TWELVE CITIES
 CHOSEN FUR HE
 FARM LOAN BANKS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Twelve cities in which are to be located the federal farm loan banks were an- nounced today by the farm loan board and it is expected that within sixty days the new system will be in opera ton, ready to make the loans for which applications aIready are pOdl ing in rom every section of the country.
 The banks will be opened In Spring field, Mass, Baltimore, Md, Columbia, s. C. New Orleans, La, Houston. Tex, St Louis, Louisville, St. Paul, Minn., Omaha, Wichita, Kan. Spokane. Wash, and Berkeley Cal.
 Stock subscription books of the banks will be opened within the next ten days, probably about January 2, to remain open for 30 days, It is ex- pected, however, that the government will have to supply most of the S9,- 100000 capital under that section of the law which empowers the secretary of the treasury to make up the un- subscribed stock.
 Temporary directors, five to each bank, win be named, probably within the next three weeks, by the board As soon as the banks have been or ganized and borrowers have subscribed to S200000 of the stock of each bank, the temporary directors will surrend- CT their authority to boards of nine directors each, six of whom will be named by. the farmer borrowers and three by the farm loan board. The permanent directors will serve three years and receive per diem compen sation, as in the case of federal re- serve bank directors
 Each borrower must subscribe to stock in the bank from which he bor rows to the extent of five per cent of his loan and the original sub scribers to the capital stock are re- quired to surrender their holdings as they may be needed to meet this situation.
 In designating locations for the banks. the board was guided chiefly by the needs of rural sections. This has resulted in placing only two of the twelve banks in New England and middle Atlantic states. the chief cen ters of population. Three go to the south. five to farming states of the middle west and two to the Pacific coast.
 The twelve districts into which the country is divided are as follows:
 District No. 1. Maine. New Hamp- shire Vermont, Massachusetts. Rhode Island Connecticut. New York and New Jersey.
 District No. 2. Pennsylvania. Della ware, Maryland. Virginia and West Virginia and District of Columbia.
 District No. 3. North Carolina. South Carolina, Georgia and Florida

COLUMBUS, Ohio., Dec. 27.-Presi- dents of four national organizations, the American Economic association; the American Sociological society; the American Statistical association and the American Association of Labor Legislation delivered addresses at a joint meeting of these organiZa- tions here tonight. It was the opening of a four days convention and was presided over by Dr. w. o. Thomp- son, president of Ohio State uni versity
 Professor Irving Fisher of Yale uni- versity president of the American As sociation for Labor Legislation in his address tonight spoke of the nation wide campaign now under way for compulsory health insurance.
 There is no other measure before the public which equals the power of health insurance toward social re- generation he said. He pointed out that the United States was the only great industrial nation without com pulsory health insurance.

 COMPULSORY HEALTH INSURANCE

president of the American Sociological society, discussing country side and nation" declared that as an industry farming pays the average farmer less than day wages; that only increase in land values gives him delusive sense of prospecting from agriculture; that tenancy is increasing disconcertingly even in the best farming regions such as Iowa and Illinois; that the rural population is increasingly foot loose and migratory and that by reason of these conditions education, social life political responsibility, moral stand ards, and religious functions are be- ing neglected alarmingly.
 Dr. Vincent deplored the group an- tagonists among farmers organiza- tions, the collisions between farmers clubs and local merchants, the fact that bankers are suspicious of new plans for rural credits and that farm CTS alliances are at war with elevator companies and middlemen generally He declared it was time to insist upon the national point of view as opposed to that of narrower group in tereStS.

The furnishings of the state house appeared to be more barren and simple yesterday than they ever have before. There was something missing throughout the whole building. There was sort of a vacuum, and everyone wore a searching look.
 It was only a trip to the second floor that the reason for all the peculiar glances could be found Nit Smms. state treasurer for the next few days. had removed the magnifl cent beard that had been admired by all the girls and was the envy of every man in the building.
 Simrns made the statement shortly after election. when he first showed up after a visit to his ranch in Ora ham county that he was going to keep the beard on his face until q democrat was in the governors chair The fact that he removed them yes terday is taken as a good omen by the republican leaders.

