WEISER MAN EXPLAINS
FARM CREDITS
Speaks Before the Commercial
Club on Benefits of Weiser
System

At the request of the Emmett Com
rnercial Club, L. l. Purcell, editor OF
the Weiser Signal, explained in a
clear and thorough manner the work
inqs of what is known as the Weiser
system of farm credits at an open
meeting of the club Friday evening.
The club room was filled, quite num-
ber of farmers being present in addi-
ton to the club members, and he was
given the closest attention.
Mr.. Purcell at the outset stated
that the Weiser credit system grew
out of an urgent need to assist the dry
land farmer and homesteader in
Washington county to secure the
means to develop their farms and
take care of their crops at a reason
able rate of interest, without being
driven to mortgage his soul and
body" in order to do so. Through the
co-operation of the Weiser merchants
the farm credit system was evolved.
The Index sometime ago printed an
article written by Mr.. Purcell ex-
plaining the system. 1t has been so
successful as to attract the attention
of government officials and has been
highly endorsed and recommended by
them, and the notes given by the lor-
rowers of money are accepted as Sc
curity for loans by the federal reserve
banks.
The system was put into effect July
l of last year. Fifty thousand dollars
was loaned in amounts ranging from
$500 to $4,000 on six months time,
and every borrower, except two. has
paid bach mis- obligation, and those
two deferred loans are gilt edge. The
first season ended without IN loss
of a cent. Not only has it resulted in
great benefit to the farmers who made
use of the system, but every business
man who was a member of the organ
ization is enthusiastic over the bel.e-
fits that he has received in trade and
in reducing the amount of credit on
his books. Merchants have been able
to reduce the prices of goods 10 per
cent to those farmers who have made |
use of credit checks, as they are con-
sidered the same as cash.
Mr.. Purcell stated that the results |
have been very satisfactory and high
ly beneficial to the business interests
of Weiser as well as to the farmers.
A meeting of merchants was called
for Tuesday evening to consider the
adoption of the same system here, but
owing to several other attractions of
a social and business nature only
few were present. Accordingly action
was deferred until later date.

RED FRONT GROCERY ENLARGES
QUARTERS.

Business necessities caused George
Fesenmaier of the Red Front Grocery to
decide that the best thing he could do
would be to secure larger quarters and
as the rooms vacated by the Fortschritt
were still vacant, he rented them of the
owner of the block, Jos. Dietz, and this
week is moving in. This will greatly
improve Mr.. Fesenmaier's location,
giving him ample space and full entrance
on both Center and Minnesota Streets,
and he should be able to fix up one of the
most attractive stores in town with the
space at his disposal. There is not a
better location in town, and MIR. Fesen-
maier is clever enough to realize this fact
and will make the most of it.

NEW MEMBER OF SCHOOL BOARD

Saturdays annual school meeting
of Independent School District No. l
was a rather tame affair, only 56 votes
being cast in all. There was surprise,
however, for the voters, when Prof.
Adolph REIN who had been on the
school board for the past "a yaers de-
clined to be candidate. Before the
nominations were made Prof. REIN got
up and told the meeting that after due
consideration he had decided not to
have his name used. He said that if
being on the school-board was such a
fine thing, that it ought to be passed
around and if it was the opposite, he
certainly had had his share OF it. In
place of Prof. REIN H. L. Beecher was
nominated and when the votes were
counted the result was as follows: Her
man Held 81; H. L. Beecher So; AID. F.
Rein 4; W. B. McCue /. The Trea-
surer's report was read and it was voted
to hold the next annual meeting of the
school district on the Sd Saturday o.
July at the same place and at the same
hour. The board will meet on thu
first Saturday in August for the purpos'
of organizing.

The peacemaker usually means we'll
but he also usually makes a bungle of the
job he undertakes and, in vulgar par
Lance, 'gets it in the neck'. This is the
unpleasant situation in which the United
States finds itself with regard to the
Mexican trouble. We had a notion we
could smoothe over the difficulties in that
country and sent men and ships
down there to persuade our neighbor
and his wife to give over their wrangling
nhazer lack yard. The sound OF their
>sssssnute disturbed those of us living near
est and so we went to his house to re-
monstrate with him. He was in no
mood for interference and not the least
mite grateful for our well-meant efforts.
In fact, he looked on with approval when
some of his family stuck out their
tongues at us, and later started to chase
us home. And here we are, nursing a
very sore head because he wasn't just
careful where his blows landed during the
progress of the argument in which we
had taken an unlimited part. The worst
of it is nobody has any sympathy for the
peacemaker anyway, especially when he
mixes in a brawl where the disputants
are already irritated beyond all ability
to reason.

EASTERN STAR ENTERTAINED

The members of the Eastern Star
showed what women can do in the way
OF getting results when they start after
them. Really, what they accomplished was
quite wonderful, and it is to be doubted
whether body of men folks could have
accomplished the same result in so
little time and with so little red tape.
They chartered a special train to take
them to Hanska on an outing Sunday
at noon when they found Sunday morn
ing that roads were not fit an for auto
mobile trip. In less than five hours
after they found they could not go by
auto they had all arrangements made
for the special and were gayly on their
way to Hanska. Both the ladies and
the M. &. St. L. road are to be con-
graduated upon the accomplishment.
Rev. and Mrs. Norman whose home
is about a mile from Hanska had in
vited the Eastern Star members to their
home to spend the day and about sixty
had accepted the invitation. The
weather man thought it time to interfere
and sent the rain which made the roads
unsafe for the auto trip with the result
as related above. Word was telephoned
at few minutes to twelve to the various
members of the party to be at the M. &
St. l.. depot at 1915 and thirty-fve
were present when the bell rang for
the start. The M. & St. L. train which
stops over here Sundays was pressed
into service to act as the Eastern Star
Special. The ladies were met at the
station with several autos by their
hosts and after short drive found them
selves at the hospitable Norman home.
A splendid luncheon was all ready for
them and an exceedingly pleasant after
noon spent, followed by another bounti-
full meal before their return in the even
ing to their homes. Every one of
the visitors are hoping that the oppor-
tunity to repeat the visit will be given
them again for all had a most delight

It seems as tho the mistakes made
during the Spanish American War are
to be repeated in 1916 and that nothing
has been learned from the disastrous
experiences then made. The manu-
facturers and jobbers of food products
for the men care nothing for their health
and seem intent only on filling their
pockets. According to advices received
from the Mexican border one of the
Massachusetts companies desired a
change in their daily fare and pur-
chased canned fish presumably from
funds supplied them by their friends
and as result 40 of them were sent to
the hospital suffering from ptomaine
poisoning. Of these one or two are re-
ported to be in critical condition. How
long will the public stand idly by and
see their sons sacrificed on the altar of
greed?
