FARM LOAN ACT VALID.

The Federal Farm Loan Board, on
behalf OF the twelve Federal land
banks and at their request has con-
cluded an arrangement by which a
group OF investment houses will
participate in the marketing of Farm
Loan Bonds soon 10 be issued by the
banks. The preliminary negotia-
tions have been had with Alexander
Brown e Sons, OF Baltimore; Brown
Brothers & Co, of Philadelphia; Har-
ris. Forbes & Co, of New York; AMI
Lee Higginson & Co, of Boston, who
are among the oldest and most con-
servative houses In the country hav-
ing large lists Of customers, and ia
cilities for the distribution Of bonds
TO investors.
While such securities as Farm
Bonds are well known in Europe,
where they generally sell on a parity
with government bonds, the Ameri-
can investor Is not yet educated "a
them, and it is believed that by util-
izing the facilities OF these Invest
ment houses a larger number OF in
vestors can be reached in a shorter
period OF time than would otherwise
be possible, and in this way broad
and continuing market for Farm
Loan Bonds can be promptly estab-
lished The four houses agree Il

THE SCHOOL EXHIBIT.

Accompanied by a teacher as guide,
| had the pleasure OF viewing our
school exhibits. The manual train
ing room showed better and more
finished work than in any preceding
year. Some handsome tables, table
lamps, a cedar chest. a commode, a
quaint chair and many other finely
made articles were on view.
In the domestic science room the
cooking department showed a model
breakfast for baby" and several
exhibits OF substitutes for meat or
potatoes" each having the cost neat
ly tabulated. The note of economy
so essential now, was well emphasiz.
ed.
The sewing exhibit showed excep-
tionally good models in dresses and
underwear. One pleasing feature be-
ing splendid example Of what skill
and care can do 10 produce an appar-
emily new and stylish garment from
used materials The economy In
making ones own clothes was sell
evident here.
We next visited the art department
where several new ideas we're IN
evidence Elementary book binding
and other art forms were on view
In this connection il was observed
that in home making and dress de
sign the art department and the
domestic science were allied and cor.
relating their work. 1t is hoped thai
this may be more extensively done
next year
The penmauship exhibit concluded
our tour and, since visiting this tw,

The only matter OF regret to m,

CUT PRICES OR LOSE MINES

Secretary Lane in talk to the
coal mine operators Of this nation
last Tuesday gave that body OF hogs
the sharpest reprimand that any bus
mess interest has received from the
government so far. Pointing across
the Potomac TO Arlington heights
where acres and acres OF land are
covered with the graves OF soldiers
who gave up their lives for the nation
among them the victims Of the
Maine Secretary Lane said:
you see that graveyard over
there at Arlington. Let me tell you
that in two years from now you will
see greater graveyard along these
shores than that at Arlington and II
will represent a greater cause than
Arlington represents. We must
stabilize the coal industry as patri-
otto measure and it is up TO you gen
tlemen to help us do t."
Continuing his address Mr. Lane
told the operators that they must
cut their price on coal or the govern
ment would take over the mines

John Wall and Sheriff Robert viii

ernor Sleeper as the draft board for

to pass upon all persons who are
drafted for the army from the coun-
".
The duplicate cards have been
sent to Washington by the county
clerk and the work of drafting will
commence next week.
Each person whose name is drawn
will have to appear before the local
draft board. If the claim for exemp-
ton that lie sets up Is sustained he
is set aside by the government; il
not he goes to the training camp.
II is not probable that the Iron
county board will be called upon for
much work for a time as this coun-
" has sent forward enough recruits
already TO cover the quota In the reg
ular army and national guards.

where the base Is OF the iron indus

that are very apparent-the holding
down of ROYALTIES and taxes and the

scarcely enough to make both ends

district is being hauled away. MI
Newett says:
The cream of the ores of this
region is being called for, and
the price, based on the present
quotations of pig iron, are ridic-
uIously low. The miners are not
receiving their share OF this great
prosperity nor have they been
for several years. Last year
they were very hard hit Today
we are sending out the cream OF
our ores at very low prices.
Costs, which we hoped had reach
ed the apex last year, have been
going up steadily. so that the
margin we thought we had In
better prices has been complete
liz wiped out. We find all the
producers of high grade besse-
mer ores sending them out gen
erously, while many OF the low
or grade mines, with ores con
tanning sulphur or high phos-
pilates are running slowly, and
some OF them not at all. AS us
