POLICE HUNT FOR
LAWYERS SLAYER

New York, Sept. Satisfied that
Dwight P. Ditworth, we'll to do lawyer
of Montclair, y. j.. was killed in
lovers lane" in Van Cortlandt park
here Sunday night by would-be black
mailers, the police today are search
ing for two men who shot him to
death.
Miss Mary McNiff, who was with
Ditworth when the two men suddenly
appeared from the brush and ordered
him to throw up his hands. was per-
mitted to go to Long Beach today.
Miss McNiff had been eliminated in
80 far as learning through her who
was responsible for the murder is con-
cerned. The plan to have her re-enact
the incident connected with the kill
ing OF her companion on the spot
where Ditworth was shot was aban-
doned today. Miss McNiff told the
pOllCe sue NOulu IeLuih w NN" iO' N
to lend such aid as she could at any
time, but the police have little hope
of her meager description Of the
highwaymen aiding them to any
great extent. The police base their
conclusion that Ditworth was killed
by blackmailers on the description OF
the hold-up men and Of the shooting
given by Miss McNiff and numerous
complaints that have come In reveal
ing that the park has apparently been
infested with blackmailers Of the type
that attacked Ditworth.

FEDERAL FARM LOANS.


Hearings of great Importance to
farmers, farm organizations and cities
throughout the country are to be con-
Quoted by the newly appointed federal
farm loan board, one for the state of
Oregon to be held in the federal build
ing at Portland on September Z. 1916,
This hearing is to secure information
to guide the board in determining the
boundaries Of the twelve federal and
bank districts into which the United
States is to be divided for the admin
istration Of the new rural credits law,
known as the federal farm loan act.
The members Of the federal farm
loan board who win conduct the hear
ings are Hon. VIM. G. McAdoo, secre-
tary of the treasury: Geo. W. Norris,
farm loan commissioner; Herbert
Quick, Capt. ". S. A. Smith, and C.
, E. Lobdell.
The board has requested farmers.
farm organizations, and others inter-
ested to furnish at each Of these hear
ings facts concerning the need Of
cheaper farm loans. and it has asked
interested cities to present claims for
the. location of one of these land
banks. This will be the only hearing
in the state OF Oregon.
The new federal farm loan act will
do for the farmer what the federal
reserve act is doing for the business
man. Under it the government pro-
vides the machinery for assembling
capital to be loaned to farm owners
or prospective farm owners on first
mortgage farm security. The loans
can not exceed so per cent Of the
value of the land and 20 per cent OF
the value Of the permanent improve
ments. The loans will be made at a
low rate of interest not yet deter
mined, but not over 6 per cent, and
provision is made for the borrower to
pay OF the loan and interest in small
annual or semi-annual payment, at
his option, during a period OF NOT
less than FIVE nor more than forty
years. Farmers, to avail themselves
of the benefits of the law. must first
organize themselves in groups OF ter
or more to obtain a charter as farm
loan association, and thereafter appli
cation for loans can be made through
it to one Of the twelve federal lant
banks. The land will then be ap
praised, and if it meets requirements
the loans will be made.
The new legislation is expected t.
prove a great boon to those sections
of the country where development hai
been retarded because OF high interes
rates, and 1t is predicted that 1t viii
have the effect OF making agricultural
prosperity permanent and uniform
stabilizing land values and greatly i'm
proving general farm conditions.

Some one asked me recently What
do you know about Eureka cloyerg"
Prof. G. r. Hyslop. specialist in crop
production at o. A. c.. says; 1t is
3 member of the smart weed family
and does not possess the clover attri-
butte of gathering nitrogen from the
air to store in the soil. II has been
tried out in numerous experiment
stations and so far as the records
show has never been continued as a
forage crop. II is not drouth resis-
tant, but Is easily killed by frost and
is slow in becoming established.
After it once gains a foothold, how
ever, il is almost impossible to era
dicate."
Authentic reports from Germany
show that it yields from eight to six
teen tons per acre there. A recent
advertisement made the claim that II
would produce from two to three tons
of forage per acre.
Prof. Hyslop thinks II would be the
height Of folly to plant 1t except pos
sibly as an ornamental plant in some
place where it could not spread.

/ reckless and extravagant period in its
! history, Governor Capper declared
here today in an address before the
graduateding class of the Howard high
school. Extravaganza, waStefulness,
educational deficiency and economic
inefhciency were some of the causes
given for this condition of American
life.
Il saw two lineups in Kansas City
one day last winter that told more
han words" Governor Capper said.
"One was the bread lineup of the hun
CRY, the homeless, the detected. Booze
brought that line there. Two blocks
away I saw another lineup in the lob
by of a big bank. There were wage
earners of all classes waiting to put
away their savings. Industry and
thrift brought them there.

tional deficiency or economic ineffi-
cheney.
Thrift is careful spending as well
as wise saving. We have never known
a more reckless and extravagant pc
riod in American life than this period.
Children who formerly were taught to
save now often Guido their indulgent
parents, who frequently are compelled
to deprive themselves that their sons
and daughters shall have every wish
gratified- No boy or girl can have a
worse start in life. There is no more
important training for a child than
teaching it to save and invest it's saw
ings, until such habit is acquired.
Thrift means better, higher, saner liv-
/ ing; better homes, happier and better
conditioned people. It develops char
acter, self-contro1, self-denial.''
Governor Capper devoted a consid-
| cradle part of his address to common
sense dressing on the part of young
/ people. Extreme fashions and ex-
/ travagant dressing create shallow,
