Church Circles Meet.
Thursday afternoon marked the sec
ond meeting of most of the neighbor-
hood acquaintance circles of Central
Union Woman's Society, and the
scheme, so successfully launched in
October, received fresh impetus this
month when several of the circles pre-
scented new members to their group.
Circle No. 8, of which Mrs. ]. T.,
Warren is leader, was most charming
ly entertained by Miss Annie Hustace
and Mrs. j. L. Mclean at the hospit-
able home of the former on Beretania
street, the guests assembling at
O'Clock ready for work. Mrs. War
ren's first plan for her circle was to
sew rags for blue and white rugs SINH
lar to those made famous by the wom-
en- works of old Deerfeld, Massachu-
sets. which are purchased by people
of wealth throughout the East and
disappear from the quaint little work
shops with the rapidity usually cred
tied to the proverbial hotcake.
The second meeting of Circle COM
pleted the sewing of the rags for the
first rug, and il is hoped to have the
finished product ready for exhibition
at the December meeting. Lei max
ing was also undertaken by this group
and the women hope to dispose of
these leis or to take orders for new
ones at carnival time, to add to the

AUTO BURNED
MlNOT MAN LOSES VALUABLE
CAR WHICH CAUGHT FIRE
MONDAY ON NORTHEAST HILL.

Clarence Parker's Apperson car
caught fire on the northeast hill Mon
day afternoon and was almost totally
destroyed. Mr.. Parker started for his
farm and he believes that the colored
lad who looked after his car failed to
put water in the radiator. Just as he
got to the top of the hill, there was an
explosion. The hood was seen to raise
and the foot boards blew out. Mr..
Parker lost no time in getting out of
the car and saw that the gas pipes
were leaking.
A fire alarm was turned in and the
fire ladies rushed out with the chem
ical engine, but the blaze could not be
put out. What was left of the car
was pulled back to the city that night.
Mr.. Parker paid $4250 for his car a
few years ago. 1t was a specially
built car and at the time was one of
the very best in the state The car
was insured for $1700.

IMMIGRATION BILL
NOT REFERRED
SECRETARY OF STATE HALL is
SAID TO HAVE PINNED TWO
DISTINCT PETITIONS TOGETH-
Err IN ORDER TO SECURE SUF-
FICIENT NAMES.

Attorney General Linde unearthed
what is purported to be an error Of
mammoth proportions in the office Of
Secretary of State Thomas Hall, when
he ascertained that Senate Bill 1874,
providing for an immigration board
and the appropriation for same was
not referended as was supposed, for
two distinct petitions had been filed
together, one of which sought to refer
the whole bill and the other merely
the appropriation for the committee.
By combining the petitions, there were
few more names than enough to re-
fer the bill.
It is believed that upon his return
Gov. Hanna will call a meeting
of the immigration board which con-
sists of himself, R. F. Flint, commits
sioner of agriculture; w. H. Stutsman,
chairman railway commission and
Thomas Hall, secretary of state.

"Some of the results of the investi-

countries are as follows:
"1st. Statistics show that there
are about 100000 farmers in the
United States who have borrowed
capital of $6,O40,OOO,0 upon which
the average rate of interest is 1-2
per cent, including commissions and
renewals.

shown by experts, equal about rs per
cent of the annual interest charges
on the mortgage Indebtedness of the
farmers. Therefore, as nation, we
were not producing a sufficient sur

annual interest on farm mortgages by

trouble is the lack of sufficient cap

the farmer, the actual producer.
"The solution of this problem is as
important to the whole country as

are unable to procure sufficient cap
