In his proclamation naming Thurs
day, November 80, as Thanksgiving
day, President Wilson calls on the
United States to aid those cursed with
war by contributing out of our album
dant means. Among other things he
says: "The year that has elapsed
since we last observed our day of
i thanksgiving has been rich in bless
ings to us as a people, but the whole
face of the world has been darkened
by war; In the midst of our peace and
happiness our thoughts dwell with
painful disquiet upon the struggles
and sufferings Of the nations at war,
and Of the peoples upon whom war
has brought disaster without choice
or possibility Of escape on their part.
We cannot think of our happiness
without thinking also Of their pitt
full Distress"

Schall carried every county in the dis
trict over Jepson. Mr.. Schall made the
race as a progressive, while MI. sJep-
son was the regular republican candi-
date, but thousands Of republicans con-
sidered Mr. Schall the better republi-

Mr.. Jepson cannot be considered as a
republican defeat. Mr.. Schall has act

his district, the state, and the nation

commissioner place the total assessa-
BILE valuation of Minnesota at $751;
4O1,766. But from this there should
be deducted moneys and credits to the
amount of $233,289,884, as moneys
and credits are subject only to a three
mills tax, hence the actual assessable
valuation for taxation purposes is

is real estate, and $241, 034,973 is per-

Hughes came out squarely for ma
tional woman suffrage while Wilson
lodged and kept on both sides of the
issue, yet Wilson got the bulk Of the
women's votes in the states that al
ready have woman suffrage.-Fergus
Falls Journal.
Wilson owes his election to the
women voters of western states that
have always heretofore been republi-
can. If they could have voted in
Minnesota Wilson would probably
have carried the state by $4,000. We
are rather inclined to believe that ii
will be some time yet before a stuff
rage amendment to the constitution
is submitted in this state.

Official returns from all the counties
Of the state give Hughes plurality of
800 over Wilson. Hughes total vote
was 1858, Wilson's :179,157. Some
democrats profess to believe that if
there were recount Hughes plurality
would be wiped out. Perhaps that
might be so, and perhaps it might
not. By what process of reasoning
can it be assumed that if there were
errors in counting the vote they we're
all in Hughes favor. A recount would
probably increase Hughes lead.

farmers or friends Of farmers to stand
aside and criticize the new system be-
fore it goes into operation. The thing
to do is to try itSout. y
Two classes Of banks, federal land
banks and joint stock land banks are
provided for by the law, If the for
mer succeed it is not likely that the
latter will do much. Bankers or cap
italists have no control over the fed
eral land banks AS soon as the far
mers borrow enough money from
these banks, they will become, through
their local associations, the sole stock
holders of the banks. 1t is essential
ly a cooperative scheme.
If the farmers want the scheme to
succeed, they must take part in it and
the sooner the better. The banks can
not work at all unless the farmers
form local associations and apply for
loans. The land banks cannot sell any
bonds until they have taken mort
cages from farmers, since the bonds
must be secured by mortgages.
The first loans to farmers, of course,
will be made from the proceeds of the
capital stock subscribed by the federal
government. 1t is understood that the
federal farm loan board intends to
lend this money at per cent, and
those first applying for loans are,
therefore, sure to get them at this
rate, which is lower than most far
mers in Minnesota are now paying.
After the bonds based on these first
mortgages have been sold, the rate of
interest on future loans to farmers
will depend on the rate at which the
bonds are sold. It may be higher than
5 per cent or even lower. If it should
prove to be higher, the first borrowers
will have gained by their promptness.
If it proves to be lower, they will not
lose anything, because the law per-
mits them to pay up their loans and
make new ones at the best available
rate. Farmers, therefore, who
want to borrow money, or to reduce
their present rates Of interest, should
take advantage of the new act just
as soon as it goes into effect. This
they can do only by forming National
Farm Loan Associations.
Some farmers have expressed a
fear that under the new plan they
might somehow be held responsible
for the debts of others. They do not
see why they should be asked to be-
come stockholders in the local asso-
Citations and thus indirectly in the
Federal Land Banks. They are afraid
that they may lose their subscription
to the stock, or even be assessed to
cover loses. There is, of course, a
conceivable element of risk to the
borrower, but the loss could not be
large and the danger of losing any,
thing is so slight as to be absolutely
negligible. If, therefore, a farmer
can save appreciably in his rate of
interest by borrowing from the Fed
eral Land Bank, or if he feels that
the plan of long time loans with
amortization is a material advantage
he should not hesitate to become a
borrower by reason Of the insignificant
risk which he takes by becoming a
stakeholder.
The division of agricultural econo-
mics Of the University Of Minnesota
will be glad to furnish information
or assistance to any group Of farmers
desiring to participate in the new
credit system.

Some Election Facts.

Wilson is the first president that
has been elected to two successive
terms, with the exception Of Mc-Kin-
ley, since the time of Grant. He is
the first democrat to be given two
successive terms since the time of
Jackson. He is the first to be elected
without the vote Of New York since
ante-bellum times. His majority in
the electoral college is the smallest of
any President since Hayes. His cleo
ton is the first in which the West
united with the south against the east.
His election is the first in which Min
nesota assumed the roll Of doubtful
state.-Belle PLANE Herald.
