CANADIANS RANK
HIGH IN LONDON
MUSICIANS FROM THE TRENCHES
TREATED WITH GREATEST
CONSIDERATION

LONDON, July 31.-Residents of
the metropolis are coming to think
more and more of the Canadians.
Their popularity is immense, all
classes being ready to cheer them on
any occaeion. their pleasant position
being DIE to their prowess in the
trenches and in the raiding lines at
the front.
The most recent opportunity of the
Londoner to pay homage to those OF
the Dominion has just occurred in
the parade of 300 selected bandsmen
of the Canadian expeditionary force.
The musicians, who were the soloists
picked from $1,000 bandsmen with
the force, gave a promenade concert
at the Royal Opera house, in aid of
the women's tribute week.
Then, divided into three complete
bands, they paraded the Strand, Pic
cadilly, Pail Mall and into Trafalgar
square, receiving enthusiastic cheers
from all sides.

Washington Letter
BY Edward Keating

s, By Edward Keating
Congressman from the third Colorado
District.
That the farmers-of the United
States are eager to take advan-
tage Of the provisions of the
Federal Farm Loan Act is evi.
denced by the tact that applica-
tions have already been received
for loans aggregating $l50.0O0,
600. This is-a surprising showing
when one considers that the sys.
tenn has not been completely or
ganized and that loans cannot be
made for some tine after the
first OF the year.
The members of the farm loan
board are still engaged on the
task of dividing the country lnro
twelve districts and arranging to
establish a central bank in each
district. After that has been
done the work of issuing charters
to the local farm loan associa-
tions, made no of farmers in the
various communities. will be un-
dertaken. These details take
much time but they must be dis
posed of, and disposed of care
fully and accurately. before the
great system can begin it's bene-
ficient operations.
LAW SHOULD BE AMENDED
In the meantime the friends of
rural credits are more and more
impressed with the belief that
the existing law is only one step
in the right direction and that
we should begin the formulation
of needed amendments.
For example, there is the
question of marketing the bonds
issued b. the farm loan banks.
Under the law the banks may
charge the farmers MOTTO exceed
one,per cent more than the rate
of interest they are compelled to
pay on their bonds. Therefore,
the lower the interest rate on the
banks bonds the lower the inter-
est rate on the farmers mort
gage. Hence the need that the
best possible mar6et be created
| for these bondsg
When the bill! was before the
House some Of us attempted to
secure the adoption of an a.
mendment premitting the invest
I ment of the National Postal saw
Lgs bank deposits in the bonds.
| We pointed out that these de-
| posits were now being placed
with the banks at a low rate of
interest and were being loaned
by the banks to the people at a
high rate OF interest. To invest
the deposits in bonds of the
farm loan banks would result in
increasing the amount of interest
earned by the deposits and at the
same time would probably result
in q reduction of the interest
| charged On TIE bonds. This
would effect a saving for the
| farmer on the Interest he would
have to pay on his mortgage and
at the same time it would enable
the government to pay a higher
rate Of interest to those who
placed their money in the gov
ernment's savings banks.
No one would have "a kick
coming" except possibly tie
banker and he was being pretty
well caret for by other laws.
JOUR FARMERS ARE ASLEEP
| We lost our fight, but we lost
it because the farmers of the
country were not alive to their
own interests and the bankers
were on the job" The fight
will be renewed but we will moi
win until the farmers wake up.

