the money and scenic highway of
this kind is a permanent improvement
that builds beauty and service into

would be; an asset to Nauvoo's nat

Everyone knows that scenery and

much profit and inestimably pleasant,
then why should we not continue the

embody many of his observations
made on the government expedition
to the Hawaiin islands in 1902.
Professor Nutting is an authority on

Another big expedition was the
one made by the government to Ha-

fessor Nutting was aboard as one of
the civilian naturalists. For many
years, Professor Nutting was con-
nected with the United States bureau
of fisheries and has done much work
for the government in writing up the
various expeditions.
The University Of Iowa has one OF
the best museums OF zoology of any
state institution in this country. This
museum has been built up by a
series of expeditions sent out In the
last thirty years. There have been
ninety Of these and Professor Nutting
has been on a great many of them.

Effect Already Being Felt
Strongly.

The effect of the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Admin
istration, already is being felt in lower
interest rates, although the Ian banks
have not yet been organized. Testi-
mOny to his effect is being given at
the hearings held blythe Federal Farm
Loan Board in various western cities.
At the hearings in Nebraska, numer-
u farmers stated that interest rates
in the homesteading section Of that
State already have been, reduced from
one to two per cent. by the prospec-
tive competition of the thirty 70 forty
year loans that the land banks soon
will be making.
The average loan that an insurance
company or other loan agency would
make on a 64O-acre "Kinkaid" claim
was $1,000. The commission deducted
from this left the farmer $3.50. He
paid interest at from 8 to 10 per cent.
for five years ON $1,000, making his
average net interest rate from IL to
10 per cent.
This now is stopped by the coming
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska to make five-year- loans at
lower rates, to fOrestall the operation
of the new law.

made on the Democratic rural credit

Mr.. Lodge declares that this act will

them down, according to the report OF
his speech in the Boston Globe.
The farmers of the West, who have
suffered exOrbitant interest rates for
years, are not worrying about the
