IVA which the American flag
"a floats where two Christmas
days are celebrated. This APP
plies especially to the Alaskan pen
insu.a and adjoining Islands, where
many of the natives belong to the Rus
sian church with her Julian calendar.
1t is only since the coming OF the
American public school and mission
that the american Christmas" has
been introduced III those parts. Ac-
cording to the Julian calendar, Christ
mas, Dec. 25. falls on the day that is
Jan. Z in the calendar elsewhere.
According to the Russian church in
Alaska, Christmas begins at . o'clock
in the morning, when the church bells
announce the birth of Christ, and
when the natives come out of their
lluts they find q bright and beautiful
star of Bethlehem over the church
reckoning them. The church is q
small wooden building decorated with
pictures of saints, lighted by candies,
without seats OF heat. Tho two sexes
are ranged IN the opposite sides of the
room, either standing or kneeling. On
this particular morning service is held
from 2 until 6 and is made up Of sing
ing and reading. Although to white
people it would seem q very great
hardship to stand on the feet for four
hours on a cold winter morning, yet
the natives would consider it the worst
kind Of punishment should they be
forced to stay away.
After the service the feasting and
rejoicing begin. In the evening there
takes place a very picturesque repre-
sentation of the wise men following
the star Of Bethlehem 10 where the
Christ Child is. As soon as it is night
the young people separate into groups.
One of the group goes before, carry
ing a large, beautifully trimmed star,
IN which a candle burns. On entering
a house the party sings hymns and
carols, as it was done centuries ago.
These songs are either in the old
Russian or in the Aleutian language.
Many Of the voices have the softness
and sweetness so peculiar to Indian
races, and this, combined with the
charming old church music, produces
n very agreeable effect. When they have
sung and have been entertained the
wise men proceed to the next house.
This singing is kept UP three nights
During the remaining nights of the
Christmas week another Biblical scene

for Jesus to kill him. Some one knocks
at the door, and when it is opened a

The new year is welcomed in with

MURAL CREDIT LAW
MAKES MONEY CHEAP
High Interest Agencies Rush to
Reduce Rate to Farmers.
BIGGER LOANS AT LESS COST

Effect Of New Administration Act
Strongly Felt, Although Law Is Not
Yet IA operation-WiII Reduce In
terost on Land Loans to Less Than
5 Per Cent.
The effect of the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Ad-
ADMINISTRATION, already Is being felt in
lower interest rates, although the land
banks have not yet been organized.
Testimony to this effect is being given
at the hearings held by the Federal
Farm Loan Board in various western
cities.
At the hearings In Nebraska, n,lmer-
GUS farmers stated that interest rates
In the demonstrating section of that
State already have been reduced from
one to two per cent. by the prospective
competition of thesthirty to forty-year
loans that the land banks soon will be
making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other agency would make
on a 640-acre Kinkaid claim was 81
COO. The commission deducted from
this left the farmer $3.50. He paid In
terest at from 8 to 10 per cent for five
years on $1,000, making his average
net interest rate from II to 10 per
cent.
This now is stopped by the coming
competition OF the new rural credit
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska to make ~ive-year loans at
lower rates, to forestall the operation
OF the new law.
The farmers OF the West, who have
suffered eXorbitant interest rates. for
years, arc not worrying about the.
banks. Their testimony before the
Farm L0an Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law, and
ready to help put 1t In successful oper-
alton.
The new farm loan net provides
means BY which farmers can form CO.
operative or Joint stock associations.
and borrow from the regional Federal
Farm Loan Bank on the security Of
their land. Ten farmers can form one
OF these associations. They can bor-
row up to so per cent Of the value Of
their land, for q period running up to
forty years,
The loan lis repaynble In small an
nual fnstalments, or can be paid In full
OF any time. The estimated interest
rate is 8 per cent. The farmer who.
brrows viii share In the profits of the
business, thereby reducing his interest
rate to d still lower figure.
