take the farm loan bonds at four per
cent, the farmer will have to pay but
five per cent. It will, of course, take
time to see what the money market
will do in this respect. And if the sys-
tenn can be worked at cost of less
than one per cent, the farmer will get
his money at actual cost.
Farmers may organize at once. The
government wants it plainly under
stood that farmers can form prelim-
mary organizations at once. They
can have their directors chosen. as
we'll as their president, vice-president,
lean committee, and secretary treas
urer. But they canot receive their
charter, nor can they borrow money
at the Land Bank until it has been
located and organized. This may take
several months. But, if the farmers
have the preliminary work done ahead,
they can make their applications to

SWAT THE WEEDS.

Weeds cause enormous losses IN
North Dakota farming, yet the only
way most of them can live from year
to year is that they be given chance
to ripen seed. If the weed can be
swatted any time from the time it
terminates till it is in blossom, it is
the end of that weed, except in the
case of quack grass, SOW thistle and
Canada thistle. The way wild oats in
crease is by ripening before the grain
In which they grow, and so letting
some of the seed fall to seed the land
for next year. Mustard works a good
deal the same. When some crop, such
as corn or alfalfa or grass crop, is
grown in rotation with the grain crop,
the wild oats are doomed. Why not
break up the game of the weeds by
once in a while bringing in a condi-
ton that prevents them from going to
seed?

THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN ACT
Twelve Articles, Article 6.
Organize for Cheap Credit.

The new Act provides credit only to
organized farmers. 1t requires only
ten farmers to form the local farm
loan association, but any number may
join. And the farmer, by joining with
his fellow-borrowers. becomes liable
only to the extent of ten per cent of
the amount of his own loan. His own
loan must range somewhere between
500 and $4,000, so his liability
ranges between ten dollars and one
thousand dollars, depending on the
size Of his loan.
The Federal government will print,
with it's own plates and dies, farm
loan bonds. These will be handed over
to the twelve Land Banks. The farm
er will make out his mortgage to the
Land Bank. His local loan association
will indorse the mortgage. The Sec
retary-T Treasurer will send it in by mail
tc the Land Bank. The Land Bank will
return, by mail in current funds, mon
ey to cover the farmers loan. The
Secretary Treasurer will turn these
funds over to the farmer.
The Land Bank now becomes the
motgagee. But the Land Bank sells to
investors, and to the general money
market, the farm loan bonds look alike
and are equally safe and saleable.
Hence they will be put on the market
in place Of the farm mortgages, for
no two farm mortgages are alike, be-
ing based on different lands. In this
way the Land Bank will get money to
supply the organized farmers. To
start Que with each Land Bank will
have at lease $500 of cash capi-
tai. After that they will secure their
supply Of funds by selling farm loan
bonds as fast as farm mortgages come
In.
As mortgages are paid of, farm
loan bonds are called in and paid of.
The interest rate on farm loan bonds
Is at the outset, one per cent less than
the interest rate on the underlying
farm mortgage. Thus, If investors will

Norway. In 1867 she came to the
United States and settled at Rush
ford, Mimi, where she lived until 1881
when she moved to her present home.
She has made her home with her
daughter and son, Julia and Thorn
Thompson, the latter being the first
to take up a homestead in the Chey-
enne valley.
Mrs. Hovde has endured many hard
ships but in spite Of this her consti-
tuition is still strong and rugged. She
was left alone to take care of her
eleven children while the youngest
was six years old.
Great-grandma, as she is known in
this neighborhood, has seven living
children, thirty-two grand children,
thirty-nine great grand children, and
two great-great grand children. Most
of these live in and around Rushford.

DETECTS THE LEFTHANDED
Prof. Franklin Jones of the Univer
sity of North Dakota has invented al
instrument to detect lefthandedness il
children. He calls it brachiomete1
and claims to be able to detect left.
hardness in an infant.
Out of 10000 children the Brachio-
meter test proved that Alt were born
lefthanded, or in other words had the
ulna bone of the left arm trife long
er than that of the right, which is
natures method of indicating which
arm is to be used.
Professor Jones believes that ma
lures intentions should be followed,
and claims that the attempt to make
the lefthanded child use the right arm
may lead to speech affections, such as
stammering, or suffering, because the
speech connections are partly linked
with the nerves of the arm.

The case of E. c. Benson, formerly
a farmer living near Lone Tree,
against Chas. Stevenson, Berthold
banker, resulted in a disagreement
after the jury had been out over "a
hours in district court. w. H. Sibbald
was attorney for Benson and Steven
son was represented by Bradford &
Nash. The case was ably handled on
both sides.
Benson held a sale in 1908 and re-
turned to Vermont. Stevenson clerked
his sale and certain other business was
left in his charge. Benson claimed that
thru the bankers negligence, in not re-
cording papers in time, another mort
gage was recorded prior to one which
he held on piece of land. The defend
ant claimed that he had done the work
according to agreement with Benson.

Bill Filed In chanesry

On the 10th inst, there was filed
in Chancery Court of Henderson
county a bill by F. H. Watson and
wife, Mrs. Vena Watson, of Jones'
boro, Ark, and Usher Hearn, of
Lexington, seeking to set up a will
alleged to have been made in the
year 1914 by the late P. j. DENIM

queathed to Mrs. Watson the sum
Of $500, to each of her two daugh-
tiers the sum Of $4,000, to Usher
