David Lubin, Delegate to In
ternational Agricultural In
stitute, to Tell How System
Has Benefitted Germany.
Washington, Nov. 16. David Lubin,
delegate of the United States to the
International Institute of Agriculture
at Rome, Italy, has arrived in Wash
ington for a conference with the state
department and with the officials of
the Southern Commercial congress on
the national campaign for rural cred
its. He will be in charge of the series
of meetings to be held at Charleston,
S. C, the week of December 13, as
a feature of the seventh annual con
vention of the congress.
The discussion on rural credits will
not be a cut and dried proceeding last
ing a half hour, and devoted to
speeches; but will be a thorough dis
cussion of all phases of the question
by .men competent to develop the
strong and weak points of the subject.
Among those who will participate
are Senator Duncan U. Fletcher, presi
dent of the Southern Commercial con
gress, and chairman of the American
commission which went to Europe in
1913 to study co-operative land mort
gage banks and rural credit unions.
The act of congress authorizing the
appointment of this commission gave
the credit for having originated the
idea to the Southern Commercial con
gress. Dr. Clarence J. Owens, man

Paris, -Nov. 16. "No strong drinks
for any one before noon and no strong
drinks at any hour for women and
young people of both sexeB under
eighteen years of age." Such is the
government order that has finally op
ened the eyes of wine merchants to
the earnestness of the anti-alcohol
campaign in France. By 'strong
drinks" are mean all beverages testing
over 18 degrees of alcohol. They in
clude most of the "aperitifs" or appe
tizers, and all brandies and liqueurs,
In the opinion of most wine mer
chants the measure kills the noon ap
petizer, and the prospect of the loss
of a considerable portion of their re
ceipts has brought about an aggres
sive attitude on the part of the liquor
trade. "If we can't pursue our busi
ness," they say, "we can no longer pay
our heavy rents." As the wine mer
chants are among the few who have
paid their rents regularly their men
ace has Involved protestations from
real estate owners.
"Any attempt to suppress the sale
of alcohol In wine shops before noon,"
declares the secretary of the liquor
dealers association, "will simply result
in a far greater consumption exactly
the contrary of what Is desired. The
workmen who takes a small liqueur
glass of brandy in his coffee at the
wine shop will take his coffee at home
and pour Into it without measuring
the alcohol that he can buy by ths
quart at any grocery store; conse
quence more drunkenness instead of
less." ,
Distillers who have foreseen further
restrictions In the ale of alcohol nave
anticipated them to a certain extent.
One of them who produces a beverage
that largely replaced absinthe reduced
the strength of his product from 40
degrees' alcohol to 23 degrees. Ths
temperance advocates and govern
ment authoritis contend that if the
strength of such drinks may be re
duced from 40 to 21 degrees without
appreciable harm to business it can be
further reduced to less than It de
grees with great benefit to ths
public. Many wins merchants
also philosophically conclude that ths
man who' drank strong liquors will
content himself with milder ones. The
attitude of the drinker himself seems
to bear out this theory; for the most
part he takes It all as a sort of a good
joke with no thought of resistance.

