Farm Finance.

Among the first things to be
considered by Congress s tn is
month will be the Farm Finance
question. During the past year
the News has been telling its read
ers that many farm finance plans
had been laid before that body,
and that men had been sent to
foreign countries to study rural
banking systems in vogue, espec-
tally in Germany, and under gov
ernment supervision.
We do not know what system
will eventually be adopted, but
can say this much: farm mortga-
ges, and similar farm papers are
not now legal tender" at banks
although such paper embodies
the highest type security, and
that some system will be evolved
from the mass of matter now in
the hands of our Congressman,
whereby farmers can get money
on terms of equal footing with
manufacturers, railroads, or cor
porations requiring long time
credit.

Fine Christmas Number.

Ed A. Buckley has a large
store at Crook, Colorado, and is
doing a landoffice business. There
not being a newspaper in his i'm
mediate locality, and having faith
in printers ink, he started a small
advertising sheet called Buckley's
Store News. The fact that he
has been getting it out regularly
for a year or more, and that il
has grown in size and general
appearance, and taken on adver-
tising for farmers and others is
an evidence that Ed did not make
mistake. The Christmas num-
ber, printed in three colors, is a
dandy folio and would be a credit
to a regular print shop. We
know some business men that
think money wasted that is spent
for advertising; then, there are
others that do not. Those that
do advertise, are mighty glad
that their competitors do not.

Goats Give Much Milk.

A family living in Los Angeles
California, and not able to keep
a cow in the city, decided to try
a Swiss goat. Finding that the
price 1926 to $50) for matured
animals was more than they could
pay, they bought a kid, which
they raised. For several months
after the goat became fresh for
the first time it gave three quarts
of milk daily. When it again be-
gan to give milk, half of the sup
ply was permitted to go to the
goats three kids until they were
six weeks old, when they were
then weaned, and for five months
the family enjoyed a supply of
one gallon of milk equal in rich
ness to Jersey milk except that
the cream was a little harder to
separate. The cost of feed for
one year was Goo pounds of alfal-
ia hay and a liberal allowance of
fresh beets-the latter growing
all the year in that climate.

Any wife cursed with a lazy

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
COLONEL BLOOD, CROWN
STEALER.
BY A. w. MACY.

One day In 1870 a country
clergyman, his wife and q
nephew visited tho Tower Of
London and wero shown tho
usual slshts by tho keeper.
While viewing tho royal regalla
the lady fell suddenly III, and
was taken to tho keepers llv-
Ing room, where she quickly ro-
covered under the kindly minis
tratIons Of the keepers wlfe
and daughter. This was tho be-
ginning Of an Intimate friend
ship between the two families,
and Of love affair between
the nephew and tho keepers
pretty daughter. Some tlmo
afterward the clergyman, tho
nephew and a third man went
to the Tower to complete ar
rangements for the wedding.
The third man had never seen
the royal regalla, so the keep
or took the party to SEQ II. As
he was lifting II out Of tho
chest he was seized and gagged
by two Of the men, while tho
third made off with the crown.
The alarm was given, and the
thieves wero captured and tho
crown recovered Just outside
the gate. The clergyman"
proved to be Col. Thomas Blood,
a noted outlaw, and the others
his accompllces. II was never
publicly known what Blood In
tended to 60 with the crown,
or why King Charles granted
full pardon to all engaged In tho
robbery.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
THREE REGlclDEs IN AMER
lCA.

When Charles I. Of England
was tried "for high crimes and
mlsdemeanors," slxty.seven men
sat as judges. or these, fifty
eight signed tho death warrant.
After Charles u. became king,
tho House Of Commons ordered
that the reslcldes be brought to
trial. Twenty-four Of them were
dead, but they were tried Just
the same, and condemned. or
those living, twenty-nlne were
tried and condemned to death,
Of whom ten were executed. Six
teen escaped and went Into ex-
lie. OF these, three came to
America and ended their days
here. General William Goffe
and his father-In-law, General
Edward WhalIey, lay In hiding
at New Haven for three years.
Then they went to Hadley, Mas
sachusetts, and probably died
there. Colonel John DlxwelI,
another reglclde, came to New
Haven In 1865, and lived there
I'LL his death, In 1859. Tlmo
and again tho crown officers
searched for these men, but
were never able TO find them,
owing to the vigilance Of their
friends. For many years a her
nit living near Narragansett
was believed to be one Of tho
escaped reolcldes, but Il was
never proven.

Paper Garments.

London, which recently announced
the discovery of economical ways of
making artificial rubber, is the scene
of experiments in paper clothing. Pa
per garments have been made and
worn as curiosities, but they were
pasted together and they did not
commend themselves to a climate
where rain falls from time to time
Paper napkins, towels and handker-
chiefs have been offered to the pub
lie, but their introduction has been
slow. They do not look enough like
the articles they are designed to re-
place. Paper garments will not dis
place cotton and linen until they re-
semble them in texture. That is the
promising feature of the London ex-
periments. 1t is said that a process
has been perfected whereby paper
can be produced that will deceive
the eye and pass for cotton or linen
fabrics and will hold buttons, seams
and buttonholes. The inventors
hope to be able to produce garments
that will cost no more than the price
for laundering. However, cotton
planters are unlikely to take alarm
for the present.-Chattano News.
