With practice, they can make four or five shillings per day. Very often they have been peeling since childhood, daughters succeeding mothers. It is not a profession you can learn in one lesson, for the onion "juices" I are of no use for pickling. The onions i . are always peeled in water. This is not to save the eyes of the peeler, but Is done to keep the onion white. Bertillonized Art.

"There is no business so riddled i with faking as the art business, espe cially the oil painting branch of it. Hencfe a new movement in Paris, the world's art center, is of interest. This is the Bertillonizing of all future paint ings. The artist not merely signs his paintings, but, if he adopts this new movement, he thumbprints them as weli.

WANTED TO KNOW The Truth About Grape-Nuts Food. It doesn't matter so much what you hear about a thing, it's what you know that counts. And correct knowledge is most likely to come from personal experience. "About a year ago," writes a N. Y. man, "I was bothered by indigestion, especially during the forenoon. I tried several remedies without any perma nent improvement. "My breakfast usually consisted of oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee and some fruit. "Hearing so mucti about lirape-ivuts, I concluded to give it a trial and find out if all I had heard of it was true. "So I began with Grape-Nuts and cream, soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup of Postum and some fruit. Before the end of the first week I was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much relieved. "By the end of the second week all traces of indigestion had disappeared and I was in first rate health once more. Before beginning this course of diet, I never had any appetite for lunch, but now I can enjoy the meal at noon time." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

"We have actually farmed successfully for years, have studied farming in agri cultural colleges. We think we know our business fairly well. It's certain ly funny to read speeches by bank ers telling us how to farm. I have come to the conclusion that the bank ers know so little about fym loans that they would do better to study and discuss their own business than to try to teach us ours." And we have concluded that there Is some force in what the farmer says. The American Bankers' associa tion and thirty state bank associa tions are actively promoting agricul tural advancement. The work under taken by them includes 6oil surveys, experiments with fertilizers, hiring ex perts to make practical demonstration upon the farm, education in road mat ters, and so on indefinitely. The bank ers are duplicating what the federal agricultural department ft doing, what evefy agricultural college is do ing, and what every farmer's institute is doing. They arte going into the field of production which is important but which after all is one in which the farmer remarked, "one is led to think that the bankers of the country have unanimously concluded that they know their own business so thor oughly that their elevating educa tional instincts can get opportunity for expression only by doing mission ary work among us lowly farmers and elevating this ignorant class to their own high plane of intelligence." Worst Banking for Farmers. We have been going through Eur ope accompanied by agricultural ex perts. We have talked with leaders In agriculture in several countries. We have read bulletins and books ga-. lore on agricultural methods abroad. We consulted government specialists. We have Been and heard and studied ahmit. all the most scientific up-to date farming methods. But neither the experts with us nor we ourselves have been able to recall a single idea on agricultural production that is not being more or lese widely worked out in America byvthese lowly farmers whom the bankers are so benevolent ly and condescendingly instructing. On the other harifl so far as we can discover the United States is the only country in the civilized world where banking methods have not been in any degree adjusted to the needs of the farmer. Sometimes over here in j Europe the Joint stock bank does the work. More often it is a co-operative n credit bank that loans to farmers. ii But some bank stands ready to ^ meet the farmers' needs 'everywhere, 1 except In the United States. In e America, as nowhere else, the banker c j takes (ithe terms calculated to accom I modate the city merchant and flnan- e | ciers and inflicts them upon the pro- * : testing farmer. Sixty and ninety day j loans are just what are needed in the P I city, but they are of no possible use to e ; the farmer. A merchant or commis- n i sion man gets his returns promptly c and can meet ninety day paper at a maturity. But the farmer cannot buy 0 calves or pigs and fatten them, mar ket them, and get returns short of a s much longer period. The rural bor- r j rower who invests the borrowed r ' money in seeds or fertilizers cannot f hope to realize upon his investment short of six or eight months. It is ^ not so much a question of interest 1 as of terms and methods. In many f localities interest rates are fair. In c Bome places interest on farm loans is (1 too high. But it is true everywhere 'J in America that the bankers stub- i bornly refuse to the farmer the sort r of loans which he needs. And the i banker who sits behind the cashier's 1 desk writing speeches about better t farming drops his facile pen long a enough to crowd down the throat of some farmer patron who should have an eight months loan, a three months { 1 ?~ n a V iua.il, WHICH 10 aa aye w snyyio i * fco helD him.

