Next to the question of national de-
Tense, the question of rural credit
system in this country is more vital
To be effective rural credits must be
based on system very simple and il
must help the man who needsi That
means that the basis of credit must be
that of character, past record and
the moral hazard.
Each state should have rural credit
bank with the necessary capital. The
bank can have capital stock paying
five per cent in annual dividends and
such stock will be taken by investors
To begin with the capital stock must
be financed by the federal government
and the state wherein the bank oper-
ates. The federal government will lend
a higher degree of administrative eff
fficiency and will also give higher
standing to the directorate of the in
stitution and the state, with a knowl
edge of local conditions, should be at
least factor in the establishment and
conduct of these banks.
Local rural credit associations should
be established by twenty-five or more
farmers joining. themselves together,
each assuming unlimited liabilities for
the obligations of the local association.
The local rural credit association will
loan money to its members for specific
such as the buying of cows
and other live stock, the building of a
home or barn, digging of we'll, pur-
chasing implements, etc. And the
rural credit association will loan on
past record and the moral
hazard, also retaining az collateral the
specific commodity or object for which
he loan is made, with supervision over
he borrower to the extent of always
moving that the loan is safe and that
conditions are being complied with.
The local rural credit will give its
tote with the unlimited liability of each
member for the money required to the
entral rural credit bank. These notes
yhen Endorsed by the central rural
redit bank can then be sold and will,
command the best market
f any commercial, or even govern
len, proof of indebtedness.
To be of any benefit the loans to the
ldividual farmer must be made at
w rate of interest and he must have
ON five to ten years to pay the prin-
pal of the loan in. 1t has been our
pod fortune to come in contact with
lrmers in many of the western states

beneath it reads:

A more fantastic but less artistic
cartoon is from the "Ulk." An even

economy. They have a better
chance Of escaping the enemy's bull
lets than a horse or a man.
The Belgian police dogs have for
some years established their reputa-
ton as among the most intelligent
and most courageous members Of
the canine race. These are the dogs
that have done the best work for
their country during the present
war.
Major Richardson, Of the British
army, has trained many dogs for
sentry work, and they have done
some remarkable feats for their
country during the present war. He
also trains dogs for all the other
kinds Of military duty that have
been mentioned here.
The Major began by employing
bloOdhounds for military purposes,
but he is now more disposed to
make use Of Irish terriers and other
terriers OF a large type. These
dogs have the wonderful smelling
capacity Of the terrier, great activity
and courage and sufficient weight
and muscle for rough work and
fighting.
Weu-trained dogs have proved
very valuable as sentries. The dog
can smell a stranger when no human
enemy can detect him There is no
chance Of a surprise attack by night
when an Irish terrier Is on guard.
While the dog has been showing
his value and courage in war, it is
only right that some public recOg-
milton should be given to his serv-
ices. The British soldier receives
the coveted Victoria Cross for some
extraordinary deed OF bravery Why
should not a brave dog receive some
corresponding distinction for risking
his life? This was how the matter
appeared to the British public.
At the regular London dog show
just held a place Of honor was re-
served for fifteen dog heroes. IN
like the other animals present they
were not chosen for beauty OF form
or purity or race. They we're there
because they had done something.

WUBBLES WHO
SAVED a FRENCH
MARINE

America appears an important fac
tor in the war to German eyes. The
Germans are very much concerned
about our trade in war munitions
with the allies.
The protest of the United States
Government against the German sub
marine blockade raised a fresh crop
Of German cartoons. Then the prob
lem OF the American attitude towards
the British blockade Of foodstuffs be-
came a still more prolific subject for
them.
Thus it happens that Uncle Sam IS
the leading figure in many German
cartoons He is not a pleasing figure
as he appears to German eyes. His
angularity is excessive; in fact, he
is hardly human. He looks like some
mechanical toy made Of metal. and
that is perhaps how the tleshy Ger.
NAN regards the lean American type.
Some OF the cartoons are quitel
virulent. some are good-natured, butt
none Of them can be considered fat,
tering to Uncle Sam. Perhaps thel
strongest and cleverest Of all the
anti-Ameriean cartoons which havel
come over is one from "Simplicissi-
mus" Of Munich. It is entitled ''Neu-
traI America" and shows a sly,
bloodless, hypocriticaI Uncle Sam

Horses have played an even more
important part than dogs in the war,
but the frightful destruction OF
them is the most striking fact to be
recorded. 1t is said that a horse
at the front does not last-On the
average-more than three weeks,
and that millions OF them VIII be
killed. Horses viii become scarce
throughout the world as a result OF
the war.
If men have died in France, IN
Germany, Austria and Russia by
tens and sc6res Of thousands, then
it is no less true that the horses OF
the cavalry, the horses that haul the
field guns, the horses Of the trans
port trains, have paid their fearful
price. Indeed. American officers say
that it is very questionable whether
any Of the contending armies has in
its ranks to-day a horse that per
formed duty in the first week Of the
war.

ONE Of the most interesting
features Of this war has been
- the important and useful
part that dogs have played in it
Dogs have been used to draw light
guns, to act as assistants to the Red
Cross service, to do scout duty and
for several other purposes. Dogs
were employed in ancient wars and
their usefulness has for some years
been urged by European army Off
GERS. This IS the first important
modern war In which they have
been tested. They have fully justi-
fed the strongest claims made by
their trainers in many branches Of
military work.
Germany has 1000 trained dogs in
the field. both the French and Bel
gians are using them extensively,
and England has a corresponding
number.
The Russian Government recently
invited Major Richardson, Of the
British army, to PetrogTad to judge
the army and police dogs. Major
Richardson found that the best dogs
belonged to the Ismailovsky regi-
ment, which exhibited thirty-hTe
dogs, for night sentry work, draw
ing ammunition and carrying mes
sages. The next best regiment was
the Preobrashensky, and the third
was that of the SharpshOOters Of the
Guard
Germany uses her dogs chiefly for
ambulance work. In the enormous,
wild, thinly populated area in which
she is fighting against Russia It is
extremely difficult for the medical
officers to recover all wounded men
Here the ambulance dog with his
keen scent becomes Of enormous
value. These ambulance dogs have
saved hundreds OF men in the Ger
man army.
The Belgians have developed the
use Of dogs TO drag machine guns
and light quickfring guns more
than any other army. The dogs can
pull a gun farther and over rOugher
ground than a horse. They do not
succumb so easily to hard condi-
lions and by avoiding the use Of a
horse they represent an important
