FARM LOANS At PER CENT.
Those Who Can Not Compete at That
Advised to Quit.

SNoSiOSo w ~dtSs
Minneapolis. Sept. l2.--Charles T..
Lobdell, member of the federal farm
loan board. speaking before the Farm
Mortgage Bankers Association conven-
ton, predicted that farm mortgages
soon will be made at l per cent rate
and advised bankers who can not oper-
ate on that basis to withdraw from
business.
His statement followed the annual
address of +. w. Thompson. Of Chicago
president of the association. who crit
iciZed the federal act and asserted
that the mortgage bankers were fac
ing serious situation because OF the
shrinkage in profits, resulting from
competition of the federal farm ban
banks
President Thompson attacked several
features Of the law and predicted test
suits against it's tax exemption fea-
lures.
He also charged that the system is
organized on political basis, without
regard to civil service, and expressed
the belief that the fiat rate Of interest
feature will not survive. Other dele
gates expressed similar views
Bankers first looked on the federal
| reserve act as an outrage and said
| it would not be successful" Mr.. Lob
dell said, in answer to these state
ments, but now. in this supreme hour
of national existence, we look upon 1t
| as an anchor of our financial power.
1T would be foolish to say that the
farm loan act won't hurt your busi-
ness: that is one of the things 1t was
intended to accomplish
ALREADY it has reduced rates en-
loans to nearly per cent. You may
as we'll realize that it Is real COM
petitor and that you are going to feel
it in loss Of business and much more
| in loss of margin.
1.-THE days Of 2, 8 and per cent
spread between the borrower and len
der in this country are numbered. The
business must come to a 1 per cent
basis The new law has come to stay
and might as we'll be accepted as part
| Of our economic policy"

Should Girls Speak to Strange Men in Uniform?
4 ** = y ~ y M - = ##. y +@# IS \
Beware! Says Winona Wilcox
lBy Winona Wtlco1.l

There is a camp rear my home.
and two strange soldiers spoke to my
girl friend and me last night and
asked US to take a walk. I refused.
and my friend was furious. She just
adores a uniform, and she says a girl
can always trust a soldier. But my
mother never lets me speak to a nan
without an introduction. Am I right,
or is my friend ?-Molhe."
This is a sample Of a letter which
woman editors frequently find in heir
mail. These queries usually go into
the waste basket, because it takes
courage to admit that a uniform does
not necessarily make over the nature
of man.
Probably the girls question is best
answered by going back to the be-
ginning of the Book of Woman as
Mar has written it.
When the cave man had captured
and dragged home his bride, he made
a law for lei to live by. It survives
unto this day, and it is a very good
law. It runs: A woman shall not
speak to a strange male person with
out an Introduction.
The cave man knew his fellows, and
he could have told the woman why
he did not trust them. But he never
did. He wanted to keep her ''inno-
cent"
But if the cave man had said that
all strange male persons were not as
chivalrous as they like to pretend, and
that he a made the first rule OF
good form especially for woman's pro-
lection, woman would have been
spared many miseries.
For h was and is continually
tempted to break the original rule Of
etiquet, h was and is continually
getting herself into trouble thereby.
Today her tragedies are half re-
vealed in police court records, white
slave prosecutions. advertisements for
missing girls, and the statistics of
maternity homes and girls reforma-
tories.
Three girls vanish. Mrs. Grace
Humtston. the woman lawyer who
found Ruth Cruger's body, will take
the matter to the district attorneys
ONCE runs a New York news item.
The public never hears of half of
these tragedies, but enough are told
to prove that it is o safe for a girl
to trust her own judgment about get
ting acquainted with men who are
unknown to her family and her
friends. Too often the girl has no
judgment to trust Then her mothers
admonitibn is invaluable. Let the in
credulous girl ask her brother.
