uBNCOED ALL THE TIlGE. WHO9
WHY, THE FARMER.
(By G. b. Kegley, in Agricultural
Grange News.)

Nby y. y. kegley, In Agricultural
Orange News.)
Congress h working overtime now
trying % convince the farmer that
they really want to pass . rural
credit bill that would be Of some real
benent to the toiling producers OF the
nation.
You via recall that when We were
making the fight for parcel post John
Wanamaker, when he was postmaster
general and In . position to know
what he was talking about, said:
There are lust three reasons why we
do not at this congress get . parcel
post bill. the Adams Express COM
pany. the Wells Fargo Express COM
pany. and the American Express COM
pany."
It took twelve years after that to
get the farmers wakened up to a
realization that If we were ever to
have real and workable parcel post
we must get into 1t. Within two
years from the time the awakening
came congress passed the present law.
For four years the United States
has been stirred up over rural cred
its. The states sent commissions of
lawyers and bankers abroad to study
and report back q workable ~ rural
credit plan. Congress sent another
like commission abroad for the same
