In all I have read and heard no one seews yet to have got down to brass tacks with a real financial uplift | | ROCHEFORT GOT $2,400 WEEK | plan for the farmer. “Two phases of the farmer's predica- ment have enlisted my personal inter ‘est because they run directly counter to the way my mother has always handled her wealth in relation to the public good. \ “First 18 the rate of interest the farmer has to pay for money he bor- rows. Government statistics show that 12,000,000 farmers of the Urited Btates pay an average Interest rate of 8% per cent upon borrowed cap- ftal of about $3,192,000,000 to work crops on land valued at $40,000,000,000. Since my mother began her career as 8 business woman she has never asked more than 6 per cent a year for ‘the use of her money. The bulk of her loans have been at rates considerably below 6 per cent. In France and Ger- many the farmer gets all the money he wants at from 3% to 4% per cent. “The second phase of the problem 1 have obscrved is the action of banks throughout the country in sending their balances to Wall street, forming a huge fund used for speculative pur- poses. These balances represent the ner. business proiit of each particular locality —the very cream off the pan of miulk i the cool springhouse—yet the creators of this surplus wealth, the farmers, are starved financially when they apply for leans, because of the community are in Wall street being used in stock and bond promo- tions reaching even to China and the Philippines. “I'or years my mother has held to the beliof and has absolutely lived up ! to it, as far us her influence and power have gone, that every community is entitled to the full benefit of its pros- perity. She ulways made it an invio- lable rule that profits acquired in a given locality belonged to that locality and should always bte reinvested in that locality. Our books are divided tnto dilferent cities; we keep an ac- count of San Francisco money sepa- rate from Chicago money; Toledo money separate from New York money, while Texas not only has its own net profits left there for reinvest. ment in Texas enterprises, but now and then gets additional help from sur- plus funds.” Colonel Green explained that the ap- plication of his mother’s principles of bome cash for home people and her rule of 6 per cent or less would work wonders In giving the farmer a freer hand if generally adopted. German Tastes In Tobacco. Cigarettes are constantly belng smoked in larger quantities in Ger- many. In 1897 approximately one bil- lion one hundred million cigarettes were manufactured in Germany, while the present production i{s about nine times as large.

He :ooki promapt measures to counteract Lhe' poison, and, because the woman took k an overdose, he thinks there is a chance for her recovery.

He was taken to the hospital, but later was sent home. The workmen were badly burned. Debris was scattered for several miles and the detonation was feit for a great distance. The building was of flimsy censtruction and the monetary loss will not be great. The men were packing rockets in the factory when the explosion occurred. Just what caused it Is not knowa. | E. 6. TWEEDE Famous French Writer Established a Remarkable Financial Record in Journalism. London—Henri Rochefort drew at one time a larger income from newse 'paper work than any of his countem- poraries. 'When La Lanterne was started it vas arranged that he was to have a 10yalty on the sales. He 'wrote the whole of the paper, amount- ing to about three columns. About 60,000 copirs were sold of the first number, and by the time the fourth number was issued that circulation was doubled. The result was that Rochefort was soon making $2,400 a . week out of it, while it brought each of the directors $62,000 a year for do- ing nothing but keeping him up te |the work. There has been no other instance of a journalist gelting 80 much money from his work. BREASTS TO TROOPS _Fanatical Russian Monk Objected to Restoration of Members Expelled for Heresy.

When the troops surrounded the monastery an alarm bell was rung and the mcnks rushed toward the sole diers with their chests bared, shoute ing: | “Transfix us in the name of the Saviour.” | Three of the monks were sge- verely wounded and several were an rested. ,BARED | No More State Bread. Paris, — A Dutch invention will shortly be put into practice here which, it is said, will be as great [ boon to bakers as it will to house keepers. It is the application of cold | storage to freshly baked bread, so that there need be no more nigit work for the bakers. The process ig exceedingly complicated and scien. tific, but the method of operation is simple encugh. The baker's ovep is ! to be supplemented with a refrigerat. ing chamber coataining just as many degrees of cold as there are degrees .ot beat n the open. The baker afts er baking his bread places |t in th; ice chamber and keeps it at a teme perature of a degree ; ooy 8 or two_below —— Tree Found Underground.
