WHAT THE RURAL
CREDITS BILL PROVIDES

The Youths Companion gives the
following brief outline of the rura
credits bill which became law by
the signature of President Wilson, 8
few days ago.
q. The bill provides for a farm
loan board. in some respects SINH
lar to the Federal Reserve Board
Under its supervision twelve land
banks are to be organized. one in
each of the twelve districts through
out the country, and each bank is tc
have a capital of not less than five
hundred thousand dollars.
"2. These land banks are to make
the loans, receive and deposit with
a registrar the mortgages that secure
them, and issue bonds against the
mortgages.
"3. The loans to the farmer are
made through local loan associations
The associations are made up of ten
or more persons who desire to Dor
row. They must approve the appli
cation for a loan before it will be
granted by the land bank, and accept
certain liability, either limited OF
unlimited, for its payment.
a. The local association must be
come stockholders in the land bank
to the extent of 5 per cent of the
loans made to their members, who in
turn must hold at least one share
each in their local association.
30. The loans that the local asso-
citation thus approve are subject to
the valuation of Government apprais-
ers, and cannot be greater than SO per
cent of the value of the mortgaged
property.
"6. Loans may run for a period OF
from to five to thirty-six years, and
are subject of amortization-that is,
a part of the principal is paid with
every semi-annual payment of inter-
est, so that by the time the note ma
lures the debt is extinguished.
~. The loans can be made only
for some specific productive purpose,
like the purchase of farm, stocking
it with cattle or tools, or the advan-
tageous refunding of existing indebt-
edness.
"S. The bonds issued against the
are expected to bear a
low rate of interest, / per cent low
er than the mortgages; but it is be-
lieved that they will attract investors
because of their security, their wide
marketability and their freedom from
taxation, keeping the rate of interest
as low as practicable-it is hoped as
low as 5 per cent,

THE TOWN FRIEND

A SORRY newspaper is a little
worse than nothing-on par with the
small town drunk-an object of con
temptuous pity.
An ordinary newspaper is a bust.
ness without a legitimate excuse for
success-like a knocking, non-voting
citizens, whose object in life is to fol.
low the zig-zag line of least resis-
lance.
A good newspaper is more than a
business. 1t is the best friend a town
has in the world. The world may
turn against you but your newspaper
will stick. 1t may tell the town
of its faults, but 1t will do everything
in its power to assist in correcting
them. 1t is the peacemaker of pro-
gress; the embodiment of enthusiasm

My fwie goes about the hous,

for on just three bottles of Tanlas
she has gained eighteen (18)
pounds and she is like a different

the Tanlac representative at Jacobs
Pharmacy, Atlanta, last Saturday.
I'm here to get a bottle to take
myself" he continued, for it's
helped her SO much I am sure it will
be fine spring tonic for me to take.
My wife suffered with indiges-
tion and stomach trouble for a long
time, and was in a general rundown
condition. She reached the point
where she couldn't hardly sleep at
all, and her appetite went down to
almost nothing. She couldn't take
interest in anything, was very weak
and nervous and seemed respondent

pain about her and feels fine in ev-
cry way. She has been gaining
weight and strength ever since she
took her first few doses, and weighs
eighteen (18) pounds more today
than she did the day she began TAX
ing Tanlac. She has the biggest
kind of an appetite and eats meats,
hot biscuits and anything else she
wants and everything agrees with
her perfectly. She is no longer ner-
vous nor dizzy and sleeps Ikea baby.
She goes about her housework as
happy as sixteen-year-old girl and
smiles all the time.

after and my wife Is helping me
more with my work than she ever
has in her life. Tanlac just seems
to have filled her with new life,
STRENGTH and energy, and you don't
know how happy we are over her re-
covery. It's just marvellous the way
it has acted with her, and If any
body wants to know what we think
about Tanlac they can just see or
write me. !"
Speaking of Tanlac and the work
it is doing, Mr.. G. F. Willis, South
ern Distributor of Tanlac, said:
There is no season of the year
when Tanlac can be taken to better
than right now In the
springtime all mankind, after wealth
ering the storms of winter, is in need
of an upbuilding tonic. There is
nothing more invigorating to run
down system than Tanlac. 1t will
prove invaluable to persons who are
suffering from indigestion or the af-
ter effects OF pneumonia, la grippe,
catarrhal or bronchial troubles. At
this particular season my suggestion
is that persons so affected take the
full course of siv bottles of the med
icine."

CRITICISM OF MODERN FICTION
Pieases Many Because of Its Unreal
ity and Sentimentality, Is Opinion
Expressed by One Writer.

