Jt is re ported that Mississippi banks lent $40,000 to these youthful borrow ers in 1913. Kansas banks lent $75,000 to children in that state. This financial role is a new one for the children. But according to all records the youngsters are prompt in meeting payments, fulfilling their obligations with a keen sense ot , honor. One banker said that out of 1000 such loans there had not been a single piece of bad paper. What do the children do with all that money? They buy seed corn. pure-bred pigs, calves and other livestock. By this time It is easy to guess that these boys and girls are members of farm clubs and that they will not always be borrowing. Once their way is well launched, their club activities soon become self-sup porting, then paying "businesses. Many of those children, members of the farm clubs organized and di rected by the United States depart ment of agriculture, are raising bet ter live stock and farm products than their parents did. They are "mak ing good" with modern farming methods and doing something really worth while which, almost any boy or girl will tell you. Is lots more fun than getting Into mischief or des troying things. Now You Can Get . Hll'K tilUI'KS s VK NF.I.I. CAItSOXS KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY v Quality and Service thumb?

MrXICIPAJj PORK fork ana municipal water sys tems have not always been strangers in the past. But there is a new con nection between the two in San iDiego, Cal. San Diego is constructing a huge dam which is to be the basis of its future water supply. There is of course a large corps of workers. This construction gang eats 19,500 meals a month. That necessitates a good sized mess bouse and results in a large amount of garbage.- It occured to an engineer interest ed in the work that the garbage pile at the dam held possibilities for good for the city, so he went albout secur ing a lot of young pigs in behalf of the municipality. These shoats have now become regular porkers. A number of them have even heen con verted Into bacon. In one year the sale of pork products has paid the enure cosi 01 running tne mess house at the construction camp and has netted the city a profit of $1, 177.08 besides. Says the proud en gineer who suggested the scheme, "Give those porkers time, and we'll pay for the whole water system, dam and all."

The problem of making agricultural superstitions into scientific data is being studied by experts of the department of ag riculture, who declare that many old maxims handed down from father to son for generations are not really superstitions at all, but helpful In formation discovered by keenly ob servant persons. Everybody has heard some of the old maxims. They deal with every variety of 'agricultural operation. Bean planting, for instance, never was done by the forefathers of the present generation except at the time of the 4lossomlng of the blackberry bushes. TVhen the catkins had form ed on the maple trees, it was a sign from nature that early gardening might commence. And toward the close of the season, warning of frost was given by the maturing of cockle-burs. Now, the department of agricul ture declares that there is a best time for every farm and garden operation ana mat some tree or shrub or plant indicates that time more accurately than all the scien tific instruments can register It.

Instead of buy ing food from the United States and South America. Britons are urged by Sir jCharles G. Wade, agent genera! for New South Wales, to buy food from the British Dominions. "However great may be the dis arming power of the league of na tions I cannot close my eyes to the possibility of another world wide coniiagration ana the risk of our supplies being cut off," said Sir Charles. "In our own 'interests and ror the purpose of national defense this country must he self support ing. What we cannot produce with in this Island must be imported, and self-interest demands that we shall insure a constant supply of raw ma terialB rrom our own kith and kin on whose cooperation we can rely, rather than be at -the mercy of the changeable good will of a foreign nation. "Our export trade again 1b serious ly menaced alike by enemy and al lies. Already the United States and Japan have made heavy inroads into British supremacy in the East. Both of these nations are already equip ped und ready for keen competition In commerce with the United Kln- flom, while this country is sufferlni! from an epidemic of Increasing cost and diminishing output. "To recover or maintain British markets a friendly field in the T minious will be a great help, and a preferential tariff may stave off the danger of under-cutting by foreign competitors."

The greatest in crease was In the electrical industry. l-omlou, Oct 9. Premier Lloyd George's announcement of the sus pension ot the board of trade licens ing restrictions ou the Importation of American automobiles was the re sult of an Increasing preference on the part of English motorists for the American tars quite as much as the urgency of Increased motor transport to supplement other means of conveyance. Formerly In England there was considerable prejudice against . Am erican made motor cars. This pre judice is now ascribed either to ignorance of their true worth or to snobbery. One contributor to a Brit ish motor trade journal de -lares: "Quite honestly, there is no bet ter value for money in the motor world than the average Ajnerlcan car. The point at the moment, how ever, is not exactly one of sheer value, .but whether, in our own best Interests in the long run, we should admit the vehicles freely, ration their import, or bar them altogether. "At the present time there Is a desperate shortage of motors in this country. Our own manufacturers, owing chiefly to circumstances over which they have no control, are un able to meet the demand and so, to some extent, we benefit Immediately by Importing motor vehicles from the United States. "At the tame time, the fa t re mains that the American factories cannot, for a considerable time, meet even their own demand, yet they are willing to keep their own market hort in their attempt to consolidate and increa.se foreign markets. There is ample food for thought In this fact." F Salem, Ore., Oct. 9.
