Co-operative farm finance will
usher in a veritable new era, says
a farming; paper. It will enable
farmers of the most limited means
to pool their resources, so that,
upon their joint credit, they may
be able to borrow money at reas
onable rates for the year's opera
tions. Such accommodation is
the most pressing need of the
greatest number of farmers. An
other vital need is permanent
loans on farm mortgage at reason
able rates' with easy terms of re
payment. This need will be met
by the new system of co-operative
land-morlf,rae banks.
The co-operative farm finance
conference at Nashville in April
was attended by delegations from
21 stales, who reported the great
est enthusiasm everywhere upi
this subject. It is now realized
that, if agriculture can be supplied
with sufficient cash, credits and
co-operation, its luture will be
brilliant indeed.
I'ut the N'asliville conference
wisely favored deliberation and
care in establishing in America
the systems of co-operative farm
finance which, in Kuropc, have
successfully supplied rural 'needs
for more than a century. There
fore, the conlerence proposed that
a select committee of two busi
nesslike farmers from each state
be appointed to sail for Kuropc
in June to make 'a personal study
for Ih roe months of the way Kit
ropean farmers co-operate to ob
tain cash and credits, and buy to
gether and sell together.
Meanwhile it is hoped that con
gress will promptly enact the
tinnna-N'oiris resolution provid
ing for a national commission on
farm linance, with an appropria
tion stillicient to make an elab
orate iniiiiry into every phase of
the matter ami publish a set of
pamphlets hearing up",i the dif
ferent details.
Roosevelt's Campaign.
Never before in the history of
the American nation has any can
didate for I 'resident of the United
Slates so completely surprised his
lneiids and so thoroughly (liim
founded his enemies, as has Col
onel Roosevelt during the past
few months.
Three months ago no man who
considered himself well informed
on the political situation would
have cared to risk his reputation
on a prediction that Roosevelt
wolilil receive the republican nom
ination. Although the weakness
of Taft was admitted, even his
enemies ccnsidercd his chances of
success at 1
ally bright.
(.loaded on by an insatiable per
sonal ambitlVin and the advice of
an army of office seekers who
were at war with the Tall admin
istration, Roosevelt finally made
the declaration. "My hat is in the
ring," which was the signal for a
Campaign of personalities, i'lisiu
nations, charges and cotintei
charges, with the President of the
..'piled States and Kx-President

With less than fifty per cent of

WEDNESDAY
BURGLARS L00I ft
Three Hundred Dollars Worth
of Goods Stolen From
D. 0. Woodworth.
ENTRANCE GAINED OVER
TRANSOM OF FRONT DOOR
Fountain Pens, Razors, and
Table Silverware Included
in Missing Articles.
One of the most daring burglaries
e.-'iltnittcd in All;'.r. -or several ye.vs
occurred some Iliac e.'c. ly this mo:'.
iliK, when the drutf store of ). O.
Woodworth was broken into anil over
$.t(IO worth of goods carried away.
The bursary was evidently Ihc
work of several tneii, and entrance to
the store was gained hy climbing uver
tile transom of the main entrance on
I'irM srtect, which was left open last
tuj;hl.
'1 he rotihery '.va discovered hy Mr.
W'liodworth Irirself when he arrived
at the store shortly after 7 o'clock to
open lip. However, he was spared
the trouble of unlocking the door, for
it was standing wide open, the thieves
after securing their loot having un
locked it from the inside, leaving hy
I he front door.
When he discovered the door open,
Mr. Woodworth immediately became
siispieiuus, for William Told, his head
clerk, was not due to arrive for sev
eral minutes and there was no plaus
ible reason for the door being open.
He began to investigate his slock
and after a careful examination found
that he was minus about $.11)0 worth
of silverware, fountain liens, hand
hags, suitcases, pocket knives, Welch
es, etc.
lie immediately notified Chief of
I'oliee Daughlry and the officers are
now hard at work upon the ease and
luipe to have the thieves in custody
souil.
Among the goods stolen were a
uuuiIht of fiiunlaiu pens' bearing a
gnld emblem of the billowing orders:
Masonic, Knights of I'ythias, HILs,
Knights of Columbus, and Odd fel
lows, these pens being of the I'arker
brand.
A roll containing one dozen pcarl
hallilled pockel knives; a gross of or
dinary razors, nearly Iwo gross of or
dinary plain fountain pens of the
Parker, Couklin, Waterman and Sim
plo varieties, two cheap watches and
a leather manicure case and outfit are
included in the stolen goods.
Mr. Woodworth attended the meet
ing of the Chautauqua hoard last night
and after its close, made a thorough
inspection of his store before going
home to sec that all was well. The
thieves are evidently traveling with
the circus and if this is the ease it
may be difficult to apprehend them.
