NAVIGATE Alaskan River.

Captain Lukens OF the coast and
geodetic survey has discovered prac-
ticable channel from Behring sea into
the mouth of the Kuskokwim river
This river, which is next to the larg-
est stream in Alaska, is nine miles
wide at its mouth, and is navigable
for over 600 miles Its delta extends
its great submerged fats hundred
miles out to sea. II was through that
dangerous delta that the surveying
steamer Yukon found a channel hither-
10 uncharted. The newly discovered
channel will enable steamship com
panies to send vessels up into the
Kuskokwim, and thus to begin the ex-
ploitation OF the mining, fishing, and
agricultural riches Of the region. Cap
tain Lukens reports that in making
the survey he took 1926 soundings,
over an area of more than hundred
square miles, and that in some in
stances he determined the position OF
his soundings by making observations
on mountain peaks more than GO miles
away. Shipping companies at Seattle
plan to build two light-draft steam
ships especially for river traffic on
the Kuskokwim.

Pads In Steel Helmets.

A new steel helmet for the protec-
ton OF British troops on the firing line
is being issued at the rate of $4,000 a
month, according to the Army and
Navy Journal. Advantage was taken
by the designers of the experience
gained from the use of the French
helmet or casQue, and faults which had
developed in the latter were remedied.
The British helmet is a round cap Of
the hardest steel, with a narrow Zip"
back and front. and designed with a
much lower pitch than the French
type. 1t is perfectly smooth, having
no fluting or projections for bullets or
fragments of shrapnel to strike
against. Ingenious devices have been
emplo' I'd to obtain both good fit and
a comfortable one. Inside the dome OF
the helmet are fixed number of rub
Der studs, to take up the shock OF the
blow struck from any direction. They
come between the helmet and its
double lining OF felt and wadding. The
wadding comes next to the head OF the
wearer and covers 1t closely, so that

cap and inflict scalp wound the wad
ding will act as a dressing. The he'll

An Analysis OF The
u. s. Rural Credit Law

prepared by the Farm Loan Board.
The bank is given power to protect
itself in case of default by recalling
the loan in whole or in part or TAX
ing other necessary action.
The Interest Rate Paid by
the Borrower
No Federal land bank is permitted
TO charge more than 6 per cent per
annum on its farm mortgage loans,
and in no case shall the interest
charged on farm mortgages exceed
by more than l per cent the rate paid
on the last issue of bonds.
For example, IL the bank pays only
per cent on an issue of bonds, 1t
can not charge more than 5 per cent
for the next farm loans it makes.
Out of this margin of not to exceed
/ per cent, together with such
amounts as 1t can earn on its paid in
cash capital, the bank must set aside
certain reserves and meet all its ex
penses Any balance or net profits
can be distributed as dividends to
the loan associations or other stock
holders. The loan associations, from
their bank dividends, after setting
aside the required reserves and meet
ing expenses, can declare association
dividends to their members. In this
way the profits, If any, will be dis
tributed among the borrowers anc
will, to that extent, reduce the
amount of interest actually paid b,
them.

Mansfield a Mining Center

The city of Mansfield is under
laid with mineral. We can prove
this by asking our resident prop
erty owners about the wells they
have had drilled on their prem.
ises. In the majority of cases,
they have drilled through one or
more strata of mineral. Now,
why is it that our mineral re.
sources cannot be developed?
Wake up, citizens, and do some
thing toward the development of
our mineral deposits. There may
be million dollars for every
man, woman and child who lives
in Mansfield. Would it not be
nice to have this old Mother
Earth seen into and to have this
great mineral wealth. developed
and make this little city grow in.
to great big city, with all kinds
of industries on the boom? Why,
we would all run over each other,
buy city lots and build modern
new residences and business
houses. Farms in the surround.
ing country would double and
treble in price. They would be
bought for mining purposes and
truck farming. C.
