TRADE REVIVAL
EXPECTED SOON
Express Company Head Has
Optimistic View of
Business.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-A striking
indication OF the rapidity with
which European and Asiatic coun-
tries are recovering commercially
Is FURNISHED in the announcement
made by First Vice President F. p.
Small, of the American Express
Company, who has just returned
from a seven months trip around
the world. OF the opening of new
offices by his company in Athens,
Plraeus, Constantinople. Calcutta
and Tientsin.
There is a general feeling OF op-
timism in all the countries ] Wis
sited. and everyone seems hopeful
and eXpectant of a revival In for
eign trade in the very near future"
said Mr.. Small.
The situation throughout the
Orient. Mr.. Small continued, has a
tendency to buoy up hope OF early
improvement in the export and i'm
port traffic. Due to the deprecia-
tion of their silver money. Import
ers and merchants generally who
are engaged in foreign trade. and
particularly those who are in coun-
tries which are far distant from
the great centers of activity. have
felt the business depression to o
greater extent than those similarly
engaged in America and England.
In some localities and in a few
industries. stocks of American prod
ucts were dumped upon the mar
ket in the Far East at a time when
America commenced to feel the de-
preston, and at time when the
Far East could III afford to take
them. As result OF this situa-
tion imports remain unsold and in
warehouses. and with the buying
power in other countries nearly al
| a standstill. a considerable stock OF
commodities are on hand awaiting
export demand.

FARMERS CREDIT

AID RURAL CREDITS

L. T. McFadden, chairman OF the
House Banking and Currency Com
mfftee, yesterday appointed a sub
committee to conduct hearings on
bills for credit for agricultural pro-
duction. The subcommittee con-
sists of Representatives Clarence
MacGreEor, Of New York. chairman:
James w. Dunbar. of Indiana, and
Eugene Black. Of Texas.
Chairman MacGregor announced
hearings would begin August IL,
when the National Society Of Pure
Bred Livestock Associations will be
called, as they are urging an i'm
mediate hearing. But owing to the
probable early recess of Congress
further Investigations will be post
poned until October, when the
farmers organizations. bankers. in
surance and other interests will be
given an opportunity to be heard
McFadden Bill Up.
The only bill introduced in the
House on this subject Is the rural
credit and multiple insurance bill
of Chairman McFadden. The enact
ing clause of that bill declares its
purposes are "to STANDARDIZED paper
for agricultural production. to es-
tablish discount markets for such
paper" and for other purposes. The
bill creates two corporations, a
rural credit society and multiple in
surance league.
II is proposed tn induce one of
the big life insurance companies TO
accept this multiple insurance char
ter in lieu Of its State charter.
This charter is broad and liberal
and permits the league to do every
class of insurance. as has been
done for centuries by some British
companies.
Double Purpose.
The insurance league is to serve
two purposes, first to act as a use
full agency in standardizinG the
paper created by the rural credit
society. This is analogous TO the
British acceptance houses" which
have become such potent factors IN
standardizinS the bill Of exchange
in that country. Those houses grew
out OF the importing merchant firms
who originally accepted bills in the
course Of their importing business,
= no meFCndnIS OF second rate CIeull
found that. by paying a small COM
mission to the acceptance house for
a more exalted name than their
own. their paper would command
the lowest discount rate on the
open market.
The big life Insurance company
could perform a similar service tc
our, farm credit system. for Il stand,
highest among our credit institu-
tions and enjoys to a high degree
the confidence for stability of the
investors in our financial and In
dustrial centers, the very class the
farmer needs the confidence Of. But
the insurance league will also fur
nish cheap and sound multiple in
surance to the members Of th-
credit society. so as to enable the
tenant farmer to furnish as good
security as a basis for credit as
the richest farmer, in consequence
the actual tiller of the soil would
command the lowest discount rate
for his productive credit paper.

Editorials For
Women Folks

You saw John the other day
the son of hat friend of yours.
John had turned out so we'll. His
honesty and fneness was apparent
IN the very swing of his shoulders.
How proud o could have been
of him, you thought. And then YOU
wondered why you had been so un-
1ortunate-why your son, the lad
you had loved so much and given
so much of your heart and life to-,
had turned out as he had.
He wasn't just as square as he
might be, he did things you had
10 be ashamed to have your friends
know, he wasn't even thouhgtful
of you.
You wondered where the trouble
had been, because you had tried
so hard to impress on him the diff
terence between right and wrong.
And then n night, after the
mouse was quiet and you waited in
the darkness for sleep to come, YOU
went back over the thing and at a
certain day. way back in the be-
ginning, your thought stopped.
1t had been the day that John
and your W little Tom played
hooky from school. You knew all
about it before Tom came home
tnat day, because his teacher had
been there and told Johns mother.
So you waited for him at the door
and-yes, you had a stick in your
hand.
And you remembered you
brought his happy struggling up the
path to an abrupt end in a whipping
and sent him to bed, alone, and
without his supper.
The next day Johns mother told
you she hed given John a fine sup
per, let him have an extra piece of
cake, tucked him in bed, kissed him
good night and THEREAFTER the
lights were turned out he called her
back and told her the whole story
and cried in her arms.
There, you realized, was the diff
ference!
You had encouraged cruelty, sui
lenness and hatred in your little son
before he was old enough to have
motives-he was just all love, good
nature and a harmless sort of mis-
chief then.
While Johns mother had brought
cut the goodness that was in him
with the goodness that was in her
self.
The difference between good and
bad men, sometimes is merely the
difference in mothers.
