BRYAN WILL START ON
HIS PEACE TOUR SOON
Nebraskan Has Decided to Speak
Against Wilson Defence Policy.

William J. Bryan is to make an
ocean to ocean campaign against
President Wilson's national defence
program. He has definitely decided
to "go after" the President on the
stump and will not stop until he has
spoken in every city of importance
from New York to San Francisco.
Definite word reached Mr.. Bryan's
friends in Washington from Miami,
Florida, the Bryan winter home, that
Mr.. Bryan openly Would fight the
President While he has not fixed the
dates for his speaking tour, Mr.. Bryan
has notified his leutenants in Con-
-gress that his first anti-defense speech
will be delivered in New York City.

Mr.. Bryan will go before the country

Bryan member of Congress Monday.
Mr.. Bryan is convinced that the presi-

Congress from that section who are in

Supporters of large army and
navy are not disturbed over the COM
ing Bryan activities and predict that
when the subject of defense comes be-
fore Congress it will pass both
branches by an overwhelming vote.

This is not the way TO procure an
incomparably greatest navy. And if
Mr.. Wilson's judgment is to prevail it
is evident that radical changes will
have to occur in the Navy Department
The shortest cut to such reform. and
the most effective remedy, would be
to dismiss Secretary Daniels. Such
action would afford convincing proof
that the President is in earnest in his
Judgment as to what the navy should
be.

JOU RNEY OF FARM LOAN
BOARD ACROSS CONTINENT
ENLIGHTENING
Even Bankers Are Friendly To It and
Show Willingness to Aid in Making
It Effective; Say It Will Benefit
Them.

1TOm the ACla0C1C 10 CAe Iaclt1c
through the choicest agricultural
sections Of the country the FEEDER
al Farm Loan Board has reached
here with abundant proof that
the farmers Of at least fifteen
states are ready and anxious to
take advantage of the benefits
which are theirs under the pro-
visions Of the Federal Farm Loan
Act.
Seldom if ever has so much inter-
est been shown by the people Of the
country in any legislative measure as
that shown by the thousands who at
tended the sessions Of the Farm Loan
Board held in the northern tier of
states from Maine to Washington.
Archbishop Ireland spoke at din
ner rendered the board following an
enthusiastic meeting, attended by
large delegations of farmers from all
points Of Minnesota, and his utter
ance was typical Of those made by
other leading men at the various
Bankers Friendly.
The journey of the Farm Loan
Board demonstrated that a large ma
jority of the bankers of the territory
visited are in favor of the law and
have expressed willingness to aid in
putting its provisions into effect.
This is particularly true Of such
states as Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa,
the Dakotas, Montana and Washing
ton. Bankers who have made profits
in the shape of commissions and
bonuses ON loans are ready to sacri-
flee the income they have derived
from this source and let the farm
loan business be done by the Federal
Land Banks soon to be established.
They say it will hasten the develop
ment of their respective sections and
increase their general business to an
extent which will more than make up
their losses in commissions.
A group Of Montana financiers
signed a petition that Land Bank
be located in the town where their
own institutions are located. These
bankers have been receiving interest
rates never lower than s per cent, or
10 per cent, and frequently consider
ably higher. Yet the bankers of the
city Of Billings unanimously peti-
toned the Board at its hearing in
Helena to locate the bank in their
city.
! Some Montana Cases
Many pathetic cases Of farmers who
have been burdened with debt almost
their entire life as the result Of falling
into the clutches Of unscrupulous
money lenders were unearthed by the
Farm Land Board. In many instances
not only farms, but stock, homes and
next years crops are mortgaged. This
is particularly true of the homestead
ers in Montana. Men who came west
to take up lands were unable to get
ahead because of the exorbitant rates
of interest they were obliged to pay.
This situation is duplicated to some
extent in northern Michigan and the
two Dakotas. The Farm Loan Act
will permit them to obtain money for
a long period at not more than 6 per
cent and possibly less. They may en-
JOY its use for a period Of from 5 to
! 40 years, and return it in small an
nual installments, and if they pay but
l per cent of the loan a year their
entire obligation will be liqaidated in
33 years. And if they care to have
the loan for 40 years it will amount to
less than l per cent yearly.

Damage Is Slight.

In many sections reports indicate
that no material damage was done,
but damage to garden truck was wide
spread, and in many localities some
damage was done to late grain. al
falfa, flax and corn.
A considerable amount Of the corn
was matured, most Of the flax, alfalfa
and grain had been harvested. and
the losses, therefore, were much less
than would have resulted from an
earlier frost.
Frost is expected over the greater
portion of the state at about this
season of the year, although it was
earlier than usual in a number of the
agricultural districts.
Damage From Hail.
The temperature averaged below
normal. There was no precipitation,
except at places in the eastern por-
tion where showers and some local
hailstorms occurred. The records
show that the damage from hail this
season is greater than usual. The
losses do not effect the total yield to
any great extent, but many localities
have suffered severe losses from hail.
The close Of the week found farm
work generally well in hand. Har-
vesting and haying were nearly COM
pleted and threshing was we'll ad-
vanced. The normal acreage of VIM
ter wheat has been seeded and much
plowing has been accomplished. The
