Washington, Aug. 31. How the Ger man farmers have welded their 16,000 and Odd rural cooperative banks Into a national j)rganl?atiQtt. that placea behind the German aglculturist a flnanolal power of stupendous size la ahown by the investigation which la being oon- - (ducted by Ambassador Irishman, at Berlin, In connection with President . Tafts effort to establish cooperative ' credit in the United States for the bene fit of the American farmer. -""""The average rural cooperative bank i in; Germany has a membership of less . ;than hundred people, It Is conducted almost as a fatally affair and every member la personally acquainted with I all the other members. Naturally, any organisation of such limited scope wouid prove individually an insignifi cant factor in the financial world. It quickly dawned upon the German far mers, after the cooperative bank Idea had . jtakert substantial root In that coun try, that If their organizations were to - secure' n commanding position In the banking world they must concentrate their strength through unions. Conse quently, the leaders of the movement undertook to combine the various rural banks in each province. Organisation of Banks. 1 A central cooperative bank was es tablished In each province, modeled slm ply as nil enlarged edition of the local banks. The members belonging to the . central banks were the local banks. They subscribed to stock in the jceatral banks to form the capital. Their urplus funds were deposited with the central banks. Home money is secured also from loan from outside banks and some from loans advanced by t:ie two general central banks which are a pnrt f the cooperative bank organization and are .to the provincial central banks what those banks Hre to the local banks r the local hanks are to their mem bers, the farmers. The chief function of these central banks is to equalize the credit needs of the local banks. The great prosperity attending the local banks' gives them, as a whole, money enough to finance the farmers with all the loans whjch they require. However, this prosperity Is not equally divided. Meeting Problems. One bank finds itself with a large aurplus at one time and another bank $- in ned of r loan to meet the calls made upon It by Its members. The sur plus of the one bank Is deposited with the central bank of that province ami Is. In turn, loaned by the central bank to the other local bunk requiring additional funds. Surplus funds not required by the local banks for loans are Invested either with the general central banks cr in securities. The central banks lend money tQ the local banks In two ways: upon current account and for fixed pe riods. Ixians on current account, how ever, form the great majority of the business. A step higher than these provincial banks are the general central bunks. These banks extend their operations over the entire empire. There are two of tlifse banks the Central Agricultural Loan bank of Germany at Berlin and the National Hank for Cooperative So cieties at Darmstadt. ., These ' banks grant loans to the central cooperative banks and receive their deposits, acting aa "equalizers." just s the provincial banks do to the local banks. Billions of Money Handled. In 1909 these provincial and general central banks did a total business of 11,557,293,580. This gives an idea of . the size of the cooperative credit busi ness of Germany and of its Importance to the German farmer. Financial cooperaton wr.s not the only need felt among the many coop erative societies. It was a great move ment, a new theory which, though im mensely successful In its original form, required development and direction as It extended over the empire and was fitted to the differing conditions of va rious communities. Also the coopera tive idea in Germany was not confined entirely to financial cooperation. There were distributive cooperative societies, dairying cooperative societies, and other kinds. Cooperative Flans Adopted. The working classes of Germany, found an Idea which would aid them in buying, in selling and in banking. The me'mbe"rS fir This nationwide movement felt the need of cooperation among themselves. As a result, provincial or ganizations were formed to propagnte the cooperative idea, to educate the peo ple in the movement and to act as a general defense association for the en tire membership of th cooperative movement. These provincial organiza tions were In turn combined in national organizations. At first there were two national federations (as they werei termed) and these two maintained a separate existence for some years. They even Worked at cross purposes in many Instances. But the natural simi larity of their motives finally led to a consolidation, and today there is but the one national federation tho Na tional Federation of Darmstadt. , In 1 S89 a law was .passed adding to the duties of this national federation the task of inspecting the work of the CLEAN YOUR Lift AND 30 FEET OF BOILS WITH "SYRUP OF FIGS."

You feel a certain dullness and depression," perhaps the approach of a headache; your stomach gets sour and full of gas, tongue coafed, breath foul, or you have Indigestion. Tou say, "I am bil ious or constipated and I must take omethlng tonight." Mdst people shrink from a physic they think of castor oil, pirpmel, salts or cathartic pills.

