Farm Deposits Instead Of Loans.

One trouble with us in the South is
that we think too much about a bank
as being a place to get money in,
instead of as a place to put money in;
and it would be better, as Doctor But
Ter recently suggested, if we said that
1t is "a rural banking system that
we need rather than a rural credit
system-for it must embody the de-
posit and saving feature as well as the
credit and borrowing feature.-From

A shed TO hold farm Implements
may not look as important as some
Of the other buildings, but Il is neces-
sary to prevent waste The depreci-
alton in the value of farm imple-
ments and machinery is about 10 per
cent per year under good care. When
the machines are left TO weather and
rust in the rain and wind the loss
Is simply ruinous. More machinery is
required on farms than formerly, and
It Is not a question whether a farmer
can afford a machine shed or not; the
only problem is to find out how to
build 1t and how large to build it,

and tight enough to keep out the wind

width is all right for any length shed

THE COLONEL LOVES PEACE

Colonel Roosevelt is rather busily engaged in attacking President Will sons Mexican policy When he ad- dressed his home towners at Oyster Bay on the glorious Fourth the Colonel waxed eloquent, flung tirade of abuse at the President, and cracked a few jokes over what he called the peaceful condition of Mexico. If what has happened in the last three years in Mexico is called peace" said the Colonel "I should prefer war as more peaceful" The Colonel also coined a phrase to suit the situation.
 Colonel Roosevelt is 8 humorist Otherwise he would not be SO gay upon an occasion such as this for the condition in Mexico today, were he to ponder in sober thought, would recall to him the things that hap pened in Mexico during the Roosevelt administration. That has been some years ago, however, and the Colonel may have forgotten. He may not re- 1HenUef tHat MeAlCO WaS Just dS peaceful from 1904 to 1908 as it has been from 1912 to 1916. Yet, if he fails to recall those episodes, how can he forget such recent happenings along the border and in Mexico as those which took place between 1908 and 1912,-the Taft administration? :? Probably it is not so much forgetful- ness as it is wish to place all the blame on the man who inherited others sins. Wilson is merely suffer- ing from Roosevelt's mistakes, The fighting Rough Rider had a chance to "clean up' Mexico and failed So did Taft.

Washington, July 6.--While so much is being said and written upon the subject of Americanism, the Ma tional Geographic society comes for ward with some figures concerning our foreign population and their sons and daughters that are partiC ularly timely and auth oritative. They bring out some striking facts concerning the makeup of our national body po- litio. The society's bulletin on the subject is as follows:
 Tt is a fact not generally recog- nized that the foreign population of the United States together with sons and daughters of parents one or both of whom are or were of foreign birth constitutes @ third of the entire pop ulation of the country.
 Tn number of states the people of foreign birth or foreign or mixed parentage exceed in numbers those of native birth and parentage. This condition obtains in Massachusetts, where the foreign element by birth or percentage is twice as great as the element of unmixed native lineage. That state had, in 1910, 1,1O3,0 900 peo- pie both of whose parents were born WiIlllll CllG OIllISu oldtGS, otS SOlll- pared with 2,221,O0 who were either born abroad themselves, or had one or both parents born abroad.
 ''The same condition prevails in Rhode Island. That state has a pop ulation of 159,S21 of native ancestry against 372,671 of foreign birth or lineage.
 Tn Connecticut we find a popula- tion of native ancestry aggregating 395,000, and of foreign birth or an cestry aggregating 703,00
 Tn New York there is a popula- tlon of native ancestry reaching @ to- tai of 3,23O.O0O. Against this there is population of foreign birth or foreign or mixed ancestry amounting to 5,715,00O.
 The balance in favor of the pop ulat1on of foreign birth or foreign ancestry, in whole or in part, in New Jersey is 425,000 the population of native ancestry amounting to 1,010,- 900 as against 1,435,000 in the case of the foreign element.
 Illinois also falls in the list of states where the population of full '! native stock is smaller than that of foreign birth or foreign or partly for e1gn ancestry. It's population of na-

