Bacteria in Public Baths. Electrolyzed sea water, poured into swimming pools in small quantities, has proved to be an effective sterilizer to be used in the fight against noxious bacteria. Its sterilizing action is so great, as experiment has shown, that thirty gallons will keep the water in an 85,000-gallon tank clear and free from bacterial organisms for’ several days. And the electrolyzed sea water costs only about $lO per 1,000 gallons. The need of such a sterilizer is shown by the fact that in a fresh-water pond of 100,000 gallons, used by 380 bathers, the bacteria have been known to increase from 500 to 342,000 per cubic centimeter (about 1-16 cubic inch) in one day.—Popular Mechanics.

THE LIGONIER BANNER. LIGONIER, INDIANA.

BUDDHIST CULT IN EUROPE b e g Monastery Recently Established in Switzerland Is Said to Create e a Precedent. ' What is said to be the first Buddhist monastery set up in Europe is that which not long ago was established in the canton of Ticino, in Switzerland, high above the village of Novaggio, overlooking Lakes Maggiore and Lugano. It is a curious circumstance that the founder of Buddhism in Switzer¥and should be not an Oriental,” but a German. A native of Wiesbhaden, he now bears the name ot Kikkhu Nyanatiloka. It appears that this devotee decided, at an early age, to renounce the vanities of the world, and that during the nine years of his seclusion in Ceylon he became absorbed in the study of Buddhism. In time he attained the rank of a bikkhu, or -priest, and received the name of Nyanatiloka, which means 'the man who possesses the wisdomn of the three worlds.” This priest was assisted in the organization of the monastery in Switzerland by a German co-religionist, by a priest from Durma, and by English and Dutch converts. Thus five men formed the first Buddhist brotherhood in Europe. All wear the traditional vellow robes of the Buddhist monks. Upon learning that the community would undertake no active propaganda, the Swiss authorities placed flO obstacles in their way. : -

SCIENCE OF HOTEL KEEPING Swiss Youth May Be Said te Have " Revolutionized Methods of the European Hostelries, ' Like many another mighty" enterprise the Ritz-Cariton hotels had a modest beginning, and the whole idea had its origination in the brain of a Swiss farmer boy, Cesar Ritz, whose’ father tilled a small holding. The son, however, had larger ideas. Taking up hotel work at the beginning in a very minor capacity, he developed a most wonderful sense of color, form and taste in every respect, and he brought the art of hotel keeping in Europe to a higher pitch than it had ever been before. Indeed he revolutionized hotel keeping in England and France, and that revolution has gradually shown its influence all over the world. Ritz's first enterprise was the Ritz %otel in Paris, which he started about 1897. The second venture was the Carlton hotel of London, and the next was the Ritz of London. In each of the many Ritz hotels already built, building, or planned for there is a separate local company which has furnished the bulk or the whole of the money, while the central organization, the Carlton Investing company, in all cases holds the common sto¢k and a controlling interest. In this way all the loeal companies arée made to work unitedly and in the interest of all. ~ Nursery Porcelain. Ungrateful, indeed, is the small child who has not an appetite for its meals, for nursery porceldin was never daintier. In addition to the wellknown Dutch and Normandy babies disporting themselves in blue, bright green or red garments upon a pure white or a pale gfeen background, are the loveliest of mugs, cups, porridge bowls and bread anc hutter plates in fine china, hand-painted with fiowers and animals. Then there are Japanese sets bearing small Orientals in flowered ‘kimonos and queer shoes, and Chinese potteries showing what manner of dishes the Chinese child eats out of. Among individual sets consisting of a milk bowl, a spoon and a bread rack are some very lovely outfits in finest Haviland china ‘banded and decorated with gold, and. in strong contrast to these are sets-in white French ware almost wholly covered with gayly-floweréd designs. Poor Charities. . There are charity societies, as all the world knows, that only give to the pboor a quarter—or a half-cent of every ‘dollar they take in, most of their subscriptions going for salaries to officers and investigators, for expensive rentals, etc. ~ P : Richard March, the charity expert of Denver, was condemning these charities. He said: o “A man’s wife shouted up to him the other day: “‘Don’t you think this blue overcoat with the strapped-in back is too new and fashionable, George, to give away? | “‘lt's the agent of the Alpha Incor-' porated Charities that’s at the door, isn’t it?" | 1 " ““Yes, dear.’. = “ ‘Then let the coat go,’ said George. ‘lt’'ll be old enough and old-fashioned enough before it gets to the poor dub that's shiyering for it now.’”

