DEVILS LAKE HAS SHOOTING
ARRAY ON MONDAY NIGHT

Monday night there was a shooting
ARRAY at the Ramsey Cafe in this city
and as a result Hank Gilbertson is in
the hospital with bullet in his body
and Roy Martin is in the county Jail
awaiting the outcome of the effects OF
the shooting and if Gilbertson should
die he will probably be charged with
murder.
A short time ago Miss Irene McCul-
len became the bride of Martin and as
she had been going with Gilbertson for
two or three years and had been en-
gagged to him, he brooded over the
matter and Monday evening went to
the restaurant where Martin and his
wife were working and got into an al
tercation, and the result was that Mar
tin pulled a gun and took three shots
at him, only one taking effect. The sec
ond bullet went under his collar bone
and lodged near his spine and while
the outcome of the wound cannot be
ascertained at this time there is a
probability that he will recover, al
though there is danger Of of paralysis.
Martin gave himself up and is now in
|jail.-Devils Lake Journal.

Loan Bonds, issued in denominations
Of $25, $50, 500, $500 or $1,000. These
bonds will bear rate of interest not
to exceed five per cent. The farmers
mortgage will always pay just one per
cent more than these bonds. This Sc
curity will be both standard and liq-
uid. These bonds will be free from
all taxes, federal, state, municipal, or
local. They will be a lawful invest
ment for all fiduciary or trust funds,
and may be accepted as security for
al public deposits. In short, they are
expected to be equal or superior to the
securities used by the great corpora
tons, therefore, it is believed that the
money market will absorb quantities
Of the securities. They can not bear
more than five per cent interest, but
this is a high rate for an absolutely
gild-edge security. Of course, if they
can be sold at four per cent it will
mean money at five per cent to the
farmer. The amount of the Farm Loan
Bonds to be issued is unlimited, de-
pending entirely upon the number of
first mortgages for sale by the farmer
and the number of Farm Loan Bonds
the investors will buy at five per cent
or less. 1t is believed that the present
money market will absorb many hun
dreds of millions of these securities.
and also that small investors, and
money-savers all over the country will
form a new money market by acquir-
ing the habit of putting their savings
in this new form of security. If this
proves to be the case, the Act will fur
nsh plenty of cheap money to the
farmer with the proper secu:ity. 1t
should be added that it is the aim of
the Act to furnish the money to farm
ers at actual cost, which is not to ex-
coed the one per cent margin mention
ed above, and may prove to be as low
as one-half Of one per cent. In this
case, should the bonds sell at five per
cent, the farmer would get his money
at five and one-half per cent.--James

THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN ACT
Twelve Articles; Number 1.

THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN ACT
Twelve Articles; Number l.
The money Market" and the Farmer
According to a government report,
the farmers of the United States have
rm-mortgage debt of 1888, 1885,
900. This money is loaned to farmers
by banks, by life insurance companies,
by mortgage companies, and by pri-
vate investors. The life insurance
companies have loans of five billion
dollars, only one-seventh of which is
loaned to farmers. The estimated
farm mortgage debt of North Dakota
is $1OO,364,O00. About twenty mil
lion dollars of this amount comes from
life insurance companies. The agents
of these companies charge commits
sion on the loan, ranging usually from
one to two per cent, and averaging 1.S
per cent The interest rate paid by
the farmer averages 81 per cent for
the whole state. North Dakota banks
loan about $5,OOO,000 Of their funds on
North Dakota farm mortgages. These
banks handle about $42,000,000 Of out
side money, on which they receive a
commission. A person or corporation
borrowing money goes to the money
market for the loan, thus there are
many money markets. The state OF
North Dakota has debt of S578,700
bearing interest at four per cent. This
money was borrowed from state school
funds. These funds will eventually
amount to about $5O,O0O,OOO. Many
counties have bonded debt. One
county recently built new court
house, borrowing for that purpose
100000 from the State School fund
at four per cent for twenty years. to
be paid back on the installment plan
Most North Dakota cities have bond
ed debt, bearing interest at rates rang
ing from four to six per cent. Hun
dreds of school districts are likewise
borrowers on their bonds, the rate OF
interest ranging from four to seven
per cent. Thus the farmer is seen to
pay more than his school, county
municipal or state government, al
though they occupy the same territory
The great industries Of the country
such as transportation or manufacture
ing, have access to the central money
markets, such as New York, Boston
and Chicago. Thus the railroads have
mortgage debt of ten billion dollars
the interest on which ranges from four
to seven per cent. They have two ad-
vantages over the farmer: They have
direct access to the great money mar
kets of the east Consisting chiefly of
banks, savings banks, trust companies,
and insurance companies); they have
standardized liquid securities; stand
ardized in that the railroad bond is
we'll known on the money market, is
familiar to all investors throughout
the length and breadth Of the land, is
usually in convenient denominations
such as $500, $500, $1,000, etc, and has
definite earning power; liquid, in that
| it can be turned into cash through the
banks or stock exchanges, and bust
ness day of the year, without loss and
without delay.
The Farm Loan Act aims to furnish
the farmer cheap money. This result
will come, it is hoped, through giving
the farmer access to the money mar
kets Of the country. The Act provides

JAPS MAY EXTEND
SPHERE IN CHINA
CONTINUED on page 81

Toxic, May 31.-Great interest Is
being shown here In the negotiations
between Japan and Peking in regard
to the revolutionary disturbances in
Nantung province. The cabinet con-
sidered the situation at lengthy ses-
sion today. Government officials deny
reports that it has been decided to ex-
tend the sphere In which Japanese
military guards have been posted on
the Chinese railroad to other points
in Shantung where Japanese citizens
are believed to be in danger. There is
strong opinion, however, that such
a step is possible unless Peking ar
ranges for protection of Japanese in
a more satisfactory manner to the I'm
perial government.
The Japanese minister at Peking re-
quested the Chinese government on
May 80 to take proper steps for the
safeguarding Of Japanese lives and
property In Shantung. Recent reports
from this province stated that the
revolutionary movement, which has
already resulted in the formation of
a provisional government in the south
and the secession OF several provinces
including HUMAN and Sze-Chuang,
was making rapid headway. In al
most every instance the outbreaks of
the revolutionists were accompanied
with anti-Japanese demonstrations.
