SENATOR LUNT WOULD
REDUCE INTEREST

Senator Henry w. Lunt, chair
man of the committee on high
ways and public lands. has in
troduced bill in the senate
which. if passed, will mean
much to the farmers in the way
of saving them money.
Senator Lunt holds to the
opinion that farmers who are
paying for lands purchased from
the state are paying the state
too much interest on deferred
payments. The present law
provides that 8 per cent interest
be paid by the farmers to the
state on deferred payments.
Senator Lunt proposes to reduce
the rate of interest on such
payments to 5 per cent.
Until two years ago the rate
of interest on deferred payments
on lands purchased from the
state was 5 per cent. Two years
ago it was urged that the state
should receive the same interest
for deferred payments as is re-
ceived by private individuals,
but the result has shown that il
works hardship on many farm
ers who are opening homes,
which in itself is benefitting to
the state.

GOOD STORY WITH A MORAL
Excellent illustration Showing That
Nobody Amounts to Much Who
Doesn't Hustle.

There was q large Thomas cat that
had its habitation In a store. the To-
peka Capital says. It was reported to
be fine blooded animal from q family
Of distinguished rat destroyers. The
cat was beauty and everybody round
the store took q turn at furnishing
grub suited to the taste of q blooded
cat.
1t was observed. however. that there
was no reduction OF the rat or mice
population. and the proprietor Of the
store commenced to inquire into the
reason why. He first tried the cat on
a rat that had been caught In a trap,
but the feline. expressed no interest or
animation. He looked at the rat and
then walked away. The storekeeper
was disappointed, but not entirely dis
couraged. He thought perhaps that
cat'b speciality was mice, and as he
had a mouse or two that had been
caught alive In trap. he turned them
loose In front Of the cat. but II paid
no more attention to them than a
sheep would do to q rare done beef
steak.
Il think" said the storekeeper, that
! am onto this situation. will fire the
next employee who gives that cat any
thing to eat" For two days the
Thomas cat did good deal Of bowling
and wore look Of injured innocence.
He felt that he had been wronged, and
was ready to start an instruction. but
as that didn't seem to get him any
where, he turned loose on the rats and
mice In way that was surprising.
The second day after this change Of
programme the rats held a convention
to consider what ought to be done.
When the leading orator among the
rats arose, he said: Fellow rats, this
Is no time for talk. What we want to
do is to move. That cat hasn't any
more natural ability than he had be-
fore, but he has concluded that he
either has to hustle or starve, and I
have discovered that when a cat gets
In that frame Of mind his neighbor-
hood is no place for rats"
Many men and women, as well as
cats. have never amounted to whoop
just because they never had to hustle.
