PROPOSES SYSTEM | OF RURAL CREDITS ' Organized Alter Manner of Build- ing and Loan Associations Chicago, Dec. President of the Passaic, New 2.—Robert D. Kent, Merchants Bank, Jersey, in an address before the National ference on Marketing and Farm Cred- | its proposed a system of rural cred- | its organized after the manner of building and loan associations, the separate associations to be controlled by a central national body. He fa- | vored such a system because of its nherent tendency to encourage pri- vate initiative. He said that govern- ment operation of any business was not to be desired and was not neces- ary. He hoped for a self capitalized stem of rural credits. Mr. Kent vesterday Con- “Each gricultural community should organize into an association all of the farmers and others who de- sired to share in the prospective bene- per share. If five hundred shares were subscribed, the end of the third month would see a fund of $1,500 available for making temporary loans to such members as might need to borrow. After the lapse of a year the accumulated dues, interests and repayment of short loans would amount to enough to warrant the As- sociation in embarking in the farm mortgage business. * * * “Any number of local associations thirty should form a district associa- of one representative from each local The dis- trict association should be federated into a National Association. This body should receive from its constitu- ent district associations mortgages previously obtained from the locals, such obligations being passed up from time to time as requirements dictate. Those mortgages trans- mitted to the National association should bear the gaurantee of their originating district associations. The National association, thus fortified, could sell out securities to the pub- lic as long time obligations. “The National Governing board might well consist of the Comptrol- ler of the Currency, the Secretaries of the Treasury and Agriculture, four men elected by the district associa- tions from among their boards of di- rectors, and four to be appointed by the President of the United States. The whole system should be under the supervision of. a Federal official who should hear somewhat the same rela- tion to the various associations that is borne by ‘the Comptroller of tha Currency to National Banks. With an organization thus constituted there would be no difficulty in selling its obligations at a very moderate rate of interest, particularly after the public had come to know the standing of the National Rural Credit Associa- tion.” LENDS STRENGTH TO PEACE REPORTS - 29c| Bleached Turkish Towels, | People in Holland Point to Editorial in Berlin Vorwaerts to Up- hold Arguments. Amsterdam, via London. Dec. 2., 2:50 a. m.—Persons in Holland who recently have maintained’that some sort of peace negotiations actually were under way in Germany and that a sudden peace was among the pos- sibilities, are pointing to an editorial in the Berlin Vorwaerts as lending strength to their arguments. The editorial in question quarrels with the German censor for refus- ing to allow a discussion of peace in the newspapers and declares it is cer- tain most important facts are being suppressed. “It is necessary at this time,” says the editorial, “to discuss the possibil- itiy of peace, because if peace comes | suddenly, a storm may arise for | which only the diplomats and states- | men can be blamed. .Public opinion | will not tolerate peace without know- ledge.” URGES LARGE USE OF POTATOES AS FOOD * 9-4 Bleached Sheeting, good « quality, value at 30c.

Tel. connection, | Prof. Horton Says Drying of Potatoes Is Unknown Art in the United States, Chicago, Dec. 2,—The food value of | potatoes was the subject of an address or H. E. Horton, of the wel- | tare department of the American | Steel & Wire company before the Na- tional Conference on Marketing and Farm Credits yesterday. He urged the large use of potatoes as a food, aGvocated the manufacture of surplus | into potatoe chips for family use, and told how potato chips may be used as important foodstuff for farm animals. He said that potatoes furnish twenty- five per cent of the necessary food of the German Empire and that in the | families of German workingmen po- tatoes constitute fifty per cent. of the He added: | food consumed. i “The drying of potatoes is an un- | known art in the United States, while | in Germany it is a well established, profitable business. | “But where potatoe flakes will be- come indispensable, once introduced, will be in the army and havy and the fitting out of camping parties. Dried potatoes can be kept almost indefinite- 1y, and besides the drying process re- cduces the weight about three- fourths,” Haunting Hawaiian Melodies recorded for the Grafonola Columbia Records that really convey the strange fasci- nation of Hawaiian music, and the romantic atmosphere of the South Sea The plaintive minor wail of soft female voices against the rich choral background of deep-throated male singers in COLUMBIA Islands. DOUBLE DISC RECORD NO. A 1616—75c. “ALOH sung A OFE” by Toots Paka Hawaiian Company will thrill even these who have never visited Stevenson’s beloved “Isle of Dreams,” nor heard the distance-softened chorus floating faintly over the waters on velvet-dark Hawaiian nights. “The Hawaiian Medley” on the reverse of this record is an odd melancholy and still Hawaiian instrumental blending of the wild wilder merriment of music. No one can remain unresponsive to the all-but-human notes of the South Sea guitar, or the rythmic throb- bing of the wkulele—the appeal of Hawaiian music is well-nigh universal. For a novel “Musical Evening in the South Sea Islands,” your dealer will be glad to make suggestions from among the many Columbia records listed in the special Hawaiian catalog. Hear “Kamawee,” the orig- inal Hula dance, and others, by the same inimitable company of Hawaiian musicians. Columbia Records in all Foreign Languages New records go on sale the 20th of everv month.
