THE NEW FEDERAL LOAN
SYSTEM FREE OF TAX.

Means Cheaper Money to borrowers
and Better Returns to Investors.
The farmer pays the taxes upon his
real estate. 1t cannot escape taxa
ton. Usually it is assessed for taxa
ton close to the figure a.. which it
would sell.
Now. if the lender has to pay a tax
on the note or mortgage given by tho
farmer, the rate of interest is CORE
spondingly increased and the borrow
Ell is doubly taxed.
But if no tax is imposed upon the
farmers's note and mortgage, or upon
the bond secured thereby, there should
be a corresponding decrease in the
rate of interest which the lender or
investor is willing to accept. Thus
double taxation is avoided, and in
ducement is offered the lender to ac-
cept still lower interest rates.
THE new federal farm loan law is
based partly upon the foregoing prin-
ciples," says Orange Judd Southern
Farming. That authority points on.
that by this new system. the entire
saving in taxes accrues to the benefit
CT the farm borrower.
By the plan heretofore in vogue,
money lenders sometimes have been
taxed On the farmers notes or mort
cages they held as security. This tax
vas imposed because the lender was
in a position to make the farmer pay
a rate so high as to include the tax.
In other words, the farmer who bor-
rowed of a Shylock had to pay a high
rate, and if the Shylock. we're not tax
ed upon such an investment the Shy
lock paid no tax at all.
But the new federal system goes
far to control the rate of interest. It
gives the borrower the benefit OF
every possible saving in rate. The
new law also helps people to increase
their small savings by investing same
in federal farm bonds occurred by first
mortgages on good farms worked by
their owners. These bonds are taX
free, should be absolutely safe and
salable, besides yielding a fair return
to the investor.

was decided upon at the meeting Of
the executive committee held on
Tuesday night. Just how the show
is to be handled was not decided. nor

Two Workmen Are Painfully
Burned At Forbes Plan
ing Mill.
INJURIESNOT DANGEROUS
Pipe Was Broken While Be-
ing Hammered With a
Wrench.

Tuesday afternoon, at the boiler
room of the Forbes Manufacturing
Co.'S planning mill, Robt. Lockhead
and Murphy Davis were badly scald-
ed by steam escaping from a broken
pipe. Lockhead, who is new man,
recently transferred from the Mogul
Wagon Works, was working on a
coupling and struck the pipe a >hard
blow with wrench, causing it to
break and the steam shot out, burning
him on his neck, arm and leg. Davis
was standing near leaning over and
the same steam caught him on his
ankles and arms. Both men were
painfully burned. They were rushed
at once to the Jennie Stuart Hospital,
where their burns were dressed and
they returned to their homes. Lock-
head will be laid up for week or
more. Davis is less seriously burned.

Buggy House Of Delker-
Schmitt Co., on Ninth
Street Destroyed.
JUDGE WINERIES LOSS
Grocery Of Ed Herndon, on
Greenville Road, Burned
Same Night.

Three fires occurred between p.
m. Dec. % and 1:30 a. m. Dec. 26.
The most serious was on Ninth street,
only few doors from the fire depart
ment. The buggy store of the Del
ker-Schmitt Co. was the scene of the
fire and it was burning fiercely on
the inside when the fire was discov-
cred. Owing to the combustible
nature of the CONT 3 and the close
ness with which the buggies and
other supplies were packed in the
small building, it burned rapidly and
the stock of buggies was practically
total loss. The house has been closed
up and the loss has not yet been ap-
praised. Ed j. Schmitt is the local
manager of the corporation. The
building is owned by Mrs. Virginia
Dade Lipscomb. The losses on build
ing and stock are covered by insur-
ance. Damages were also sustained
by the stocks of j. r. Hawkins & Co.,
groceries, and E. Tanner, dry
goods, in the two stores adjoining on
the east side. These losses were
caused by smoke and water and are
notso large. Theyar covered by in
surance.
During the fire, which was close to
Richard Leavell's stock barn, Mr..
Leavell had the lao head of horses
and mules in the barn driven out and
turned loose without taking time to
halter them, and they were rounded
up with considerable difficulty next
day, some of them going several
miles before they were found.
BLAZE AT JUDGE WINERIES.
A fire that started from one of the
chimneys in the residence of Judge
W. ?. Winfree, corner of Virginia
and Sixteenth street, caused an alarm
to be turned in at 7:20 Christmas
night, but the department responded
quickly and extinguished the small
blaze with chemicals, by tearing off
a few weather-boards. The loss was
small, fully covered by insurance.
SUBURBAN GROCERY BURNED.
An alarmof fire was turned in from
First street at 7;30 Christmas night
and when the department responded
they found the grocery store of Ed
Herndon, on the Greenville road, out
side the city limits, on fire. 1t was
necessary to use 1850 feet of hoseAo
reach the fire and the grocery could
not be saved. A house occupied by
a colored family close by was also
burning and that was saved with
some damage to the roof. Herrdon's
loss was several hundred dollars.

On Way to Tampico Where
He Hopes to Secure Port
for Supplies.
NO TALKFROM CARRANZA
In Case He Rejects Protocol
Believed He Could Not
Make Loan.

Washington, d. C., Dec. ga re-
port received at Ell Paso by sources
known to be close to Francisco
Villa and his government agents, says
that Villas forces captured San Luis
Potosi Monday.
Many foreigners who left Torreon
before Villa attacked that town re-
Gently went to San Luis Potosi.
No details were available.
Carranza's reply to the protocol is
still awaited.
The more general opinion among
government officials, however, was
that the Mexican executive would not
change his repeated declarations that
the American troops must be with
drawn Internationally and that any
further discussion Of international
subjects could not take place while
foreign troops violated the sovereign
lily OF Mexico.
If Carranza persists in his refusal,
there will be nothing for the members
of the joint commission to do but to
hold one last session to close up the
records and say good-byes.
|. Disruption of the commission would
it is believed, make very slim the
chances of Carranza's obtaining an
American loan without which those
high in his own government concede
it will be almost impossible for him to
continue the task of conducting an
administration beset by organized
bandits.

London, Dec. 27.-Rumania con-

southern Moldavian border and in
Dobrudja the Teutonic allies continue
to make gains over the Russians and
Rumanians. Thirty miles southwest
of Braila the invaders have captured
the town of Filipechti, and west Of

In this latter region during the past
few days $500 Russians have been
made prisoners.

are still in quest of Kut-el-Amara in
which sector they have made further
advances on the right bank of the
Tigris and consolidated and extended
their positions south and east of the
