Agricultural Co-Operation recently discussed tion e. with officials of the local Raiffeissen bank at and ho Krems, Austria, operations of the institution. United The typical Raiffeisen bank, of which the in- would stitution at Krems is a fairly good type, is man- be req aged by a board of supervision, ani executive guaral committee of which the chairman is president theory of the bank, a book-keeper and a cashier. In to be. the bank of this town the chairman of the board assess of supervision is a farmer, the president is a of the small mannfacturer, the book-keeper is the seems town priest, and the cashier is a government bank pensioner. These officials were present at the his pi meeting of the American Commission. has ni The operations of the bank covers rather a gage, larger territory than is the case with most Raif- safegi feissen banks which consider a restricted terri- are st tory a guarantee of safety. Seven small farm- liabili ing communities are included in the sphere of the a' operations of the bank. It was started by 30 eial farmers in 1893 as a result of the propagandist c work of the semi-official farmers' associations unlin of the country. Each member of the bank was Ever required at the time of admission to purchase sible one share of about $4.00 value. More shares of th may be purchased, but no member has more soonf than one vote in the management of the bank, the i no matter how large his share-holding may be. fare At the present time there are 357 members of whe :. the bank, and its share capital amounts to 7,140 cons crowns (about $1,428) which shows that no act member has purchased more than one share of at capital stock. It receives deposits both from that members and non-members of the bank, and competes with other savings institutions for de posits. At the present time it is paying 4 per tion cent on deposits and although other banks are as paying a little more, the Raiffeissen institution has notfound it necessary to increase its inter- busm Set rate, since the cgnfidence of the people in cial the strength of thee institution ',cadsts them to -{ .. continue placing their deposits there even if the other banks offer a larger interest. Kr The Krems bank is affiliated with a centra rat: . cooperative bank with which it places most of its surplus-and reserve funds which it does not require for loans to members. It enjoys a credit with this central bak and if in'need in could depend upon it for ,finds, but at the pres- the S-ent time the local bank is' in excellent condi central bank a surpltis of $5,540. It also owns u its own building which cost $6,660. Its reserve fay now amounts to $2,668.. It has in deposits.: no: $101,400, and outstanding loans of $91,400. . This seems a, large turnover and yet the profit In of the bank last year was only $63.20, of which $57 was used to pay dividends on the capital and the remai]ider was carried to the reserve. ai - No more than 4 per cent is ever paid in divi But the true work of the bank is seen inwhat w it does for the farmers. Money rates are now" " high all over Europe because of war scares. The di rate of discount of the Government bank of ti SAustria is 6 per cent and the ordina'~ry commer- le . mercial rate isabout one per cent above that, h SBut in spite of this unusually high rate for E ,;;. money the bank at Krems continues to make ti 2! ..loans to its mIembers at 4.75 per, cent--1.25 t ,pe : cent below tile government rate of discount, a i.-:. It can afford to do this because it has built up . confidence among its depositors and receives ' sufficient funds at 4 percent to finance itsmem- I bers. Also its expensesare so small that it. -ii can conduct its business ona margin of: only S.75 r cent,-that'is, it pays 4 per cent on de $ post and charges 4.. 5 for loans. No member I of the bank receives compensation for his work except the cashier. The bank is open for busi ness only one day in-the week, when applica tions fo÷ r loans are received and, deposits are ac cptepd. However, the bank is enterprising, and does not let the other six days slip by without : reminding the vllage folk that deposits are de sirable. Collectors are sent around for deposits i-i and savings banks are distributed to employ the - ua catch'r methods of soliciting accounts for Chrtmas, fora certain birthday;, and the other purposes similar to those 'advertised in Ame SThe loans are extended to farmers generally on peona security. Each year the general " :assembly ixes the maximum of credit which may be extended to each individual member aec . cording to th standing and apparent assets of - the member. -Loans are generally made for.. oe ye. tho with the special consent of the board of supervision they may be extended to o years.

Heloha was chief of the tribe living along its bank. A huge alligator, which the Indians had named "Tchefuncta" or "Chincka pin" on account of :e bumps on its hide, which looked like hazel nets--caught Tofaape, the lit tle son of Heloha, `way from the bank and ate him. Heloha offered the hand of his daughter to'the chief who .ould kill the alligator. The young chief Inhulata baited a trap and caught and killed the alligator, taking as his reward the daughter'.of the chief. Bayou Lacombe r "Squeezing" Bayou was the camping place f Walohaha and his tribe, when he was young He was a brave and good leader. 'He taughi is people peace. One day he shot a snake thit had a toad in his mouth. The grateful toad ~'asked .Walohaha what he wished for most. T Valohaha asked for a medi cine that would kee his people in good health and would cure the fever they were suffering t from every spring. The toad showed him many , herbs and roots and he said that when they were le boiled and the pieces squeezed to pour the juice ai into the springs, and there would be no more si sickness. From that time there was no more sickness in the tribe of Walohaha. To-day there are many powerful medicinal spring along c Bayou Lacombe. Pearl River--Helonia was the queen of the t tribe living along the banks of this river. She t allowed no one to hunt or fish there. Prince I Kwanaka came from the hills with a party i hunting bear and deer. When captured and I brought before Helonia, she condemned them to death unless they brought her a necklace of beads, each bead to have the color of the rain bow. While Kwanaka, was bemoaning his fate, a little brown lizard came and begged for food. Kwanaka fed it a fly. The. little lizard then told him to go and search the clam shells of the river for the beads. This he did and soon had the beauties for the queen, who was so over joyed that ihe married Kwanaka.-Item. LATESTNVS. STATE, NATIONAL Ab FOREIGN 1 STATE NEWS. S. .Y.