They are prepared, he said, to carry into effect the spirit and letter of the law, should it be held constitutional and to this end, in ac- cordance with recommendations of the Goethals' commission precautions have been taken to safeguard the extra remuneration of the workers dating from January 1, 1917, until the decision of the United States supreme court is handed down.

 Explosions Caus> Uneasiness
 FL PASO, Dec. 27.-Three explo- sions that sounded like cannon snots and seemed to come from the Mexican side, filled Fl Paso tonight with rumors of Villa attack on Juarez, until it was learned that they were caused by molten slag escaping and flowing over wet ground at the shelter near here
 A local Mexican paper, Los Sucesos, added to the excitement by issuing an extra at the same hour, proclaiming that a rebel army of 2,G0O men was marching on Juarez. These men, con- manded by Mariana TameZ, were about fifteen miles from Juarez early this af- ternoon, it said It gave Mexican ref ugees as authority that the rebels wore crepe on their arms as token of death to the followers of Carranza.
 Although the paper claimed that Juarez was in terror over the report Americans returning from the Mexican side said the town was at least exter- nally peaceful.

"The news columns of the press have spoken late y about the sharp rise of leather; but the gravity of the situation has not been realized by the public they took it as part of the general rise in the cost of living. The matter is more serious. The price of the better grades of leather has tripled over prices before the war; and is still it's sky rocket course. Sole leather is sold by the pound it is quoted at nearly $1; the price of select sole stock used to be around 32 cents pound. Fine calf and kids sold by the square foot; they are now 60 to 80 cents against former 20 to 30 cents and in white and light colors practically un- obtanable. Shoes, as a result, jump in price over night often $1 pair, and no one can predict the end
 ''The truth is our leather and hides have gone to foreign countries by the million of dollars worth, while all America can get no shipping. So these normal sources of much of our supply of leather are cut off and our domestic eather-not enough under ordinary conditions being exported. So consider proper to speak of this to the public they can form as good an opinion of the outcome as any shoeman They say forewarned is fore almed-you may consider it advisable to lay in reserve of shoes against eventualities."

Scandinavian AViatOrS Will Have
Triplane Built in u. S.

Paris Nov. 18.-Lieut. Commander
KEEL Nyegaard Of the Norwegian Navy
and Captain Hugo Sunstedt Of the
British navy will make the first seri-
Gus attempt since the war began to
fly across the Atlantic.
Commander Nyegaard, who is a
nephew of the Norwegian minister to
France and we'll known aviator, is
the organizer of the undertaking,
which has the semi official backing
Of the Norwegian government. Until
a month ago he was a lieutenant in
the French aerial service, and has
been thrice wounded during the war,
the last time when he fell 1000
meters, alighting in a tree, which
saved his life. Before the war he was
an attache at the Norwegian ministry.
He is a personal friend of the Crown
Prince of Montenegro, and recently re-
ceived a decoration from the Monte
negrin King.
His companion, Captain Sunstedt,
distinguished himself on the eve Of
the war by a record long-distance
flight of 1 500 kilometers. On July 20
he started from Paris at 1 a. M. fly
ing via Bremen to Stockholm, thir-
teen hours on a Maurice Farman BIZ
plane.
Scandinavian aviators intend plac-
ing an order in America for a Curtiss
water triplane, to be constructed after
their own designs. The machine is
to have a wing expansion of 131 feet
lifting capacity Of 1000 kilos, six
driving motors of 100 horsepower
EACH a seventh generating motor, and
an eigth motor to serve for working
the motor boat in case of a forced
descent in mid-Ocean, in which case
the wings would be cut away. AL
though there is to be seating capacity
for eight persons, only two Scandi-
navian pilots and a mechanician are to
| undertake the flight with the aviators
The rest of the passenger space will
be used for gasoline storage.
The triplane is to be ready in April
for a trial fight. 1t is intended to
start the transatlantic flight from
Newfoundland, landing in Ireland,
and flying as much as possible by
night, which is easier for the two
pilots, who as naval men are used to
steering by the stars. Before attempt
ing to cross the ocean the airmen pur-
pose undertaking a preliminary 5000
kilometer overland flight as a formal
test Of the machines power.
Commander Nyegaard will be ac-
companied to America by his wife,
Paris fashion expert for five years and
was married to the Norwegian aviator
a year ago.