Indian Matrimony, Old and New. - - The matrimonial advertisements accepted by the Indian papers occasionally bring out the contrast between the old order of things and the new. Here, for example, is an invitation from a paper in. the Punjaub illustrating the old: “Wanted, a suitable match for a Sareen boy of thirteen of a highly respectable family. The girl must be between seven and eight years of age, and should be well connected.” By the side of this may be put an example of the other kind, an advertise-* ment inserted in the same paper by one Ram Singh Ray of Dharamsala: “My good friend, an educated,. young, possessing robust health, wealth and independent livelihocd, aged thirtytwo, bachelor, wants to marry a girl decorated with education, civilization and sound health; no distinction between Hindu castes.” ;

agriculture. It is not to the interest of New York and other great centers to see the small communities and the agricultural sectjigpAsd losing their wealth and importance. In the end it will

react upon them to their disadvantage. There seéms to me a real remedy for these small communities and also for agriculture. This remedy, which i 3 the mixing of industry with agriculture, is now being applied in many localities with satisfactory results. Industry and agriculture are hetter balanced in Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania than in any other states of the Union, and in these states there is no serious agricultural problem and we hear little complaint from the farmers. This mixing of industry

and agriculture is called by some decentralization of industry. ! ~ I would not suggest that manufacturing: institutions move from the cities to the small villages, but Ido think it would be better for this country for future industries to be placed in these small villages rather than to be further congested in the great centers. This woul? in part also be a solution of our labor problem. The bringing ot industries to small villages increases the market for agricultural products, gives employment to surplus labor, elevates the standard® of living, increases public revenue, reduces taxes and vastly increases educational facilities.

Ss e eet S THE BANKER-FARMER * There are several reasoms for the growth of the bankerfarmer movement in Pennsylvania, William S. MecKay, Chairman of the Agricultural Committee, Pennsylvania: Bankers Association, has reported to the Agricultural Commission of the American Bankers Association. The cooperation and leadership of the county agents in the several counties of the state; the appointment and functioning of county chairmen of agriculture known as Key Bankers, one of whom there is in each county of the stafe; and the organization of county bankers associations, whereby agriculture is given consideration by all the banks, are responsible for this’interest. The following table shows the activities for the year:

- : Number of Project - Counties Sent young farmers to state coilege for special course ...... B Encouraged farm 5h0w5....... 16 Held agricultural tours ....... 6 Spon€ored various club activities 38 Gave illustrated lectures on poultry, cow testing, and improved ‘farmoethody .o o 0 0 ..} Distributed purebred livestock, - chicks, and disease-free pota-. foey .. o o v il 13 “There i 8 probably mo class of busiaess men that has a greater opportunity for helpfglness than the bankers in this movement,” declares Mr. McKay. “It builds up a substantial community which makes for begter

mands the best thought of everyone. This country cannot continue along happy lines with only sections of the country prosperous. Prosperity must be passed around if anybody is long to enjoy it. This question cannot be solved by the farmers alone, but the majority opinion is that there is no legislative remedy for agriculture. It is an economic question pure and simple and must be worked out accordingly. S A few years ago it was contended that agriculture did not have sufficient -credit facilities. That proposition was often made a political question. Ido not presume there are many who will question the fact that agriculture now has ample credit facilities. Mixiné Farms and Factories It is a fact that no community and no state hz_is ever be_cor_ng:_ great purely from

ing. examples from my own state to prove this proposition, and I mention these because I am more familias with conditions there than elsewhere. Twelve years ago Kingsport, Ten nessee, had a population of about one thousand. Great . industries like a large camera company, a big cement plant and a number of other indus tries were located there partly through the influence of an outstanding New York business man. In a little more

than twelve years these have brought the population of that city up to seventeen thousand. Just a few miles away, at Elizabethton, they are building a great rayon plant, the first unit to cost $5,000,000. The population of ‘that town is now two thousand, but ‘it is estimated that this will be multi pligd by five in less than two years. It is stated that the total investment in manufacturing industry in that community within a period of five years will probably reach $50,000,000. The balancing of industry and agri culture will solve most of our so-called agricultural problems and we will not need such political measures as will in my opinion, do harm if enacted to the very class they pl‘eten_.d to benefit, ;

banking institutions; it adds to the material prosperity of our state, but above all, it is the expression of a service which will react favorably upon | the character of those interested.”

BANKERS HELP OUT "The Oklahoma Bankers Association for the past twelve years has financed through its five groups ten ‘schalarships in the A & M. College at Stillwater. The winners are chosen by the Extension Department of the college on the merits of the club work done by the boys and girls over a certain period of time. The groups of the association finance the first. year of the winner’s college work. ~ The president of a national bank in - Fayettesville; Arkansas; has Leen credited with doing more for the farmers of his section than any other one man, His work has consisted of introducing pure bred Holstein cattle into his county, helping employ a county agent, do- . nating prizes to boys and girls in club work, and distributing better sced. Here are some of the things accomplished in Randolph County, Ark., with the help of bankers last year: forty-three purebred gilts were bought at a reasonable price and placed with | boys and girls, on notes; three thousand eggs from high producing hens were distributed with the idea of developing flocks of at least one hundred hens. on every farm; four purebred Jersey bulls whose dams had a record of over 700 pounds butterfat, -have been purchased by the banks and will be paid for out of service fees. _.,.
