He took command of the situation at
once, displaying fine capacity for or
ganization and system 1t needed only
few minutes to set order in the place
of confusion and to determine, with the
full concurrence of all parties. the con-
ditions under which George Bassett
was to defend his claim by undergoing
what may be perhaps intelligibly de-
fined as the Herman test. George de-
clared he could do it easily. He was
in state of great excitement and in
no condition to think calmly or proba-
bly, he would not have made the at
tempt at all Certainly he was over
confident.
1t was during the discussion of the
details of this enterprise that Georges
mother short distance down the
street received few female callers,
who came by appointment to drink a
glass of iced tea with her and to meet
the Rev. Mr.. Kinosling. Mr.. Kinosling
was proving almost formidably inter-
esting to the women and girls of his
own and other flocks. What favor of
his fellow clergymen a slight precious
ness of manner and pronuncia ton cost
him was more than balanced by the
visible ecstasies of. ladies. They bios
somed at his touch.
He had just entered Mrs. Bassett's
front door when the son of the house,
followed by an intent and earnest COM
pany of four. opened the alley gate
and came into the yard. The uncon-
scious Mrs. Bassett was about to have
her first experience of a fatal coinci-
deDce. 1t was her first, because she
was the mother of a boy so we'll be-
haved that he had become a proverb
Of transcendency. Fatal condolences
were plentiful in the Schofield and
Williams families and would have been
familiar to Mrs. Bassett had George
been permitted greater intimacy with
Penrod and Sam.
Mr.. Kinosling slipped his iced tea and
looked about him approvingly.S Seven
ladies leaned forward, for it was to be
seen that he meant to speak.
This cool room is a relief he said,
waving a graceful hand in a neatly
limited gesture. which everybody's
eyes followed, his own included. 1T

That concluded all the remarks about

Miss Beam retired in confusion be-

became diffused an impression that
Miss Beam was erotic.

A chorus of enthusiastic appreciation
affirmed the accuracy of this proclama-

pleasure. Georges spiritual perfection
was demonstrated by instances of It
related by the visitors. His piety was
cited. and wonderful things he had said
were quoted.

Back TO the city
Senator Maddux says this condition
is due entirely to the fact that the
farmer in California is not on an
equality with other interests. The
rural credits system which will be put
before the people in the shape of
constitutional amendment at special
election on October 26. is needed, says
MadduX. to reiuvonate the "back to
the farm movement in this state.
in his argument in favor of the ru-
raj credits system he places the mat
ter concisely before the voters. He
says:
"All life and wealth must come
from the land. The land is the basis
Of all value. The farmer must be
financed; he pays a greater interest
on money borrowed than any other
class and receives the least profit.
ITO be on an equality with other
businesses he must have ready capital;
must borrow ON long term and with
cheap interest. His crops are annual
and often fail. He is not on an equal
ity with other interests. Under pres
ent conditions the generality of people
shun that occupation and are rapidly
leaving the farms for the cities.
Unconstitutional amendment No. l..
if carried, will enable the legislature
to establish a system of rural credit
to aid the agriculturists. In coniunc-
ticn with the proposed legislation to
be enacted by the Congress Of the
United States, establi h a banking sys-
tenn for farmers, the State of Califor-
MIA will be able to establish a system
to issue bonds to he secured by first
mortgage on real estate. these bonds
to be carried by the banks for long
terms. with interest at per cent or
less.
"All progressive nations except the
United States have systems of rural
credits. Many of the states have in
augurated such a system.
Wherever there are adequate sys-
TENS the farmer is prosperous and is
enabled to make his land more pro-
ductive. The commercial banks do not
favor long loans. The farmers of ne
ccsaity must have long term loans
with low rate of interest"
