system whereby the same class OF persons may
borrow reasonable sums on real estate security
and repay the loans in any number of monthly
or weekly payments extending over period
of ten or twelve years.
The Rural Credit installment saving plan
permits deposits in any sum at any time, in
stead of fixed sums at stated times thus Civ

The Rural Credit installment loan plan gives
the farmer and farmer folk convenient place
to borrow working capital at a reasonable in
terest rate, without commission, and permits
the repayment of such loans at odd times and
in odd amounts whenever they find it most
convenient to do so within twenty years
AS safeguard against making bad" loans
that is, overloaning-the law restricts build
ing and loan associations to the county wherein
the association is located. This restriction is
considered wise because ninety-nine per cent
of all the building and loan associations in the
United States are strictly local because prop
erty values will be conservatively safe; and
because loans can be made without the service
of agents, thus saving commissions and min
imizing the cost of making loans.
Kansas now has fifty-nine local building and
loan associations located in thirty-three coun-
ties. Every good, live county-seat town ought
to have one, and will have one as soon as the
benefits of such institutions are understood and
appreciated in rural communities Working

cerely hope that some day American farmers
will pretty generally be home-owners The
home is the unit of society and American
homes are stones in the foundation that sup

NORMAL CONDITIONS

 AMSTERDAM, Feb. 12-Advices from Brussels say life there has be- come almost normal, and Sundays find the usual crowds in the cafes and on the boulevards. Only a few Ger man troops remain in the city Ger man postage stamps are now sold in the post offices, and the names of the railroad stations and public buildings have been Germanized Some classes of municipal officials have been com pelled to sign contracts which make them German subjects for a period of six months.
 Most of the shops are open. but money is scarce. The trops pay cash for everything they buy. German commercial travellers are busy offer ing their wares to the shopkeepers.

RUM DOLEO OUT
 ID MEN IN TRENCHES

| (By Associated Press Correspondence
 LONDON, Feb. PA daily ration of rum Is still part of the regular sup plies of British soldiers in the actual | fighting line, but it Is doled out under the head of medicine" and the quan. tity allowed Is only three tablespoon. fuls with rations for two days. This small ration of alcohol was considered indispensable by the army | physicians" writes a correspondent | to the Liverpool Post. They consid- cred it necessary that the soldier ex. posed to the cold for hours in the trenhces, should have some stIlnulant available, and experience taught that the drop of rum, taken either straight or in his tea, was the thing"
 In some quarters fears have been expressed that the distribution of an alcoholic stimulant to the soldiers might lead some Of the men to form permanent habits of drinking. but army leaders replied that the quantity handed out was too small to justiby any such fear, and moreover, it is given to men only when they are act ually in the front lines or in exposed positions on outposts duty.
 As a matter of fact, everything is done to ensure the sobriety of the troops. When the armies are either advancing or retreating through a town all the saloons are closed. and the same measure is taken wherever the troops are in occupation of a town.
 Old campaigners declare that their daily spoonful of rum is a safeguard against certain diseases, such as cholera.
 As a matter of fact, notwithstanding the army's purchase of rum, the to. tai importations of this beverage have fallen off more than half since the beginning of the war. Importers ex. plain this by saying that the rum makers in Jamica and the West In dies are not making as much as form erly, because a greater profit Is to be realized just now from the sale of sugar, although the price of rum has advanced about seventy per cent.

TERMS OF PEACE
 MUST BE PLAIN

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 COPENHAGEN, Feb 12-The de- mand that the terms of peace, when made, shall be in plain language which the common people of the var- ous countries can understand is voiced by Herr von Heyebrand, lead CT of the Conservative party in Ger many, in an address which has just reached Germans here. Von Heyde- brand is quoted as saying:
 "It Is a matter of wonder to many how it has become possible for Ger many to be so alone in the world, and there is a feeling that German dip lomatic ability could have been more prounced. When the terms of peace come to be considered, We shall not all low these terms to become involved in a sort of complicated diplomatic art, but they should be put into Ian guage which the common people can understand and are agreed upon"

