Haven't any? How do you carry your
dust? Haven't any? I forgot; you're
a tenderfoot, Of course" He opened
his buckskin sack with his teeth, and
poured back the gold from the palm
Of his hand. Then he searched for a
moment in all his pockets and pro-
duced q most peculiar chunk of gold

he handed to me.
"It's about a fifty dollar slug" said
he; "you can get it weighed. Give me
the change next time you see me-"
"But I may leave for the mines to-

"Then leave the change with Jim

"How do you know I'll leave it,"
asked curiously.

STEADILY TO WILSON
Organized Workers of Michigan and

Candidate.

Enthusiastic offers of support con-
tinue to pour into National Democratic
headquarters from working men and
union leaders from every section Or
the United States and from every
trade and industry. Not only will Presi-
dent Wilson get hundreds of thou
sands of votes from working men hith-
erto members of the Republican party,
but thousands of wage-earners who
have voted the Socialist ticket will this
time mark their ballots for him.
The latest Endorsement of President
Wilson by labor leader comes frop
John Fl. Walker, president Of the ILL.,
nois State Federation Of Labor.
"A working man who would vote Tor
Hughes, in the face Of his acts and
declarations against labor, and In the
face Of the great accomplishments Of
Mr.. Wilson for labor" said Mr.. Walk
er, '.must be uniformed, misinformed,
blinded by prejudice, or carried away
by party sentiment"
No word said for President Wilson
will have greater effect than state
ment by Andrew Furuseth, president
Of the Seamen's Union, declaring:
81 am for the election of woodrow
Wilson and a Democratic Congress be-
cause of the enactment of the Sea-
mems law and Of the Clayton act, re
cognizing and enforcing the equality
before the law of workingmen with
other citizens"
Asking, "Are Ye for God or Nam

w re found the City hotel offered
N/ exactly the same conditions
wv as did the Parker House, ex-
cept that the proprietor was
curt and had no time for us at ALL
From that point, still dissatisfied, we
extended our investigations beyond the
Plaza. We found ourselves ankle deep
in sandhills on which grew coarse
grass and a sort of sage. Crazy, ram
Shackle hutS made Of all sorts of ma
terial were perched in all sorts Of
places. Hundreds Of tents had been
pitched, beneath which and in front Of
which an extremely simple housekeep-
ing was going In. Hunt as we might
we could find no place that looked as
though it would take dodgers. Most Of
even the better looking houses were
simply tiny skeletons covered with pa
per, cloth or paint. BY painstaking
persistence we kept at 1t until we had
inquired Of every building of any pre-
tensions Then, somewhat discOur-
aged, we picked our way back to the
shore after our heavier goods.
The proprietor of the Parker House
greeted us with unabated good nature.
II know how YOU boys feel said he.
"Theres lots in your fix. You'd better
stick here tonight and then get organ
lied to camp out if you're going to be
here long. I suppose, though, you're
going to the mines. Well. it'll take
you several days to make your plans
and get ready. When you get back
from the mines you won't have to
think about these things"
'There's plenty of gold?" ventured
Johnny.

than the old Parker House, said he
comfortably.
We paid him $24.
BY now it was late in the afternoon.
The wind had dropped, but over the
hills to seaward rolled a soft beautiful
bank of fog. The sun was blotted out
behind it, and a chill fell. The crowds
about the Plaza thinned.
We economical our best at supper,
but had to pay some SIS for the four OF
us. The bill was Ia carte and con
tanned such items as grizzly steak, an
telope, elk and wild duck and goose
Grizzly steak, l remember, cost dol

finished it had grown dark. The lamps
were alight, and the crowds were be-
ginning to gather. All the buildings
and the big tent next door were q
blaze of illumination. The sounds OF
music and singing came from every
side. A holiday spirit was in the air.

RURAL CREDIT LAW
MAKES MONEY CHEAP
Former High-Interest Agencies
Rush to Reduce Rates to
the Farmers.
BIGGER LOANS AT LESS COST
May Borrow Half Of Land Valuol
at Less Than Five Per Cent
Effect Already Being Felt
Strongly.

The effect of the new rural credits
law, passed by the Democratic A,lmip-
istration, already is being felt in lower
interest rates, although the land banks
have not yet been organized. 'Testi-
mony 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, nIlmer-
Gus farmers stated that interest rates
in the homesteading section of that
State already have been reduced from
one to two per cent. by the prOSpeC
tive competition of the thirty to forty
year loans that the land banks soOA
will be making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other loan agency would
make on a 64O-acre "Kinkaid" claim
was $1,000. The commission deducted
from this left the farmer $3.50. He
paid interest at from 8 to 10 per cent.
for five years on $1,000, making his
average net interest rate from IL to-
Ii per cent.
This now is stopped by the coming,
competition of the new rural credits
law. Loan agents are rushing into,
Nebraska to make five-year loans st
lower rates, to fOrestall the operation
of the new law.
Lodge Protecting Banks.
This may account for the attack
made on the Democratic rural credit
measure by Senator Lodge, at Bever-
ly, Mass..son Sept. %, when he stated
that money could be borrowed on bet
ter terms from regular agencies than
under the rural credit act.
Mr. Lodge declares that this act will
endanger the present National and
cooperative banks and tend to break
them down, according to the report OF
his speech in the Boston Globe.
The farmers of the West, who have
suffered exOrbitant interest rates for,
years, are not worrying about the
banks. Their testimony before the
Farm Loan Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law, and
ready to help put it In successful Op-
GRAFTON.
Benefits to Farmers
The new farm loan act 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 Dor
row up to so per cent. of the value Of
their land, for a period running up to
forty years.
The loan is repayable in small an
nual installments, or can be paid in
full at any time. The estimated in
terest rate is per cent. The farmer
who bOrrOws will share in the profits
of the business, thereby reducing his
interest rate to a still lower figure.
The Democratic National Commit
tee has issued from it's headquarters,
at No. 80 East FOrty-secOnd street.
New York, a pamphlet for free distri-
button fully explaining the rural
credits law. 1t may be obtained from
your Democratic State or County
Committee.

less became his style very well. He
was dressed in tall white hat, a white
winged collar, black stock, a long
tailed blue coat with gilt buttons, an
embroidered white WaiStcOat, dapper
buff trousers and vanished boots. He
carried a polished cane and wore sew
eral heavy pieces of gold jewelry-a

Long Island proposition before peace
was declared.
Rupert and Huston. meanwhile. had
a chance to sign long-term lease for
the Polo Grounds. perhaps covering a
period of ten years, but they held out
for a more extended period, with the
result that they finally decided to va
cate the home of the Giants at the end
of next season.
When the plan to move the Yankees
to Queens was first made public there
was some adverse criticisms. It was
argued that operating on Long Island
would cause the team to lose its iden-
tity with the New York base ball pub
lie.
But the new rapid transit facilities
between Manhattan and Queens which
will he in operation in 1918 have con-
vinced Rupert and Huston that their
plan still is worth considering.
The Lond Island site, which may he
selected for the new stadium. can he
reached by the Steinway tube from
the Grand Central station in ten min
utes. The Great Queens terminal of
the dual system is within a block Of
the property, so that from lower Man
haitian the trip can be made through
the new Broadway subway in twenty

able site. so far as can be learned from
real estate men, is at Ienox avenue.

would have to he closed. 1t is under

, pert and Huston the former owners

| 2roa dway subway is nearby. and the

ears Of the Bronx trolley system. 1t is
| considered a wise move to build the