(By tlie International New Serrlre.l London, Aug. 31. Joseph Chamber lain who has bean buttling in politics for nearly 40 years, seems to have become rejuvenated in the endearing society of his American-born wife, of his son, I. Austen Chamberlain, and of his son's son, "Little Joe." Joseph Chamberlain, who is still a Unionist member of parliament from Birmingham for his constituents are the most faithful in the throe kingdoms was here from his residence, High bury, Birmingham) a few days ago. His admirers were delighted. Mr. Chamber Iain. Who Is 75 years old. was as spright ly us a man of his dignity can be. Yet It was predicted five years ago that he was a dying man. He himself Is first to say that his recovery has been due, in largeMt measure, to his wife's affiliated societies. The national feder ation has thus come to assume a close relation to nil of the affiliated socle ties, lis enormous membership, em bracing over 2S,(I00 cexiperative socie ties, gives an Idea or us lnnuence ana Importance. BUG'S PROGENY EAT WAY THROUGH CIGARS Dallas, Tex:is, Aug. 31 .Government experiments aimed to find some way of checking the predatory activities of the beetle that bores holes In tobacco and cigars have been successful, according to a report made here today to W. D. Hunter, of the federal bureau of ento mology. The report contains a list of precau tions for cigar manufacturers and tobac co growers. Fumigation is recommend, ed as an effective preventive. Investigation of the beetles' activities show that larvae are deposited In t tie open ends of cigars. When they hatch they eat their way out, generally boring the length of the cigar. The Japanese government, was re sponsible for tho federal investigation. The manager of Japan's tobacco mo nopoly protested when he received a big shipment of leaves that were perforated. An investigation showed that the beetle was guilty und the war of extermina tion begap.- or weakness.

New. London, Conn., Aug. SI. A plea for waterways improvement in the At lantic seaboard states Is to be made at the fifth annual meeting of the Atlantic Deep Waterways association, which is scheduled to convene, here on Hvp tem per 4 fur a three days' conference ter minating on .September 6. Tills improvement is to entail the construction of an intraeoastal water way from New tOngliind to the calm waters of Florida a project that would appreciably lessen a yearly toll of over 2000 lives and the loss of nearly 40, 000,000 of property on our stormy coast line. President Taft to Attend. One link in this chain of waterways has already received an appropriation from congress and a bill for further appropriations is now before the na tional legislators. Many of these na tional representatives will be present at the coming meeting of the associa tion. This list will be headed by Pres ident Taft, who will arrive on his yacht, Mayflower, via Long Island sound on the last day of the conference. Be side the president, the list of visitors Includes several governors, congressmen and mayors together with many prom inent engineers and business men from the Atlantic seaboard states. The president will address the mem bers of the association from old Fort Orlswold, on Oroton heights, opposite New London.' The address will be de livered on September 6, athe anniversary of the founding of New London and the capture of Fort Oriswold. Among others who will address the association delegates will bo Charles Na geU secretary of commerce and labor; Howard D. Hadley, of Pittsburgh, N. Y., and Captain W. V. E. Jacobs, super intendent of the school of instruction for the revenue cutter service at New London. Mr. Hadley will talk on Can ada's relations with the intraeoastal canal project and Captain Jaoobs on "The Revenue Cutter Service as It Ap plies to Coastwise Trade and Inside Waterways."