BIRDS GIVE WARNING
 APPROACHING BATTLE

(By Associated Press Correspondencel
 LONDON, Feb. 12-Folks on the East Coast have no need of lookouts to warn them of battle in the North Sea. Even when they can not hear the gun-hring they have auguries of the battle in the pheasants, in which the country thereabout abounds.
 Hours before the people of London were aware of 1t, many East Coast residents knew there had been an en- gagement on the morning of Sunday, Jan. "A. Almost immediately firing had begun the pheasants made a great stir and fuss, and those old residents able to read the signs realized that the sensitive birds were aware of dis. tant cannonading. Similar demon strations by the birds had been made on previous occasions.
 The Rev. w. NJ. L. Evans, writing from Saxby Rectory, Lincolnshire, of the East Coast, say: '1t may be of interest to Admiral-Sir David Betty to know that large portion of the population of this remote parish, in spite of the censor, knew all about his doings on Sunday morning at an early hour.
 Our worthy clerk met me with me announcement, There be rare goings on in the North Sea. the morn.
 Why" I inquired.
 The pheasants is all over the place with their fuss,'" was the reply many villagers" adds the Rector confirms his statement as to the ex cited condition of the birds"
 The London Times, investigating | the matter, finds that pheasants else where along the coast have displayed the same uneasiness during naval en agreements. Their sensitive organism catches the faintest distant tremors when the human ear is not disturbed

YOUNG MAN WINS AID
 IF WOMEN

(By Associated Press Correspondence
 WELLINGTON, New Zealand. Feb. 12-The prohibition movement, which this year was aimed at the suppression of the entire manufacture, importa- tion and sale of liquor in New Zea- land, suffered a loss of 6O,00O votes as compared with previous campaigns when the issue was for lesser forms of expressions.
 Aside from this a remarkable fea- ture of the recent elections was a political comedy in which the native women, or brown-skinned Macris, in North New Zealand, succeeded in sending Tau Tenare, a man of their race, to Parliament, where he holds the balance of power. Tenare had not originally been a candidate, but was unexpectedly put forward by self-appointed committee of women in defiance of the male politicians, and by virture of the femine vote he beat seven other candidates by 200 plur- ality. The Morris women frankly ad- init it was largely because Tenare was young and handsome that they thrust greatness upon him.
 The successful Maori is keping both parties guessing as to his political complexion. If he sides with Premier Massey, the head of the Reform party now in power, the government will have Al votes, but if he supports Sir Joseph Ward leader of the opposition as it is said he proposes to do each party will have forty votes, in deadlock over the election of a speak CT for the House. Efforts have been made to smoke out" this Maori Adonis but they have been in vain.

FEW TRAITORS TO COUNTRY THIS
 w WAR
By Associated Press Correspondence

(By Associated Press Correspondence) PARIS. Feb. 12-so far as the pub lie knows the military courts have thus far had few sensational cases. In view of the frequency of spy sto- ries, many people are astonished not to hear every day or so of a traitor or a foreign spy being condemned to death. As a rule these cases are handled by a drum-head court mar tial and the culprit has already been shot before the stories of his ex- ploits have reached the public, if the story Is true. It is more the routine business with the regular sittings of the court martial have to do. Deser- tions, disrespect to superior officers, aggressions of all sorts and misde- meanors make up the calendar.
 A class of cases that is common is like that of Abdallah ben Said Yahion, Algerian rifemen, who fell a victim to the warm hospitality of Paris. Re covering from a wound, he was order ed to rejoin his regiment near Mar seilles. He had never seen Paris and so many people showered things upon him he thought it was pity to leave. He lived like a prince six weeks, with out spending sou; when finally caught he had no defense excepting the weakness of human nature and simply declared: q brave man-want fight"
 Abdallah was formally sentenced to two years hard-labor but the sentence was suspended as it has been in many other cases. and he will be sent to the front.
 Resistence of civilians to military regulations brings many cases like that of Jacques Dellone into court. Dellone is a hardworking man afflict- ed with a peppery temper. He pulled a hand-cart with an eight hundred pound load up to the Billancourt gate, where he was stopped by sentinel. You cant pass here!"
 "What!' cried Dellone, "after pull ing this load a mile and a half, you want me to turn about with it? Not on your life"
 You cant pass" insisted the senti- mel. barring the way with his rife.
 "They ought to put up a sign post so people would know" protested Del lone.
 You'd better see Gallieni about that" replied the sentinel.
 "Gallieni! Who's Gallieni? I don't Gallieni and don't care a straw about him. I know no one but Joffre."
 Dellone's excuse was that nc Vne talked about Galleni and he did not know what authority he had to his credit.
 He was given five days in prison.
