RURAL CREDIT LAW
MAKES MONEY CHEAP
Former Righ-lnterest Agencies
Rush to Reduce Rates to
the Farmers.
BIGGER LOANS AT LESS COST
May Borrow Half Of Land Value
at Less Than Five Per Cent
Effect Already Being Felt
Strongly.

The effect of the new rural credit
law, passed by the Democratic Admin
lstration, already is being felt In lower
interest rates, although the land banks
have not yet been organized. Testi-
mony to this effect is being given at
the hearings held by the Federal Farm
Loan Board In various western cities.
At the hearings In Nebraska, numer-
Gus 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 to 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 n 640-acre "Kinkald" 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
13 per cent.
This now is stopped by the coming
competition OF the new rural credits
law. Loan agents are rushing into
Nebraska TO make five-year loans at
lower rates, to forestall the operation
OF the new law.
Lodge Protecting Banks.
This may account for the attack
made on the Democratic rural credit
measure by Senator Lodge, at Bever
ly, Mass, on Sept. %, when he stated
that money could be borrowed on bet
ter terms from regular agencies than
under the rural credit act.
Mr.. Lodge declares that this act will
endanger the present National and
cooperative banks and tend TO break
them down, according to the report OF
his speech I'm the Boston Globe.
The farmers of the West, who have
suffered eXorbltant interest rates for
years, are not worrying about the
banks. Their testimony before the
Farm Loan Board showed that they
are enthusiastic over the new law, and
ready to help put IL In successful op-
Grafton.
| Benefits 20 Farmers.
The new farm loan act provides
means by which farmers can form CO.
operative or joint stock associations
and borrow from the regional Federal
Farm Loan Bank on the security Of
their land. Ten farmers can form one
of these associations. They can Dor
row up to 80 per cent. OF the value Of
their land, for period running up to
forty years.
The loan is repayable in small an
nual installments, or can be paid in
full at any time. The estimated in
terest rate is per cent. The farmer
who borrows will share In the profits
of the business, thereby reducing his
interest rate TO O still lower figure

e. H. Sothern has announced that at
the end of the current season he will
retire from the stage, and with his
wife, Julia Marlowe, will make their
home in the country in Warwickshire,
in England. After his season in Bos-
ton in repertoire he will go to Phila-
delphia for an engagement, and then
go back to New York, where he plans
revival of "If | Were King" Miss
Marlowe has completely recovered her
health, but says she will not risk an
other breakdown by acting again. The
two plan to devote their time in leisure
and study.
A new play, 1.-THE Cinderella Man,
by Edward Childs Carpenter, has been
produced in New York. 1t tells story
Of poor young author who is be-
friended by a young girl Of wealth in
search Of romance, who plays the role
OF fairy godmother to the young man,
with the usual happy result Shelley
Hull and Phoebe Foster had the two
leading roles.
G. NJ. Garfield and his Honey
moon Girls" of eighteen persons, are
being greetd by packed houses at the
Palace.
This company is beyond doubt the
best that could have been secured for
an opening and merits the packed
houses 1t is drawing.
The play for tonight, 1.-THE Girl
That is All the Candy" is condensed
version of one of the big musical
comedies now playing on the road.
1t is not slap-stick comedy, but a
play with a plot and fifteen musical
numbers lasting two hours. A chorus
OF nine petite and lovely girls is one
of the chief features.
OF the male contingent of this
company are Edward Mills, Richard
Dickinson, Carl Wallner, Paul John
son and G. NJ. Garfield. They are all
actors and comedians of no mean de-
gree. In short the show is corker
from start to finish, clean, classy and

Comedy Part is Mack Sennetts
Masterpiece and It is in
Four Reels.

"The Edge of the Abyss" is the
Triangle play to be seen today and
tomorrow at the Bijou theater. Mary
ROLAND, Frank Mills and Willard
Mack are in the leads. Mary Boland
represents butterfly of fashion, and
brings out strongly the tickle nature
of a. girl who is quick to run the
gamut Of emotion in search of new
sensation. Miss Boland is convincing
and realistic in her work. Mr.. Mills
plays with power the roll of a hard
working lawyer, while Willard Mack
has all the little mannerisms Of the
hardened criminal. He is especially
effective in the scene where he con-
fronts the wife and her admirer as
they are about to elope.
The Keystone comedy, "a Sub
marine Pirate" with Sid Chaplin and
a host Of fun makers is the comic hit
Of the year. 1t is in four reels. Mack
sennett says it is his masterpiece.
This big nine reel program will be
shown five times only each day

Gocthnls,s Work is Done.

Major General Goethals's insis-
tcncc upon the acceptance of his re
signation as governor Of the canal
zone and the presidents final con
sent to his retirement from the
isthmus should be taken as a definite
assurance that the generals work
is done and that the waterway is
again open, with every prospect Of
remaining open For the American
people have learned to look upon
Cocktails as the last man to leave an
important job unfinished, says tn"
Philadelphia Ledger. and they would
be loath to believe that any civil en-
ployment. however profitable, would
tempt him to abandon the task at
Panama while serious doubt remain
ed that the difficulties at Culcbra
have been permanently overcome 1t
Is not to be supposed, however. that
General Cocktails would be willing
to remain for the rest Of his life at
Panama merely directing the remov-
al of cvcry-rcCurring slide. Such
an assumption would have to be bas-
cd on the theory that the great un-
dertakinE at Panama is failure
and that the millions which the
United States has poured into the
great ditch have been finally and ir-
retriveably lost in the Quicksnnds.
There is fortunately nothing to
warrant this assumption; and while
the scientists and engineers hold CON
Trajectory views as to the causes OF
the trouble at Culebra and as TO the
prospect OF its recurrence. nothing has
occurred TO shake the faith Of the
public In General Cocktails assur-
anCes on the subject. He will leave
the isthmus, and before long the
army, with a record of which any
engineer officer might well be proud.
He has earned the gratitude of the
nation for the accomplishment of a
stupendous task.
