ST. Louis Gets A
FARM LOAN BANK
Omaha, Wichita, Houston, Berk.
eley, Spokane and st. Paul
Other Points in West.

Washington, Dec. 27.-St. Louis
| Omaha, Wichita, Houston, Berkeley
Cal, Spokane, Wash, St. Paul, New
Orleans, Louisville, Columbia, S. c..
Baltimore and Springfield, Mass, have
been chosen as locations for II FEEDER
ri farm loan banks.
The II districts into which the coun-
try is divided, were announced by the
Farm Loan Board today. The st.
Louis district is:
District No. 6-Ilinois, Missouri and
Arkansas. (St. LOUISE
The banks will be established as
soon as practicable. Under the law,
each will have capital of S75C,OOO.
Applications for loans have been
pouring into the board in great vol
ume recently and it is estimated that
q sum more than 20 times in excess
O. the combined capital stock could be
Ised in making loans.
Almost the first work of the banks
after approving and issuing loans will
BE- the issuance Of farm loan bonds, a
new form Of security in this country
The bonds will be issued in denomina-
tons IS small as $25, it is expected,
and Will bear interest at a rate 1 per
e-nt less than the interest rates charg-
81 farmers on their loans.
What this interest rate WI. be has
rot been determined. 1t is limited by
g Jaw to rate of 6 per cent. The
ozpectation is that it will not exceed
; per cent at first, and subsequently,
nay be lowered.
Loans on farm land are limited by
the law TO 90 per cent value of the
land, and may be payable in from five
to 40 years. As fast as loans are
made, bonds will be issued to cover

them so that at no time. under the
present plan, will banks entire capi-
tai be tied up in loans to the detriment
of other applicants.
One Of the chief tasks now confront
ing the board is to find experienced
employees for the new banks. More
than 5000 applications for positions
have been received. The appointments
will be exempt from civil service regu-
lations, but the board intends to as
Semble a corps of men experienced in
banking. The head of each bank will
be designated as the registrar They
probably will be only residents of the
districts involved and preferably at
torneys.
The banks will be organized tempo
rarily by the appointment by the board
of five directors for each bank, who
shall be residents of the district in
which the bank is located. The direc-
tors will select from among their num-
Der the banks officers. The capital
stock Of each bank will be open to
public subscription for so days. If
il is not entirely subscribed at the
end of that time, tbe Government is
authorized under the law to take the
unsubscribed amount.
Through a process of having Dor
rowers subscribe in small amounts to
the capital stock. it is expected thai
the banks after beginning operations,
will be virtually cooperative institu-
lions. The permanent organization &c
the banks provides for nine directors,
six of whom shall be selected BY as
sociations OF farmer borrowers. the
other three being appointed by tie
Federal board.

The HIGH COST OF
LIVING And WHERE
ITS SOLUTION LIES
(By Beorge Safford)


| There is vital objection to the
Compensation Act proposed by the
Missouri Workmen's Compensation
Conference, which seems so clear that
no two reasonable men can differ about
it-so plain no one, however humble
can fail to underestimate stendency
to increase the high cost of living.
Under our present liability law, the
negligent employer pays his injured
employees damages out of his own
profits, while under the proposed
! Workmen's Compensation Act the in
jured would be paid not out of the
profits of the negligent employer, but
out of the pocket of the public.
To illustrate:
J Two firms, under our present law,
under which only about half of our
employers insure, are engaged in the
2anufacture of the same product. The
first is so careful his employees escare
without injury, the second ncg.irc1t,-

posed by the Workmen's COmpensa-
ton Conference, both employers would
come under it and both would be COM
PEELED, by its provisions, to insure.
Both would then sell at cost plus
profit, plus insurance premiums which,
except for slight discrimination, would
nc practically the same for both. The
careful could not undersell the negli-
gent. It would cost the one as much

AUTOPSY WHO RUNS
 DOWN BOY ARRESTED
Paul Poriiros Arraigned in Court
 Victim in Serious Condition

Paul Profiros, proprietor of the New Britain Baking company, was arraigned before Judge James T. Mes kill in police court on charge of violating the motor vehicle law, the complaint setting forth that yesterday Porfiros was guilty of operating motor car without a license and with evading responsibility. He pleaded not guilty and the case was continued until Thursday morning.
 Late yesterday afternoon as PorfirOs was driving his automobile truck on Oak street he ran down a small Ar menian boy, Kaccdoor, the son of George Hogopian of 17 North street. The police were notified and took the youngster to the hospital wheRe his condition is regarded as grave. It is claimed that following the ac- cident Porfiros drove away without re- porting it to the police. He was ar rested by Officer William c. Hart.
 Everybody Gets Off Today.
 Today was a happy day for those brought to trial, there not being a single conviction that carried with it any penalty. Louis Bayer, charged with assaulting his brother, Morris Bayer in his Church street tailoring establishment Saturday night changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on request of his lawyer. M D. Sake. Lawyer Sake explained that the brothers quarreled over a business deal which should be heard before a civil court rather than a criminal court. As the assistant prosecutor had no desire to press the case, the court remarked that since brothers were willing to forgive each other the state had no desire to insist. Judgment was supended.
 On advice of Judge Meskill, after he had heard the facts in the case as put forth by Lawyer Saxe, Prose- cutor Woods entered a nolle in the case against Mrs. DOretta Karousa, charged with stabbing Samuel Ka- rOusa of Hartford. Lawyer Sake ex- plained that the Hartford man had been slandering Mrs. karOusa and re- peated his insults to her face where upon, in a fit of anger, she picked up a small pen knife and cut him slight ly. He precipitated the assault and deserved all the punishment he got," the lawyer said.
 'Why don't you enter a nolle?' the judge asked, whereupon the prescott tor did.
 The cases against William B. Stod- dard and Aaron Almquist, of O'Del's and Miller &5 Hansen's drug stores re- spectively, charged with. selling liquor on Sunday, were continued again this m orning. Stoddard is ill and Ann quist, through Judge B. F. Gaffney, asked that his case be continued. They were continued until June 22

 Plans For Next Weeks Event.

With all arrangements perfected for the coming carnival of New Britain lodge, B. P. o. E., which opens next Monday evening on the spacious grounds in the. rear of the Elks home on Washington street, indications point to one of the most successful under talxings of the popular organization. At the meeting of the general com mittee last evening, final details were completed. The automobile parade which will precede the opening prom ises to create considerable Competi- tion for the gold prize to be awarded for the most handsomely decorated car in the parade to be held about the city, many of the owners of cars in the lodge have commenced plans for dec- orating their vehicles already.
 The booths and features inside the canvas fence will far surpass the at tempts of the lodge last year, which is, in itself, saying something. Pretty girls who always assist in making Elk affairs a success, will be in evidence this year, the committee having se- cured most of the Hardware City belles to assist them in making the af- fair one to be remembered.