WATERWAYS WILL BE DISCUSSED Locomotive Operated by Elec ' trical Brain Built to Heed ; Warning Signals. - By Phillip Everett. . " ' - (flr tn Internmlonsl Nnw sjervleO London, Eng.j Aug.; 81.-The villagers ol Watchet, irt Somersetshire, have been mystified by tha, building of a 12-mll length of railway which leads to no where, whleh has no stations, no signal boxes, and no booking offices, and no advertisements nothing but two loen. motives and a train of wagons which never carry any goods In their cease less Journeys. ' A. R. Angus, of Sydney, New Bouth Wales, Is In charge of the work, anil he gave nn explanation. "It Is an experimental railway," he said, "with which I hope to convince the engineering experts of the world that I have built a "fool-proof" locomo tive. , "There will bo no 'up' and 'down' and 'distant' signals on my liny. The en gine will pick up electrical messages from the rails as It travels along, and each locomotive will have What you mtffht term cn 'electrical brnln.'" "The mechanism on the locomotlvo will determine for itself whether It is safe or not to enter each section Of tho Journey. Warning Signal Heeded Automatically. If the section is not clear the driver receives the signal, and if he fails to act on this, the locomotive shuts off Its cwn steam and applies the brakes, and, furthermore, by a system of elec trical communication It prevents any oilier train from approaching It too closely. -"Kxpretses, for instance, may run at their limit of speed through dense fogs, and. lie absolutely protected from t lie risk of collision, and each train Is fully protected even though the driver, stoker, ar.d jfiuird should all be Incapacitated. 'The adoption of the system would rtsult In the railway working expenses b"lng very greutly diminished, and the risk due to the personal equation would be entirely eliminated. "The system has been exhaustively tested already, and I hope soon to give a demonstration for the benefit of a number of British and foreign railway experts, who are extremely curious to see the result of my working." Patrolman's Politics Changed When He "Removes" Animal. (Special to The Jmirnul ) Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 31. fine small goat member of the Come-Back club has changed Patrolman Phil Mooney's poli tics. Until Saturday niprht Mooney wusn't much of a Roosevelt enthusiast, but his experience with a goat that night changed all that and now he says he hopes the "bull moose" party will be In the running this fall. He wants to vote for Roosevelt, he says, because he can sympathize with the colonel. The other night the phone at the Perk-Ins-E. Fifty-fifth street station rang. Lieutenant Willmore answered. "I want a policeman sent up to Cen tral avenue and Kast Thirty-ninth street right away," a woman's voice came ove; the phone. "Somebody's tied a goat un der my window and it's annoying me " Willmore looked around. The only pa trolman In the station was Mooney. "Guess you'd better go up there and see about that goat," lie said to Mooney. Mooney hustled to the address given and decided that the woman was right about the goat. He untied the goat and started to lead it away. He didn't get much more than started than Mr. Goat objected and broke away. Right after Mooney he came. Mooney started for the gate, and both goat and Mooney started to go out at the same time. Moo ney, who weighs about 35u pounds, couldn't get out fast enough to suit the goat. The last seen of tho goat, it was going full speed up the street. Knowing Mooney's attitude toward Roosevelt, some wit at the station not up this near Joke; "Why Is Mooney like Roosevelt at Chicago?" "Because he butted in and was butted out." Mooney's report to the lieutenant read: "The cause for complaint has been re moved and properly attended to." Vegetable Growers in Convention.

Bryan New York, Aug. 1,' The temper of the financial community has not changed materially during the past week. Apathy on the part of interests which are gen erally counted upon to stimulate the rnurket movements has been rather marked and the disposition even amonz the smaller traders has been to tread Judiciously pending further occurrences of a nature calculated to stimulate ac tivity In the stock market. Political considerations have com manded wide attention and In that con nection it la anticipated that the re sults of the Vermont election will pro vide a better opportunity for slslng up the probable trend of events at the polls in November. Fundamentally, conditions appear sound, tho reports with regard to state of trade and industry being most favorable and the demand for ac commodations fur mercantile purposes of good proportions. However, It has become ulte apparent to borrowers for Stock market purposes that the ease of tnonuy, especially Iti so far as demand accommodations are concerned, is rather superficial and due more to lack of agxresslve Inquiry than to a plethora of offerings. The opinion 1h expressed that New York will be calleJ upon to furnish gold to Canada and South Amer ica as well as to the Pacific coast points and In view of the fact that the in vestment Inquiry at present is such aa will not permit the ready absorption of the new capital Issues which were re cently placed among but not widely dis tributed by Institutions, it is thought that the Incentive to promote a broad snd sustained advance in the stock mar ket will be lacking for some time. A feeling of cheerfulness Is in evidence, hut the fame appears to be diluted with moderation. LARGEST AMOUNT OF WOOL MOVED SINCE - SAME WEEK IN 1909 Boston. Mass., Aug. 31. Although Wednesday was practically a half holi day in the wool trade owing to the out ing of the local wool association, a very large business has boon done the past week and an excellent feeling prevail?. Hoth manufacturers and dealers share In this confident feeling Judging from operations. One leading house reports the largest amount of wool moved In any week since thn fall of 1909 at the time when an extensive quantity was taken by the American company and other buyers. In general, however, it seems to b that the volume of transactions has been somewhat less than that of the previous week. Several factories estimated an BgRreKate movement of 10,000,000 to 12, 000,000 pounds, but conservatives set the total as approaching the lower figure.
