LOW INTEREST
Farmers Will be Able to Get Loans From
the Government at Four and
Half Per Cent.

Washington, d. c., Oct. l0.-Special
to Sioux City Journal: If Sioux City
does not succeed in It's endeavors to land
one of the farm loan banks in the com
petition for which she is known to be
foremost among the cities in the great
northwest, there still remains some
solace for prospective patrons of the
banks.
They are to receive their loans at the
low interest rate of A! per cent. FIVE
per cent is the highest interest that
will be charged, but all indications now
point TO the prospect that the average
rate demanded will be not more than AZ
per cent.
The farm loan act provides that loans
should be made TO farmers at not more
than l per cent above the interest rate
on the bonds. After consultation with
bankers throughout tue north, the farm
loan board, it was learned today, has
fixed per cent as the interest on bonds
The belief that loans to farmers may
he as low as Al per cent is based on cal
culations by government experts that
the farm loan banks can operate on !
per cent of the money.

GEORGE oooNs FOR SENATOR.

George Coons has been resident of
this county for the past nine years CON
ducting large mercantile and grocery
establishment and ranch at Oral. Dur
ing that time he has been one of the
livest wires in the county when it comes
to boosting everything for its good both
in financial way and by lending his
presence to every meeting and taking
an active part for the upbuilding of the
entire county. To show that he is vital
ly interested in the county and would
work for its advancement if elected to
the state senate We will enumerate some
of the movements with which he has
been connected as prime mover and
an active officer: President of he Fall
River County Agricultural Extension
Association, one OF the best things in
the county treasurer OF the Angostura
Irrigation Associat tion, one of the biggest
propositions 10 the state; president of
the Farmers Club of Oral, booster out
fit for that community; and director
of the Fall River-Custer County Fair
Association, one of the best fairs in the
state.
A man who is interested in all these
movements cannot be far from being the
man we want to represent this district
at Pierre this winter. We are going to
prophesy that the people of these two
counties want George Coons as the next
state senator and will give him a hand
some majority this fall.-Hot Springs
