Bill Has Double Purpose.

Mr.. Baldwin said:
The bill is intended to complete
the work of driving out the loan
sharks and securing workable law
for small loans to needy borrowers,
which was begun by the citizens
committee in December. 1909. with a
bill which provided for fiat rate
of per cent interest per month with
out other charges.
1t took more than three years of
earnest effort to secure the passage
of this law. which was drawn by
Justice Siddons, who was a member
of the original citizens committee.
In passing it, Congress took in the
pawnbrokers, who had not been in
cluded by the citizens committee. and
against the judgment of the citizens
committee. ii endeavored to help poor
borrowers by cutting the rate of in
terest allowed to per cent per
month. The citizens committee stated
plainly at the time that it would be
impossible to do business in such
small loans at that rate. but it urged
that the bill be signed by the Presi-
dent in order to do away with the
Ubiquitous loan shark concerns, of
which there were in the city nearly
fifty at the time when the citizens
committee was formed. In signing
the bill President Taft called atten-
ton to the fact that 1t might be nee
essary to raise the interest allowed
IL experience proved that l per cent per
month was too low.

NEW VEGETABLES SWEET
Is SUGAR SUBSTITUTE
Malt Sirup May be Made In Brew
ing Plants

Washington, D. C..-Manufacture of
malt sugar strip promises not only to
relieve the present shortage and pre-
vent a future scarcity of sugar, but
also to provide probable use for the
plants and machinery formerly used
in the brewing of beer. This is new
sweet which has been put on a COM
mercial basis at the psychological
moment, say the specialists Of the
Department Of Agriculture, by whom
Investigations of various substitutes
for sugar have been conducted.
In addition to being sweet, malt
sugar strip has delicious flavor some
what like that of honey, the chemists
say. This quality adds to its pala-
tableness and value as a substitute for
sugar.
Malt sugar strip has long been
known to chemists, but its produc-
ton on commercial basis has only
lately been undertaken with a pro-
spect Of success. Two factors have
tended to stimulate its manufacture.
The shortage of ordinary sugar has
developed market for substitutes,
and the decrease In the use OF grains
for brewing has Afforded plentiful
raw materials.
1t Is announced by investigators OF
the Department Of Agriculture that
with very little change brewing plants
may be devoted to the manufacture
OF this new sweet. Up to a certain
point the process for making malt
sugar strip is identical with that OF
brewing beer. Evaporating pans are
said to be the only equiqemnt which
breweries will required to become
malt sugar strip factories.
Malt sugar strip is already being
sold In large quantities to CONNER
cial bakeries and to manufacturers Of
soft drinks and candy. They use it
instead OF sugar. The Wholesale psQce
has recently been (uoted At from 4
to 3 cents pound by the abrrel.
The Department Of Agriculture \
points out that the strip can be ~
ID in cooking baking and homemade
confections, and even In sweetentng
coase. oetmesl and deserts.

Then we went back to the hotel
and talked until supper time. After
supper we helped dry dishes and a.
bout eight o'clock we left for the
school building. The Debaters sat
at two of the teachers desks. The
Circle Debaters looked just fine, with

Out in Article.
Bozeman, Montana, Nov 1.-THE
question of the proper size Of the po-
tato seed piece for planting is still
professor in a recent statement. RE
cent experiments have shown thai any
increase in yield following $ ant
ing Of large seed pieces may bt tfri-
buted almost entirely to the cores
ponding increase in the number OF
a matter for personal choice, says Pro.
o. B. Whipple, horiculturist at the
Montana State college.
Larger seed produce hills of four,
FIVE or even more STEMS" says the
plants or stems produced in the hill
Such hills yield greater number OF
tubers than hills from small seed
pieces which develop only one or two
STEMS"
Yet" Prof. Whipple goes on to say,
"if large seed pieces are planted too
close together, we get too many culls.
If they are planted further apart there
is still tendency to produce crop
In which there is lack of uniformity
in the size OF the tubers. In tests
just completed it was found that seed
pieces weighing as little as one-third
Of an ounce we're perfectly satisfact-
DRY. Such seed pieces planted twelve
inches apart gave yields running rs
high as 10000 pounds of marketable
tubers per acre. The tubers were
also very uniform in size."
