SOME RURAL CREDITS DEFINITIONS

AS ordinarily used the term
rural credits" may be used to
include all means by which CAPT.
tai is extended and make avail
able to farmers for the opera ton
and development Of their farms.
longtime loans in European
countries usually run for periods
of from 10 to rs years, with an
average Of perhaps not less than
IS years. These long-term loans
are practically always payable
on the Amortization" plan,
which means simply that the
interest (seldom more than or
5 per cent per annum) and a
small percentage of the'principal
of the debt are paid in small
equal annual or semi-annual in
stallments. As an illustration.
a loan of ST, 900 for Is years at
6 per cent by the amortization
plan would be repayable at the
rate of 500 annually. which
would be sufficient in 16 years
to pay the interest and entirely
repay the loan. Or a loan of
500, with interest at 6 per cent,
may be entirely repaid, including
interest, in 10 years by 10 annual
payments of SO each.
Next to amortization, ''deben-
ture" is one of the most common
terms used in connection with
rural credits. When so used, the
word means simply a bond Sc
cured by the assets of the issu-
ing company, the assets in this
case being chiefly in the form
of farm mortgages held by the
lending association, company, or
government, as the case may
be.

THE FARM TENANT HAS BETTER
ADVANTAGES THAN CITY IABORERS

Remember this: The tenant
is essentially laborer, and when
| contrast his condition with the
conditions of other laborers in
our great manufacturing plants
and in the crowded slums of our
great cities, where thousands of
them are without employment
today, their children hungry for
bread when | think of these
things. | say, | am bound to
rejoice in the greater freedom,
opportunities and possibilities
of the rural laborer or renter
in our Southern country. | am
certainly not nearly so much de-
pressed by any lack of opportuni-
ties for the white renters in the
South today as | am by the fail
ure of so many to take advant-
age of these opportunities.
Let's begin then, Brother Rem
ter, by deciding that it's not
such bad thing to be a tenant
farmer. AS | have already intl-
mated, few of them suffer for
lack of food, as many ordinary
lahorers do; there are always
periods when they may have
rest and recreation such as other
laborers hard-driven from years
end to years end never enjoy;
the parents can rear their child
rem in Gods open air and not
have their bodies dwarfed by too
early toll or their souls polluted
by city slum life-and there is
always the further chance that
even though you are renter,
your boy may become a land
owner. Already | have seen in
our Southern towns tired out
little white boys and girls coming
out of big factories at dusk,
hirelings of great capitalists and
with no prospect that they would
ever be anything else, and ]
have wished that they might
have the opportunities and posi-
bilities of little Negro boys and
girls playing out on the nearby
farms.
No wonder the Negro leaders
are thanking God the factory
doors are shut to their children
They are wise. The country is
| the place for the white renter
to stay. no matter how dark the
outlook may sometimes be.

STOCK ON SMALL FARMS

The place to begin in the cam
paign for more live stock in
Arkansas is with the small farm.
The man who can go out and
buy two or three cars of cattle
can always take care of himself.
The State and Government Ex-
tension Division in Arkansas in
its campaign for more live stock
wants that stock on the small
farms. 1t wants the man with
one cow to get one or two more;
the man with two sows to have
five this winter; the man with
two yearling steers to feed to go
out and buy three more and feed
up the rough feed and corn
grown on his farm with a little
cotton seed meal for the COWS
and little tankage for his hogs.
The Extension forces want the
farmer with two mules to trade
them for two mares and raise
colts; the man with twenty hens
to increase his flock to one hun
dred. In other words it wants
every farmer to use his brains
to find ways of growing more
feed from given acreage and
at the same time try to see how
much live stock he can feed on
his farm. The Extension Divi-

 Mrs Goebel of Otter creek presented a pretty picture as 'Columbia"
 Dave Mutchler represented Omar, and looked exactly as though he had stepped down out of the cigarette advertisement.
 w. F. Duffy made a dignifed looking Mandarin.
 Mrs. John C. Currin presented dainty picture in an Oriental costume.
 After the award of the prizes an excellent supper was served under the supervision of Herb Riley, three separate sittings being necessary to accommodate the crowd
 Prizes were also awarded for the best opponents of the waltz and two-step, and created some diversion. In this as in the previous awards the judges were eminently fair
 . Dancing was continued until late hour, and the crowd was even then reluctant to quit the scene.
 The music was most excellent being pro vided by Mrs. Maher at the piano, MT Jacobs with the cornet and MT Bain with mandolin.

