BORROWING
FUND WILL Be
ESTABLISHED
At a Low Rate Of Interest for
the Benefit of Prussian Sol
dierS after the War.

BERLIN, Feb. PLANS are under
way in Prussia for the establishment
in every province Of funds from which
returning soldiers, both during and
after the war, may borrow at a low
rate OF interest in order TO reestablish
themselves in business. No one will
be excluded from borrowing, but the
plans have been drawn up with small
merchants and tradesmen primarily in
view.
The ministers of trade and industry,
of finance and of the interior, after
careful consideration Of the situation,
and after urgent representation by
General Won Hindenburg have called
the attention of the presidents Of all
the provinces and other authorities
to the need of such funds and have
expressed their willingness to do all
they can to aid.
General Won Hindenburg has urged
the matter especially because he feels
that such borrowing institutions would
do much to make soldiers feel more
secure, and would relieve many Of the
worry about what they and their fam
lilies are to do in the future without
any capital with which 10 start BUSH
ness anew. The money, 1t is proposed,
will be supplied in part by the prov
inces and in part by the monarchy of
Prussia. 1t is probable that the Prus-
sian Diet which opened January 10
will, before its conclusion, be asked to
consider the proposition and vote the
necessary money.
The loans will be made at some low
rate Of interest and will be repayable
on easy terms The provinces will
repay to the state on the same basis,
but the ministers announce that they
are willing that fifteen per cent of the
states money shall be held by the
provincial authorities for the continu-
alton of loans. Representatives OF
chambers of commerce and similar
business organizations in the various
districts shall be called upon to aid
the authorities in the provinces in de-
termining who shall be eligible for
loans.

BEET GROWING
IN GERMANY
IS DECLINING
And Sugar Industry There Be-
comes Alarmed over the
Poor Outlook Now.

BERLIN, Feb. An increase in
the maximum wholesale price of SUI
gar beets from thirtyGve pfennigs
per hundred to 1875 Of even 1.5O is
held to be necessary Il production
is to be encouraged sufficiently to in
sure a normal crop in1916. Repre-
sentatiyes OF the sugar Industry, ana
of agriculture in general, gathered
recently in the ministry Of the in
terror to discuss the sugar beet
problem. According to the best OBJ
tainable estimates, tho 1916 sugar
production from the beet crop VIII
total only 80 million hundred-weight
as against normal production OF
from fifty to fifty-hye hundred
weight.
The reason for the decreased pro-
ductIon lies primarily In the high
price Of grain. Farmers find it more
profitable to plant their farms to
wheat than to beets because the
wheat brings them higher prices.
Therefore, II beets are 10 be grown
again, the price for them must be
increased. Many OF tho sugar repre-
sentatives pleaded for a maximum
price OF 1.6O marks or even two
marks per hundred-weIght. 1t was
pointed out that the cost OF labor has
greatly increased and that many
other fixed charges that enter into
the production of sugar from beets
have gone up. The majority Of those
present at the meeting however,
agreed that maximum price Of 1.50
was sufficient to induce increased
planting of sugar beets to point
whereby about forty million hundred
weight would be raised in all prob
ability. This new price, it Is pro-
posed, will become effective Septem-
Der /, 1916, or before the crop is
harvested. The forty.million hun
dred weight is to believed will be
amply sufficient for all ot Germany's
needs.
The proposed increaseln the price
Of sugar beets will caase a cores
pondlng increase in theprice Of raw
sugar. 1t now is controlled by a
maximum price of twelve marks
per hdndred-weight, and will go UP
to at least fifteen marlA

ON
. BIRDS ISSUED
BY UNCLE SAM
GIVING Much Valuable Informa-
ton for Those Who Love
the Feathered Family.

NEW YORK. Feb 7.-When
Johnnie builds bird house for a
wren, why does he find it occupied
by chickadee? What bird demands
an apartment house and which one
will be content to live in an old TN
can? How do you build bird
house, anyhow?
These and many other questions
are answered in a pamphlet on the
building of bird houses, just issued
for the boys and girls OF America
by the National Association OF Au-
dobon Societies, of this city. The
little book tells to tho fraction OF an
inch the size of entrances to houses
required for different species OF
birds, the proper floor space, depth,
the height of the enhance above the
floor and the height the bird house
should be placed above the ground.
These dimensions, It is said, differ
in the case OF nearly every kind ot
bird, thus making II possible to at
tract any desired species about the
home by building house on proper
specifications.
"a few years ago" said Secre-
tary Pearson, of tie association,
"only four species we're commonly
regarded as house bllds-the house
wren, the bluebird, the tree swallow
and the martin. Since the movement
to protect birds and make neigh
bors Of them began their natures
and needs have become better undei-
stood.
"Flickers readily accept houses
made according to their standards.
Red-headed and golden-fronted wood
peckers, a pretty good little carpen-
ter himself, has deemed such a home
satisfactory. Shelters having one or
more sides are used by birds that
would never venture into dark houses
suited to woodpeckeE, and have
been occupied by robins, brown
thrashers, and song sparrows and
phoebes. The building of bird
houses brings opportunity for some
very interesting studies Of our fea-
thered friends.
The pamphlet ISSUED by the asso-
citation gives simple and complete
saw-and-hamer directions for the
building of bird houses, 1t also tells
how to attract birds about the home.
1t can be secured at tho headquarters
of the association. 1914 Broadway,
