open Street CARNIVAL

The annual street carnival Of Scott
NJ. e. Church opened last night with
a large number OF church members
and their friends in attendance and
will continue every night the remain
der OF the week. The square in Tay-
Tor street. between Lombard and Pine
streets. was the scene Of the merry
making. The booths were more at
tractiyely decorated than ever before.
and the decorations. music and the
various articles displayed for sale
made strong appeals to the carnival
patrons
The CITY Court conducted on the
rear lawn Of the parsonage, proved
one Of the biggest hits. Harry Wright,
CARRIED as a Suffragette, was the judge,
and he presided with much dignity.
Miss Virginia Gerhauser and Mrs.
Charles Bullock. wearing regulation
police uniforms. were the officers. and
they patrolled their beats dutifully
coping" everyone they could find in
the act Of violating the law.
Charles II Grantland. child labor
inspector, and ex-Police Officer John
Winthrup we're arrested and fined
for discussing politics at a church
festival: Sergeant Lyons was brought
before Justice on a charge OF flirting
with women; George c. Lyons was
arrested and fined for flirting and
contempt OF court; the Rev. j. L.
Johnson was fined for disorderlv
conduct; Joseph II. Bartlett was
fined for resisting an officer and Po-
lice officer Charles Bullock was
charged with conduct unbecoming an
officer. The CITY Court proved very
popular and if will likely be con-
tinued during the remainder Of the
carnival. Judge Wright fined the Of
tenders with strict impartiality, grad
ing the sums according to the nature
Of the offenses.

auto TRUCK UPSElS.
Driver Slightly HURT

An automobile truck belonging to
the Smith-Zollinger Company WAS
overturned on the road from Christi
ana TO stanton Yesterday, but due TO
the fact that the chauffeur, George
Irons, was driving slowly at the time,
the truck WAS not damaged, and the
only injury sustained by the driver
was a wrenched leg.
The truck had been to Christiana
with a load Of carpets and was return
ing empty when a bolt holding a steer
ing knuckle fell out permitting the
car 10 run wild. Irons threw out the
clutch and put on the brake, but the
big car could not be stopped until it
had run 10 the edge of the ditch, and
it toppled over. Irons went over with
the car
When the car was righted it was
found to be unscratched and the en-
CINE was still running. The car was
run to the garage under its own
power.

sheep GAMBOL IN The
Heart OF The CITY

Glorying in their visit 70 Wilmington,
probably their first and maybe their
last, small herd OF sheep from the
pastures far in the country, romped up
and down Market street and in the side
streets this morning City life seemed
to appeal 10 the woody animals, for
they resorted TO the most artful OF their
artfulness to get away from their keep
ers and stroll along by themselves. But
their efforts were in vain, for their
keepers kept them in order to the best
OF their ability but not without consid-
cradle difficulty.
Several Of the lambs strayed from
their mother and their bleating attract
ed the attention Of passersby. Finally
the herd was gotten together again and
the sheep disappeared over the cause
way.

HOLD UP COAL CONTRACT.

Bids for supplying coal for the new
Public Building we're opened at the
meeting OF the Public Building Com
mission yesterday. but the contract
was not awarded because the mem
bers OF the commission want to be as
sured that the contractor will be able
to supply the coal in such quantities
as It is needed. There is not much
storage space for coal in the new Pub
lie Building
Bids for 500 tons more or less were
asked that amount being as near as
the commissioners could estimate the
quantity which will be needed to sup
ply the building for the season. Only
two concerns bid for the contract
the Diamond Ice & Coal Company and
the Hamilton Coal Company. Both
concerns bid the same, $3.50 a long
ton

FAKE RURAL
CREDIT BILL
RURAL CREDITS
BILL WOULD BE RUINOUS TO
THE FARMERS OF THE UNITED
STATES.
(By GRANT S. YOUMANS.)

Farmers and farm organizations, as
we'll as consumers, labor and consumer
organizations, are lining up theil
forces to oppose the so-called Moss
Hollis Rural Credit Bill now before
Congress. The bill is deliberate anc
premeditated attempt on the part OF
Wall Street bankers to fasten upor
the farmers a counterfeit rural credit
law.
The scheme is cumbersome, clumsy
and provides an enormous amount Of
useless machinery to do simple
thing.
The administrative features, are
overweighted with offices and salaries
There is a Federal Farm Loan Board
to supervise and direct Federal
Farm Loan Bureau. The Board is tc
consist of five members, Of whom four
are to be paid $4,000 a year each, OF
$4,000. All of this work could be
done by one commissioner at salary
of $4,000 year.
Besides the board and the bureau
there is to be a Farm Loan Registrar
in each land bank district; also one or
more Land Bank Appraisers, and
many special appraisers, all to be
compensated. The Federal Farm Loan
Board is also to employ attorneys, ex-
perts, assistants, clerks, laborers and
so on, and to pay them. Most of these
officers and employees are wholly un-
necessary.
This bill creates two new kinds of
banks, the Federal Land Bank and the
Joint Stock Land Bank, and two kinds
of National Farm Loan Associations,
the limited and the unlimited.
All of these are unnecessary and
merely add to the farmers difficulties
and expenses in obtaining loans. None
has any legitimate function to per-
form nor any just reason to exist.
The provision in Section 4, for d.
viding the country into twelve Fed
eral Land Bank districts, is needless
and useless. All of the officers and
employees of all the new banks pro-
vided for in these districts are useless
additions to the cost of obtaining loans
and to the burden that the farmer
must bear.
The Farm Loan Association is a
clumsy device as here provided. Be-
fore such an association can operate,
it must receive charter, which must
be passed on by the Federal Loan
Board. The Board can refuse char
ter if it pleases. This is not only use
less and cumbersome, but it provides
the board with an opportunity for

