RESTRlCTiNG LOANS ON
UNEcoNoMlc FARMING

Bankers In many Of the rural sec.
tons OF the country are realizing al
never before that they cannot afford
to loan money for the conduct OF farm
ing enterprises where the odds are
against that enterprise ever becoming
success. The risk Is too great, and
what is more It Is doing the borrower
an injury to encourage him In an un-
warranted venture.
Some farmers may resent the IDEA
Of being questioned in regard to the
use they expect to make of borrowed
money. false idea OF their independ.
ence may lead them to feel that they
can do as they please and follow any
system OF farming they desire: that 1t
is nobody else's business whether that
system is economic or not.
Experiences in certain sections dur.
ing the past few years demonstrate
the folly Of such a position The
banker is loaning other peoples money
and he Is duty bound to safeguard
what has been entrusted to him.
Further. the law holds him response
BILE. With this obligation resting on
his shoulders he has a right to select
his customers. II he il convinced that
a one-crop system or any other par
ticular type OF farming is unsound and
is likely to be uneconomic he is doing
an injustice to the borrower as well
as the depositor to loan the farmer
the money.
Best results will accrue when both
the lender and the borrower recognize
that they are entering into partner.
ship and II the advantages and the
dangers are frankly and carefully dis.
cussed the possibilities OF success are
greatly enhanced.-Banker-F Farmer.

MARYLAND BETTING GOES
BEFORE COURT

Steps to put to a CONSTITUTIONS
test Maryland's race track laws
which permit parimutuel betting

nected to appear simultaneously IN
Federal District Court and Circuit
Court, directed by Wynn Gardiner
Washington Attorney, who has an
nounced plans to carry the case to
the United States Supreme Cour.
in the event of an adverse decision.
In Federal Court a petition is to
be presented asking for an inJunc-
ton to stop pari-mutuel betting.
The injunction suit, which Mr.. Gar
diner says is designed to test the
constitutionality of pari-mutuel pet
ting. also will seek to enJoln the
Maryland Racing Commission from
issuing licenses for pari-mutua'
betting.
Mr. Gardiner said his client In the
Injunction was non-resiuene -

A suit also is to be filed in Or
o,i+ Court of Prince Georges county
TO test the racing laws's con-
stitutionality.
The suits followed recent refusai
Of the racing commission to grant
betting privileges to the Tri-county
Fair Association, for which MT. Gar
diner is attorney, on a proposed
track at Laurel, Md. A suit te
compel the commission to grant the
privilege was dismissed after hear
ing in Prince Georges County Circuit
Court last month. At that time Mr.
Gardiner declared that if the com
mission Was upheld the constitu
tionality of the law would be attack
ed in both the Federal and State
Courts.
If present plans are carried out

Three, principal contentious re

made in the injunction suit, Mr.
Gardiner announced, as follows:
That they are "class legislation

on tracks which have had race meet
twice annually or three years prio-
to the passage of the Burke bill
in 1920.
That pari-mutual betting is in

A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERY
CHILD
From State Dept. Of Health.


From State Dept. of Health.
If the workers on the Tower of
Babel published printed reports,
they would probably9have gotten out
something like the slim little book
that was received recently at the
Bureau of Child Hygiene of the State.
Department of Health, from the
secretary of the Internal Union for
the Welfare of Children, at Geneva
Switzerland. Containing less than
seventy-five pages, not more than
six inches long, it is printed in the
languages or dialects of the thirty
nine countries identified with the
international Union.
AS its title-''The Declaration OF
Geneva" Indicates, the little book
contains copy of the declaration OF
the rights of each child to health
happiness and opportunity, as
formulated for the children of al
nations, by the leaders OF the~anter
national organizations interested ir
the care of the children. After hav
ing been duly approved by these as
sociations the declaration was SUB
mitted to the Assembly of the
League of Nations, at the Session OF
1924. BY unanimous resolution tnf
children's charter was approved anc
it's adoption was recommended to al
the countries in the League.
East and West, North and South
meet on the pages of the little
volume. The declaration appears
first in the French of the original
document and then in English anc
other languages of Europe and Asia
of the Near and the Far East, OF
North and South America.
The English translation may DC
summed up in one of the slogans
adopted for health day during the
coming celebration of American
Education Week-"A Square Deal
For Every Child The translation
in full follows:
"By the present Declaration OF
the Rights of the Child, commonly
known Z as the " Declaration OF
Geneva" men and women of all
nations, recognizing that Mankind
owes to the Child the best that II
has to give. declare and accept it as
their duty that, beyond and above all
considerations of race or creed:
/. THE CHILD must be given the
means requisite for its normal de
velopment, both materially and
spiritually.
III. THE CHILD that is hungry
must be fed; the child that is sick
must be nursed; the child that is
backward must be helped; the
delinquent child must be reclaimed
and the orphan and the wait must
be sheltered and succoured.
III. THE CHILD must be the first
to receive relief at times of distress.
w. THE CHILD must be put in
a position to earn livelihood and
must be protected against every
form of exploitation. ~
v. THE CHILD must be brought
up in the consciousness tn at its
talents must be devoted to the SER
vice of its fellow-men.
