Stock In Rural Credit
Institute.

Washington. D. c., Aug. 8.--With the
farm loan board holding its first meet
ing today interesting gossip is current
as to the terms on which at least some
Of aspirants for land banks hope to win
them, this Is by taking big blocks Of
stock in the banks, each Of which will
have $750,000 capital. One authority
here declared today that Sioux City
could get bank If its moneyed men
took enough stock in 1t. This authority
Is nonofficial, but is in close touch with
members OF the farm loan board, and
what he says opens up an interesting
field for speculation.
George Norris, Of Philadelphia was
designated by President Wilson today
head of the farm loan bank system
created by the new rural credits act
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE new farm
loan board charged with organization Of
the federal land bank system providing
methods for making loans to farmers
on first mortgages of land, will hold its
first meeting today at the treasury de-
partment. The most important prelim-
mary work Of the board, after it's mem
bers take the oath Of office, will be the
division of the country into IL federal
land bank districts with a land bank
which will furnish the funds for the
loans to farmers in each district
Forty cities already have applied or
nave been recommended for banks. Be-
lore 1t reaches any decisions, the board
Is expected to travel across the CONT
nent to hear the views Of the farmers
on where the banks should be located
and how district lines should be drawn.
1T Is probable this part Of the boards
work will take several months.
Cities which have applied or which
nave been recommended for banks in
clude:

SIGHT SUBMARINE
OFF MAINE COAST
Undersea Craft Believed to
Have Been Either Deutsch-
land or Overdue Plum
ger Bremen.

Machias Port, Me-, Aug. S.-Captain
Small, OF the Cross Island coast guard
station, reported this morning that his
station had sighted a large submarine
west bound. It's nationality could not
be determined, but the captain said he
had no doubt that it was an under sea
craft. The submarine was coming to
the surface when it was sighted and.
after running awash is minutes, again
submerged. 1t was thought that the
vessel might be the German submarine
Bremen. So far as can be learned
there are no United States submarines
on the Maine coast. The lookout who
sighted the submarine later said that
he picked the vessel up in clear wealth
er five miles to the southeast. AS the
vessel came to the surface, the lookout
said he heard several blasts from the
signal horn at the light house on Seal
island, British possession.
1t Is believed that the keeper of the
light house was signaling to the keep
er at Grand Mailman light, also British
owned, that a submarine had been
sighted.
Immediately after the whistles
sounded the submarine submerged. A
few moments later haze set in and
1t was Impossible to see more than four
miles off Cross island.
Lowell Dunn, the lookout on Cross
island, later reported that he had
sighted a second submarine consider
ably smaller than the first one.
Washington, Aug. Navy officers
said today no American submarines
were known to be anywhere in the vi
entity of Cross island. They thought
the boat sighted there might be the
German merchant submarine Deutsch-
land on her homeward voyage. or her
sister ship, the Bremen, bound in for
the United States.

BLOOD SERUM MAY Be
CURE FOR PARAL YSIS
Physicians to Make Exhaustive
Test Of Discovery valu-
able as Preventative.

+. New York. Aug. S.-An appeal was
issued today to persons who had suf-
Tered from 1nfantile paralysis and who
have recovered to give small quanti-
ties of their blood so that serum could
be obtained and administered to those
now victims Of similar attacks. It was
stated that this appeal was made at
the request OF the department Of health
and physicians who are foremost in the
fight OF the plague.
Physicians said that, owing to lack
of serum with which to make numerous
conclusive tests, its value has not yet
been fully proved. but indicated that
there was a possibility that, If admin
istered early enough, 1t would prevent
paralysis and save the patient from be-
coming crippled. There has been much
discussion Of this claim and it has been
questioned by other physicians.