Banks paying four or four and
one-half per cent and the farmer
in turn could borrow the money
he needed for not to exceed five
or FIVE and one-half per cent.
That is what Australia has
done. The other day Professor
Elwood Mead. of the University
of California, told a committee of
the House, the story of his ex-
periences in Australia where he
had been employed by the gov
ernment in connection with its
great colonization scheme.
The United States is tagging
behind the civilized world in this
matter of encouraging agricul-
ture," said Professor Mead. In
Australia the government not
only constructs the irrigation
works. but it levels the ground.
builds model houses, fences the
the land, seeds the ground and
thus gives the prospective setter
an opportunity to become the
owner of an improved farm on
easy payments at a low rate of
interest.
In this country we build the
irrigation works and turn the
settler loose to shift for himself,
In the majority of instances he
fails because of lack of capital.
lack of experience, or because of
the lack of something else which
the state might have provided.
1--WE pursue the same policy
with the hom este lders on that
portion of the public domiin
which cannot be irrigated. The
system is all wrong and mast be
changed.
The United States must dis
play that intelligent, helpful in
terest In its agricultural popuia-
ton which is manifested by
almost every other large country
in the world"
Presiden, Wilton has issued his
long expected appeal to the war
ring nations IF Europe urging
them to come together in a con-
ference and enGeavor to adjust
their differences. His plea may
be rejected b. the kings and Dip
lomats but it will meet with an
earnest second from the men in
the trenches and from the wom-

Even here in America there
are some who criticise the Pres
idenr and argue tnat 'the time is
not propituous."
Jane Adams, the good angel
OF Hull House, hit the nail on tire
heai the other day, however.
when she said: ANY time is a
good time to talk of peace.
The president is speaking for
the moral forces of the universe.

france ana England.
IF the people could be permit
ted to handle the situation the
questions at issue would be dis
posed of in short order. But /
am afraid they will have as little
to do with settling the war as
they had with starting it. The
only part they are expected to
play in the great catastrophe is
to do the fighting.
COST TO THE NEUTRALS
The president in his appeal
lays emphasis upon the losses
sustained by neutrals as the re-
suit of the war. He could have
produced a mountain of evidence
to sustain his contention.
The lives of hundreds of neu-
trails have been sacrificed in this
struggle to which their countries
are not parties, but in addition
to that the financial cost of the
war to the United States and
other innocent bystanders" is
appalling.
The terrifying increase in the
cost of living is almost wholly
traceable to that cause. Take
the one item of sugar. 1t is es-
timated by experts that the SUI
gar bill of this country for this
year will be $50 million dollars
more than it would have been in
normal times.

Even the stogies which l

of Pittsburg have advanced 33 1-3
per cent.
l might go down the list of the
things needed to maintain life.
and practically all would show a
marked increase in price. due, in
large part to. the war.
GROWTH OF MILITARISM
But the most serious result of
all is the growth of the militar-
istic spirit in our own land in the
other neutra! countries.
II any one had suggested four
years ago that we double our ex-
penditures for military purposes,
he would have been driven out
of public life. We have done
worse than that.
Congressman Carl Van Dyke,
of Minnesota, made a speech to
the teachers of Washington a few
days ago in which he told them
why they could not secure an in
crease of salary.
The nations income during the
current year. according to Mr..
Van Dyke, would be approx
mately 1895, 600. 000- exclusive OF
postal receipts. 1t was proposed
to spend $762, 900 on the army
and the navy, in addition to $l61
600, 600 for pensions. Thus we
would expend in one year for
war, 1928. 600. COO. or about 81
per cent of our total income.
rs it any wonder that we are
facin5 a deficit of $500, 900, 600!

army and naval officers are not
satisfied. They still insist that
we are without an adequate al my

year in order to secure adequate
preparedness.

OBJECT OF CONTEST


The Better Babies Contest is a
popular, yet scientific movement
to insure better babies and bet
ter race. 1t consists of entering
examining and awarding prizes to
children of five years or less on
exactly the same basic principles
that are applied to live stock
shows. Mere beauty does not
count. Physical and mental de-
velopment only are considered.
The Better Babies Contest insur-
es a better race of Americans,
because it teaches parents how to
improve the physical condition of
children already born and to pro-
tect those yet unborn. 1t arous-
es interest in the conservation of
child life and health in all forms
of child welfare. 1t forges a
connecting link between parents
and teachers, between the home
and the scientific study of child
life. It promotes civic interest
in children of the community.
