E.

The Act emnoiiies sound principles of roud legislation and will safeguard the expenditure of the fund arising under the Act not only, but will also result in the more elllclent nso of the large nddltlonul sums inude available by States and localities. 11.

The Federal Reserve Act bene-fits the farmer, as it does all the other people of the nation, by guaranteeing better banking, safeguarding the credit stnicture of the country, and pre-Tenting punlcs. It tnkes porticulur note of the special needs of the fanner by making larger provision for loans through nutionul bunks on farm mortgages and by giving farm paper a maturity period of six months. 12. It was essential, however, that banking machinery be devised which would reach Intlniutely Into the rural districts, that It should operate on terms suited to the farmer's needs, and should be under sympathetic management. The need was for machinery which would Introduce business methods into farm finance, bring order out of chaos, reduce the cost of handling farm loans, place upon the market mortgages which would be a safe Investment for private funds, attract into agricultural operations a fair share of the capital of the nation, and lead to a reduction of Interest.

These needs and these Ideals have been met by the enactment of the Federal Farm Loun Act. I am glad to have had an opportunity to take part In the execution of this large program, which, I believe, will result In making agriculture more profitable and country life more confront-able, and attractive, and, therefore, insure the retention in rural districts of an efficient and contented population. Faithfully yours, WOODROW WILSON, lion. A. F.

Lever, Chairman, Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives. WILSON A PROGRESSIVE BEFORE PARTY WAS BORN Eighteen months before the birth of the Progressive Party, Woodrow Wilson, then Governor of New Jersey, gave this definition of Progressive uud so classified himself In an ud-dress before the Kunsus Society of New York, January 29, 1911: "By 'Radical' I understand one who goes too far; by 'Conservative' one who does not go far enough; by 'Reactionary' one who won't go at ail. I suppose I must be a Progressive, which I take to be one who insists on recognizing new facts, adjusting policies to facts 2nd circumstances as they arise. Under Democratic Influences during the six-year period since stnndpatlsni was overthrown in the House of Representatives in 1910, ninety per cent of the program of reform advocated by the Progressive Party has been enacted into law. "Invisible government," which Is now making desperate efforts to "come back," has been driven from power under President Wilson's administration and will have no place In Washington so long as he Is In the White House.

MEXICO IS COMING BACK. Saved From Conquest, It Is Working Out Its Own Destiny. Encouraging news continues come from Mexico, and the tirades of President Wilson's critics grow tamer all the while. Mexico has seen much misfortune, has borne ninny trials, has experienced many tragedies, but there is a buoyancy to the present situation that gives cheer to friends of that long-suffering republic. Americans, coming from that country, briug optimistic assurances.

They declare that there is much better government there than for many years, that Carranza money is increasing in value, that business Is picking up and that law is being respected. The New York Evening Sun, a Republican newspaper, which usually criticises everything President Wilson does, is compelled to recognize the facts, telegraphed from Sun Antonio, Texas, by WTiIliara G. Shepherd, war correspondent of the United Press, who has been one of the keenest observers of conditions both in Europe and Mexico. Mr. Shepherd, back from a long service abroad, was sent recently to the Mexican border.

After a careful survey he reported conclusions which the Sun displays under the heading: "Mexico Coining Back; Business Grows Brisk Confidence in Carranza Increases and Things Look Up." In part Mr. Shepherd says: Mexico Is coming buck. It's not a dead rubber nation; it's got a bounce In it. A summary of the news from the heart of Mexico, gathered in the Inst three weeka along the border from Americans Incoming from Mexico, shows beyond doubt that conditions are Improving, confidence in Carranza Is growing, the situation is gaining buoyancy, Carranza money la gaining In value and business i iHckilUIUp. 444 Remarkable Record Set Forth in Letter by the President on Signing Bill.

NEW LAWS; NEW OUTLOOK Farm Lean Act, Federal Reeervt Bank, Provision for Warehouse and Mar-ketlna Facilltlee Are Part of Program Executed by Democrat. No administration baa ever done so much to advance the ngrlcoltore Intercuts of the United State an that of Prettldent Wlluon. The record la set forth chiefly and effectively In a letter written by the I'realdent to Con-jcreHHman A. F. Lever, Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives, as follows: THE WHITE HOUSE.

Washington. August 11, 1910. My dear Mr. Leyer: It has given roe much satisfaction to approve today the bill making appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1017, and for other purposes, because the bill not only makes very generous provision for the Improve ment of farm production In the nu-Oon and for Investigations and demon strations In the field of the murketlng of farm crops and of the organization of rural life, hut also contains three well conceived measures designed to Improve market practices and the storage and financing of staple crops. As the pussuge of this bill marks the practical completion of ua important part of the program for the betterment of rural life which was mapped out at the beginning of the administration, I feel that I cannot let the occasion pass without conveying to you and your associates In both houses my appreciation of the service rendered to the nation In strengthening its great agricultural foundations.

