ada county, but
has won the support Of the business
interests Of Boise TO degree never
enjoyed by any similar association
in the past
1t bespeaks the dawning Of newer
and better day in the material prog
ress of city, county and state when an
association Of farmers can enlist the
enthusiastic support Of business men;
and this new spirit is vitality necessary
to the growth and development Of the
commonwealth It will be great
day for Idaho when there exists no
jealousies between town and country,
when the urban and country popula-
tion work hand in hand for the pros
perity of all. and this is the spirit that
is most noticeable in the conduct Of
the Gem State Fair.
There are evidences that the fair
wifi be the greatest ever held in Boise
and that it win be the forerunner Of
many annual successful events for the
marking Of the development Of the
State. Let US all put a shoulder to
the wheel to see that such is the
result.

sEAMEN's LAW IS WEAKENED

Washington--The department of
commerce has made public United
States Attorney General Gregory's
ruling that the life-saving provisions
of the new seamen's law only applies
to. the United States and few minor
maritime nations and exempts vessels
of France, Norway, Japan and other
leading competitors of this country.
Failure of congress, in passing the
seamen's law at the last session, to re-
peal conflicting statutes is given as the
reason for this decision. Officials of
the department of commerce are
agreed that congress will be asked to
amend the law at the next session, but
it is equally certain that the shipping
interests are planning to take advan-
tage of the mix-up and endeavor to
bring about the repeal Of the entire
law

designed to provide safety to life al

Removing Carbon With oxygen.

In using oxygen to remove carbon de.
posts from the cylinders Of gas en-
gines there are certain important things
that should be remembered Before
using the oxygen the crank shaft should
be revolved until the piston is at its
extreme inner position or the head end.
dead center position. The reason for
doing this is that the intense heat OF
burning the carbon tends to roughen
the cylinder walls. The fame should
not be allowed to strike the threads Of
the spark plug opening as It VIII dam
age them. The water cooling system
should be full during the operation.