count the prosperity of the future has
 been showed aside with the going of the great fluctuations prevalent some time ago in the stock market. These are the fortunate signs that point to a bigger and brighter future
 Aside from the factories such as we have here in New Britain, those that are manufacturing the so called luXuries of life are witnessing better times than ever before experienced. Particularly noticeable in this group are the manufacturers of automobiles. These are doing an enormous busi- ness. And the surprising thing about
 the whole situation is that the output
 of the automobile industry is intended not so much for foreign consumption as for home demand. The purchases
 from abroad have fallen off within the last three months, while the domestic demands have grown by leaps and bounds. Rubber factories are also
 rated high on the list of those pros pering.
 Judging from the Federal reserve
 boards account of the situation the future is more than promising. Nor is the prosperity of the nation confined to any one class of people or indus tries. Everybody is in on the boom. A steady increase in orders is reported in every known sphere. The United States government itself has certain ly given helping hand because of it's many orders for various things and in this wide sweep of fortune the entire nation has profited It is good to know that there is a firm foundation under what was supposed to be a fIy-by-night prosperity.

Admiral Peary Withdraws.
Providence JournaI.)

Rear Admiral Peary has withdrawn his candidacy for the United States senate in Maine. He gives as his req sons his lack of political skill and ex- perience and his unwillingness to op- pose personal friends
 The first of these reasons is cer- talnly enough. Admiral Peary has skill in abundance for the sort of tasks to which he has devoted himself. and his eXperience-in exploration-has been unique. But his knowledge of politics and public affairs hardly war rants an ambition on his part to be- come a senator.
 The admiral explains that he per- mitted the use of his name because he thought he might be able to help the cause of preparedness along. But there are others who can do that as we'll as he.
 There was something incongruous in the Peary candidacy from the start, and the admiral is to be congratulated on his decision to withdraw. He would probably have found the realm of politics as chilly at the Great White Wilderness of the North and his fame Which is now secure, could not have been augmented by congressional ca- reer.

crown came into effect in 1912, when 8 new issue of hats, or heavier grade felt was adopted. Great Britain's colonials, after using the slouch hat in rainy, tropical countries, found that the center crease acted to hold the water, so they changed it to peak. Under this peaked form General Sir Baden-Powell adopted it for the Boy Scouts. Long before this the Mexi- cans and plainsmen had found out the same thing, so in 1912, despite the rather unmilitary form, the present Montana peak" form of hat was issued in the army.
 The change from the slouch, or center crease to the peak brought forth many objections from the army. 1t is probably one of the most un- popular changes in uniform regula- tions ever made for the slouoh hat was typical of U. s. A., and nothing else. However, it was soon proven that the other shape was much more service a ble.
 So there is the campaign hat MT. Gardiner

AVERTING A STRIKE.

Nasty action on the part of any one
 man, or any group of men, that might
 affect any large majority is a thing to be deplored. There is a tendency among some employees of the Pennsyl- vania railroad to go out on strike been estimated at eighteen per cent. of
 the total number employed by this great railroad system. Those who have not aligned themselves with the disgruntled faction are being boiled for a strike.
 Confronted by the possibility of what might easily become the greatest strike in the history of railroadlng in this country, the Pennsylvania has
 made an appeal to it's employees to view the situation in a safe and sane light. It points out that the men are without any grievance that cannot be
 settled by the plan of arbitration pro- posed by this and other railroad sys- tems. By placing posters in cOnspicu-
 ous places, in waiting rooms, ticket offices, and yard houses, where en- ployes might read and take heed the
 railroad has set forth it's side of the dispute in gracious terms. It recom- l mends a holding off of the strike trouble because, Such a course will preserve to each one of you unbroken earning power; to the public uninter- l rupted service, and to the railroad ] continuance of the earnings by which alone it can perform it's public duties."
 There has seldom been an instance where a great corporation went at the kernel of discord in such straightforward manner, appealing to and not threatening the men who con- template action that may be disas trous to them, to the public and to the corporation. Because of this, the Pennsylvania railroad will receive great consideration at the hands of it's l employees When men are called upon l to reason with those upon whom they depend they are not likely to do any l thing to bring about unjust ends. This 1 is the sensible method. Men who feel

CONNECTICUT CO.,, ATTENTION. Passenger Complains of Unbecoming Conduct on Part of Conductor
 on Hartford Trolley.

