Be Fair with The Farm.

A farmer remarked the other
day that, in figuring up the re-.
suits of his business for, 1915, he
found if he allowed 6 per cent. on
his investment he would have
nothing for his time after all ex
penses were paid; if he allowed
himself $50 per month he would
have nothing for his Investment.
He finished by saying, "Why a
carpenter gets $500 a day and has
40 investment, except few tools. ]"
Now we do not wish to be under
stood as contending that the income
on the average farm is what it
should be, OF might be, but we
think it only fair to the farm to
call attention to an important item
which the farmer overlooked and
which the average farmer over
looks, and that is the home and
living which the family of six had
for the year. Altho 500 or 5000
per month seems a big sum to the
average farmer for months work,
yet he will find that the man who
receives it has paid it all out for
the things which this farmer forgot
even to mention, and is daily ap
preaching a time when he may
nave no salary or no home. While
we are rightfully asking for fair
play and a square deal, let us give
the same to the old arm-Pennsyl-
-vania Farmer.

Tuberculosis Death Rate Declines
Twenty-Five Per Cent.

While the latest report Of the
Bureau Of the Census shows that in
1914 tuberculosis caused over 1915
per cent. of all deaths in the regis
tration area of the United States,
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis points out in statement issued
today that the death-rate from this
disease is steadily decreasing, having
declined from 200.7 per 100000
population in 1904 to 1868 in 1914.
This would indicate, the Association
claims, that the anti-tuberculosis
movement organized in the last ten
years is having marked effect on the
mortality of tuberculosis, especially
since the death-rate from this
disease seems to be declining more
rapidly than the general death-rate
from all causes.
Commenting on this decrease in
the rate from tuberculosis, the
Bureau of the Census says: "As a
result of more general understand
ing of the laws of health, the inn
portance of fresh air, etc., due in
part, no doubt, to the efforts of the
various societies for the prevention
of tuberculosis, there has been a
most marked and gratifying decrease
during recent years in the mortality
from this source of civilization. In
only decade-from 1901 to 1914
the death-rate from tuberculosis in
all it's forms fell from 20O.7 to 1868
per 100000, the decline being con-
tinous from year to year. This is
a drop of more than rs per cent. :"
AS an indication Of the growth
of the campaign against tubercu-
losis, The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis shows that IN 1915, when
the campaign was definitely started,
there were in the United States only
thirty-nine anti-tuberculosis associa-
tions, lis sanatoria and hospitals,
twenty special clinics no open air
schools, and not more than 5000
people actively interested in the
prevention of this disease. At the
close of the year 1915 there were
over 1900 anti-tuberculosis associa-
tions, 600 sanatoria and hospitals,
$50 dispensaries, 500 open air
schools, and over 100000 people
actively interested in the prevention
of tuberculosis. Besides this, the
fundamental truths that tuberculosis
is a communicable, preventable and
durable disease have been carried
into almost every village and hamlet
and to millions Of men, women and
children in great variety of ways.
The Maryland Association for the
Prevention and Relief of Tubercu-
losis, 1901 N. Charles St., Baltimore,
or The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of Tubercu-
losis, los East 22nd Street, New
York City, will gladly send literature
on tuberculosis to those who wish
it.

RURAL CREDIT.
Chairman OF Tri-State Conference
niccucSns SuI,iAct


Discusses Subject.
VIM. H. Smouse, chairman of the
Tri-State Rural Credit conference of
Pennsylvania, Maryland and West
Virginia farmers 20 secure an
effective investigation of personal
rural credit bills from Congress
makes this statement
"All classes of European farmers
have benefited by their personal
rural credit systems. Some would
have US believe those systems were
designed only to meet the needs of
the poorest classes of tenant farm
ers. 1t has done more to prevent
tenant farming by making the till
ing of the soil profitable business
than, anything else; but it has also
benefited all classes.
ssWe farmers must cooperate
more if we hope to make our BUSH
ness a successful one, and we need
cooperation in credit more than
anything else. The savings banks
of Massachusetts have $917, 439,-
1888 deposits on which their wage
earners realize but 2 " per cent in
terest. Show them a better and
more liquid security than is behind
those deposits and the farmers could
get some of that cheap money. The
system must be enacted by the Fed
eral government, because the wage
Garner of New England cannot afford
to investigate the responsibility of
the Individual farmer. of Allegany
county, Md, when he has $50 to
| invest. He must look to the system,
one, enacted by government in
which he has representation in the
legislative body. The farmer must
have the very broadcast market for
the sale of his credit, and that can
only come through the Federal
| Government.
"The, 63rd Congress had two rural
credit bodies operating during the
sessions and created two more to
investigate during the vacation be-
| tween the close of the 63rd and
/ COuV6uluS Oh Iu0 O4tu, anu uOt OAO
of them reported personal rural
credit bill One of those bodies
was sent to Europe and reported
that personal credit could "best be
enacted by the various State legis-
Iatures." Right in the face of that
adverse report all the Congressional
members of that body were placed
on the bodies to investigate the
question during vacation, and ten
months later when they again re-
ported to Congress they had nothing
to say on personal credit and asked
for four months additional time
which the House Of Representatives
refused to grant. The 63rd Congress
refused to pass the Sheppard Cand-
ler- Helgesen resolutions
providing for an effective investi-
cation of personal rural credit bills
Give US a commission as provided
by those resolutions and we will
soon have personal rural credit
in this country"

NOVEL BATTLE.

! A dispatch from Millville, N. j.,
tells of battle between a skunk and
q snake. We had thought that we
had observed the most romantic fight
In all the world one time in Porto
Rico between a lizard and scorpion,
but this one, between large and
lusty polecat and a six-foot snake
eclipses utterly the modest encoun-
ter we witnessed. For a half hour
that battle ragged, until at last the
skunk managed to fasten its teeth in
the back of the snake, and that
closed the reptiles career. Bravo,
for the skunk, everybody will say,
but the hunters, who watched the
conflict, proceeded to kill the skunk,

tiful and courageous little brute that
