Facts About That Loan.

MANY misstatements of fact about
the huge credit Great Britain and
France are seeking to establish in
the United States have been made by
both the advocates and the oppon-
ents of the loan. Not cent of money
;would be taken out of the country.
The loan would settle, at least for a
time, the foreign exchange problem.
It would insure this country selling
goods of one kind or another to the
allies to the amount of the credit
The government would in no manner
be involved in the matter, unless the
comptroller should alter the rule
limiting the amount any national
bank may lend to single borrower
to tenth of it's capital stock or
the federal reserve banks should re-
discount some of the paper. Whether
the credit is used to purchase NUM-
tons of war or not is immaterial, ex-
cept to sentimentalists. After the big
loan is made, if it be made, another
one will likely follow, participated
in by bankers or capitalists who have
no scruples as to how the proceeds
are spent. Some of these conditions
have been misrepresented by Oppon-
ents of the loan, says the Globe
Democrat.
lBut.the Misrepresentation has not
been all on one side. The widely
published statement that the bonds
would be first mortgage upon the

Washington, b. c., Sept. 2S.-Vet-
Grams of the Civil War, here for the
annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, were formally
welcomed to the capital tonight by
President Wilson, who told them
their battles of fifty years ago were
fought that the greatest instrumental
ity for the uplift of mankind the
world has ever seen might not be i'm
paired
: The president spoke amid scenes
of patriotic feryor. Col. David j.
Palmer, of Iowa, commander in chief
of the G.. A. r. introduced him amid
thunderous applause and cheering
and informed him that the veterans
stood solidly behind the administra-
tons conduct of the present day for
eign problems, and that their sons
would support him in any step he
might take. Applause frequently in
terrupted the president. He did not
touch directly on the European war,
Or on problems growing out OF it,
but devoted his address to the mis-
sion of the United States and the les
sons taught by the Civil War.
The meeting marked the formal
opening Of the Grand Army encamp-
ment, a feature of which will be the

merely an unsecured debt of honor,
whose payment would depend solely
on ability and disposition of the Dor
rover. There are no mortgages on
nations or states and there could be
no way to foreclose them. A nation
cannot be sued, except with it's own
consent, and payment Of judgment
against it procured in it's own court
of claims, depends on the willingness
of the representative body to make
the appropriation. The United States
has always paid its debts, although
the "greenbackers" fought resump-
ton of specie payment in 1879. Elev-
en- of our states have repudiated
debts, two of them twice. Since the
adoption of the eleventh amendment
to our constitution no one can col
lect debt against any state without
it's consent Great Britain and France
will pay their bonds when they fall
due if the particular governments
then in existence are solvent and
honest. But these bonds are legal
ly but debts of honor. We are asked
to give large unsecured credit to
going concerns which may need bill
lions more before they get out Of
their present difficulties. We would
feel safer if Great Britain and France
traded bonds for American securities
held by their subjects and offered
such securities as basis of credit
Then we could sleep well, without
worrying over how the battles are

Five Hundred Dollar Land. I,

In Iowa and in neighboring states
there has been much discussion OF
late oyer the possible limit of the
price of land in these most favored
sections of the country. The opinion
is freely expressed that the best of
the land is going to reach $500 per
acre. The $500 point has been reach
ed here and there. The fact is point
ed out that in some parts Of Europe,
where land is scarce and where in.
tense cultivation is the rule, $500
per acre is not considered an unus-
ual price. And with modern means
of transportation, there is no good
reason apparent why an acre of land
should not be worth just as much In
Iowa as anywhere in Europe.
And SO it is, when and where it
will produce as much. 1t all depends
upon what the. farmer can get out of
the land, and that again depends to
a large extent upon what he gives
back to the land. There is much talk
of intensive farming. OF course, that
very high. But it pays. On the 9TH
er hand, the best land in Iowa and in
Illinois, and in the other great agri-

