INTEREST ON LOAN WILL
NOT EXCEED FIVE PER Gent
Limit is Established for Federal
Land Banks-Big Demand for
Loans in Minnesota.

The farmers of this county who
are interested in federal farm loans
will be glad to learn that the inter-
est charge will not exceed five per
cent. The president of the St. Paul
Federal Land Bank returned last
week from Washington where he at
tended conference of the Land
Sank presidents and the authorities
concerned. At a meeting of the di-
rectors Of the St. Paul bank it was
announced that the rate on farm
loans would be five per cent through
out the whole United States. It is
also reported, according to all indi-
cations the St. Paul bank will loan
to exceed $10,000,0OO during the CON-
ing year and that $100,O0O,0oO will
be loaned througout the United
States. The bonds through which
the funds are secured will bear AZ
per cent. and will doubtless be sold
at a premium.
1T was announced that the bank
would be organized and opened in
ABOUT thirty days and it would then
be able to proceed with the routine
business of inspecting valuations and
making loans. Soon after that Cook
county demands will receive atten-
ton,

WATCH FOR FIRE IN AP-
rAnENTLY INNOCENT PLACES
Defective FIues Four Times as Dan
gerous as Gasoline Says State
Fire Marshal.

Contrary to the general belief,
gasoline is not such a prolific cause
of fires as some other reputed less
dangerous article.
During the past year in Minnesota
there were only 81 fires directly tra-
ceable to gasoline lamps, five from
gasoline torches, ~ from gasoline
stoves and SO from gasoline explo-
slons and the total property loss
from these causes amounted to $52,-
z54, says Robert W. Hargadine, state
ire marshal.
Compare with this the number
of fires due to defective fues, he
says. This cause resulted in 1876
'lres and the property loss was $780,
1877, or about four times as great as
the aggregate loss from gasoline
ires. -.
"This is explained by the fact that
people are awake to the dangerous
possibilities in can of gasoline but
these same people hardly ever think
IF their chimney fues.
"Therefore this department urges
all people, in the interest of proper
ire prevention to watch for possible
ire hazards, not in the obvious, but
in the apparently innocent and per.
iectly safe places"
