8 OREGON CITY ENTERPHISfc, FRIDAY, AUGUST I. 1913. FARM BANKING SIMPLE INDEED AMERICAN INVESTIGATORS PORT ON OPERATION OF RURAL BANKS RE GERMAN AGRICULTURISTS DO WEIL But Link Money Kept In Till, Short-Ttrm Loan Car For Greater Part of Deposits Intereit High An interesting description of a rur al bank is furnished in a report from the American Commission on Agri cultural Co-operation, now studying rural credits in Europe. The proiios ed establishment of such banks In the I'nited States, and the interest In cur lency reform and altered credit moth ods so that the farmer may have more ready access to fundi in harvest times, adds timeliness to this report. I nder date of Dosseuheim, Germany, the commission writes as follows Records of the Dossenhelra bank 6 it to be a society of 295 mem bers. about half of whom were labor era in a nearby quarry but who main tained small parcels of land they worked with the aid of their families, and about half of whom were small farmers owning or renting on an aver age 2H acres each. The cultivation of these farms was extremely Inten ' - sive truck farming it would have been called in the United States. One of these members entered and counted out ten marks from a bag ,--whlch he deposited in the bank. Evl dently tie visit to tne bank was to the depositors' mind something of a social event He started conversa tion with the cashier and was appar ently a bit nettled when the cashier explained that the presence of visit ors made It impossible for him to in- dulse his friend in the usual amount of village gossip. Tese conversations as the bank typify the intimate re lations that exist between the man agers of the Institutions and the mem bers. It is upon such edposits as the one made during the visit of the Ameri cans that the Dossenheim institution depends chiefly for its funds where with to make loans to its members. It may also borrow from the Central Co operative bank with which it is af filiated. At the present time the de mands for loads are heavy and it has a debit at the Central institution. The institution commands about $2S,'H)0 to finance Its 295 members. For their deposits the members of the bank receive 4 per c?nt interest. Deposits are also accepted from non members, but only 3ii per cent is paid them. Only about 1200 in cash is kept at the bank. It is tha object of Ue local bank to lend out all of the money which it receives to its mem bers. If. however, the demands for loans are insufficient to keep- all of the fund's at home, the surplus is de posited with the central bank which pays the local bank per cent in terest When the funds of the local bank are insufficient to meet de mands for loans, it borrows from the central bank and pay 4 per cent in terest on such loans. The loans are made to farmers either on their own note. ine institution is conducted by a board of manager. The cashier re ceives $20e a year as ralary. FOR WIFE-SLAYER riIU.AnKl.riUA. ra., July 26.

An army of electricians, dec orators and others Is already at work. and their efforts promise to result in the most lavish and beautiful display of flags, bunting, electric lights and color imaginable. No one can estimate the amount of bunting that will be used one en thusiastic decorating company puts It it millions of yards and the demand upon the electric companies Ib al ready so great that they announce they can receive no more orders. Probably the most beautiful and e'aborate feature of the decorative scheme will be the court of honor, extending four blocks In the down town district. The court wi!: be sur rounded by forty-eight immeuse elec tric pillars, each having a different combination of color. At niiriit the visiting Templars will be treated to the dazzling sight of a mammoth electric cross on Pike's Peak.

WASHINGTON, July 30. Like a giant flail, a cyclonic storm of wind, rain, and hall whipped back and forth across the nation's capital today, leaving death and ruin in its wake. Three were killed, scores Injured and hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property was ruined, acord ing to a hurried canvass made when the city aroused Itse'.f from half an hour of helplessness in the grasp of the elements.

A number of ranting tennis play ers are here for a week of tennis, which was opened today on the courts I of the Crawford House Tennis club. ticketed visitors upon the grounds up on her s.t day. Sul-m, Albany, Eu gene and all the clll.'s uxn the west of the Willamette, with Astoria by the sea, should follow with th lr ability, and the push of their enter prise. Well, why all this expenao of time, strength and money just for an an num gathering of a Chautauqua? I answer for the pi -asnre it will give tile people, and lor Ihe good It will do them and their children and their children's children to the fiftieth gen eratlon and beyond. I believe in fairs and festivals county, state, national and International here the prod nets of brawn and brain from farm "mi factory, and inventive genius are on display, as means of education and inspiration; and 1 believe mors fully a so. in Cbautauquas, conferences and conventions, where the morn excel lent products of mind and soul are on exhibit for the education aud inspira tion of the people along mental, social and mora! lines. And inasmuch as a 'man is better than a sheep" so much more Is needed ths Chautauquas, con- rences and conventions than are the fairs and festivals, good as they are. But all this will take money, says some one. Of course, It will: and wel' that It does. Hut who has the money? The people hava the money, and have It in super-abundance for all good things if only they can be made to see tl.at there Is good money aud plen y of It for them In these higher and holler en'erprises, Into which they may Invest their means.