Ihls Idea of an exhausted France
puzzles me. Where did it ORIGINATE I?
From all [ can see. France has the
largest trained force, fully equipped
for f1rst-line fighting that she has had
since the war began. Paris appears
more nearly normal, and business is
better than at any other time since
the war began.

missed it, her ball hitting Miss Stir
ling's, and one big chance passed.
Miss Stirling outplayed Miss Caver-
" to the thirteenth green, but once
there the Philadelphia holed ff-
teen-foot putt for and left Miss
Stirling with a six-footer for half.
That is the situation that causes many
a golfer to break, but it didn't worry
the Atlanta girl bit. She made the
putt and halved the hole.
Loser Tried Hard.
A hooked drive on the fourteenth put
Miss Strings ball in trap and cost
her the hole, which Miss Caverly
played perfectly and won, to 8, cut
ting down the Southerner's lead to
2 up.
1t looked as though the fifteenth also
would go TO Miss Caverly, for a fine
second shot left her with a five-foot
putt for 3. She failed to make it and
another golden opportunity was gone.
Miss Caverly made her own oppor-
tunity on the 114-yard sixteenth, hol
ing twenty-fve-foot putt for 2
after Miss Stirling had Clipped up SO
close that she was sure Of a 3. Ii
was a grand putt and came when II
was needed most.
With Miss Caverly only down they
began the seventeenth, and the Phila-
delphia girl made the better drive.
Miss Stirling tried to reach the green
with wood, but fell short Of the brook
rather lucky for her-and it was
Miss Caverly's turn to play. Selecting
an iron, the Philadelphia girl tried 20
carry the brook, but half-topped the
shot and only lucky bound look it
over. AS it was, the ball stopped on
the bank.
Miss Strings third was great
pitch to the green, which ran up to
within six feet of the pin, and 1t was
up to Miss Caverly to do as well.
Standing with one foot in the brook
she made a fine shot and the ball
reached the green, but was twenty feet
from the cup. She missed the long
putt, and Miss Stirling. stepping con
fidently up to her six-footer, holed it
and ended the match.
Howard W. Perrin, vice-president OF
the United States Golf Association,
presented the medals on the seven
teenth green, congratulating Miss
Stirling upon her victory and praisiny
Miss Caverly for her gallant fight.

Stirling, who followed up a sliced drive
with two splendid shots, which put her
ball on the green and gave her a sure
5. Miss Caverly's third was a wretched
shot that almost went into trap and
did bring up in the rough.
After Miss Strings tee shot on the
fifth had landed on the green, about
twenty feet from the pin, Miss Caverly
sliced into a trap at the side. In play
ing out she went over the green into
another trap. After getting out of it
with her third she picked up. Miss
Stirling winning the hole and taking
the lead.
Miss Caverly came right back with a
win at the sixth, obtained by chipping
up to within a foot of the hole from
the side of a bunker, and the match
was square again.
Down the hill to the seventh Miss
Stirling looked like a sure winner, but
she took three puts, her try for
hitting the cup, but refusing 20 go
down. The hole was halved in 8 and
the match was still all square.
Back up the hill 10 the eighth Miss
Stirling played better golf, and wound
up with a 30-foot putt for 4, which
caused the gallery TO burst into APP
plausc, and made her | up.
The ninth was halved in 8, each miss
ing a hard putt for 4 on the sloping
green, and they turned for home with
Miss Stirling / up. She was out in
Al, to "A for Miss Caverly.
Chip Shot Won Tenth.
A chip shot that hit the pin and
dropped only a foot from the hole
helped Miss Stirling to win the tenth
in 4 to 5, increasing her lead to 2 up;
and she made it 3 up on the eleventh,
when Miss Caverly threw the hole
away by topping shot and sending
her ball scuttling across the green and
down the further slope.
With such lead at that stage of the
match Miss Stirling looked like a sure
winner; but as it turned out Miss
Caverly was not through.
A little good luck helped Miss Stir
ling on the twelfth, when her hooked
drive hit the stone wall and bounded
out into the middle course; but even
then she almost lost the hole, for Miss
Caverly had yard putt for win. She
