| for the services of % surgeons,
dentists, 70 Red Cross purses and $50
privates, including orderlies, ambu-
lance drivers, stretcher bearers and
clerks.
The permanent minimum equipment
Of each hospital consists Of three car
loads of beds, mattresses, scientific ap-
paratus, operating room paraphernalia,
and all utensils. Units going to Eu-
rope these days, however, are taking
double or triple equipment.
The consumable supplies of each hos
pital consists of IS crates Of bandages,
wound pads, splints, fracture pillows,
dressings and hospital supplies of
every kind to the number Of 1882, all
made up to army standard, packed,
boxed and labeled so that surgeons and
nurses can put their hands on them
in a moment.
Now-from this 1t might seem that
the Red Cross has done every
thing needful, and that there is moth
ing more to do for the base hospitals
but to wait until the wounded begin
to stream in, and give them the benefit
Of all this foresight.
Not so. 1t has been established that
the supplies Of bandages and splints
and wound pads and gauze in base
hospital last through just about four
days Of heavy fighting. Then, unless
there were great store of supplies
to draw from, the hospital would find
itself with 500 wounded on hand, and
no dressings for their wounds.
Here, again, is work for the Red
Cross. All over the land, wherever
supplies were made for these SO base
hospitals, are women trained in max
ing hospital supplies. 1t is for these
women not only to stand ready to fur
nish other supplies, but to train still
other women to take up the work; for
when the Americans begin to fight
there will be no stopping the stream of
wounded until the war Is won. And
the Red Cross cannot afford to let
single fighting man die for lack Of
bandage or splint. Is our commu-
nifty doing its part?
In France right now the supply of
gauze and linen is SO low that they
are reported to be using old newspa-
pers to stanch bleeding wounds. That
must never happen to an American SOL
der. And unless the American people
get behind the Red Cross with all their
strength and in all their numbers, and
train themselves to turn out supplies
for their hospitals, it may happen.
It would be the irony of fate If a
soldier from our own town-perhaps
your own family, or mine-were to get
gangrene in his wound, perhaps lose
an arm or leg or even his life, be-
cause we folks here had failed to fur
nish the dressings for his wound.

Spot For Many Air Raids Is
One of Richest Coal Regions

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3O.-The
Saarbducken district, about 70 square
miles, which has been the objective 2f
numerous allied air raids comprises,
according to war geography bulletin
issued by the National Geographic So
ciety, one of the richest coal regions
Of Europe, and consequently is a
highly organized Industrial center, the
manufactures including gunpoWder,
machinery, soap, iron wares, glass.
tapestries, textiles, leather and cotton
goods.
Saarbrucken proper, which is stu
ated on the left bank of the Saar, one
of the affluents of the Mosel, was made
a Greater Saarbrucken seven the
ago when it's twin cities across the
riyer-St. Johann and Burbach-Mal-
statt-were consolidated with it, so
that today it has a population approx
mating 100000.
"The Saarbruck district produces be-
tween ten and eleven million tons OF
coal annually in normal times, and
five-sixths of the mines are owned by
the state The number of men employ
ed in this industry alone reaches 90,
OO0
Saarbrucken is in Rhenish Prussia,
50 miles by rail east of Metz, but less
than 40 miles in an airline from that
strongly fortified German city. Verdun,
from some distance beyond which the
raiding English aviators must have
started, is rs miles to the west.
Through an excellent system OF
canals. the narrow Saar River is nav

igable for some distance above Saar-
burcken. The citys name is derived
from a bridge which spanned the
stream in Roman days, the site of the
old crossing being marked by the Alte
Brucke, (Old Bridge which is a pro-
duct of the 10th century engineering.
For more than 400 years Saar-
brucken was the residence of the
counts and princes of Nassau-Saar-
brucken, but in 1898 this distinction
passed from the city. In that year the
French burned the chateau but it was
subsequently restored after fashion.
"Saarbrucken is famous in German
history as the city where the French
struck their first blow in the Franco
Prussian war On August End, 1870,
the French seized and occupied the
town, but four days later they were
forced to withdraw before a numer-
ically inferior Prussian army. The
battle which occurred on the heights Of
Spicheren, three miles south of the
city, resulted in loss of more than A.
600 men and 223 officers for the Ger
mans and of $500 men and 249 officers
or the French side.
"St. Ingbert, where the greatest
damage is reported to have been
wrought by the aero bombs, is seven
miles by rail east of Saarbrucken. 1t is
manufacturing town of 1880 peo-
pie. Numerous steel and iron works
and glass factories are established
here. The town is situated on the
Rohrbach, tributary of the Saar. The
place is named for the Irish saint In

