Florence, Dec. 2S.--The body Of

himself and the girl on the Darling

Indifferent to him, and after visit
to her home on Christmas night, he
wrote letter, which was found seal
ed in his hand to-day, addressed to
the girl. telling her Of his intended
suicide. 1t does not appear that he
had first intended suicide, but that it
grew on him as he wrote. lie sent
word to the girl the next day to meet
him at the usual trysting place,

company. and when she did go she
saw him going down the road towards
Florence and returned home and SO
reported t. her mother. The next
afternoon she and some of her friends
were walking on the road, and it was
suggested in jest that they see if he
was still keeping his tryst. They
found the dead body Of the boy with
the letter in his hand and the pistol
by his side.
Coroner J. l.. Gunn held an inquest
last night and the jury rendered
verdict in accordance with the above
facts.
The body was sent to his parents
home at Parmalec, y. c., for burial.
In the letter he spoke very affec-

said that he was disheartened be-
cause the girl would not promise to
marry him, and If he could not have
her he did not want anything in life.

RUSSIANS THINK GERMANY
Wants to Begin War and End 1t at
Will,

Petrograd, Dec. 27.--In the course
Of an order issued to all the units of
the Russian army, dated December
25, the Emperor, in a brief review
showing the inequalities in the tech
meal resources Of warfare as between
the allies and the central powers are
being gradually removed, with the re-
suit that the enemy strength is ap-
parently waning, while that Of Rus
sia and her allies is constantly grow
ing, proceeds to say:
"Germany Is feeling that her COM
plcte defeat is near, and near also is
the hour OF retribution for all her
wrong-doings and violations Of the
moral law. AS In the time Of her
strength she declared war, so now,
feeling her weakness, she suddenly
offers to enter upon peace negotia-
tiOns, desiring to complete such ne
gotiations before her military talent
is exhausted.
AT the same time she is creating
false impression about the strength
of her armies by utilizing her tempo
rary success over the Roumanians,
who lack experience in the conduct Of
modern warfare"
Arguing that the allies are enti-
tied to choose a favorable hour for
peace negotiations. just as Germany
chose a favorable hour for declaring
war, the order says:
This time has not yet lived. The
enemy has not been driven out Of the
provinces he has occupied. Russia S
attainment Of the tasks created by
the war--regarding Constantinople
and the Dardanelles as we'll as the
creation OF a free Poland from all
three Of her now incomplete tribal
districts-has not yet been guaran-
teed. To conclude peace at this mo-
ment would mean failure to utilize
the fruits Of untold trials Of the he
roic Russian troops and fleet. These
trials and the still more sacred mem
ory of those noble sons of Russia
who have fallen on the battlefield do
not permit OF the thought of peace
until final victory over our enemies.
Who dares to think that he who
brought about war shall have it in his
power to conclude the war at any
time he likes?"

I. BUY FERTILIZEIsS EARLY +.
!. i. i. i. !. !. i. X !. !. !. !. I. y.
Progressive Farmer. }

Those who have fertilizers to buy
can make no mistake in buying early.
There seems no probability that there
will be any changes in general busi-
ness, or iii the fertilizer business in
particular, which will make prices
more favorable to the purchasers OF
commercial fertilizers between now
and planting time next spring. The
activity in all lines of business makes
the problem Of transportation, the Sc
qucntly the delivery OF fertilizers, an
increasingly difficult matter to guar
antee.
Those who delay the securing OF
iority wait to the last minute to buy,
as is usually the case, are likely to
find the difficulty Of obtaining what
they want greatly increased, the
prices advanced and possibly they
may fail entirely to get all they want
III time to meet their needs.
Those who pay cash should be able
to pay early as well as late, and those
who buy OH credit will probably be
able to get credit early with less diff
!iculty than at planting time. At least,
there seems no good reason why the
average buyer OF fertilizers should
not make arrangements early for the
delivery OF such fertilizers as he
needs at the time he wishes them
delivered.
Because the manufacturers always
say, "buy early the average man is
apt to conclude that it Is to his in
terest to buy late, but this is case
where the sellers and buyers inter-
ests are alike, and this by the way is
really not as rare an occurrence as
most people think. Our only inter-
est in the matter is that the farmer
gets what he wants when he wants it
ard on the best terms fair to all.
We believe the man who buys or ar
ranges for his fertilizers early is the
man who most frequently realizes
these objects.

Joint Liability Of borrowers.
Progressive Farmer. }

The new rural credits law pro-
vides that every borrower through 4
local farm loan association shall take
stock therein to the amount Of 5 per
cent Of the face of his loan and that
double the value of this stock shall
be the extent OF the borrowers liza
bility in case Of default by other
members OF the association.
This means that if Jones borrows
S!,000,' he must take stock to the
value Of $50; and if one of his fell
low-borrowers fails in his payments,
Jones may be subject to an assess
mcnt Of not more than double the
value of his stock, or 500, to help
make good the amount, if any, re-
naming due after the fellow borrow
cr's place has been sold under fore
closure.
Now since the amount loaned a
farmer is not to exceed 80 per cent OF
the appraised value OF his land, if ap-
praisals are conservatively made. We
doubt if there is more than one
chance in thousand for any member
OF an association to have to pay any
thing because of another members
failure. Certainly the contingency is
so remote that no farmer ought to
hesitate a minute, if he needs the
money. at joining local farm loan