MASQUERADE VAS GLORIOUS EVENT

Leland of Flat City and Ed Smith of Idita rod, and they were the recipients of much commendation for their work in this diff cult position. The prizes were awarded as follows:
 Most original character lady)-Mrs Claude Baker, Angel of Peace" Best sustained lady character Mrs Grouse, Scotch Lassie" Most original group-Chris Hanson and George Kay, Gold Dust Twins"
 Most original gentleman character George Mutchler Bean Pot"
 Best sustained gentleman character W. F. Duffy, Chinese Mandarin"
 Most comical gentleman character Percy G. Charles, as a 'Dutchman."
 Most comical lady character-Mlss Lillian Smith, as "A Football Player"
 Best tramp character Byers.
 Special prize-Mrs. Beattie, representing Night"
 Best dressed lady-Mrs Herb Riley
 The announcement of the awards was greeted with applause, showing that the judgment of the committee reflected the popular verdict The costume of Mrs Baker was an elaborate and artistic con ception of the bject, and that of Mrs. Beattle was most artistic The many beau tiful and amusing costumes forbid notice in detail, but a description of the event would be incomplete without mentioning a few of the more striking.
 Mrs George Mutchler probably caused more speculation as to her identity than any other masker. She was enveloped in monstrous bean pot, and solemnly paraded the hall, causing much amusement. She was given an ovation when she was cay tracted from her ridiculous headpiece, after someone had suggested sending for a can opener.
 Ernie Beattie made one of the hits of the evening by appearing as ballet dancer, and his great stature, coupled with really excellent makeup, served to produce most comical representation.
 Miss Lillian Smith, as football player, looking as though she had been in the midst of a very hard scrlmmage and had the worst of it. made an immense hit.
 The Gold Dust Twins" were the creators of much merriment, and they looked the par to perfection.
 Mrs. Grouse, as Scotch lassie, was ex- tremely popular with the merry makers, and she favored the gathering with an excellent presentation of the Highland fling.
 Of course Percy Charles was in evidence, and as a portly Dutchman, he looked as though he had "just come ofer."

The passing of the old year and the birth of the new were celebrated in Iditarod in true northern style, in one of the most enjoyable masquerade balls ever given in the district This annual affair given un- der the auspices of Camp Iditarod NJ. ?, called forth truly representative gathering of the residents of the 1dltarod ant the adjoining creeks, and the amount of interest displayed as evidenced in the many atistic and amusing costumes combined to make it a notable event in the annals of social activities in this section of Alaska.
 There seemed to have been a general understanding among the creek residents to attend the ball in a body, and on Thurs day night last the towns of Flat ant Dis covery must have presented desertei ap- pearance judging from the number of their residents who came in to 1ditarod tt par ticipate in the New Years eve carnival All day the road between the creek and this city were lined with dog teams, horse vehicles and foot passengers, all belt on participating in the New Years eve fsstivl- ties.
 When the strains of the first waltz fbated out at A. B. hall on New Years eve an inspiring sight was presented, and one which recalled to the minds of old+imers scenes of early days in Alaska. Tie i'm mense dancing space was mass Of color, with brilliant lights placed to the bst ad- vantage to show off the handsome tecora- tons and the motley of costumes of the dancers. Just before midnight, whsn the prizes were awarded and the dancers un- masked, the hall was comfortably filhd and the gallery was crowded with spectators. The variety of costumes displayed was source of much comment There were bal let girls Pierrots and Columbines Eskimos, Hottentots and the common variety of "nigger," clowns, tramps cowboIs and cowgirls, mingling with the more aristo- cratic and dignifed duchesses and prncesses. There were symbolic characterizatiols also, and some of these displayed a degree of artistic merit that was surprising.
 Awarding the Prizes
 The work of awarding the various prizes offered by the committee in charge of the ball was most difficult one, owing to the arge number of maskers and tie great variety of costumes Probably thee never vas committee for such an Occahon that gave universal satisfaction. But judging from the comments made on this occasion, the gentlemen who acted Tn thls capacity well represented the general sentiment of those present, and came as near b making the awards according to merit as 1t IS possible to do.

The Island of SakhaIin

Sakhalin is a long, mountainous island in the North Pacific, opposite the mouth of the Amur river. Its area contains 24,560 square miles. The principal rivers, the Tym and the Poronai, teem with fish, especially salmon. Petroleum and naphtha exist and coal is mined by Russian convicts. Agri- culture does not succeed, owing to the ex- tremely rigorous climate. The island is covered with dense forests. Bears, sables, tigers and wild reindeer abound. The island formerly belonged to the Chinese empire, but early in the nineteenth cen tury It Was annexed by the Japanese who ceded It to Russia in 1875. Russia has attempted to colonize the island by con- victs, some 4,ooo to 5000 of them being employed in the coal mines The island was seized by the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese war, and at the termina- tion of that struggle the southern half was .ceded to Japan by the treaty of Ports mouth, Russia retaining the northern half Alexandravosk is the chief city, which in 1897 had population of 2s,l66.