SOMETHING TO LEARN How the man on the farm can bor ow money advantageously and eco lomically is an important question, t may not be so important as good aarketing but it is important enough, lis loan should be on terms which aeet his occupation and his financial esources. If he cannot get these erms from his banker he will laturally try to get them elsewhere, ."he question is will the banker force ilm to seek loans elsewhere, or will ie meet the needs of the farmer, "here is little doubt that the ^banker ould give longer time on ?safe per onal paper. There Is little doubt hat he could arrange for long time eal estate mortgages. When a farmer lorrows to buy a farm and gives a Qortgage for the loan there is no rea on why It should not be a long time .mortlzatlon mortgage permitting re >ayment In annual or semi-annual ayments extending over ten, twelve T twenty years. Gilt Edge 8ecurlty. , A good first mortgage on real estate unning for a considerable period of lme is recognized the world over as , gilt edged loan. Financiers are ac ustomed to advise it as the safest in 'estment for trustees, widows and thers who are not able to pass upon he character of miscellaneous invest ments. The president of one of the great [fe insurance companies makes the tatement that his company in its his ory of forty-six years has loaned 133,838,549.44 to 75,102s farmers, se ured by mortgage on 11,462,363 acres, he average loan being $1,782.

Some $600, 00,000 in farm mortgages are carried y our life insurance companies?an mount equal to 35 per cent, of the Dtal farm mortgages shown by the ensus. ' If a farm loan for three years is a ood loan, one for ten or fifteen or wenty years is good, too, but no .merican bank makes these long jans. Why? We bare never been ble to get any adequate answer to liis question. The general response 3 an unsatisfactory one, "It isn't good anking to make such long farm jans," which is another way of say .ig what we have said before, that he city banker will not meet the eeds of the farmer borrower. There seems to be therefore no rea uii wny mis uicl mau a luug time arm loan is a gilt edged loan should ot be taken into account in fixing the nterest. It is not possible that the uterest on these loans should be near he rate which is received upon bonds, ither municipal or industrial. The ity banker will investigate fully the ategrity and earning capacity of very factory that wants a loan. Is here any reason why the American anker should not put himself in a osition to investigate the honesty and arning capacity of the farmer who ieeds money, thus permitting him to j apitalize his character as do bankers j broad? On the whole after looking! ver the situation at home and abroad ' t is not surprising that the farmer ometimes suggests that bankers night well study their own activities ather than to be butting in upon the armer's business. Over here in Germany the bankers vere formerly as slow as those of America are now to meet this demand or rural credit. So co-operative :redit came and it came to stay. It loes the work and it does it well, rhe question that is up in America s simply a question as to whether or lot the American banker is going to nsist that the American farmer solve lis own difficulties or whether he, he banker is going to solve it for him md be his financial backer. Mortgage Loans in Germany. A co-operative loan on long mort gages is no new experiment. One lundred and forty years ago the ^andschaften were organized in Prus rately fashioning metrical fragments or preludes to his Indian tales, struck note seldom sustained in his com peted compositions. Who was Daffy-down-Dilly, and what !id she do when she came to town? Vas Jumping Joan flesh, fairy or ymbol? Would we laugh or cry did ve understand the fantastic appari ion o? Banbury Cross? Why did Iargery Daw sell her bed and lie upon traw, and was there not something lehind the appearance of her purely ccentric depravity??Century. sla. A war like period culminating In the Seven Years' War had reduced the greater part of Prussia to a piti able state of devastation. The own ers of large estates which had borne the brunt of the war charges were poverty stricken. Hence in 1769 Frederick II issued a royal decree en abling these owners of large landed estates to secure capital necessary to revive their agricultural interests by joining together in securing a co-op erative loan. While at first these loans were granted to only the own ers of the large estate this system was afterwards adapted so that the smaller land owner could profit by it. The owner who wishes to secure a loan gives a mortgage to the associa tion. He is required to pay interest at the rate of from three and a half to four per cent, and may borrow up to two-thirds of the value of his farm. This valuation is arrived at by capitalizing the income which he can erof- nfP frnm it It is characteristic of European finance that the farm values are fixed largely by consideration of the actual earning capacity of each farm. Appar ently the price which a neighboring farm may bring has little to do with the value which is placed upon any particular farm. The theory is and it seems to be sound, that the value of the farm is not so much where it lies as it is what will it earn. When the association has a group of these mortgages it pledges them by a trust deed, and issues a series of bonds secured by the pledge of the mortgages. These bonds are then sold and usually bear an interest of from three to three and one-half per cent. The association not only pledges the association itself so that in a .sense every member of the associa tion is' back of the bonds. These bonds have always brought a good price even in the most difficult times financially. The mortgage gl^en by the land owner is not due at the end of a cer tain number of years, at which time the entire principal