What the Papers Say
MRS. LANsING,s WINE.

The wife of Robert Lansing. who
succeeded William Jennings Bryan as
Secretary of state in Pres't wilson
cabinet, has not much use for grape
Juice and after a diplomatic dinner at
which old anG good wines were serv-
ed, she said, or is quoted as saving:
Wine will be served at all dipIo-
matte banquets where the Sec'v of
State is host. Mr.. Lansing and / are
not extremists in the advocacy Of

He further indicts the preachers

sunday saws and does many things
which we regret, which we cannot
Justify. But he gets results. Men and
women are converted. We have TO
tolerate his profanity and other things
which we condemn because souls are
saved"
But even if it be conceded that
SUNDAY gets results, DR.. Aked rises 10
remark that the injury done by the
presentation of such a loathsome Cos
pei, with such a frightful God. such
a grotesque Christ. such tanJastlc

outmeasure and outweigh beyond ali
calculation the good obtained by these

MONEY FOR THE FARM.

The next congress. soon TO assemble.

thing about the long deferred rural
credit system Congress undoubtedly
viii have plenty to do if it meets the
demand for new measures of national
defense. possibilities of foreign COM
plications, and another presidential
election coming on, but nevertheless,
it would do we'll to take up this sub
ject, regardless of politics or war, and
do something about it.
1t is surely absurd that, while Ger
many has had for $50 years, a rural
credit system that enables her farm
ers to borrow money for long periods
at about three per cent, the American
farmer has 10 pay from six to twelve
per cent for shOrt-term loans-when
he can get them at ALL
The German system may not be ap-
plicable to this country as it stands.
but the principle of it at least seems
capable of adaptation here. It's simply
a method by which farmers pool their
credit. An American farmer seek
ing a loan has to go to bank which
represents organized money-lenders.
The German farmer goes to an associ-
alton representing organized borrow
ers
A community of landowners, called
a Landschaft, takes out a charter
under the German state and national
laws Each farm is registered &C
cording to its earning capacity. When
farmer wants money for carrying his
crop or improving his land or buying
stock. he applies to his Landschaft Of
flee for loan. The Landschaft takes a
mortgage for the amount agreed on,
charges him a small fee and gives
him a bond for the sum. He takes
that and sells it in the open market
as other bonds are sold. And such Is
the rating of these farm bonds that
they command normally a higher
price than German government bonds.
That is because the Landschaft as
whole is responsible for the pay
ment of the loan If the borrower
utAduAlo pay lAAt l-cliANSNAAeilA Neill
without legal action. foreclose the
mortgage, sell the land and pay off the
debt. The borrowers, however, sell
dom default. There is little reason to.
They have plenty of time for payment.
And by paying an annual percentage
no larger than the American farmer
is accustomed to. they not only pay
their interest charges but at the same
times scale down the principal. by an
amortization arrangement. so that
gradually the principal itself is wiped
out.
The prosperity of German farmers
is based largely on this system. Are
American farmers, needing money and
holding the best collateral in the
world. less able than Germans TO work
together in the same way for THEN
mutual interests?