to become relatively scarce. Hence,
while some land in cur own state
may be selling or held at $500 per
acre before we shall have grown
much oder, there will be much land
in Iowa, that will be hunting buyers
at such prices and that will be the
land that has been practically ruined
by tenants, who got everything pos
sible out of the land and gave moth
ing in return. This evil is receiving
some attention at the present time,
but as long as the owner can get
big cash rental for his farm, he is
not going to realize the fact that his
farm is being ruined. When the days
of the $500 land arrive, it will be
the farmer who has given them the
best of care and attention, who will
be able to get that price for his
land The land owner who knows
nothing beyond the highest rent for
his land will awaken to the fact that
his policy has been running his own
property But it will be too late
then. And the land owner who rents
his farm is fastening the day when
the real farmer will get $500 per
acre for his land right here in Iowa.

Waste of Words.

The gifted statesman makes a
speech; we hear him rumble, growl
and screech for weary hours togeth-
er; we murmur, as the moments pass,
Ellis lungs are surely made of brass,
his larynx is of leather" In order
to express a thought he springs five
miles of tommyrot, of words that
have no bearing; and how he hates
to cease to spout! He cannot see
he's wearied out his audience de-
spairing. When will our public speak
ers learn that brevity will always
earn the gratitude of hearers? Let
speeches all be shorn of CUFF, until
they are Just short enough, and we
will bless the shearers. No long ora
ton is a treat; a man may have a
voice as sweet as hooking birds or
linnets, but he becomes dreary bore
is he is elocuting more than twelve
or fifteen minutes. Condense, my
friends; again, condense; don't let
the words outweigh the sense, in
speeches or in writing; boil down
your lecture or your screed, and all
the folks who hear or who read will
find your work inviting.-Walt Ma

Detectives and Other Detectives.

Psychologists, doctors, judges and
other learned men of distinction have:
long agitated and cogitated over the
perplexing question of what to do
with our defectives?' ~.
A defective, according to Webster,
is person who is of vicious or GRIM
inal inclination, but without moral re-
sponsibility, and this is the class to
whom our men and women of brains
have been devoting their attention
for so many years.
But isn't there another class of de-
fectives-a defective who is morally
responsible?,
What of the man who beats his
wife?
What of the man who cruelty mis-
uses his horse, or the one who in a
rage aims vicious kick at the dog or,
the cat?
What of the man who makes slurr-
ing remarks of respectable women
and girls?
What of the man who ISLANDERS, and
! lies, and secretly undermines your
business, and seeks to destroy your
reputation among your fellow men?
What of the man who is surly, and
|
| without provocation?
What of the man of intellect who
steals million, and of the poor devil
who lifts chicken?
What of the office seeker who buys
votes, and of the cuss who sells his
franchise?
| What of the merchant who cheats
and gives short weight, and sells
goods that are not as represented?
| What of the doctor who "drags' a
case that he may extract large fee
from one in distress?
What of the public official who
prostitutes his Office to his personal
gain?
What of the preacher who is syco-
phantic with the rich and sees not
the poor?
What of the automobile driver who
runs over dogs and chickens, and
leven children, through recklessness
and a disregard for the rights Of
| others?
What of the gossip, whose tongue
lis coated with the poison of scandal,
1 and lies, and instinuations, and tale

ishness?
What of the thousands am one

Ears should be Of medium size. not
too long nor too short. II they are
too long they are likely to mature
late; II they are too short, they will
mature too early and will not produce
as large a quantity of corn. Ears
which are too large around are late
maturing and are likely to have too
much cob; while ears which are too
slender will not yield large amount
of corn.
Now We know what sort Of an ear
is best for seed, but why should We
select It SO early and why gather It
from the field? This is 90 We may
select as seed, corn which natures
early. In short seasons, when the
frosts come late In the spring or early
{ In the fall, late maturing corn will
not ripen for seed. We should have
corn which we are sure will ripen be-
fore the frosts. You understand, OF
course, that IL frost touches the corn
before it ripens, the germ may be de-
stroyed and this corn will not grow.
When It is late enough 80 that all

which ears ripened early; 30 we Will
