Farm Loan Board and
Twelve Land Banks
Provided.
6 PER CENT. MORTGAGES
Senate Measure Greatly At
Variance---Expect Easy
Adjustment.

Washington, May 15.-The Glass
Rural Credits Bill, providing for a
Federal farm loan board and a system
of twelve land banks, passed the
House late to-day by vote of 295 to
10. A similar measure already has
passed the Senate, and the differences
probably will be worked out soon in
conference.
Little opposition was encountered
by the bill, which was piloted through
the House by Representative Glass,
of Virginia, and Representative
Phelan, of Massachusetts. Under
its terms the land banks would lend
money to farmers at not more than 6
per cent. interest, through local loan
associations, on mortgages running
from five to thirty-six years. The
mortgages would be used by the
banks as the basis for farm loan
bonds.
There are many differences be-
tween the Senate House bill to be adj
iusted. The Senate measure would
capitalize each farm loan bank at
$4,000, the Houses at $3.50, 0O0
The Senate would authorize loan as
sociations with unlimited liability, the
House would not. The Senate would
limit loans on lands to so per cent.
with no recognition of Improvements;
the House proposes to grant 60 per
cent. on land values and 20 per cent.
on value on permanent insurable i'm
provements.
MAJORITY DECISION.
The Senate proposes that no loan
shall be made if the three members of
the local loan committee are not
unanimous in their appraisement; the
House would require a majority re-
port Of the committee. The Senate
makes the minimum loan $500; the
! House of 500. The Senate would
charge borrowers 10 per cent. inter-
est on all defaulted payments; the
House would charge only contract
rates. The Senate would require To-
cal association to make good all de-
faults within thirty days after notice
from land bank; the House would
provide a special reserve to protect
associations.
The Senate Bill requires advance
payments on the principal in sums OF
500 or multiples and the House $25
or multiples. The Senate makes the
actual earning power of the land a
principal factor and the House makes
the agricultural value the principal
basis of appraisement,

ENDLESS CHAIN LETTERS PUZZLE
 FOREIGN EMBASSY
Torture by British Is Claimed for Those Who WiII Not
 Enlist.
PRISON TACTICS USED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. - In some mysterious fashion. an end less chain letter has been started in this county which is resulting in a flood of letters to the British Embassy here urging that represen- tations be made to the British gov ernment against the practice of tor turing conscientious objectors who have refused to serve in the British army.
 Each writer states that his at tention has been called to reports of cruelty to these Conscientious obiectors" practced by the wardens of prisons where, supposedly, those refusing military service are con fined. No suggestion is given in any of the letters as to where these reports come from or what is the basis of the allegation.
 It is noticeable that in every let ter the same request is made that the matter be called to the atten- tion of the British government. British officials are endeavoring to find out where this anti-British pro- paganda started Some few of the writers are evidently educated per sons. but the most of the letters are badly written and badly spell ed and apparently are registering the blind pacifst sentiment which is supposed to have gained such q control with certain elements ir this country.

Important to Home Voters

The election of district judge this
fall has an especial interest to all
the counties in the eastern section of
the district in that it is to own their
financial interest to have one of the
two judges located in this section so
that all matters to be heard before
the court IN chambers can be heard at
small expense to the litigants, and all
criminal cases can be heard at once
and save the counties big money in
care and keep of prisoners. In the
first year of Judge Hillyer's term
this saving amounted to $500 to
Prowers county alone. Judge Hillyer
has made an able and efficient judge
and the citizens of this section Of the
district should unite in keeping him
in the position.

ly on them, and it requires men of
good judgment and business sense to
fill these positions rightly, and es-
pecially should they be men identified
with and conversant with the needs
Of the county. In this connection it
would be hard to find two better men
for the positions than A. P. Knuckey
of the first district and C. C. Sterrett
of the third district. Both are sue
cessful managers of their own business
affairs and have made good. Mr..
Knuckey is a solid business man
while Mr. Sterrett is a substantial
farmer. Both are men of high stand
ing and integrity and the county's
business will be well looked after if
entrusted TO them.