chairman of the senate committee on
banking and currency will speak at
the Charleston convention, as will Dr.
Clarence Poe, editor of the Progres
sive Farmer at Raleigh.
"Mr, Lubln is here by special per
mission of the state department to
attend the Charleston meeting," said
Dr. Owens yesterday. "Leaders from
n 11 parts of the United States will par
ticipate. The campaign for rural
credits in the United States was
launched on a broad national scale at
the annual convention of the Southern
Commercial congress held in Nash
ville, Tenn., In March, 1912. The ap
pointment of a commission by this
bo! and by congress to study the sys
..ms in successful operation In Eu
rope foll6wed shortly afterwards.
Now, with President Wilson and the
three political parties committed to
this Idea, we are apparently on the
eve of the enactment of legislation In
augurating the system. The south,
which is still largely agricultural, will
be benefitted beyond our present abil
ity to foresee or compute by the com
ing of this boon to the farmers.
David Lubin, In discussing the rural
credits problem with a representative
of the Southern Commercial congress,
said he had been studying the Oerman
system for a score of years. Since his
appointment to the International Instl- j
tute of Agriculture at Rome( he has
constantly In' his official reports to
the state department told of the won
derful good results accruing to the
agricultural Industry of Germany from
Us establishment He Is a profound
student of both the theory and prac
tice of the system. He believes It can
be adopted successfully and with profit
In this country.
"I have advocated It In England as
well as In the United States," said Mr.
Lubin. "It Is In the lntereet of the
agricultural classes everywhere, and
one's membership in the Institute
gives him this rather broader view
and a desire to help the men In all
lands who are struggling with the
problems of the farm.
"It has been shown that the per
petuity of our nation, of any nation,
is depending upon the balanoe ' of
power between the two Integrant ele
ments composing It the progressive
element of Its cities, on the one hand,
and Its conservative element of the
country on the other. Hence, It Is
clear that If the nation Is to persist,
Is to prosper, there must be a conser
vation of the nation's conservative
the farmer. The farmer must, once
for all, take his place In the nation
as a commercial entity and rank as
a commercial peer alongside the busl
ness men of the commercial cities.
This, and this alone, will bring about
that economic ejulllbrtum so essential
to the life of a progressive nation.
"And now It may be asked how the
German farmers were so much bright
er than the American farmers and be
came pioneers In this work. The fact
Is, the Oerman farmers originally were
not brighter than the American farm
ers; In fact they were not nearly so
bright. It Is only now when they are
operating under their effective eco-
nomlo systems that the Oerman farm
ers have become bright, M bright as
the American farmers 'and very much
brighter. In fact, they have become
the brightest farmers In all the world,
and because this happens to be the
case, let It be noted, It has rendered
Germany the strongest among the
great powers of the world
London, Nov. 16. Winston Spencer
Churchill, who has been the most se
verely criticised member of the gov
ernment and who has been held per
sonally responsible for the loss of
Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Crad
dock'a fleet In the Pacific, the de
struction by submarines of the Bi'itish
cruisers Cressy, Hogue and Aboukir,
the ill-fated Antwerp expedition and
the Initiation of the naval attack on
the Dardanelles, delivered a speech
in his own defense in the house of
commons following the resignation of
his post in the cabinet,
"I won't have It said," was hlsdra
matio assertion, referring to the Dar
danelles attack, "that this was a civ
ilian plan foisted by a political ama
teur upon reluctant officers and ex
perts." And this sums up his reply to all
his critics. In every case, he showed
that experts had counselled and .con
curred before any of the expeditions,
which had- been condemned, were un
dertaken, and It was clear, before he
had gone far, that the house of com
mons sympathised with him.
For months, Mr. Churchill has
lived under reproaches. His entrance
to the house yesterday was passed al
most unnoticed.' As he rose, his sup
porters gave him encouraging cheers.
Approbation increased in volume es
he answered one charge after an
other, and he concluded amidst a hur
ricane of applause, while members of
all political parties congratulated
him.
His references to Admiral Lord
Fisher, the former first sea lord, who
he said, had not openly opposed the
Dardanelles undertaking, were spok
en In firm tones of condemnation.
As to the dispatch of Rear Admiral
Cradock's squadron, he said he was in
full agreement with the experts and
advisers of that time Admiral Prince
Louis of Battenberg and Vice Admiral
Sir Frederick Sturdee and that the
dispositions were the best that could
be made in the circumstance.
The Antwerp expedition originated
with Lord Kltohener, the secretary
for war, and the French government
while the naval attack on the Dar
danelles had the full support of the
advisers at home and those on the
spot.
Both with regard to Antwerp and
the Dardanelles, Mr, Churchill went
a little further than merely produc
ing evidence that he had followed ex
pert advice. A month before the Ant
werp expedition was undertaken, he
said, he had advised with Premier
Asquith, Sir Edward Grey, the foreign
secretary and Lord Kitchener as to
the dangerous situation developing
then and the grave consequence to
admiralty interests that would result
from the loss of the fortress. "But,"
he added, "No action was taken."
As to the Dardanelles, before a na
val attack was undertaken, he offer
ed to provide transports for 40,000
troops from Egypt, but was 4nformed
that no troops were available and
that. If they were, they should not be
used , in Gallipoll. The naval attack
was endorsed by Vice Admiral Car
den, In command at the time; by ihe
war, council, which Lord Fisher et
tended, and by the French ministry
of marine.

K
SltltKtltt!lXltltltXl
If you will forswear the curling Iron
and follow the simple plan here sug
gested, you will be surprised beyond
words to see not only the beautiful
curl, but the soft fluffiness and live
ly lustre, your hair will acquire. The
plan merely to apply to the hair be
fore retiring, a little pure silmerlne
(In liquid form), using a clean tooth
brush for the purpose. The most ef
fective way Is to divide the hair. Into
strands, moistening each of them
separately from root to tip.
The delightful wavy effect in evi
dence in the morning will suggest to
any stranger that your hair is - "nat
urally curly." The effect will last a
considerable time and if you'll get a
few ounces of liquid silmerlne from
your druggist you will have a supply
for months. This, by the way, will
leave no sticky or greasy trace and
canuot harm hair or scalp in any
way. The hair will be quite manage
able at all times, no matter how you
do it up. ,
PROSPECT BRIGHT
SAYS MR. BRITT
Asked about ; western North Caro
lina's prospects for securing the civ
ilians' training camp. Congressman
James J. Brltt stated today -hat It
was hardly necessary for him to say
that he favored the proposition and
that he believed the camp will be lo-
oated here.. The represantative from;
tne tentn oistrict sam tnai ne nns
been working for such an encamp
ment in this section for several
months and that he will continue to
do so. . ..
The success of the military camp
last summer at Plattsburg has dem
onstrated the popularity of tho Idea
among citizens and nobody has any
doubt of the success of the camp (hat:
will, In all probability, be located In
or near Asheville.
DECISION IN MILEAGE '
BOOK CASE IMPORTANT
Non-Transferable Mileage Can
Be Used For Another If
Presented by Owner.
Washington, Nov. 167 Non-trans
ferrable railway mileage books sold
under condition that they will be for
feited If presented for transportation
by any other person than one to
whom it was Issued, may not be for
feited if the book Is presented by the
person himself for the transportation
of another person. The Supreme
court so held In the case of Samuel
j. uampocii, wno presented to a
Southern Railway conductor two non
transferable mileage book for trans
portation for himself and wife from
Greenville, 8. C. to Greensboro, N. C
The conductor declared the book for
feited.
Campbell recovered judgment for
137. against the railroad for the con
ductor's action.
"The forfeit condition does not hit
this case," says Justice Hughes." The
act of the South Carolina court In
giving judgment and holding the rail
road to strict terms of ths contract
does not deny the railroad any federal
right.
