Rural Credit A city Problem.

The adequate financing of the
farmer is quite as important for
the best interest OF the man in the
city as it is for the welfare of the
man in the country, himself. Pro-
motion Of the agricultural industry
for the production of more abund-
ant crops and the lowering of the
cost of food is as much to the in
terest of the consumer in the city
as is the promotion of industry
which gives him an opportunity to
earn wages with which to buy his
food.
Rural credit is something more
than rural problem therefore.
Every banking and business in
terest in the city ought to be con-
cerned in affording the 4agricul-
turist at his door, or in the con-
tributing territory, full oppor-
tunity to finance his operations, so
that he can develop his land TO its
best producing capacity. He
ought to have facilities of credit,
comparable to those enjoyed by
the urban manufacturer or mer-
chant. He should not be forced
to exc out his existence in hand-t to-
mouth fashion, on a minimum of
cash, when entirely solvent and
with the good collateral of nature
behind him.
Rural credit is not public
charity. 1t is not, properly, a
scheme whereby State or Feder-
al treasures are flched for the
beuefit of the improvident or to
''set up" the needy in the
farming business. 1t is, rather, a
normal and natural extension of
the recognized principles of bank
ing, giving the farmer his equal
chance which except in rare in
stance has heretofore been denied
him. Philadelphia Bulletin.

Java Breadfruit.

Jack trees, another name for bread
fruit, grow wild in Java. The trees are
very straight and have trunks rising to
nearly fifty feet. The fruit is thirty
inches long and twelve inches broad,
the weight often reaching 120 pounds.
The flesh of the fruit is delicious, and
the oily seeds are eaten roasted. The
wood Is beautiful yellow in color and
is hard enough to be used for furniture
and cabinet work. When struck it gives
a very clear note; hence bells are made
of it, and pieces Of the wood are also
used by watchmen on mountains for
giving signals.

Victor EmmanusI,s Mustaehe.

The first ruler Of United Italy al
lowed his mustache to attain such a
length that in his later years he would
never eat anything at public BAN
quet. When taking food he was obliged
to tie the ends of the mustache behind
his head, and he would not appear in
this undignified attitude in front Of
people not belonging to his circle of in
timacy. After a visit he paid to Eng
land, Harriet, duchess of Sutherland,
wrote, "Victor Emmanuel is the only
knight of the garter l have ever seen
who looks as If he would certainly
have the best Of it with the dragon"
So evidently he had acquired the wish
ed for look Of ferocity-London Chron-
icle.

FAD or THE MoNocLE.
Il Was Introduced BY Dutch Dandy,
Jonkheer Breele.

u Was introduced by Dutch Dandy,
Jonkheer Breele.
One Of the interesting things written
about the monocle is that the fashion
was introduced at the congress OF
Vienna, the congress which remade the
map of Europe. Sir Horace Rumbold,
In writing on the subject of the origin
Of odd fashions and customs, said that
a Dutch exquisite, Jonkheer Breele,
was the first man toA wear monocle
and showed the then brand new fad
to the diplomats and others assembled
at the congress Of Vienna. After that
introduction the fad spread to all parts
Of Europe, but took its deepest hold on
certain members of the English well
to do classes.
Toward the end Of the first quarter
of the nineteenth century the fad Of
wearing the monocle had become so
popular that the writer of a book on
the care of the eyes and preservation
Of the vision inveighed against it. The
name Of that writer was DR.. Kitchiner,
and in 1923 he published Economy of
the Eyes" Among many adverse ref.
erences to the monocIe he wrote: "a
single glass, set in smart ring, is
often used by trinket fanciers for fash
ions sake. These folks have<not the
least defect in their sight and are not
aware Of the mischievous consequences
of such irritation. Washington Star.
