COULDN'T BREAK THE SOLID
IT. s.
SOUTH

The latest attempt to break the pol
itically solid South" was tried out in
Louisiana last week-and failed as US
ual.
A campaign on new lines was waS,
Cd in that State and the noise n bus
rlv were such that there were some
perfectly rational people who expected
anG predicted Democratic defeat. The
tmo issue which gave the fight prom,
inence beyond the borders of Louis
ana were sugar and Bull Moosery.
The sugar planters were affected to
in behalf of protection on their pro-
Guct, while the Republican voters were
asked to support q candidate for gov
ernor recommended by Mr.. Roosevelt,
one Of whose pet schemes in previous
years has been the Dustin OF the solid
south. The result of the election April:
18th moved how futile the attempt
was. The south is still solid and will
sc vote for Wilson in November.

SENATE WILL PASS RURAL
CREDITS BILL In NEAR FUTURE
Senator Simmons Discusses it Tersely.
0Verman Regards Most of the Pro-
visions as All Right.

Washington, April 24.-The Senate
has gone to work on the rural credits
bill, a piece of legislation which Presi-
dent Wilson INSISTS should be adopted
by tbs session of congress. There is
little doubt but that the measure will
be passed by the Senate within a short
time. now that work has begun.
Senator simmons Discusses 1t.
Senator Simmons was among the
number talking today while prelimi-
nary discussions were under way.
With regard to the interest to be
charged by private institutions he
said: | think it is possible to pro-
vide in this bill SO as to limit the rate
of interest that those private institu-
tons may charge and do it by increas
lLg the security for the bonds they
1lay issue. and then you would provide
a very strong SYSTEM
Gyerman Supports 1t, With Few FIX
ceptiOnS.
Senator Overman in commenting on
the proposed legislation said today;
4 think rural credits legislation should
be enacted as early as possible. l dc
rot like some features of the bill now
before the Senate, but most of the
provisions are all right. The farmer
must have better banking arrange
Laents. ! am glad the President has
this legislation on his program"
Senator Tillman Strong for Farmer.
'"The banks are so full of deposits"
said Senator Tillman. that there is no
where for them to lend their money at
a profit of five or six per cent by which
loans can be made on long time mort
cages on real estate.
Outline of the Plan.
The following is an outline of the
plan embodied in the bill introduced
By Senator Hollis of New Hampshire:
Loans are made to farmers by IL
or more Federal land banks. each Op-'
Grating in a separate district and haV-
ing a capital of not less than $500s00aa
If the full amount is not subscribed
from private sources, the government
subscrfbes for as much as may be
necessary to make up the required
Provision is made for returning the
government subscription after thet1aHds'
are firmly established. f% So
Admit Members Who Desire IA Borrow
In order to secure intimate touch
With the borrowers it 10 provided bAft
the land bank shall make loans to
farmers through local associations nf'
borrowers, called National Farm LO&h'
Associations. The associations do not
conduct a banking business. Their
operations are very simple. They ad-;
NIT members who desire to borrow
their directors and loan committees
pass on the value of the security and
the character of the borrower. Every
borrower takes stock in the Farm
loan Association to the amount Of five
Ger cent of the face of his loan. This
amount is subscribed by the ~associa-
ton to the stock of the land bank. thus
providing for a capital proDortionate

TOBACCO.

Recently the writer having seen
from the published bulletin issued by
the Department Of Commerce on to-
bacco grown by the nations Of Europe
at war, that Austro-Hungary raised
1873, 900, 600 lbs. Of tobacco, Germany
SO, 600, 600, France 49, 900, OOO, Italy %, :
600, 900, Belgium 100000, making
an aggregate Of nearly 400, 600, 600, or
practically as much tobacco as all the
state of Kentucky. And knowing that
these nations were at war, instantly
realized that the production must
necessarily be largely circumscribed,
both for lack of labor, and the neces-
sity of utilizing their limited area and
facilities, in order to produce the ne
cessaries Of life, and therefore in ord
.er to ascertain these facts, | made
request of Secretary Redfeld, of the
Department Of Commerce, to furnish
the detailed information on file in his
department, that would enable me to
give to the public, through the press,
the real facts; in order that the farm
ers and the trade generally might
avail themselves of the benefits that
would accrue to them. Ireceived the
most hearty support and cooperation
in my endeavors to get desired infor-
nation, and quote from the Secre-
tary's letter: 81 thank you for your
letter requesting information con-
corning the curtailment of tobacco pro
duction in certain foreign countries as
a resultof the war, | am referring
your communication to the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce of
this Department with instructions to
communicate with you at the earliest
practical date.
This promise has been faithfully kept,
and by the hearty and full co-opera-
ton OF both the Agriculture and State
Departments, even to the co-opera-
hon OF the Consul-Generals at Vienna
and Berlin in order to obtain data
hat had not hither to been ascertain
I'd. These inquiries brought forth
through the various departments to
ne the following important informa-
ion.

Evil In Excess Of Fat.

Excess Of fat affects the heart By
putting an extra burden upon it; it
augments the labor Of the muscles of
breathing. the diaphragm in particu-
lar; It interferes with the vital func-
lions OF the liver and other internal
organs. and by filling the intermuscu-
lar spaces it congresses the muscle
fbers, causing atrophy and degenera-
ton. This results in constant weak
ness, slow activity, lassitude, early
exhaustion.

questioning the good intentions of the

was presented at the state depart
ment Wednesday by Eliseo Arren-
dondo, the Mexican ambassador
designate. A translation of the vo-
luminous document, about 1900
words long, was laid before President
Wilson who at once began consider
ing how ii should be answered.
There is complete unanimity in the
belief that there will be no immedi-
date withdrawal of the Pershing ex-
petition. High officials said the de
facto government so far had utterly
failed to demonstrate its ability to
to protect the border against bandits
and expressed the opinion that the
troops would stay in Mexico until
this was done.

since Belgium is torn by war and its

straits for the necessities of life, that
what little remains to furnish necessi-
ties would leave but little prospects
for luxuries, such as tobacco.

REHABILITATION.

Beyond doubt, these warning coun-
tries will require quite a deal more of
American tobacco than in normal
times, and therefore in order TO OBJ
tain their requirements, they will
haye to look to America to supply
their needs.
II is therefore quite evident that the
farmers Of America who grow tobacco
have good reason to expect an unusu-
al heavy demand, to meet this added
needs of the trade.
