GREAT NORTHERN CONDUCT
OR MAY LOSE CRUSHED LEG
Jack McHenry Thrown Under Wheels
at Palermo and Received HOr-
rible Injury

Jack McHenry, we'll known Great
Northern conductor, was seriously in
jured Saturday night at Palermo when
he was thrown off the caboose, the
wheels running over one Of his legs
between the ankle and the knee. The
injured man was brought to a local
hospital where everything possible is
being done to save the leg. The bones
were horribly crushed and if the leg
is saved, it will be considerably short
er than the other. The Great North
ern company's surgeon is watching the
case closely and it may be possible
that the limb will have to be ampu-
tated.
Mr.. McHenry was standing on the
end of the caboose and when the slack
was taken up in the train he was pre-
cipitated under the wheels. He is pop
ular with great many who trust that
he will have a rapid recovery.

1--WE Want Wives"-BachelOr
Farmers of North Dakota

There will be about 100 Of the
wealthiest bachelor farmers of the
state in state in those cars. Their
farm lands and other properties ag-
pregate an estimated value Of $50, ,0OO,-
600.
The purpose of the automobile trip,
which was planned last night by F. X.
Crane, director of agricultural expan-
sion Of the Great Northern railway, is
to give these husky, unwedded hus-
bandmen chance to see how desirable
it is to become husbands by showing
them the type Of girls Chicago is orna-
mented with.
OF the 600 North Dakota delegates
to the stock show who came in yester-
day on Louis Hills Great Northern
farmers special, these 100 pleaded
guilty to lacking partners in their joys
and woes, joys predominating on their
rolling North Dakota acres. The en-
ergetic Mr.. Crane rounded up half a
dozen of the bachelors, who coyly ad-
mitted that if Chicago girls generally
are as pretty as some Of those they
noticed in the stockyards district, they
might prolong their stay. /,
"If I can find a nice Chicago girl
built kind Of large" said P. G. Melby,
who owns 1000 acres at Hatton,, and is
director Of the Farmers and Mer-
chants National bank, "I'm certainly
going home welded man."

THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN ACT
Twelve Articles; Article No. s.
Easy Payment Plan

The new act provides for lending
money to farmers largely on the bor-
rower's terms. While the mortgage
must run at least five years and not to
exceed forty years, and must be paid
on the installment plan, yet the farm
er chooses the time to run and the
size of the installment.
The amortization plan, as the in
stallment plan is now called, is the
easiest plan for paying off debt. It
is also the cheapest plan, for it re-
quired less money for interest. Un-
der the act, the interest rate cannot
exceed six per cent, and the amortiza-
tion payments, to meet principal and
interest, must be in fixed annual or
semi-annual installments. However,
after five years the mortgage may be
paid off any time. If a farmer bor-
rows $1,000 at six per cent for ten
years under our present credit system,
he pays back the loan, principal and
interest, $1,000, the annual interest
payment being $50. If he borrows
the same amount at the same rate un-
der the new act, he pays back the loan,
principal and interest, S1358.70, the
annual interest and principal being
S135.87. This makes the amortiza-
| tion plan little cheaper, even if we
figure to the farmer interest on the
| use of the money which the farmer
I has under the old system, that is, on
the use of the difference between the
two payments of $50 and S135.97. And
| the new plan is easier because his an
nual payment of S135.S7 amortizes
(kills Off the debt at the end of ten
years. But under our present credit
method, after paying $50 a year in
terest for ten years, the borrower then
faces the original debt of $1,000 and
this may mean foreclosure or renewal
of the loan.-J. E. B., N. D. Exp. Sta.
