ruin
Cold government figures show that
this nation of farm owners is rapidly
| becoming nation of farm tenants.
There are now tenants on 81 per cent
of our farm land. That is because
each farmer tries to borrow for him
self and market for himself instead
OF doing it through an organization of
the kind outlined, such as his opera
ton in the countries of continental
Europe.
You, the farmers, have to plead and
pray On bended knees for money to
finance your crops. You pay big in
terest on short time loans. If you hap
pen not to be able to pay it back
promptly, you are apt to be sold out.
Then you become tenant.
When you take your crop to market
you have to take the market price
or leave it, even if you know it is
less than your crop costs you to pro-
duce. Debts having been piled up for

one instant longer than you choose to
do it. Why not build up the proposed
organization?
Rome died in the pomp and grand
Gus of her marble halls because she
crushed the mud house of the small
land owning farmer. She made his
markets poor and his capital hard to
get. The same thing is happening in
the United States today. Therefore

The Marketing organization should
be semi-officially governmental in

ganized under government charter.
This gives it standing and prestige
without the danger of becoming a
sinister political organization, or split
into dozens of heterogeneous ineffec-
tive organizations.

THE UNBREAk ABLE
By David Lubin.

u. S. Delegate to international In

Written for the United Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-When Pres
I ident Wilson declared that "the ques-
tion of rural credit is the most vital
ly important problem confronting the
American people today" he certainly
knew whereof he spoke.
| You farmers who go bindly from
year to year, letting financiers die
tate whether you shall have enough
cash at reasonable interest with
which to run your farms, are doing a
very foolish and unnecessary thing.
Yesterday | told you how you
could form an efficient National
Marketing association with ramifica-
tions in every township in the coun-
try.
Today 1 am going to SHOW you how
! you can form National Rural Credit
/ system along the same lines. A sys-
tenn owned and controlled, not by
! bankers, not OF business or profession
al men, nor by anyone whose inter
ests would conflict with yours-but
owned and controlled absolutely by
you-the farmer.
What tell you here is nothing
but facts about system which, IN
the l51 years it has been in operation
in Germany, has not known sin
gle failure. Its bonds now, hold their
own as they always have, whether iii
normal or abnormal times. Why?
because its bonds are based upon the
land itself, which no one can harm,
and they are bonds issued by the
farmer himself.
The system is known as the Land
schaft. You can adopt and adapt it in
the United States ii you will. You
would thus have your own organiza-
ton for financial cooperation under
crarter from the u. S. government
You and a group Of your neighbors
landowners, after getting the charter
would determine the actual cash val

Say it was S5,0O0,00O.
i You would issue on each mortgage
bonds to be sold in the open market
on security, (your $5,O00,00O worth Of
land being the security, so SOUND
that you will readily dispose Of then
at or above par. The bonds draw
to per cent and run from so to ii
years.
Who, you ask, will be the buyers?
Your neighbors: the butcher, th'
shoemaker, the widow with mite Il
invest; all people with small saving
or large. The security for so small

Thirty-five hundred dollars worth

found near the head OF Rock canyon,
on the Mojave desert, by Dave Bow

arrived in Bakersfield this morning
from Mojave.
Mr.. Bowman was not prospecting
when he found the nugget, according
to Mr.. Underwood, but was merely
going into the canyon when he saw
the great lump Of gold.
The nugget is very nearly the larg-
est ever found in this vicinity. Mr..
Bowman had no scales with him to
weigh the gold but rigged up a bal
ance with a 10-pound hammer on
one end and the nugget at the 9TH
er end proved three-fourths OF a
pound heavier.

Mercury far cut-welChed the game lit

was in the pink of condition and deter
mined to close the season with a victory.
Capt. Percy played a most brilliant
game for the cadets, pulling of many
long runs and proving himself a demon
on the defense. Maggie Magruder,
Nplaying his last game for Briarley, was
almost invincible once he got under way.
The entire Briarley team had been

out of six starts and completed the most
successful gridiron season the school has
ever known. Sid Lodge had but four
teen men to report for the team in Sep

Carroll Team to Protest

theory that 1t was not run the specined
distance, which the rules Of the Amateur
Athletic Union make plain. According 10
the rules of the A. A. L., the distance

the clocking of the runners, Geigers time
for the six or six and a half miles
was 23;C6, while the worlds record for
four miles by the greatest Of all cross
country runners is 24:37 is. The whole
question is this: How Is a runner In this
section of the woods going 20 run six and
one-half miles in 9:O6 when Hannes
Kolehmainen was only able to run six
miles and $50 yards in 5l:9 against the
greatest runners OF all countries In the
OLYMPIC games in Sweden in 1872. Can
il be done?
From the standpoint Of the champion
ship the local club has every reason In
the world for protesting, and any COM
mittee willing to rule that way can but
sustain its protest. From this one run
il appears as though the Baltimore run
