Unbreakable Window Glass,

A new glass, transparent

defects of brittle, fragile window
glass has been invented.
A 22-calibre bullet cannot pen

thrown back from it, uninjured
by flying glass, because none
would fly. A stone thrown
against it will bounce back like

The secret of it's strength is a
sheet Of white, transparent cellu-
Ioid, twenty-one thousandths of
an inch thick, which is placed be-
tween two pieces of glass. The

who were willing to marry, were
won by three women at q matri-

climax of a dance given by the

men of Glen Carbon, who drew
for them.
Following the drawing, the wo-
men escorted their "prizes' from
the hall. The question of mar
riage was left to the couples
themselves.
One Of the original three bach
elors, who offered themselves for
the lottery, is said to have lost
courage at the last moment and
Joe Clemson volunteered to take
his place.
The numbers of the women
were placed in woman's hat,
and the names of the willing three
in a mans hat. They were drawn
simultaneously by small boy.
The chances were advertised at
ten cents apiece, but many of the
women were given free tickets at
the dance hall door

Aroostock County, Me, is the
richest county in the United
States. The northernmOSt cOun.
ty of Maine snatched the crown
from Los Angeles County, Cali
fornla. The humble potato did it.
Potatoes that sold for Is cents a
barrel few years ago now bring
$4.75 and farmers there are hold
ing much of their crop for SIS a
barrel. AS a result of this unpre-
cedented prosperity, Houlton is
now the second richest town in
the country, ranking next to
Brookline, the richest in the
world. Fifty carloads of automo-
biles are on their way there. 1t is
estimated that 100000 is coming
into this county daily from the
potato crop alone. This is no real
estate boom. for you can't buy
enough ground to bury a potato

FEDERAL LOAN LAW

plains the Workings of the
New Law.

The government will not loan
more than so per cent Of the val
lie of the land without improve
ments and 20 per cent of the
value of the buildings on it, but
there is no doubt but that plenty
Of landowners can be found who
will take back second mort
gage for one-quarter of the value
of the farm, provided the buyer
can pay one-quarter in cash and
has enough machinery and equip
mcnt paid for to operate the
farm. A buyer who has a reputa-
ton of being good farm man.
ager, a hard worker and a money
maker, might even be able to get
a place on a smaller cash pay
ment.
The interest on the money Dor
rowed from the federal govern
ment will probably be S IL per
cent-it cannot be more than 6
per ccnt-and if the mortgage is
to run for thirty-three years, as
it may, per cent will have to be
paid annually toward the liquida-
ton of the debt-making 6 1-2
per cent in all, or sos per year
per. 81 900 borrowed.
A man with little money should
figure on buying a small farm,
so located that he can raise and
sell garden truck to advantage.
By so doing he can utilize his own
labor to the best advantage. Sup
pose he buys forty acres at, say,
1925 an acre, or $4,000. If he
buys it worth the money, he
should be able to borrow $4,000
on it from the government, and
the seller might be willing to car
ry back a second mortgage on it
for $500, leaving $1,000 to be
paid in cash. A man with num-
Der of boys big enough to help
do the work can secure a COM
paratively large income from a
forty-acre truck farm by raising
such crops as potatoes, onions
md other vegetables, and later
IN small fruits such as strawber-
les, raspberries and the like.
BY following a plan of this
lind, the cash outlay for land
iced not be large, and at the
anne time whole family can
ind plenty Of work on the place
nd thus convert a large amount
# labor into cash. A proposition
i that kind is safe and not too
Jig for man of limited means to
andle. S
The annual payment to the
government would be $165.5O on
he $4,000 mortgage, and 6 per a
emit for the second mortgage Of $
1900 would amount to 500, or a
otal of $255.5O a year. 1t should s
e easily possible to pay off the I
econd mortgage in five years: T
nd by paying $165.5O year, the !
rst, or government mortgage, {
'ould be paid off in thirty-three {

,uld, of course, be paid off any 7
me after five years should the e
vner decide to do so.-The Far