must be paid as are American farm mortgages. In stead they hid for from twenty to sixty years with an agreement incor noratfirt Intn the morteaea that each year the farmer shall pay a certain sum of money which shall include in terest and a small Installment upon the principal. In this way the mort gagor.gradually pays off his mortgage paying little more than the amount which would in America be required as interest alone. The chief advantage to the farmer is in this fact that he is allowed to pay ofT the loan by mak ing small annual or semi-annual pay ments. Other advantages are that he will never have to renew the mort gage which will continue to run until the payments he.ve cleared the farm of the debt; he will never be com pelled to pay any renewal commis: sion, and will never have to go to the expense of bringing down his title or having it examined every two yearq, as is done under our American sys tem. Relffeson and Schulze-Delitzsch. The Reiffeson and Schulze-Delitzsch banks are smaller community Institu tions, organized upon the co-operative plan, and are not operated for profit to the investor. Reiffeson banks op erate more particularly in the coun try while the Schulze-Delitzsch banks operate largely in urban communities. The Reiffeson is the most purely co operative. While the Reiffeson banks loan money for a long period of time they do not generally loan for so long a period of time as do the Land schaften. They receive deposits from their members, paying them interest as do savings banks. The one at Cassel, Germany, which can be taken as a fair representative of its type charges 6% per cent on short time loans. They pay 4% per cent, on de posits, which are left with them for an agreed long period of time, and 4 Der cent, on deposits left for a shorter time. It Is found, however, that the rate of interest varies in dif ferent places. Since these banks must meet the competition of the joint stock and savings banks in each com munity. They generally are able to compete successfully for the reason their expenses are very light, their officers usually serving without salary and since they do not wish to make any large profits to pay off any in vestors as do the other banks. Q I AtAi The best rural credit system in the world, if actually in operation would not prove a cure-all for our present rural ailments. It would not get you anywhere. The farmer who has ne gotiated a loan upon the most favor able terms has made no actual ad vance. He is just where he was be fore. If I am running a losing busi ness the more money I borrow the worse off I am. If I am not produc ing a good product which I can mar ket readily and profitably, the less I put into my business the better. Rural credit without good farming and good marketing is a delusion and a snare. Easily obtained loans are no substi tutes for brains and business senaa and a marketing system. Rural credit can do just one thing. It can enable a man to get possession of a farm and the equipment with which to farm. If the farming busi ness into which the loan launches him is not a paying business the loan has simply injured him by getting him into a losing venture. I said a loan will enable him to get possession of a iarm ana eg puienu iuib yuddgo sion is temporary and will be of no permanent advantage unless he makes the land and equipment his own by re paying the loan and of his honest aDd hard won earning. After all it is rural earnings which spell success and good marketing conditions whether co-op erative or otherwise are an absolut? essential Returned to Life in Coffin. To be buried alive in the cemetery of Hochwald, in the canton of Soleure, was the fate of an elderly Swiss lady. After the burial ceremony the grave diggers were about to fill in the grave when they heard knocking in the cof fin. Instead of rendering immediate help they fled in terror to inform th?? doctor and the priest. When the doc tor arrived at the grave the coffin was opened and it was found that th* woman, who had turned over, had died. CATTLE FOR YORK MARKET Much Interest is Stirred in Organi zation For Raising Cattle For Home Market. Rock Hill.?There was a large at tendance of farmers and those inter ested in the development of agricul ture in this section at the meeting held recently in the auditorium of the chamber of commerce for the purpose of organizing a live stock association. The association was organized with about half a hundred members, and T. L. Johnston, president of the Peo ple's National Bank and one of the largest planters in the county, was elected president. J. A. Barber, an other prominent planter, was elected secretary. The organization starts off with the manifestation of great inter est among the farmers in the matter of introducing stock raising ii^ this DQrtflrtn on/1 1 m r\?wH n cr tho hrpftrl R Of both dairy and beef cattle. President John T. Roddey, of the chamber of commerce, ' presided at the meeting and, in presenting W. W. Long, United States demonstration agent for South Carolina, stressed the scarcity of beef cattle in this section of the state and the rapidly increasing prices of beef. Mr. Roddey declared that cattle raising is a nec essity, that the people must have food and meats will soon be out of reach of ordinary people unless the supply of beef cattle is increased. Mr. Long, in his address to the farmt>;s, spoke of the fact that beef is now being shipped into this coun try from Argentina, and even from Australia, and he said it is only a question of time when a large part of the meat supply of the United States will have to be purchased in other countries unless American farmers seriously take hold of the problem of raising more cattle at home. He spoke also of the fact that agricul tural exports from this to other coun tries are decreasing, and declared that American farmers must learn to increase production.

