slider the measure.
An effort was made in the House 20
amend the House bill so that 1t would
be possible for manufacturers TO Sc
cure alcohol. but this holdup likewise
was crushed without great opposl-
ton.
The Senate's mild fifbuster was
brought 70 quick end when Senator
Garrett said that he believed the meas
ure was sure to pass, and that 1t was
due Senator Greathouse that his meas
ure should be the one to become a law.

ago, when Senator White and Repre-
sentative Newberry introduced exact
" similar bills. one in the Senate the

New Iork.-Officers on the Ameri-

seven British and French cruisers on

The German raider in the Atlantic

He said:
She will not do much more raid

BOON To SMALL INVESTORS
FARM LOAN BONDS ATTRACTIVE
PROPOSITION.
Federal Certificates to Be Exempt
From All Forms OF City or
State Taxation.

Washington, ID. c. The opera
tons of the farm loan act are di-
yided into two main classes-a
money assembling agency and a
money lending agency.
The government puts the first nest.
egg into the farm loan plan by buy
ing the original capital stock OF the
II federal land banks If necessary
When this has been loaned and farm
mortgages taken in return for the
money loaned, the federal land banks
may issue bonds against these mort
cages.
These bonds will be among the
most attractive securities ever of
fered TO American investors. AS ex-
planned before. farmers are permit.
ted TO borrow only up 10 so per cent
OF the value OF their land. This
means that every dollars worth Of
bonds issued represents s. worth OF
land as security.
The fact that each federal land
bank guarantees the bonds of all the
other banks also puts behind these
bonds as security the s9oo0.00o orig
inal capital stock of the banks and
their required surplus earnings. plus
the required annual deduction Of the
mortgage loan.
Value Bound to Increase.
Besides this. the security constant
~ increases proportionately by rea-
son of the constantly increasing cap
ital contributed by the Farm Loan
Association.
So the investment end OF the farm
loan act is fully as important as
the money-lending end, because Il
creates for the benefit OF small and
large investors security backed by
pooled first mortgages on farm lands.

the productive power. and enhance
the value OF these morteaged lands.

would be in modern life a void which
nothing could fill.
"All these results have flowed from
the preaching of men who. but for the
courage inspired by a belief that their
Master had risen from the dead, would
never have dared to preach, or certainly
would not have devoted their lives to
the unwearied proclamation of the Cos
pei Especially are these results due to
the preaching of one (PauD who gave
proof of the strength and sincerity or
his belief by forsaking in the MONDAY
of his life the murderers of Christ and
joining the company of His prosecuted
followers.
Now If Christ did not actually rise,
this belief was a delusion. And 1t is
the most astounding delusion that ever
darkened the erring mind of man. For
not only did 1t enable its early votaries
to set at nought hardship and peril and
death, but in all succeeding ages it has
held captive many of the most intelli-
gent and cultured of men. and now for
many centuries nearly all the best Of
men, Unquestionably it occupies po-
sition without parallel among the de-
lusions of mankind.
That delusion has saved the world.
For, as we have seen, had not the early
preachers of the Gospel been deluded
about the historic fact of the resurrec-
tion of Christ, they would never have