Sentimentality is kind of artificial
coloring matter. Just as a plateful Of
pink (grade E skinned milk, chem
ically favored) passes for strawberry,
as magazineful of pink (same for
mula) passes for romance. Without this
adventitious glamour many of the
sugary connections now served up to
the public would seem as fiat as stale
toothpaste.
Some people find this tinge very
convenient. To them it makes the
most drab things seem tolerable.
Wed rather not know what this
really is they say, for if we did.
we mightn't like it as well. Besides.
there are enough unpleasant things in
this world, without our needing to add
to them by Analysing something we
enjoy"
And so, thinking the thoughts they
like to think, they batten ON coal tar
and cochineal.
But some of us would like to know
what goes into our physical and men
tai stonIachs. We wish that the pure
food experts who censor the adver-
tisements in many of the popular mag
azines might be given chance at the
tctiou.--Judge.

DAIRY|NG IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in highly
1ourishing condition and is bound IN
a very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
a great demand for that article, and
it's use abroad has given it lot OF
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is Low sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who, having used it, is quick to ap-
preciate its value. This means that
after the war there will be demand
created for it that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
that this will be met. AS matter OF
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect Of an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
edly be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential, and In time it is bound to
become one of the finest cheese coun-
tries of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose, will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping of milk and cream and
cheese, and that is a great thing for
the industry, especially when COM
bined with possibilities Of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, Is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced, coupled with the high prices

Rouuh on the Stacker.

Edward Marshall, the author and
war correspondent, said in London:
After my experience on the tor
pedoed Sussex I can sympathize with
the English hatred of the Stacker.
''The Stacker gets it good and hard
n England nowadays. One of these
stacking chaps boarded a train the
other evening that was crowded with
muddy, unstaven soldiers just back
on five-day furlough from the
trenches.
The Stacker was in evening dress
silk socks, pumps, brilliantined hair
and dainty white gloves. There were
no seats, so he took hold of strap.
AS he stood there strap-hanging the
Tommies studied him thoughtfully.
Finally one of them got up, touched
him on the elbow politely, and said:
Have my seat, miss"

For some months it has been known
that powerful Japanese syndicate.
says the Kobe Chronicle, has been
casting longing eyes on several large
sugar estates in the Philippines, and
particularly on the one owned by the
Dominican order of friars in the fruit
full province Of Laguna; and for the
last few weeks it has been known to
many that negotiations concerning the
latter were drawing to close, and
that there was every probability of the
property of the Dominican order of
friars going over to Japanese ner-

completed, the transfer taking place
at midnight on February z, when the

PRINCE WAS HIS CHAUFFEUR

The following excerpt from the let
ter of a field aTtilleryman from q

Then an auto hove in sight! l

road. spread out my arms, and the
machine stopped. On the right side Of
the forward seat sat the chauffeur and
on his left major. A man covered
with galloons from top to bottom
opened the door, and | took a seat
inside.
"The chauffeur said: Well. COM

laughed and said, All right Then he
looked around again and smiled at me
once more, He apparently was glad
that ! was pleased. The ride was a
fast one. l pulled my cap down over
my ears, and the chauffeur looked
around again and laughed. l thought,
Does he know me? But how does he
dare smile at me SO while a major is
seated beside him? He certainly is
nervy.
AS l catch a glimpse of H. half
turn around and say: May l ask to
be let out?' Then | noticed for the
first time that the man who sits back
of me is an imperial chauffeur. Then
he said to the driver: The gentleman
would like to get out and whispered
to me at the same time that the man
ahead who is guiding the auto and who
has smiled at me so often is a high
superior officer.
" Thunder and lightning!'I said to
myself. Jump out quickly and stand
at attention, not before the major but
before the chauffeur who then said
to me: Well, comrade, dost thou
know who has carried thee?' | said:
No I am the Crown Prince He

to his cap, and the auto was gone"

Populations Flow and Ebb.

When we speak of the waves Of i'm
migration rolling into this country the
backwash is frequently forgotten. In
1915 the number of arrivals was 423,-
244. while the number who returned
to the countries of their nativity was
3S4,174, or So per cent. Last year may
be regarded as abnormal owing to a
general condition of war; but, taking
the five-year period 1909-13, of total
of 7,454,239 immigrants. 3,21O95S, or
43 per cent, returned
In fact, there is regular ebb and
flow In the movement of population,
depending upon the rise, remarks the
Philadelphia Record, and decline in
the demand for labor. A considerable
proportion of the immigrants are birds
of passage, and there are many among
them who have come and gone two or
three times. Only one-half the arriv,
ais become permanent residents.

readily to the gas administered by the

was sleeping peacefully and the Of
Tending molar was removed.

Two dollars?" the man exclaimed.
Yes, sir said the dentist. ut was
an unusually hard job getting that

ordinary amount of gas.

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta,
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell a carload OF
hogs at the high price of eleven cents
a pound, live weight. The sale was
made a short time ago at Calgary. and
at that time was record, although
prices have since gone as high as
S11121a per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
his farm produces, as there is prac-
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes in for raising hogs, beef
and dairy products. With Western
Canadas cheap lands, heavy crops. and
climate free from diseases of stock,
the stock farmer is as sure Of success
as anyone can be.-Advertisement.
