A Local Lesson Hood River celebrated a sar.e Fourth and the unanimous opinion was that it was a complete sue- cess, rireworks were uioooanu the law in this respect was strict ly enforced. It is probable that the youngsters had just as pood a time without them and it i certain that the older feneration appreciated the absence of th noise. In the Upper Valley the same ruling was made, but it was not so strictly enforced as here and the celebration at Farkdale was marred, to some extent, by an unfortunate accident which re suited in a boy losing his right hand by the premature explosion of a giant cracker. If the day taught any lesson it was that fireworks can be dis pensed with and everybody be the better for it. Insane cele will become rarer each year and it is right that it should be so. Hood River's Standard Reference by Professor Law rence in his talk at the Commer cial Club to the need of a strict and rigid inspection of apple packs this Fall recalls once more the fact that Hood River's most choice possession is her reputa tion as the section which grows and ships the finest apples in the world. It is that reputation which affords Hood River a more receptive market than less-known fruit-producing sections. It is this reputation, too, which en ables local shippers to secyre prices which are considerably above those obtained by sections whose reputations are still in the making. It is but natural, of course, that the tendency should be for each rancher to grade his fruit as high as possible and to have few culls. However, the same rancher can but realize that this tendency, when consid ered in the aggregate, is suicidal. Preservation of Hood River's reputation is a matter of impor tant and common interest and it is a subject which deserves care ful consideration between now and harvest time. Cheap Loans for Farmers An exchange which gives some interesting facts about the posi tion which the farmer occupies in the money market says in part: About half the people in the United States are either farmers or are dependent on the farms for their livelihood; all people de pend for food on the products of the farms. It is surprising, therefore, how little attention is paid to the needs of the farmers. Much, indeed, has been said and written about increasing the fer tility of the soil, about san itary dairying, about profits in stock-raising, about amuse ments for the farmer's wife and daughter, about the country church, and about a score of other things. But even so, there is need for more thorough study of the problems of agriculture and of country life. President Taft's investigation into European money-lending systems i3 the latest form in which the growing solicitude for the prosierity of the farmer has shown itself. To learn, if pos sible, how these systems can be adapted to the needs of this country, Ambassador Herrick is studying the Credit Fonder of France, Ambassador Leishman is studying the Landschaften of "Germany, and other American ambassadors are studying other European agricultural banks, all of which lend money to the farmers for a little more than four per cent a year. The Amer ican farmer has to pay from five to ten jer cent. The reason for this difference is said to Iv that whereas the American farmer is virtually forced to borrow in the limited market of his own community, the European farmer does not have to depend on local invest ors. The French farmers mort- gaf tneir land to the Lreuit For.cier. and that institution o:?ers for sale in the money mar kets of the country bonds based on the mortgages. In Germany the farmers' associations have the same power to issue bonds based on farm mortgage ; and since every member guarantees these bonds, there is a demand for them everywhere in the em pire. Denmark has a systm similar to that of Germany; un der it the country has changed from one of the poorest nations I in Europe into one of the most prosperous. The Danes indeed cooperate not only in their banking, but in their farming; by keeping uni form both the quality and quan tity of the butter and the eggs and the cream and the fruits that they send to market, they have assured themselves of steady sales and good prices the year round. When the ambassadors have made their reports, the adminis tration intends to embody such elements of the European sys tems as are suitable for this country in a plan for opening the money markets to the farmer on more favorable terms than those that prevail now. If the farmer can borrow money more cheaply than he has hitherto been able to do, the cost of production will be reduced, and the city dweller may get his food for a little less than he has been pay ing. Ihe whole country would be benefited by he successful carrying out of this plan.

America Should Aid In China's Uplift By CHARLES W. ELIOT. President Emeritus of Harvard University I X China the present is cloii'lrd, and tlin conditions are very grave. Americans nnl the graduates of American universities should feel the heartiest sympathy in the phenomenon we have seen worked. n k . AMERICA, I FEEL SURE, HOPES TO GIVE TO THAT GREAT COUNTRY THE BEST THAT SHE CAN TO GIVE TO THAT MOST IN TELLIGENT, THAT MOST INDUSTRIOUS AND FAITHFUL PEOPLE THE SAME POWERS THAT SHE HAS. t We have witnessed a great change in China, and it could not have been accomplished unless there had been long preparation for it in the minds of thinking Chinese. I am in full accord with the men who have this reconstruction in hand and will hopefullv ;atch to see how the spirit of freedom and public justice can be spr. 1 in China. Tho influence of American universities is largely duo to the changt which has been made- in tho educational systems during tho last forty years. EDUCATIONAL CHANGES ARE NEEDED IN CHINA. Wo have been through changes ourselves and aro now reaping the benefits. The great advance is duo in the main to tho INTRODUCTION OF THE INDUCTIVE METHOD, and it is a method that must bo established in China. It has been responsible for tho great ad vancement of tho world during the last 400 years. Lecturing h the most important of all systems of instruction of today. The time lias corno to abandon tho old static method. The fact that the American universities aro preparing more men each year for work in connection with the world's affairs in view of the fact that the introduction of the INDUCTIVE METHOD has been responsible for this great advancement should bo A LESSON TO CHINA.
