Over s3.250,000 has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last

ninth annual sale do not know how
this idea originated.
While Red Cross Seals really date

campaign to sell holiday stiekers for
the tuberculosis fight was only nine
years ago in Delaware. Miss Emily

of a similar plan here. Single handed

Heavy Snow Storm Visits This Sec

Years - Weather Goes to 10

Reality.

After three weeks of as mild winter
weather as ever graced the palm
groves Of Florida, this section of Ark
ansas is in the grip of the worst storm
of the present winter, and the worst
for several years.
Commencing last Sunday the
weather has varied from spring like,
balmy breezes to a cutting, biting
wind from the north, and Wednesday
evening shortly before eight o'clock
the snow began to fall. All day
Wednesday the weather had been
moderating, as it was down to 10
above Wednesday morning, and by
night had gone up to 30. Heavy
clouds hung in the north and west,
and intermittent snow fell all during
Wednesday night, with two inch
snow as greeting for the early riser
Thursday morning. Snow fell almost
continually Thursday until three o'clock
IN the afternoon when the clouds
cleared. Thirty minutes later clouds
again gathered, and snow is again
falling Snow now lies to depth
OF six inches, and the weather is not
moderating.

ABOUT REV. DULANEY

The following is taken from recent
issue of The Luxora Leader, publ
shed at Luxora in this state, and is
speaking of Rev. A. H. Dulaney who
was recently sent to the NJ E. Church,
South of this place:
Rev Dulaney goes to q good town
of about 5000 and one Of the main
reasons he wanted to get in northwest
Arkansas is on account of his wife's
health and the conference saw fit to
give the gentleman splendid charge
for the coming year. Springdale is
in the Ozark mountains, near Fayette-
vile where the State University is
located, and of noted healthful eli
mate Mr. Dulaney has done a great
work here which is duly appreciat-
ed by his many friends who are lothe
to give him up. But circumstances
alter eases and the change is probably
for the best. Anyhow the entire COM
munity joins in extending best wishes
for the furture welfare of this good
man and his family.

Nj. FAV0RIIES


The Huntsville Democrat reproduc-
ed the article which was printed in
this paper in a recent issue relative
to a good road from Springdale to
Huntsville: and commenting on same
says:
The News is right in saying that
Huntsville IS anxious for a good road
to go that way; in fact, we are
anxious for good road to so IN every
direction from Huntsville, and that IS
what there will be within the next
very few years if the present
good road sentiment in this
county continues to grow. The
News is wrong, however IN as
assuming that Huntsville is part
iculary anxious to be connected by a
good road vest with Springdale alone.
We like Springdale all right ana want
good road frfom here TO that town,
but We also like her neighbors,-Fay-
etteville and Rogers-and we want a
a good road TO each of those towns.
And here is how We are planning TO get
all that We want: Huntsville, Kinds
vile and the citizens along the route
are At work now on a good road from
Huntsville to the county line near
Spring Valley or Mayfield or possibly
both places. and work has been pushed
more industriously on the road from
Huntsville TO the Washington county
line va Brakes Greek and Wesley.
With these good roads already under
way Of construction and without a
doubt that they VIII be completed as
planned. the Democrat predicts that
will be q matter of but short time
until we are connected by good roads
to three mighty good towns on the
Frisco line. viz: Spr.ngdale Fayette-
vile, Rogers; because each of those
towns will not want to lose rs best
trade drawing territory" as the News
expresses it. And it Will be a race
between them to see which one can
connect with our good roads first.

Farmers of SpringdaIe are Arranging
to Borrow Money From Government
at Low Rate of Interest-Digest of
Rural Credits Law.

A number of tanners and fruit men
of Springdale and vicinity met at the
mayors office Saturday afternoon,
and discussed rather informally the
new rural credits law, which will en-
able them to borrow money from the
government at low rate of interest.
1t is anticipated that there will be
no trouble in making the necessary
arrangements in this section to Sc
cure the money but nothing definite
was accomplished Saturday; it being
TIE opinion of those present that
more information was needed
throughout this section before taking
any action.
Below is given a brief synopsis or
digest Of the salient features of the
new law.
In order to borrow money under
this act. ten or more sane persons,
who own land or are about to become
land owners may form national farm
loan association to transact business
in their community. One must be-
come a member of this association
before he can borrow money. One
may borrow from 500 to $4,000, pro-
viding the amount does not exceed 80
per cent Of the valuation Of the land
plus 20 per cent Of the value of the
permanent insured Improvements.
The members must buy one share
of stock Of par value Of So in their
local association for every 500 of
their loans. This stock is held by
the local association as additional
collateral for their loans and the
money from the sale of this stock is
used 70 purchase farm loan bonds
from farm loan bank Of their district.
There will be twelve Of these farm
loan banks in the United States. The
dividends from these bonds will BE-
USED by the local loan association to
pay cost Of transacting business, to
build up a certain surplus to be held
IN the treasury Of the association and
the balance viii be paid to members.
Borrowers must execute first
mortgage upon Their land. The local
association sends this 10 their federal
land bank which advances the money.
The federal land bank issues bonds
with these first mortgages as sec
urity. These bonds are exempt from
all forms of taxation and should prove
desirable TO investors. They will pro
baby be sold on about four per
cent basis Since the land banks are
allowed by law to charge farmers one
per cent above the interest on their
bonds, the farmers should get money
at about 5 per cent. The rate cannot
exceed per cent.
All loans are made on the amortiz-
alton plan-that is some Of the prin-
cipal must be paid in each year. Loans
ear run from five TO forty years.

BISHOP QUAYLE
LECTURED HERE


Springdale people who braved the
cold weather Monday evening and
heard the lecture Of Bishop Quayle at
the VI. +. Church, North, were more
than repaid for any Inconvenience
that the weather might have caused.
He is one Of the best lecturers that
ever visited Springdale, not excepting
some of the talent of our various
Chautauqua programs. Selecting for
his subject the we'll known story Of
RIP Van Winkle', he drew word pic
lures, and brought forth new thought
on this old subject that were amazing,
entertaining and instructive to his
hearers. 1t was the old story, bat
with new stage setting.
He came; he saw; he Won; and
then went away That briefly tells
the story of the brilliant lecture given
by Bishop Quayle. Those who wonder
ed what tragedy could be found in
the old, old story of RIP Van Wrinkle
soon discovered that he who does moth
ing but ''sphits and smokes already
yet contributes nothing to the vel
fare of humanity While the story is
entirely fiction It becomes reality
in the life, when handled in such a
masterful manner. The picture drama

Brief Of new FEDERAL
FARM LOAN MEASURE

Should loan be made at five per cent
and under the forty year plan the Dor
rover would have to pay about 575
per cent. The amortization would
amount to about q per cent A loan
can be paid off in whole or in part
after five years time Should the
borrower get his loan at about 5 per
cent, and pay in s per cent or 10 per
cent, as he has been paying he would
liquidate the principal of his loan in
about 20 Or % years. This is the
beauty of the system.

Lab lity of Mem Der

The liability Of any member of a
farm loan association is limited to his
) per cent stock, and an additional 5
per cent. The total liability of any
member is therefore limited to 10 per
cent Of his loan; but there is very
little liability of his ever having to
nav this.
