How Farmers Can Secure Farm Loans

By Frank X Wilson. of the Fed
eral Farm Loan Bureau, written
for the United Press;
The question has been frequent
ly asked. How can a renter who
has not saved SO per cent of the
purchase price of land make use Of
the Federal Farm Loan Act to get
land of his OWN
The answer is, by means Of a
first mortgage given under the
Farm Loan Act for 50 per cent Of
the purchase price provided this
does not exceed 50 per cent Of the
appraised value and a second
mortgage given to the former own
er of the land OF to a bank OF pri-
vate money lender, for the balance
1t must be borne in mind that
the amount which can be borrowed
under the Farm Loan Act Is limit
ed to So per cent Of the appraised
value of the land and this is writ
ten on the assumption that the ten
ant will not pay more for his land
than it is really worth, or, III other

The original owner would thus
get a satisfactory payment down,
and if he had confidence in the pur.

ing to accept 4 second mortgage
for the balance, divided into ten
annual payments.
Here is the way it would figure

The first mortgage Of $500 Civ

draw let us say, five and one-half
per cent interest and would be paid

Now let us sax that the second
mortgage would draw 3 per cent
end could be arranged 50 as to be
retired IN ten wears. The interest
on this $500 mortgage at = per
cent would be $50 the first year
and one tenth OF the $3.50 would
be $3.50

WALTONEN GUILTY OF MURDER.
Barber Arrested at lronwood Found
Guilty of First Degree Murder
at New York Monday.

Arthur Waltonen, who was ar
rested at Ironwood on Sept. II last
and taken to New York to stand
trial for the murder of Mrs. Eliza
beth Nichols, a wealthy resident of
the eastern metropolis, was found
guilty of first degree murder Mon
day afternoon. Accompanying the
verdict of the jury was recon-
mendation for sympathy for Wal
tonen on account of his age, he be
ing but "a years old.
The crime for which Waltonen
will probably go to the electric
chair was committed on the night
of Sept. s, 1915, when he lead a
party of thieves into the home of
Mrs. Nichols and after strangling
her to death stole money and Jew
els to the value of thousands of
dollars. Owney Tallas, a servant
in the Nichols home, was tried and
sentenced to death, but later his
sentence was committed to life inn
priSonment. Waltonen and his
confederates escaped and it was al
most a year after before Waltonen
was apprehended. He was employ
ed in Walter Points barber shop
in Ironwood when a stranger from
Waukegan. H., recognized him as
being the murderer on account of
a telltale scar on his right hand.
Officers came and arrested him and
brought him back to New York,
and on the witness stand he made
a full confession of the crime.

WOULD ASSIST NEW SETTLERS.
Assemblyman Rogers of Forest County
Wants State to Advance Money
to Clear Five Acres.

a bill is now being prepared by
y NJ Rogers of Forest county for
introduction i'll the assembly. which
promises to be one of the best and
che of the most important measures
ever introduced for the settler. Nj.
Rogers, who has lived in northern
Wisconsin the better part of his
life, is good authority on what the
settler needs TO better his condi,
ton.
While it is true we have a lot
of good, honest, hard working Cit
zens throughout the state of WIS
consin who would make good set
tiers and would be willing to wres
tie with the hardships OF the new
northern country and cut them
selves out a home, if they had the
opportunity and a little help, it
seems that Mr.. Rogers proposes
that the state create a fund known
as the Settlers Improvement Act"
whereby the state pays for the
stumplng of five acres of land, sub
Iect to the approval of the state.
and the cost of the stumplng of
such five acres be placed upon the
tax roll against the description
bearing this improvement for a per
lod of twenty years on the install
ment plan, payable on or before
the expiration of twenty years at
three per cent per annum; the state
to certify to the county treasurer
the proportion assessed to the de
scription bearing this improvement
and the county treasurer certify to
the town treasurer, to be collected
and treated as any other tax.
This application for clearing is
limited to five acres per year for
period of three years, which will
enable the settler at the end of
three years to have fifteen acres
cleared free from stumps and ready
for the pillow He will then be able
to make good
The measure, if passed, promi-
ses to do more good to get the real
settler interested in settling up the
agricultural lands of Northern Wis
consln than any bill yet put up for
his (the settler benefit.

Owing to the increasing abuse of the discount privilege,
due perhaps to a misunderstanding of its purpose, COM
bined with the rapidly increasing cost of doing business,
keeping accounts, mailing statements, etc, we have fl
nally united on an action long contemplated and in our es-
timation now absolutely required.
Our definition of the cash discount is, "a discount al
lowed for the use of cash"
Beginning December l and applying to all December
purchases, leash discount will be construed as applying
to CASH PAID I'll SAME A PURCHASE is
MADE. Our usual cash discounts, premiums, ETC., will
be allowed only when CASH is PAID OVER THE
COUNTER, PAID TO THE DELIVERY MAN, OR AT

There can be no deviation from this rule.
For the convenience of such of our customers as desire
some means of keeping a record of their monthly accounts
and at the same time avail themselves of the discount
privilege, we will sell coupon books or trade checks at the
usual discount for cash in advance.
Cash discount is for the use of cash."

THOUSANDS ELK IN MONTANA
 PARKS
(By Associated Pressl

HELENA, Mont, Oct. 12 There are 19,345 elk in the three principal bands in Montana - Gardiner, Gala tin and Madison - according to the report of the federal government, re- ceived by State Game Warden DeHart. The national parks service and the forestry service co-operated with the state game warden last spring in mak- ing the census.
 Twenty-two men were engaged in the count, made in April and May, and many hardships were encountered in effecting it. Most of the work was done on snowshoes. and the men en- countered rain and snowstorms and at times storms that approached bliz- gard intensity. They established main camps and worked out from them, spending the night oftentimes where darkness overlook them.
 The count was made to determine the extent of losses among the elk last winter, to furnish a basis on which the government might arrange for winter pasturage. Losses since the previous season. on account of heavy snows, were estimated at 14 per cent.
