"Just like running an army In

a.. Ben Greet
Shakespearean Play At
tracts Small Audience.

Only one thing marred the Ben
Greet production of THE Merchant of
Venice" last night at the Missoula the
alter. and that one thing was the fact
that the Missoula high school, under
whose auspices and for whose benefit
the production stopped for one per-
Torrance in Missoula, lost about 800
on the venture.
Otherwise, the production was ad-
mirahle The players acquitted them
selves exceptionally we'll, and the bard
| of Avon had no occasion to turn over
| in his grave for any defect in their
rendition of his lines. Playing, as all
| Ben Greet Shakespearean productions
| do, with no change of scenery from be-
ginning to end, means that the play
ers themselves must make up, in the
minds OF their auditors, for any de-
| ficencies of setting.
/ This additional reuusition Of skill
was well responded to by the company
of players who We're so meagerly at
!! tended in Missotlla last night. Special
~ commendahle We're the performances
of the two l. ding roles. Shylock, the
Jew, and Por.ia which We're carried by
Erskine Sanford and Grace Halsey
Mills, respectively. Not to be neg
lected, either, is the action Of Wells
Watson CHM in the part of Gratiano,
the unfortunate Anionio's fluttering
friend.
Mr.. Sanford played the difficult role
of the Jewish usurer with an under
standing and precision, especially in
trial scene, which could not easily be
surpassed. Those who have seen Man
tell and Sothern in the same part eN
pressed the view that, with the same
scenery. the appeal of these two per-
formers would he no stronger.
Miss Mills. AS the wise and attrac
tive Portia. brought to her part no,
only a highly developed talent in clear
ness of utterance. bu, a natural anc
dignified beauty which made her mos
well received. Her performance was
in fact perhaps better received thar

is so much the pleasanter.

Chicago Jan. 19.-With a big supply

country call, stocker and feeder trad
ing has lost some of the bloom it has
been wearing for the past few weeks.
Prices have worked to such levels that
the country refuses to respond and the
number of sales is very light in pro-
portion to the size of the supply.
Yard buyers show indifference and
bids range considerably lower. bulk be-
ing subjected to declines Of Is cents,
with instances Of % cent lower trades.
Killers not as active in their pur-
chases yesterday and a slight drop in
values from this outlet was quickly
taken up by stocker and feeder traders.
Prices are about back to the levels OF
early last week, any advance noted
this week having been lost.
Country buyers are scarce and pros
poets for clearance at week end were
not bright.

Farm Loan Act TO
Enable Agricultuyist
To Help H;n,ss1f
ARTICLE MI.

ARTICLE III.
BY Frank r. Wilson, Federal Farm
Loan Bureau.l
1t has always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get -
that which enables him to help him.
self.
Some critics Of the federal farm loan
ct have charged that this act makes
1t too easy for farmers to get into DEBT.
and that there will be tendency TO
overborrow.
A careful reading Of the bill VIII
show that this objection is met by very
carefully limiting the use to which the
borrowed money may be put and by
the requirement that farmers gradual
ly each year must reduce their indebt-
edness.
The farm loan act was designed to
be helpful to the farmer Of average OPP
erations who has heretofore been de-
MED adequate credit. II wisely Limits
the loans to so per cent OF the apprais-
ed value Of the security, because TINS
limitation makes the security OF high
character, thus satisfying the investor.
and therefore results In . lower rate OF
interest
Use Of Money Limited.
The use Of the money Is carefully
limited to the purchase OF land, to pay
Off existing Indebtedness, to purchase
live stock, or to make any productive
Improvement such as fencing, drain
age, buildings and machinery.
When money can be borrowed
cheaply for productive use, mortgage
becomes an investment rather than a
handicap. The farmer is enabled to
get money to put his land to better
use, so that the profits Of his invest
ment will pay off his indebtedness.
Hereafter judicious borrowing on the
part Of the farmer will be regarded as
business enterprise, just as 1t Is now
considered beneficial for large CONNER
cial institutions to borrow.
The farm loan act creates a form OF
Indebtedness which peculiarly fits the
farmers needs. It recognizes that the
farming business is one Of slow re-
turns.
So it provides that mortgage made
under the <act shall be paid on the
amortization or installment plan thru
long or short period Of years. The
mortgages may be made to run from
five to forty years at the option OF the
borrower. and they must be paid OF.
interest and principal, in equal install
ments thru the period Of the loans.
Permission is given to pay all OF the
loan or any part of 1t on any interest,
bearing date after it has run five years.
Amortization Tables Prepared.
To give the prospective borrower an
exact idea of the size Of the payments
required annually to wipe out mort
gage in a given period. amortization
tables have been prepared. The fol-
lowing table shows the amount Of an
nual payments required to extinguish,
in the period indicated, $1,000 loan
bearing interest at 8. 5A and per
cent:
