Wants His Right, Not a Favor.

After an exhaustive study Of the
needs of the country and after an
other exhaustive study of the credit
system Of European countries, con-
gress decided to adequately finance
agriculture as a great underlying in
dustry essential to the life of the
nation. Congress did not contem-
plate any petty remedies. 1t did not
contemplate charity for the small
farmers. 1t did not contemplate spe-
clal privilege for the big farmers. But
congress did contemplate establishing
a practical system of rural credits by
which the farmer would be enabled to
secure as right-not as a favor-ade'
quate funds at reasonable rates. And
congress did this, assuming that the
general welfare demanded that we
look to the future and make provision
for a continued food supply for the
nation.

est and commission charges. Agri-
culture was rapidly deteriorating,
the number of farmers engaged In
tlling the soil was decreasing, the
number of acres actually under cul-
tivation was decreasing, the out,
put per acre was actually decreas-I
ing and the food supply of the nation
was decreasing, as was also our con-
tribution to the worlds food supply.

How the Blind Play Chess.

chess game with blind man is
exactly the same as chess game
with any one else. There are some
excellent chess players among the
blind. The board has a round hole In
the middle OF each square and each
piece has a peg on the bottom which
sets In one OF these holes This keeps
the pieces in place SO that they are
not easily disturbed by cropping
hand. The white set Of chessmen each
has little point on top. while the
black pieces are round on top. This
makes II easy for the blind man to
tell which are his pieces and which
are his opponents. He passes his
hand lightly over the board and "sees"

Checkers are played In much the
aame way. The black squares on the
BOARD are followed out. The white
checkers are round and the black ones
are square.

PROTECTION OF BADGER
URGED BY RANCHER
E. N. Creever Claims Animal
Best Friend in Keeping
Down Sagerats.

". N. Greever, who for years has
lived on a mountain place TO the
north OF Burns, was IN town this
week making proof on his additional
homestead, In conversation with a
representative OF this paper and a
friend In which the subject OF pests
was under discussion, Mr.. Greever
urged the protection OF the badger
not essentially by law but by com.
mon consent. as he stated the badger
was one OF his best friends In the way
OF keeping down the sage rats. Mr.
Greever lives In the foothills where
the sage rats are worse than In the
valley. He has observed tho work
OF the badger and knows whereof he
speaks.
At the time of this conversation the
writer was under the Impression that
ian aud that so long as his fur was of
value the animals would be hunted
and trapped. ttff'I'ot
Later II has been found that the
badger fur is not 80 attractive and
does not command "a very hieh price