The record, legislative ns well as administrative, Is a remarkable one. It speaks for Itself and needs only to be set forth. 1. Appreciation of the importance of agriculture has been shown through greatly and Intelligently increased appropriations for Its support. 2.

Partlculur pnlns have been taken to foster production by every promising means, and careful thought has been given especially to the matter of Increasing the meat supply of the nation. 3. Greatly Increased provision has been mode, through the enuctnient of the Co-operative Agricultural Extension Ac fyf conveying agricultural Information to fanners and for them to apply it. Thto Ple(ce of legislation Is one of the most a'nlfl-ennt and fnr reaching measures' or the education of adults ever adopted by any government. It provides for co-operutlon between the States and the Federal Government.

This Is a highly important and significant principle. When the Act Is In full operation there will be expended annually under Its terms, from Federal' and State sources alone, a total of over In the direct education of the farmer; and this amount Is being and will be Increasingly supplemented by contributions from local sources. It will permit the placing In ench of the rural counties of the notion two farm demonstrators and specialists who will nssist the demonstrators In the move difficult problems confronting them. 4. Systematic provision for the first time has been made for the solution of problems In that important half of agriculture which concerns distributionmarketing, rural finance, and rural organization.

6. Provision was made promptly for the crention of an Office of Mar-kets and Rural Organization and the appropriations for this Office, including those for enforcing new laws designed to promote better marketing, have been Increased to $1,200,000. The more difficult problems of mnrketlng are being Investigated and plans are In operation for furnishing assistance to producers of perishables through a market news service. A similar service for live stock Interests will be Inaugurated during the year. 6.

The problems of securing the uniform grading of staple crops, of regulating dealings and traffic in them, of developing a better system of warehouses, and of providing more available collateral for farm loans has been successfully dealt with. 7. Under the Cotton Futures Act standards for cotton have been established, the operations of the futures exchanges have been put under supervision, and the sale of cotton has been placed on a firmer basis. 8. The United Stntes Grain Standards Act will secure uniformity in the grading of grain, enable the farmer to obtain fairer prices for his product, and afford him an Incentive to raise better grades of grain.

9. The United States Warehouse Act will enable the Department of Agrlcultnre to license bonded warehouses in the vorious states. It will lead to the development of better storage facilities for staple crops and will make possible the issuance of reliable warehouse receipts which will be widely and easily negotiable. 10. Of no less Importance for agriculture and for the national develop' School Notes There will be a teacher's meet ing in the Superintendent's offioe on Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock.

There are several students from the country who will take ad vantage of the free tuition in the high school. School will start next Monday, Sept. 11. The building will not be completed but enough of it will be finished so thst we can have school. We shall need several things for the new building that the board can't buy at this time.

One of the first things we shall attempt to get will be a piano. We have no plans as yet for raising money for this purpose. Perhaps we shall try three or four different ways during the winter. Will you help us when you are asked? The text books in the grades will be the some as last year. The following books will be used in the High School this year.

Unsettled conditions made a slumpy cattle market after Wednesday last week. Salesmen who had no cattle after Wednesday called the market today steady to lower, while those who had cattle here Thurs day and Friday called today's market strong to 15 higher, more in some cases. Keoeipts were 0500 head, one fourth a normal September Monday supply, and one-half as many as were expected, but a liberal supply is looked for later in the week. Stockers and feeders sold 10 to 25 higher. Nobody risked any prime cat tle for today's market although as things are now shaped the $11 quotation is effective on the right kind.

Grass steers got feeder competition up to $7.50 today, and middle class grassers sold at 7.15 to 7.65. Good wintered steers experienced some slownesF and disagreement as to value promised to carry some cattle over. Hales in this class were made at 8.00 to 8.75. Southern Kansas and Oklahoma steers sold at 6.25 to 7.25, and 11 load of Utah steers weighing 995 lbe sold to killers nt 7.00. Order buyers were uunui; pered today, and took a good many cattle.

jws sold up to 7.00, good Idaho oows nt 0.40, medium grass oow6 at 5.50 to 6.00. Not many outside buyers were here, but yard traders were active and paid higher prices, taking grass steers in competition with killers up to 7.50. The range supply was very light, but good to choice yearlings would have found quick sale at 25 higher prices, plain cattle steady to strong. Best yearlings are worth up to 8.25, bulk of the stock steers 6 25 to 7.00, feeders 6.75 to 7.75, with occasional demand for fleshy steers up to 8.25. HOGS Prices were unevenly higher, some hogs held from Saturday bringing an advance of 35 cents.

Most of the sales were 15 to 25 higher, with a top of $10.80, receipts less than 4000 head. Order buyers led, paying the top price for middleweight hogs, and 10.75 for lights.but'paokers stopped at 10.70. The small supply, of course, limited quality, as well as prevented the demand from extending itself. The situation is very strong, as stocks of products show a sensational decrease for August, and supplies of live hogs are running lighter than in recent weeks. J.
