PROTECTING THE By a unanimous SMALL BORROWERS vote the Mis souri Senate has passed what is com monly called the loan shark bill and the measure is now under considera tion in the House. Its object is to prevent the robbery by usurious meth ods, of the most necessitous class of borrowers, who, having nothing for security, are compelled to consent to any terms that will yield them a little ready money for food and shelter. It is estimated that in a city like St. Louis this suffering and hitherto de fenseless class borrow about $2,000, 000 a year, for the use of which more than $4,000,000 is extorted from them in the course of twelve months. Ex isting laws against usury are evaded. The victim must have a little money t once, and has neither the know ledge nor resources to contend for legal rates. His "protection rests with an effective system; and one, after careful study, seems to be provided in the bill just approved, without a dissenting vote, in the State Senate. This bill forbids any one to engage in the business and charge more thau 8 per cent per annum witnout being licensed by the city where it is lo cated. The city issuing the license is given full authority to regulate and " control. A person holding a license from the city, and also giving bond, would be permitted to charge 2 per cent a month interest and a dollar and a half service and expense charge, but is forbidden to make a loan ex ceeding $300. The bill pending at Jefferson City is in line with the rec ommendations of the National Fede ration of Remedial Loan Institutions, and with laws passed in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey and other states. The main point is that such a law is a real, practical regulation and not a statute with loopholes for usurers. The rigid license system, with city supervision, will end the methods by which Ion sharks manage to charge what they please. KILLING OFF The United States HOUSEHOLD PESTS Department of Agriculture has published a bulletin dealing with the destruction of pests to the household. An infallible means of ridding houses of flies, cockroaches, rats, mice, fleas, clothes moths and other vermin is claimed. The medium of effecting this is by means of hydrocyanic acid gas, and the credit of the discovery is due Dr. L. O. Howard and C. H. Popenoe of the department. Flies, rats and mice are prolific dis ease breeders, being among the most persistent of germ carriers and dis-, tributors. Rats, mice, clothes moths and other vermin annually cause dam age which can only be reckoned in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The department has issued a pam phlet upon the subject, which should be in the hands of every householder, for if a test shows that the gas, which is said to be cheap and easy to handle, ' accomplishes what the department says it does, one of the serious prob lems of sanitation will have been solved.

The chief announced Thurs day that all dogs allowed to go on the streets must not only have a col lar but must have a city license at tached to the collar. Licenses must be provided for all dogs four months of age or more. The committee rep resenting the Woman's Club informed the council that it would be willing to abondon its plan to have dogs pre vented from running at large unless under leash, if the city would promise to rigidly enforce the law.

The next one will be held in Portland, be ginning Sunday afternoon, with an address by Bishop Shepherd of Kan sas City. "America and the Whole World for Christ" is the motto for all these gatherings. Specialists from all parts of the world-field will be present to repre sent the claims of the various causes, and to point to the open door in all lands and renew the Macedonian cry from all the world. America's needs and opportunities and her relation to the evangelization of the world will not be overlooked, but particularly urged by those who will plead the cause of home missions in all its as pects. Three of the General Superinten dents of the church will be in atten dance. Bishops F. J. McConnell, of Denver, Col., W. O. Shepherd, Kansas City, and Richard J.

We are glad to report that the sick are getting better, and with care will soon be well, we trust. All were shocked to read of the sud den death on Sunday in Portland of John Buckle's little girl, who was hit by a motorcycle and her neck broken. The father as a boy lived with his father's family for a number of years in Stafford. His father was pastor of the German Baptist church at this place and owned the place where Mr. Pamperine now lives. The Ladies' Circle met with Mrs. Aerni last Thursday and celebrated in a small way her wedding anniversary by bringing gifts apprbpriate to the oc casion. It was a complete surprise to her and although she had been mar ried twice she said she never receiv ed so many wedding presents. One lady brought a wedding fruit cake. The two cemeteries have been burn ed over early before the flowers bloom ed, making an improvement in the looks of the "City of the dead.'' A baby girl, the first one, came to the home of Mr. and Mrs.' Spancenberg on Friday last. Grace Tiedeman is still with Mrs. August Delker . We are glad to report that Grandma Tiedeman who fell and hurt her back so seriously is now able to stand and hopes are entertained for a speedy recovery. We are glad to say that quite a number remembered her with Easter cards. Monday night of this week regist ered the coldest of the month, It being 22 degrees above zero. - "BREAD JIND CAKE WiraJTH5TM"j live Day Our Mill Started we began making a Perfect All-Purpose Flour It is universally known as Fisher's Blend Flour ( Hade from futern Hard Wheat and Western Soft Wheat ) and we are still producing it, every working day of the year, to the full capacity of an un equalled plant.
