NEW LAND BANKS
AND the FARMER
Twelve Federal Land Banks Will be
IN Operation Soon. Plan
Considered Sound.

1SAA 40 oOOO1 w VIC 8AVSA PA aStACaA
trial. Twelve regional land banks
will be ready to lend money to farm
ers soon. What should be the atti-
tude of Minnesota farmers toward
the new system?
The great majority of those who
have studied the new plan carefully
and without prejudice agree that it's
main features are sound. 1t is pos
sible that defects in detail may pre-
vent it's successful operation at first
says E. Dana Durand of the Mime
sofa College of Agriculture as ex-
perience shows what they are. 1t is
not for farmers or friends to stand
aside and criticise the new system
before it goes into operation. The
thing to do is to try it out.
Two classes of banks, federal land
banks and joint stock land banks are
provided for by the law. If the for
mer succeed, it is not likely that the
latter will do much. Bankers or ca
pitalists have no control over the
federal land banks. AS soon as the
farmers borrow enough money from
these banks, they will become, thru
their local associations, tn sole
stockholders of the banks. 1t is es-
sentially cooperative scheme.
If the farmers want the scheme
to succeed, they must take part in
it and the sooner the better. The
banks cannot work at all unless the
farmers form local associations and
apply for loans. The land banks can
not sell any bonds until they have
taken mortgages from farmers,
since the bonds must be secured by
mortgages.
The first loans to farmers, of
course, will be made from the pro-
ceeds of the capital stock subscri-
bed by the federal government. It
is understood that the federal farm
loan board intends to lend this mon
ey at per cent, and those first ap-
plying for loans are, therefore, sure
to get them at this rate, which is
lower than most farmers in Mime
sofa are now paying. After the
bonds based on these first mortgages
have been sold, the rate of interest
on future loans to farmers will de-
pend on the rate at which the bonds
are sold. It may be higher than 5
per cent or even lower. If it should
prove to be higher, the first borrow
ers will have gained by their
promptness. If it proves to be low
er, they will not lose anything, be-
cause the law permits them to pay
up their loans and make new ones at
the best available rate. Farmers,
therefore, who want to borrow mon
ey, or to reduce their present rates
of interest should take advantage of
the new act just as soon as it goes
into effect. This they can do only
by forming National Farm Loan AS
sociations.
Some Of the farmers have express
sed fear that under the new plan
they might somehow be held respon-
sible for the debts of others. They
do not see why they should be asked
to become stockholders in the local
associations and thus indirectly in
the Federal Land Banks. They are
afraid that they may lose their
subscription to the stock, or even be
assessed to cover loses. There is,
of course, conceivable element of
risk to the borrower, but the loss
could not be large and the danger of
losing anything is so slight as to be

Our intention in publishing the j.
tenn referred to above was not to
criticise and make complaint on our
post office service but to offer a
suggestion for improvement. The
Post Office Department has been
very liberal in giving Cook county
daily mail service, and it is only rea-
sonable to expect the local authori-
ties to do their part to give the peo-
pie the best service. The usual hour
for closing post offices in most vii
lagos in the state is 8 o'clock the
year around, and it is quite often a
little inconvenient for the work.

not to be able to transact business
at the post office after supper. We
feel that our post office service is
very good and only make the sug-
gestion for the further improve
ment of the service.-Editor.

 Banks calling for more margins Leading institutions during past week have marked up money rates and made calls on brokers for increased colla teral margin. The demand has come par ucularly from the larger banks and the additional margin has amounted to about per cent There is no in cllnation on the part of large institu- tlons to take unanimous advantage at this more conservative policy of the lenders as they realize that although the situation is not in any degree alarming, il nevertheless demands some caution. They have taken their cue from the banks and are in turn making larger margin demands on their customers.

 BIGGEST SENSATION

To-day" is proving the biggest sen sation yet produced in stock. not only by the Theodore Lorch company at the Elks'. but by any other company There is so much good stuff to the story and the theme is handled in such a fearless manner that the audience Is held in a grip of intensity .o the final curtain.
 There was another record house last night, which shows that the patrons are interested in the subject under dis cussion and the way it Is treated While, of course, the theme is old. it's treatment is new and novel and there is the punch of the play.
 Should Wagner have murdered his erring wife. though, is matter on which the audience is still divided, but they are unanimous in their verdict that the pla Is the biggest thing yet attempted by the Lorch company.
 The play is beautifully mounted and handsomely dressed and one that will leave q lasting impression. There will he matinee today at 2;30 o'clock.

lillian Gish at Arizona

One Of the peculiar features of Diane of the Follies." the new Tri- angle Fine Arts picture starring Lillian Gish. is the fact that the scenes are laid in two locations"
 A theater. comprising stage dress ing rooms and auditorium. and the home of a young millionaire provide the entire settn~ of the play It is interesting to note that the latter set showing four rooms. covered more floor space than three ordinary stages.
 The Majestic theater in Los Angeles gave the proper environment for Miss Gish's interpretation of Diane. the chorus girl while severe but rich and beautiful dining room, drawing room, library and boudoir were especially constructed and furnished to provide the home surroundings for the gay and frivolous wife of the psychologist mil iionaire.
 Sam de Grasse. as Phillips Christy. the young husband, portrays the thor ough aristocrat who engages in the precarious task of attempting to bring his chorus girl wife to his own exalted social position in order to demonstrate his pet theory that environment Is the answer to culture.
 Lillian Langdon is the sister of Phil lips Chrsty who maintains an air of coldness and deliberation madden ing to Diane. the breezy. free spirited creature. who. like a butterfly fits about the great house and gradually drifts back to her old associates of the theater

CHICAGO. Nov. 2l.-Seeming lack of any urgent export buying of wheat in the United States today tended to off set bullish advices. Largely as a re- suit the market closed unsettled, 'sc off to Ac up, as compared with yes terday's finish. Corn showed loss of 3. to 1a.c net. and oats of Ac to %c. In provisions the outcome varied from l5c decline to a rise of 40c.
 Although at first wheat showed con siderable strength. the market late fluctuated nervously over q range ot 2hc. and in the end was well toward the low point of the day. Highest prices were made under the influence of falling off in the European visible supply total and because of continued hullsh crop advices from Argentina, with predictions of a decrease in Arr gentina shipments.
 Final estimates put eyoprt sales in the United States at only 3OO,0O bush els Holders unloaded options heavily on the bulges in the market
 Unverified assertions of a good eH ort demand al the seaboard gave tenn porary strength to corn. At the last prices gave way with wheat and in consequence of prospective lessened winter feeding of livestock. Houses with seaboard connections were on the buying side of oats. The market was dominated finally by the weakness of wheat and corn.
 Packers buying gave lift early tc provisions. The late weakness oi grain. however led to q number oi setbacks.
