DERRICK TALKS
OF RURAL CREDITS
Ambassador Says Farmers Mast
Build Co-Operative Baying: and
Selling: System.
CITES EXPERIENCE OF EUROPE
HOT SPRINQ9, Va., July 14. In
an address on "The Need of Rural
Credits" before the National Fertil
izer association convention here to
day Myron T. Herrlck, former am
bassador to France, urged as a rem
edy for whatever trouble exists In
"rural communities the establishment
of co-operative measures. Me as
serted that not one of the successful
systems In operation in this country
or in Europe owed its existence to
the Intervention of the government
and that agricultural progress was
not keeping pace with the expansion
of industry and population. A co
operative system, to be successful,
according to Mr. Herrlck, must be
built up' by the farmers themselves
without assistance.
Mr. Herrlrk begun big address by de
claring that the American farmers, hav
ing availed themselves of information
and experience had become the most
capable In the world, but that In spite of
this agricultural progress here Is not
keeping pace with the expansion of In
dustry and the growth of population.
Ornnlipd Baring and SrlllnK.
"The causes of these shortcomings," he
continued, "are manifold. The want of
good roads Is one and the absence of
social pleasures Is another cause. But
the greatest of alt Is, In my opinion, the
lack of organised selling and purchasing
power.
"Organized selling and purchasing
power la best attained through co-operation.
Co-operative organisation of farm
ers was so remarkably successful from
Its start over fifty years ago In Germany
that bankers, merchants, statesmen and
students soon acknowledged Hs wonderful
benefits.
"Co-operation must be built up by the
farmers themselves by starting at the
grass roots and depending on their own
resources and efforts, first assembled and
combined In basic units or local co-operative
banks of credit societies.
"A rural co-operative bank takes the
place to some extent of the country
store. It posesaes general banking pow
ers, bjt delimits Its area, restricts 1U
operations to agricultural projects; con
fines its credit facilities to members and
borrows, If possible, only from or
through the system to which it belongs.
Thus It devetes Its reaouroes exclusively
to the agricultural good of Its Immediate
neighborhood and provided laws are
properly drawn It la protected from
speculative ventures and from becoming
exoesslvtly a debtor to the outside world.
It may be either a joint stock company
or a pure asoclatlon like a savings bank.
Works for Benefit of All.
"The rural co-operative bank works
for the Individual good through the com
mon good of Its members. The main use
of the funds la to buy farnv supplies in
bulk at wholesale to retail to members
at a lowor price, or on better terms
than they could obtain for themselves If
each were standing alone.
"Tho rurai co-operative bank exacts
fair interest for its loans or credit; also
It exacts adequate prtoas and compensa
tion for the supplies it sells and the ser
vice it renders.
"Government aid is the rock against
which the rural credits movement has
been dashed Particularly Is this the
case with land credits. The bills which
have received the most attention in con
gress provide for state aid, tax exemp
tions and specllal privilege to such a
pronounced degree that if any of them
become a law It would set farmers apart
as a class by themselves to bo pampered
and spoonfed at public expense and aa a
consequence it would bring down upon
them the enmity of all other classes."

NOT EEADY TO GIVE DETAILS
Takes Poison and
Gives Some to His
Little Daughter
Into the history of Edward Smith, horse
trader living at St. Joseph, Mo., the
Omaha police will delve today. He at
tempted suicide last night at the home
of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Anna Martin,
C40 South Nineteenth street, by swallow
Ing aomo iodine. He also gave some of
the polnon to his 4-year-old daughter, his
mother-in-law told the police.
Police Surgeons Zlmmerer and Phillips
attended both and when they were out
of danger, Smith was taken to head
quarters under arrest.
Mrs. Martin says Smith's real name Is
Adolph Von Doeh, but that he married
her daughter in a little Iowa town five
years ago under the name of Smith.
They became estranged several months
ago, and Mrs. Smith, or Von Doch, re
turned to her mother's home here, and
her husband went to St. Joseph. Mrs.
Smith retained their child.
He came here to effect a reconciliation
last night, but Instead, they quarrelled
again, and the poison episode followed.

WASHINGTON, July 14. Mobili
sation of the Inventive genius of the
country to aid in working out naval
problems as 'proposed by Secretary
Daniels was widely discussed today
by officials of both the army and
nary and the selection of Thomas A.
Edison as head of the civilian advis
ory board met with unanimous ap
proval. Mr. Edison having consented to take
up the task presented to him as a pa
triotic duty. Secretary Daniels now la
preparing to Invite others among noted
inventors and technical experts to Join
In the work. He would not say yes or
no to a dosen names suggested to hlra,
declaring he would make known tho
other members of the advisory board only
after their acceptance had been received.
"Aa I stated In my letter to Mr. Edison,"
said the secretary in a statement Issued
tonight, "I am not aa yet prepared to an
nounce the full details of the plan; these
must be worked out In conference with
the various bureaus and the details per
footed so a to Insure successful opera
tion.", Some of Names SnKgrested.
Among the names suggested to Mr.
Daniels aa possible members of the new
board were those of Charles P. Stain
mats, one of the world's authorities on
electrical engineering; Hudson Maxim,
inventor and maker of guns and explo
sive); Orville Wright, one of two brothers
who led the world In aeroplane flights;
Simon Lake, submarine Inventor; Lewi

and , Griffin the secretary today sought
opinions aa to how hi plan could be
given the greatest value. He will discuss

advisory council when it meets next
Thursday.
Law In the Way.
Attention waa called today to an act
of congress prohibiting tbe acceptance by
the government of voluntary services. As
there is no provision for remuneration for
the proposed board. It waa suggested that
the law might prove an obstacle and re
quire a specific authorisation by congress.
Mr. Daniel said he had not examined
the law, but he thought It would be pos
sible to avoid conflict with It. "I can
ask advice of whom I please," he said.
"It Is not necessary there ahould be
definite and legal organization."
The bulk of the work in testing new
devices and reviewing suggestions must
fall upon the department itself, the secre
tary explained, and for 1 that reason he
contemplate the creation of a bureau of
invention and development to which the
civilian experts will be an advisory board.
What officer will head thla bureau has
not been disclosed, but the name of Rear
Admiral Bradley Fiske, attached to tbe
naval war college, but now on special
duty In Washington, was insistently
mentioned In departmental gossip.

Facing U.S. Farmers

WASHINGTON, July 14. With a ferti
lizer famine threatening American farm
ers, as a result of the cutting off of sup
plies of German potash, officials of the
State and Commerce departments have
undertaken to arrange for the develop
ment by American capital of a potash de
posit recently discovered In southern
Spain.
A concession contract from the Span
ish government already has been laid
before interested firms who are expected
to act shortly. The world supply of
potash has been dominated by a German
combination controlled by the imperial
government, which since the war began
has declined to release exports. Three
cargoes of the product already loaded on
ships for the United States and paid for
In advance have been held up In German
ports for several months.
American commercial representatives
abroad recently directed attention to the
Spanish deposits which are near Barce
lona, with the Information that capital
for their development was not available
In Spifln.
Experts of the Department of Com
merce have investigated several possible
sources of a supply In the United States,
but none has been found that offered
commercial possibilities.

I have the great mass of the American
people with me. That does not mean that
the American people will not fight If it
should become necessary. If war ahould
come there would be all the volunteers
that could be used, but until that time
comes the people have the rlg'.it to dis
cuss the causo of war.
"As soon aa the Spanish-American war
broke out 1 was one of the first to offer
tny services and did not leave the army
until the war closed. I am the only de

ever Offered his services to the man who

discard forever the standards of honor
of the duotlft.
