DAD AND THE PAPER

Sometimes dad says the paper some
how amt got up right, and he does a
lot of kickin' when he reads it Friday
night. He says there amt dad-burn-
ed thing in it worth while to read, an
that it doesn't print the kind O. stuff
the people need. He throws it in the
corner and says it's on the bum-but
you ought to hear him boiler when the
weekly fails to come.
He reads about the weddings and
snorts like all git out, he reads the So
cial columns with a most decisive
shout. He'll read about the parties
and he'll fuss and groan and say they
print the paper for women folks alone.
He says that of information it don't
contain a crumb-but you'd oughter
hear him boiler when the weekly fails
to come.
He's always first to grab it and he
reads it through and through; he
doesn't miss an item or want ad, old
or new. He says, "They don't know
what we want, them newspaper guys.
I'll take day off sometime and 60 and
put them WISE" If editors were as
wise as dad they'd sure be going some,
but you oughter hear him boiler when
the weekly fails to come.
And when dad goes way and stays
day or two, tell you he gets riled
and says awful things he'll do, if the
paper failed to mention him as being
out of town-well, he almost has no.
ton to knock some printer down. He
never does, however when he sees
one he is mum, but you'd oughter hear
him boiler when his paper fails to

THE NEW RURAL CREDIT LAW
(Farm Information Service. North

Dakota Experiment Station)
The following is an outline of it's
main provisions:
1. The farmer turns over his mort
gage to his local association. If no
association is formed in his commun-
ity, local banks may act as agents.
2. The local association Endorses
the mortgage and turns it over to the
federal land bank in that district.
3. The federal land bank furnishes
the farmer the money through his
local association.
Ten or more persons must incorpor.
ate to form a local National Farm
Loan Association" This process is
very simple, and is provided for in de-
tail by the act Members of the local
must take out stock in it at IS share,
one share of stock for every 500 of
the mortgage they wish to negotiate,
This money, however, can be borrow
ed from the land bank. Members of
the local do not have unlimited liabil-
ity. They have, like stockholders in
any bank, double liability" which
means they may lose $40 on every
share OF stock they buy. The farmers
shares of stock are bought back by
the local when his mortgage is paid.
The farmer may be landowner, or
about to become landowner" He
can borrow up to so per cent of the
value of the land, or up to 20 per cent
OF the value of the permanent. insur.

will be six per cent or less.s Tie time
OF the loan will be at least i've years.

A VILLAGE MoNoPoLIs7

Under a sign that reads garage"
The village smithy stands;
The smith a wealthy man has grown
From autos of all brands;
The profit he makes on gasoline
Smacks Of pirates and robber bands
He looks the whole world in the face,
For he shows not any man
The inside work of his red gas pump;
He's fingered it all he can.
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
And his conscience is like the tan.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night,
His bellows no longer blow;
You can hear him fill from his red gas
pump
With measure that's seldom slow;
Like sections, the face of each Gus
toner
Whose gas tanks exhausted low.
Pumping-rejoicing- profting,
Onward through life he goes;
He's got the only gas in town,
And the cars line up in rows;
Something attempted, someone done,
Has earned nights repose.

THE MAN WHO SMILES

Medina Citizen: The man who is
smiling now is the man who has the
COWS, who comes to town with his
cream cans, receives his cash, buys
his groceries for cash and deposits the
balance as nest egg for rainy day.
He is the one who is not affected by
the rust or blight, but bossy nibbles
the grass which nature furnishes and
gives the milk that pays the grocery
bills, feeds and clothes the baby and
builds up the bank account.

North Dakota will emerge from the
light crop season with a better un-
derstanding of conditions and better
prepared for the seasons that are to
follow. The bumper crop of last year
gave hopes to many that it would be
repeated Now they know better, and
most Of those who lost by farming too
much small grain say it served them
right. The lesson will teach them to
diversity and farm better.

SUNSET ON THE PRAlRlES
IDS, Ianaac w Eolou

(By James w. FOley)
They have tanned 1t with their har.
rows;
They have broken it with plows,
Where the bison used to range it,
Someone's built himself house.
They have stuck it full Of fence posts,
They have girded it with wire,
They have shamed it and profaned it
With the automobile tire;
They have bridged it's quilted rivers,
They have peopled it with men;
They have churched it, they have
schooled it,
They have steepled it-amen.
They have furrowed it with ridges,
They have seeded it with grain,
And the West that was worth knowing
l shall never see again.
They have smothered all the camp.
fires,
Where the beaten plainsman slept;
They have driven up their cattle,
Where the skulking coyote crept.
They have made themselves a pas.
ture,
Where the timid deer would
browse;
Where the antelope were feeding,
They have dotted DER with cows.
There's a yokeps tuneless whistle
Down the bison's winding trail;
Where a redman's arrow futtered
There's a woman with pail
Driving up the COWS for milking;
They have cut it's wild extent
Into forty acre patches.
Till it's glory is all spent.
I remember in the sixties
When as far as l could see,
1t was neither lord nor ruler,
But the buffalo and me,
Ere the blight of man was on it,
And the endless acres lay
Just as God Almighty left them
On the restful seventh day,
When no sound rose from it's vastness
But murmur, hum and din
Like the echoed void of silence
In an unheard prairie hymn;
And l lay at night and rested
In my bed of blankets curled,
Much alone as if I were
The only man in all the world
But the prairie's passed, or passing,
With the passing Of the years.
Till there is no West worth knowing
And there are no pioneers.
They have riddled it with railroads,
Throbbing on and on and on.
They have ridded it of dangers
Till the zest OF it is gone.
And I've saddled up my pony,
For I'm dull and lonesome here
To go westward, westward, westward,
Till we find new frontier;
TO get back to Gods own wilderness
And the skies we used to know
But there is no West; it's conquered
And I don't know where to go.

Now some do roam where sea wave

Enjoying pleasant breezes,
And some abide on mountain side
Where every prospect pleases.
And some do meet the trying heat
With aspect brave and gritty;

Must summer in the city.

IT'S FINE FOR CORN

How comforting it is to sigh
Beneath blistering, copper sky,
When not a breath of air is nigh;
It's good for corn.
How cooling and refreshing sweet
When you are sweltering with the
heat,
1t is to cheerfully repeat:
It's fine for corn!
When on your bed you lie all night,
A sleepless, sweaty, suffering wight,
Just say: "It's hot, but quite all right
It's fine for corn"
Your stomach may be quite upset,
Your appetite no more, and yet
This though uplifting, don't forget:
It's good for corn.
And If at last you're stricken low,
Just smile and say before you go,
The weather's rough on me, but, oh,
It's fine for corn!