And now how shall the means be secured for this larger nd better enterprise? Ix;t all Inter ested, and all should be Interested, let such take stock In the enterprise as In reason they may be able. At least as heretofore suggested, let everyone secure a season ticket, and while thus increasing tne finance of the concern, they better serve tbemftelves by In suring to themselves a more regular attendance thereon, and of course be coming thereby more largely benefit ted by all the services of the Chau tauqua. I also suggest that at least two rep resentatives from every commendable organization within the Chautauoua territory, be placed upon ihe board of control or said Chautauqua, that the organization Itsi'.f may be put Into closest possible sympathetic touch with the people. As soon as possible or practicable, a field secretary or two should be put into the field to work up advertisement and by plat form and personal bollcltatlon, the means for its annual need. Meanwhile let everybody favorable to the enter prise tnlnk, talk, pan by month and by every week of every month for the success or tha same. All this can be done. Therefore, It should be done, and we ar? the peo ple who can do it. Will we? There is the rub will we? We can If we will, for where there Is a will there Is a way. In the very law and fitness or tnings, there can be no need, with out a corresponding way to Its sud- pty. Let us ud like men and live for ouiers than ourselves, and me God of heaven.

A little thing like a "wild West show" now bids fair to bring Oregon City once again to Governor West's attention, and pcrhapo It will cause hi 111 to slip down to the lower valley miitroM)lls much as ho did Ihe night of the rloilftg In the paper mills. Ministers of this city who sre pro los ing lo make It lmpoMtlle lor the com ing circus to show here next Munday Tuesday said tut they would go over the head of local officials, and send a petition direct to Governor West, asking him to use hts authority, as chief executive of tile state, to pre vent thj performance.

Apparently, even under the state law, the proposed cirrus prrlurmaiice billed for this city on Sunday cannot be stopped by the local ministers who have already registered nbjec'lon to It, When the pastors first mad their complaint lo Sherllf Mass, be referred ihein to IW-puty District At loruey Stlpp,' and that official render ed an opinion, In which ho quoted thn law In l,i iiae, and lutxcuuciiily (old the sliertir that lie should con aid t a circus an amusement. Section 21115 of Uird'i Oregon l-i which refers to the uliiUer now In dispute, reads In part: "If any r- son stiai keep open " any place of amusement on the first day or ine ween such person upon conviction thereof shall be pun iHiieii by a rum or not less than live dollars nor more thu.i fifty dollars. Attorneys w:.o ave looked un this law, wniiD liiey rind was passed In l.Sj-l. are n jw or t.i opinion that there Is nothing In the niiasiire which prohibits the Performance of a circus. ii nd furthermore, tbui there Is noth ing In It which gives any police off! cer the right to Interfere) wl.h the performers. Tho luw merely specifics .lint the person who slinll keep open ii n amusement is llnlilo to flue. The most the sherllf can do. tli ie for, these attorneys believe. Is lo find and arrest the one man responsible tor the performance of the circus probably Ihe manager and hold H in. As for stopping the perform ance, the law provides no way by which this may be dons. That the arrest of the mating -r of the circus would In any way Interfere with Its IMTformnnce Is scout tu by those who have looked Into the law, and limy therefor conclude that the objecting (utators are "up against It." This Interpretation of the statute was laid before Sherllf Mime Wed nesday night, and thut offlclnl was much put out. He has given his word to the objecting ministers that he will stop the performance If It Is sWn to be a violation of the law, nut ha now doubts whether there Is any law directly applying to the mat ter. "1 have said I would arrest vlolnt. ors or tne law unless I was restrained irom sucn action," said the sherllf. "and I mean to do It. The other dav I thought It might be n-cessary to ar rest every performer nt the circus, but If this later view of tho law Is correct. I can only arrest the man ager, nnd cannot legally atop the now. ir that is tho limit of mv now- er under the law, I am powerless to do any more." That the manager of the mmlmr show will be tickled to death to be arrested, as long as his show Is not molested. Is Die general opinion of those whose Interest In the ias has been aroused. And they believe he will readily nut un ball, and Ihon vn ones ann watcn ins si,ow go on.
