Cheap Farm Loans by the
Government.

A very sensible bill has been sprung
in congress by Hulings of Pennsyl-
vania to provide for the loaning of
money to farmers from the United
States treasury. We are for anything
that will cut down the rate of interest
on loans This bill is along the lines
of the progressive movements adopted
in Great Britain, Germany. France
and Austria which are working so
powerfully to the advantage of the
agricultural interests and to the gen.
eral welfare. Not fewer than TWEEN
ty-five farmers may organize a cor
poration with at least S25.000 capital
somewhat after the provisions of the
National Bank Act and may then Sc
cure currency from the government at

payments arranged to afford ample
time and no squeezing. The subscrip-
tions taken pay ten per cent in cash
and in addition give their notes pay
able to trustees for the United States
for the amount of their subscriptions,
and these notes are secured by mort
cages on improved farm lands of an
assessed valuation of double the
amount of the mortgage. The associa-
ton then makes its note TO the secre-
tary of the treasury for the amount of
the capital stock and payable in in
stallments which when paid cancel the
association note with accrued three
per cent interest, and of course the
mortgage also. To provide funds the

Tie said It had been noticed TINT In.
the course of its growth the nut now

What ths Birds Say.

vVSs9S SssO DUSO O0ysf .S
Many birds notes are quite distinct
and sound like words that you know.
The robin seems to say: "Quick,
quick! Do you think-what you do.
do you thinkf'
The bobwhite says: "Bobbobwhite!
More-more-wet."
Then there is the bobolink. "Bob-0-
lee, bob-o-link, bobolink," is his call.
The thrush says, drop 1t, drop It.
cover it up. pull 1t up. pull it up"
The bluejay calls. Gay. Jay. jay.
wheedle, wheedle."
The cedar birds note is shorter.
'sTxe. TIE. tel"
The song sparrow is more laxative.
Says he, 20 lit, olit. chip chip che.
char, che wiss. wiss, wiss!'
Thus each small bird that visits the
neighborhood. either in passing or to
remain the season through. talks a
language that sounds nor or less like
English. although it's meaning in bird
land Is probably something quite diff
ferent.
