Ttiie mediation conference had been 1 wrestling on this point for the three weeks and for the past three days ; continuance of the conference has been threatened. The mediators them- j selves almost had lost hope of a peaceful settlement. Somewhat piqued at Gen.

Mexicans Yield. Finally, when matters seemed at a breaking point, Luis Elguero, o;ie of the Mexican delegates, entered the conference room and immediately a spirit of comprise was noticeable Observing it, tne Americans suggested that the other 'Mexicans come into the conference and Emilio Rabasa and Augustin Rodriguez joined the group. It was not a formal confer ence, but an impromptu talk.

FAR3I CRKIMT Five Rules For l>ornnvi!?ir 31 one) ;?s Set Out Kv Dt'jy.rtiiiewt uf Agriculture. Washington. I). .June 15.?Five rules designed to convince farmers that there is 110 magic about credit are set down in 'Farmers* Bulletin 593 "How to Use Fatm Credit," which the inuea states aeparimeiu 01 agriculture has just published. Tnless tJhe farmer who is thinking of borrowing money fully understands these rules and is willing to be guided by them, the government's advice to him is: /Irvn't Ac? it ic! tli oro a ro npnKii'hlv o ~ _ UV/il I* X~3LO it 1 o t LUV/1 UJ Viywuij u i most as many farmers ia this country who are suffering from too much as from too little credit. Of these rules the three most important are: 1. Make sure that the purpose for which tue borrowed money is to be used will produce a return greater aa/J a/1 4- a tv ntr f V* r\ nKf iiidii iiccucu lya-j iuc u^ut. 2. The length of time the debt is to run should have a close relation to the productive life of the improvement for which the money is borrowed. 3. Provision should be made in long-time loans for the gradual reduc tion of the principal. . The first rule is of coarse the key to tne wise use of credit. Between borrowing money to spend on one's self and b;rrowing money to buy equipment of some sort with which to make more money there is all the difference between folly and foresight, oxt 'avagance and thrift. If the money is Dorruweu xor a wise yui puac ll win produce enough to pay back principal and interest and leave a fair margin f profit for the borower into the bargain. If it is borrowed for a foolish purpose it will produce nothing and consequently t'.iere will be nQtiing Mr 'rv i nVi f r\ r-a.T\<h" t-V> 1r?dll FVr?m >>1111 ? 1111,1.1 t KJ U - v IVU14. *. ivui inis point of view it matters comparatively little whether the interest be high ; r low. It is the repayment of tho principal that is the chief difficulty. Rules 2 and 3 deal with the most satisfactory ways of repayment. UnJ U~4-^ Z* 4. U uerilL'aiil UUUl 15 liic ?aiuc iJi in" c:pU>: The loan must be repaid witn the money it ear s itself. For extuple, if t1 e money is used to buy a machine that will last 10 years, the machine must earn enough in that time to pay for itself or it never will. Ihe loan, therefore, shuld be entirely repaid before the 10 years are up or the fanner will lose money on the transaction, paying oat interest for no benefit in return. On the other hand, if too early a date is set ior repayment, the maciiine will not have hid sufficient opportunity to make i'.ie requisite money and the borrower may have difficult;, in raising it elsewhe'-'e. c : 9 nrnv 1 ri .^c fr>r- cnmo Tvrm of amortization, the system by which the p .;.-a! r- jairi in installments so that the amount of the ioa 1 is con :u\-diminishing a::J in consequence the interest charges al.-o.

For money that is borrowed j wisely, for money that is sure to be repaid, lie charges low interest. This in fact is w'.iy t'.:e government has published these rules for borrowers. It is not so much a matter or |d'iving a snrewd bargain as it is o: I observing a few fundamental princii pies which alone can make credit a j Messing and -1104 a curse. ? 1.ITTLK itEI> SHOES"7 ; (ii><*: IMiiin/irf Described as Clump and Comely.