To the Editor of the Herad:
 Therc is an old saying to the effect that the more one sees of prigs the more one appreciates gentlemen. Evi- dently there is one conductor work ing for the Connecticut company who never heard of this sentiment. Yes- terday morning this conductor was very much in evidence on the Hart ford trolley that leaves New Britain Center at 1O:O7.
 During the ordinary course of events the great majority of women shoppers from this city who go to Hartford catch the trolley car that leaves the Center here at the afore- mentioned hour. This for two rea- sons: First, this car arrives in Hart ford at a seasonable hour; secondly it is usually in charge of a very courteous conductor, one who realizes the duties of a conductor On the morning in question, however, this man was absent from his route and another person was in his place. The change was a very disagreeable one for all who took that trolley. To begin with, the substitute conductor acted more like a brute than a man.
 The first offense of this snobbish d lady asked him to adjust one of the shades on the car. She had at tempted the task and had failed He promptly informed her that if she was unable to succeed he surely could do no better. And he made no attempt to remedy conditions. Then he started in on a trade of abuse that lasted from Maple Hill to Hartford. There was scarcely a lady on the car who missed his wild operations. Had there been a few young men on board I am sure this surly conductor would have been hurled peremptorily off the car and into the ditch which, all in all, would be a very just reward for him. He seems to have missed his calling. Instead of gracing the run ming board of street car this man should be dancing around the inner confines of a prize-ring. He Is pugilist by nature.
 call this to your attention because I know that if you deem it worthy to print it will have some bearing on the case and may cause the Connec- ticut company to take action in the premises The New Haven railroad has placed emphasis on the rule of courtesy set up for it's employees. The Connecticut company might follow suit. Men who cater to the public, as do conductors have no right to vent their personal spite on passengers who pay their good money to ride on public conveyances.
 Very sincerely,
 ONE WHO WAS THERE.

tive lineage amounts to 2,6o0,000. Against this there is q population wholly or partly foreign by birth and ancestry of 2,925,000, a difference ot 325,00O
 Michigan also falls in this class, with 1.560,O00 wholly or partly of for eisn birth and ancestry as compared with 1,224,000 of pure native lineage
 Minnesota has nearly three times as many people born abroad, or with one or both parents of foreign birthr as she has of sons and daughters of native stock. Her population Of tor- eigners and their children totals 1,-' 4S8,000 as compared with 575,OO Tor the native element.
 Montana has 199,000 people of foreign birth and foreign or mixed ancestry as against 62,000 of natlve ancestry. Wyoming gets into the same column by about the same pro- portion. The state of Washington has 390,000 more of the foreign than of the native element, while Callfor- nia practically breaks even.
 Taking the statistics of the male population twenty-one years of age and upward for the entire country, Ii is found that only 48.9 per cent. of them are of straight, white native an- cestry. The negro element adds 9l per cent. to this, and the remainder 41.S per cent, is represented by the men of foreign birth or the sons of foreign or mixed parentage.
 Taking the different states we find some striking statistics. In the proportion of foreign birth or foreign or mixed ancestry to native, among the men of twenty one years and up- ward, North Dakota takes first rank among the states with 79.9 per cent belonging to the former class. Mime. sota ranks next with 78 per cent, and Wisconsin third with TIT per cent Approximately twO-thirds of the men in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and Utah are sons or grandsons of foreign lands, Tn New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, South Dakota and Montana the pro- portion ranges from 61 per cent. to 57 per cent, while in Nebraska, Neva- da, Washington and California 1t is slightly more than half.
 "In Utah it falls to 4s.S per cent in Wyoming to 45.9 per cent, H Missouri to 29.7 per cent, in Kansas to 30.S per cent. and in Oregon to l 40.4 per cent"