been located for years. The Northern
Telephone Co. operated from Churchs
Ferry to Berthold on the G. N. and
from Minot to Kenmare on the 500,
besides owning many branch lines. The
Bell Co. also gets control of the line
from Berthold to Culbertson, Mont,
owned in large part by Thos. Marshall
of Oaks This line was valued at $500
mile.
The Northern Telephone Co. was
organized IL years ago by Dr. E. A.
Crokat, former Minot physician, and
the late L. M. Davis. They sold their
interests ten years ago to Noble and
Stoltz. ..<-'-

very great political power. On purely
political grounds or for nolitical adj

very great political power. On purely
political grounds or for political ad-
vantage, charters can be granted or
refused The provision is also liable
to misuse IN a business way. There
is nothing in the act that prevents
n:embers Of the Federal Farm Loan
Board from being also members Of the
corporations or firms engaged in lend
ing money and the power that his
section would confer upon them to
control business for their own sd-
vantage ls very great.
The provision in Section that
every Farm Loan Association must
subscribe for stock in a Farm Loan
Bank to the extent of five per cent Of
each loan it seeks, is another needless
barrier to loans.
The provision in Section 8, govern
ing the operation of all this enormous
machinery, is such as to destroy every
possibility that the act can be made
effective. If the farmer wishes to
borrow money on his lands, he must
become member of a National Farm
Loan Association. He must then buy
stock IN the association to the amount
of 'cne share for every 500 on the
face Of his loan. This would in effect
bar most OF the poorer farmers from
any benefits from this act, for very
few OF them would be able to take adj
vantage of the arrangements made in
another section to assist them to be-
come stockholders.
The machinery provided for these
associations is in every respect so
elaborate and complicated that the
organization of a single farm loan as
ISOLATION is extremely doubtful, and if
it were organized, there is every rea-
son to believe that it must fail of its
object.
The provisions in Section 10 that
one-tifth of the members of a Federal
Farm Loan Association can prevent
any applicant from getting a loan is
extremely bad. Suppose political or
personal differences arise, an applica-
ton absolutely sound and worthy
might be defeated by the prejudice or
whim of few persons.
Section II provides for agents of
Federal Loan Banks. No such agents
are needed, and their pay and ex-
penses are further burdens on the
farmer.
The whole of "Division C" so far as
it relates to "joint stock land banks"
is useless. No such banks are needed
and no such banks could be operated,
except that they are in some respects
less hampered by regulations and re-
strlctions than the Federal Farm
banks. There is no difference discern
IDLE between the two institutions. This
naturally creates the suspicion that
the Joint Stock Banks are designedly
made freer of restrictions for the ad-
vantage of money-lenders, and that in
this way the regulations surrounding
the work of the Federal Banks are to
be evaded.
Sections Fl, %, % and "a, providing
for the issuing of farm loan bonds are
wholly superf1ous. No such bonds are
needed. The problem of rural credits
has been successfully and easily solved
in other nations, without any part of

year old colts, weight over $500. Two
one year stations, the best kind, two
good ends and middle, the kind that
is all quality, plenty of bone and
shape, weighing 1850 pounds each.
Sixteen head of work mares from to
s years old, all sound and gentle, best
shape and quality, weighing from 1850
to 1900 pounds, some of them with
foal. While l admit I half way stole
the cattle and pure bred horses, the
work mares of that kind we have to
pay for in full and they are so high
in price I do not expect to get any
more in this spring and no one else
will have any Of that kind and quail
ity for sale here this spring. If l get
my money back on these mares will
be more than satisfied.

the clumsy, elaborate provisions con-
tanned in this act. In many foreign
countries the governments loan the
money directly from it's treasury to
the farmer, and it has not been found
that such loans are rendered with loss
or inconvenience to the government.
Beyond this arrangement, it is not
necessary to go in either this country
or any other.
In general, hardly farmer in the
United States could avail himself of
the apparatus created by this bill. The
bill, therefore, would be a failure and
it's passage would merely block the
