 ED BROKEN UP
Opinion Prevails That Border Bandits Ire About Broken Up, in ln-

Brownsville, Nov. 14.-With two weeks of quiet on the Texas border, tae belief prevails that the outlaw band who have wrought havoc at var ions times since last July causing deaths among American soldiers and citizens have been broken up.
 A resident of Brownsville who has been Investigating the various out breaks and who has possessed a better idea than the ordinary citizen as the number of the bandits said tonight he believed there were only two combin cd bands of marauders in existence. One of these containing five men was hidden in the brush eleven miles from here and the second eight in numoer, in the north end of the country forty five miles from here.
 He expressed the opinion that no further trouble might be expected un- less the bands succeeded in uniting This is not considered probable as the vigil of the border patrol is such that few of those believed to have taken part in former raids have either been captured or are afraid to come into the open. Of the band that wrecked a southbound St. Louis Brownsville and Mexico train on October 19 which was estimated to have about twenty five members, nine have been killed

NEED SYSTEM OF RURAL CREDITS
Instance Where Prosperous Young N
 Dairyman Handicapped.

Little Beck, Nov 15.-(Special.) )- Commissioner John H. Page has re- ceived a letter from a young Arkansas farmer, from which the following ex- tract is taken:
 We are young people and less than three years ago wnt into the dairy business for ourselves, and after mucn painstaking and costly work we have built up the best milking herd of near , ly 20 cows in the county. We are one mile from town, have a large barn. good silo, and neat home We would like some financial assistance. We seem to be able to secure plenty of money from the local banks, but on snort time and at ten per cent inter- est. Could you assist me in securing S2o0 OF long time and low rate of interest with the privilege of paying back at any time? We have a note of $125, given for stock, which We can pay, but if we can borrow $25O we would use part of it to pay this note, and use that amount to expand our business"
 This is cited by Commissioner Page as a proof of the great necessity Of some adequate system of rural credits, g question which is now of coordinate importance with that of diversifcation which is being accomplished.
