BAGNELL PLACE SOLD.
James Pearson. Residing on Mar
shall Place, Buys it for North
ern Syndicate.

Last week Samuel Bagnell again
sold his plantation of I44o acres
near Hankinson poStof1ce The sale
was made to James Pearson. who
has charge of the Marshall place
formerly owned BY Foster & Doch-
terman. who represents a northern
syndicate
This property was sold two years,
ago to 6. r Kyle and associates,
but because of some disagreement
between the purchasers, Mr.. Kyle
was forced to surrender the place
after having made the first pay
ment. Three generations of the
Bagnell family were horn on this
place-Mr. Bagnell's father, him
self and his children. The only
regrettable thing about the reha-
bilitation of the country Is that
much of the property which had
been owned by families for nearly
a century is passing into the hands
Of others.

il seems not unreasonable to con-
tend that Louisiana s needs from
a rural credit standpoint can be
best summed up as representing
need for the establishment
within her borders of mortgage
loan institutions such as were
described by the Secretary of
Agriculture, the National City
Bank, and other students Of rural
finance, -institutions which can
and will supply the missing link
between the nermous fund of
available capital in the money
centers of the East and the de-
mand therefor by the farmers of
our state.
It is not intended that these
views shall be considered as an
tagonistic to the government s en-
try in the rural credit field. as in
due course of time the federal
land mortgage banks will no
doWbt perform their proper func-
ton and lend certain aid. in the
furnishing Of capital to American
farmers.
But rather on the other hand,
it is desired to emphasize the fact
that, instead Of waiting for the
Development Of a new and expert
mental plan, the rural credit needs
of Louisiana, great as they neces-
sarllv are because Of being es-
sentlally an agricultural State.

piled by improviding those al

FACTS WORTH KNOWN :.

Getting out just a common
country paper, once week. is a
work little understood or apprec-
lated. The editor does not have
to pull off his coat and do manual
labor like a man in the harvest
field or on the streets, but when
night comes he is as tired and
ready for bed as other men. Some
times you pick up your paper and
find it brim full of news and feel
like patting the editor OH the back
and complimenting him on his
good paper and hard work.
Whenever your weekly paper re-
fleets this condition you may de-
pend upon it that the editor has
had very easy time. The fact
is the news came in so fast from
unsupported quarters it was a
problem where to put it. On the
other hand, when you find the
paper lacking in items that are
stirring and is padded to fill up,
you may rest assured the editor
has put in a hard laborious week,
and is more disappointed than
you are. A newspaper editor cam
not manufacture facts, accidents,
births or deaths. He can only
record them.-Decorah Public