Ninetyrfour tired persons are sat isfied that Florence has been boosted as never before. The booster trip was successful from its enthusiastic start to its no less enthusiastic close. The progressive tour included visits to 17 towns and the special train used by the tourists passed through five counties between the hours of 9 a. m, and 6:30 p. m. Prepare For Horse Show. Greenville.?That the attendance of exhibitors at the coming horse show, May 6, 7, 8, will be the largest In the history of the local association is the opinion expressed by Secretary Henry T. Mills, who is daily in receipt of letters and telegrams from well known horsemen from all over the country announcing their intention to bring horses for the spring exhibi tion. There are several reasons why the attendance at the Greenville show should be larger this year than here tofore, principally because better op portunities will be offered various ex hibitors on account of the recently or ganized state horse show circuit.

WITH CITY'S PRIDE AT HEART t Santa Fe Journal Regretfully but Firmly Calls Attention to Mu nicipal Dereliction. The New Mexican does not wish to be unpleasant or unduly critical, | but a dead rooster at the corner of Palace and Lincoln avenue has lain there unburied for three consecutive days. There is no doubt about that roos ter's death. No physician's certificate is required, as the passerby may tes tify. He has passed away. Now, while one rooster occupies compara tively little space, and while a casual visitor to the city might not notice him, the principle of the thing is wrong. One tourist might see that rooster and fail to see the old palace; and his report on Santa Fe would fea ture the fact that it had no facilities for interring or removing defunct roosters. Let no visitor to the Oldest-Newest city in the United States see unburied roosters on our street corners. It is the little things that go to make the big impressions. Every rooster re moved and buried makes Santa Fe one rooster the cleaner, one rooster the brighter and more attractive. Let us let no dead rooster escape? or any other debris, animal, vegeta ble or mineral on the streets of this beautiful capital city of New Mexloi. ?Santa Fe New Mexican. The Bachelor's Proposal.