Farm Loan Banks Will Better
Conditions Says Uncle Sam

be secured not only by farm mortgages
deposited in trust with a government
official (the registrar for the land
bank district) but also, as indicated
above, by the capital and surplus of
the IL land banks.
Mortgages Exempt From Taxes.
Both mortgages and bonds will be
exempt from all forms of taxation.
Farmers who wishe to obtain money
from the Federal land banks will ord
inarily be obliged to form local loan
associations, and to get their loans
through these organizations. The local
loan associations will improve the
credit of their members and reduce the
cost of their loans through the per-
Torrance of certain definite services,
among which are the following: The
committee called the loan committee
of the association will appraise the
property offered as security and ap-
prove all applications for loans which
are sent to the land bank. The secre-
tary-treasurer of the association will
transmit the papers and carry on ali
correspondence with the land bank rel
ative to the loans. The association
will guarantee the mortgages of its
members, the liability of any 1ndivid
ual member being limited, however, to
an additional sum equal to the amount
OF his capital stock. or approximately
to per cent of his own loan.
One important function of the new
system will be to establish safe stan
dards for the farm mortgage business
of the United States; for it is not pro-
posed to extend any credit except on
the basis of proper security. In addi-
ton to the endorsement of the local
association, every loan must have the
approval of one of the salaried ap-
praisers appointed by the government
for the several land banks.
Further, not more than 100000 may
be loaned to one borrower, nor more
than 80 per cent of the value of the
land offered as security plus 20 per
cent of the value of the buildings; and
the money must be used for specified
productive purposes, such as the pur-
chase of farm land, improvements, |
equipment, fertilizers, or live stock, or
for the payment of existing indebted
ness.
The Federal Farm Loan Board of
the Treasury Department has general
charge of the system. The Depart
ment of Agriculture will cooperate
with this board in supplying infOrma-
ton and rendering assistance to farm
ers who desire to take advantage of
the Federal Farm Loan Act, especially
with reference to the organization of
local associations.

WASHINGTON, ~. O.J Jan oU'-DJ
reason of the facilities created by the
Federal Farm Loan Act, whoch was
passed last summer, it will be easier
in the future for farmer to secure
money to make needed Improvements
or for the purchase of live stock, and
it will be easier also for the landless
man to purchase a farm, according to
a recent publication of the Department
of Agriculture Farmers Bulletin
1922 entitled 'How the Federal Farm
Loan Act Benefits the Farmer"
The Federal land banks established
under this act will stand ready at all
times, it is expected, to lend money to
farmers on farm-mortgage security.
The interest charges will be not more
than 6 per cent, nor more than per
cent above the rate paid on the bonds
sold by the banks. If IL per cent
bonds should be issued, therefore, the
rate charged on loans would be IL
per cent or less. There will be no COM
missions or bonuses. The loans will
be made Off periods of time ranging
from ) to 40 years, thus doing away
with the trouble and expense of fire.
Quent renewals.
The payment of certain part of the
principal annually, or semi-annually,
with the interest, will be required. The
total payment. including the interest,
will be the same for each year, and
will be just large enough so that the
entire principal will be paid off at the
end of the period. The annual pay
ment thus required to pay off a loan
OF $1,000, with interest at per cent,
in 20 years, is $80.24.
After loan has been run 5 years
the borrower will be permitted to pay
whole amount, if he desires, on any in
terest date, or to make partial pay
ments in addition to the regular in
stallment.
InstaIIment Payments Required.
The requirments of installment pay
ments on the amortization plan, as
outlined above, will serve, first, to
ciltivate habits of thrift in the Dor
rover, and second, to make possible
the placing of the loans at lower rate
of interest, since the gradual reduc-
ton of the principal constantly i'm
proves the security for the unpaid bal
ance. The privilege of optional pay
ments after the first 5 years leaves the
borrower free to discharge his indebt-
edness before the end of the loan
period. if he finds it convenient to do
so.
The Federal land banks will per-
form three important services. ~ |
They will convert the security which
farm mortgages afford into a negoti- !
able form, known as farm-loan bonds. !
(2) They will furnish additional Sc
bonds, through their control and sur
plus, and thus make the bonds more
attractive to investors. (3) They will
sell the land-bank bonds in the open +
investment market, which, for obvious
the small farmer could not
reach to advantage.
The bonds are to be issued in de-
ranging from $25 to ST.
900, and it is expected that the bonds
of small denomination will encourage
saving through their appeal to individ-
uals who have not been in the habit of
making investments. The bonds will
