' Bf ' y. ; , THE COUNTRY DOCTOR f ? Mecklenburg county, N. C., wh'iclt * 4 includes the city of Charlotte, is now, ^ without a single doctor outside the ^ cities and towns. There are four coun- s ties in Massachusetts now without fi . fiy doctors. o There are several explanations for ^ this. One is changed living condi tions, including the building of good . ii > i roads and the use of automobiles and cj telephones. A physician may live in tl a city or town, keep a telephone and cl ^ ~{t : -; an automobile, and visit his patients 15 for miles around. ' p< But the real reason, perhaps, is C[ that the country doctor, as people ti used to know him, is passing. This is m ' a day of. specialization, with physi- cc cians as well as with everybody else. The general practitioner will soon be ' m a thing of the past In his stead there will be specialists in nervous diseases, I" stomach diseases, eye, ear and nose diseases, and so on. Indeed, we have to -? ^ almost reached that point nojv. TJ ? . r The physician who is not a special* ist in some particular disease must ^ be at least a diagnostician. He can -' tell you what is the matter with you, us c * and tell what specialist to consult, sy. ;VThe doctor who used to treat all dis- T* eases, and with fair success and, if need be, furnish all the * medicines ^ f, * needed, will soon be known to the ne world no more. fo Rnf v# rt/wi't. lrTirtw orViP+lipr f.lia tk) world yill ,be arty better off or not. *a ;/' t m ftyj SOME PLAIN TRUTHS.

Washington, Sept. 2.?Permanent agencies should be established to provide ^ credit, running from six months to three years, for farmers' poduction and marketing purposes to fill the gap between short and long credits furnished by existing banking systems, Chairman Anderson of the Congressional commission? investigating agricultural conditions declared today in a statement. There is "immediate, imperative and conclusive necessity of setting ui> permanent r * * nachinery," he said. . Tfhe. proposed credit, the statement (aid, must be of such character as toj :onform to the'^ fanners' turnover' rtd of sufficient flexibility to meethe varied requirement of different o&fities and different commodities, it. Anderson contended the credit hould be extended "for a time sufcient to enable payment to be made iit of the earnings of the farm, rithout frequent renewals which add > the expense of the borrower in ees and commissions. Declaring that machinery o{ suffi- , ient scope can be established only ( irough . federal legislation, the , laimnan held that once established, { should be self-sustaining, and i lould require no government sup- i >rt except possible for the initial j ipital required to put it in opera- ( on. A system established by such ( achinery, he continued, " must'be t rmprehensively enough to meet the ^ >quirement8 not only of the large ( rmer, borrower, but the small far- t er borrower with limited assets. 4 . > ' ; t. 1 'There aire two essentials of such r credit machine,* the statement a id. "The first essential is an agency $ deal directly with the farmers. ( iese agencies should be sufficient- t numerous to ipeet the , requireents of every locality, of every j mmodity of every farmer. Two i; encies now exist which might be ed as the point of contact of the stem with the farmer borrower. iese agencies are the commercial nks (State and National,) and the rm loan associations as now estaib- | hed under the farm loan act. A' | w agency might be created in the f rm of cooperative credit aesocia- f in, built upon lines similar to the f rm loan associations. r The second essential is an agency r lich can convert a large number of r all ofoligatons of the farmers into p art-time debentures or other ? sdit obligations, which can (be sold ? the investing pu/blic. In other irds, it is necessary to* have an ency through which the investing ? blic can be reached. I "The character o^'btfth agencies largely dependent upon whether it 1 proposed to have the debentures ? securities absorbed by the de- | jit pool, represented by the de- [ ?ts of the national and State J nks, and the liquid assets of the f intry, or by the investment pool, F >resenting the credit, ordinarily f ested in long time securities. s "There is, in my judgment, no ? ison why both pools cannot (be twn upon for the proper credit re- ; irements of the farmer. 'In setting up thie agency to deal I m ?uy wnn tne larmer borrower, j J is desirable to use the primary J dit.agencies already existing.and I re would seem to Ibe no reason I y it should not ibe possible to use I ;h the commercial ibanks (State | i national! and the farm loan as- J iations. J 'In like manner, in order to set | the agency to distribute farm J dit to the investing public, wheth- v IT) fVio ?" 1 " vuv ukviiu vi txic origins I ODIi- H ;ion or in the form of debentures jf other securities, it may be pos- 9 le to use (both the farm loan banks "I 1 the federal reserve banks." Jj Dn completion of its Inquiry, the ?| amission, Mr. Anderson predicted, U uld be alble to recommend to Con- U ss "a definite concrete plan," | ich, he added, would "compliment | credit facilities now offered J ough the farm loan and the feder- jj reserve systems," and "would jj e to the American farmer the J st comprehensive and flexible | JiA ??-1 * 1 ' uit system in tne world." 3 i LIBRARY HOU^S . | { Beginning Friday the Library will ! ;n at half after three in the after-'* >n during the winter months.
