there at the side of the Old Mans
desk, his legs wide apart, his face
aglow, his hands on his hips, he
plunged into his tale.

But I could see that they were inter

talking to Snyder-he was telling me
about the time he climbed up and muf-
fed the chapel bell-that fellow
Flynn, of the Dowd Agency, came in.
Snyder excused himself, and talked to
him for-oh, half an hour, perhaps.
But that was all. He was back again

SEVEN REMEDIES FOR USURY
Plundering Of Poor Can Be Stopped by
Encouragement Of Habits Of
Saving and Economy.

As We see II, the remedies needed TO
stop the plundering OF the poor
through usury are these:
l. Habits OF thrift. economy and
saving must be encouraged. and
parents must teach these habits TO
their children by precept and exam
pie.
>. Farmers who need money 70 pur-
chase supplies must borrow it from
banks at legal rates OF interest in
stead OF paying ten times the legal
rate OF interest in the form OF time
prices"
3. Banks, whether state or national.
must be treated as public-serviCe cor
pOrations, which they are. and rigidly
regulated by law as other public-serv-
ice corporations are.
I. In every state stringent anti-usury
laws must be enacted and enforced.
;. The crop-lien must be repealed.
or where this cannot be done. the rate
Of advance which merchants may
charge on time prices" as compared
with cash prices must be strictly lin
tied to a rate not exceeding one per
cent a month.
5. The national government must es-
tablish a modern system OF rural cred
its in harmony with European models
What Europe has done for her farm
ers. America must do for hers"
:. To supplement the long-term land
credit system. We must work out
new system OF personal or shOrt-term
credits by encouraging and stimuIat-
ing credit unions. cooperative savings
and lean associations, Reiffeisen banks
and all other practicable agencies of
betterment.-The Progressive Farmer.

REDUCE ACREAGE OF COTTON
Strong Evidence That Boil Weevii Will
Return Next Year and Do Much
Damage TO the Crop.

Another reason why the cotton acre
age should be reduced next year is
that there are strong evidences that
the boil weevil will return in numbers
sufficient to destroy cotton that cannot
be given more than ordinary time and
attention. Therefore the farmer who
has big acreage has good reason to
see that the weevil will visit heavy
loss upon him. Another reSson is that
the cotton is threatened with a blight
which If it comes will also result in
heavy damage and a damage that
cannot be overcome just as is the case
with the weevil So certain are au-
thorities on cotton growing that these
two obstacles will stand in the way Of
a big cotton crop that warnings to that
effect are already being sent out and
are being published in the papers. A
small cotton acreage and general d.
versifCation is the best road.-COrsi-

PROTECTION FOR THE COTTON
Where Farmer Does Not Take Out In
surance He Should Store Staple
in WeII-SheItered Place.

Farmers who are holding cotton at
home are reminded OF the great loss
caused by bad weather. The fall has
been so free from wet weather that
cotton lying out so far has not been
damaged very much. but this ideal
weather cannot be expected to con
tinue indefinitely
An insurance agent suggested the
other day that where a cotton owner
will not take out insurance he ought
at least. in justice TO himself. to place
his cotton SO that It will be least ex-
posed TO sparks and other agencies
that start blaZes. He suggested that
If cotton bales are TO be left out OF
storage that they be placed on timber
OF some kind for protection from the
wet ground and far apart so that, IL
one bale catches afre. the blaze will
not spread TO the others. This sounds
like pretty good advice to us.-Laur-
