The Land Bank Scheme

Why do not the borrowers on
real estate get together and do
the necessary toward forming a
land bank organization in the
county? The progress is simple
and the benefit great in more
particulars than a lower rate of
interest and the terms for money
the very best. If you are a bor-
rover on farm land it will pay
you to look into the scheme and
get up such an organization.

GREAT MARINE DISASTER
Explosion Destroys Halifax
Two Thousand Killed
Myriads Homeless

Greater than any single Incl
dent of the present war was the
explosion of the munition steam
er Mont Blanc last Friday at
Halifax Nova Scotia. More than
two thousand were killed out
right or buried in ruins of COL
lapsed buildings, dying before
help could reach them and thous-
ands more crippled and home
less. Adding to the misery of
the sufferers are wintry storms
which sweep over land and
ocean and render the work of
hunting among ruins for the
dead an impossibility.
The big munitions ship, Mont
Blanc was passing out from the
harbor of Halifax bound for the
allies across the ocean and was
loaded with ammunition and the
principal part of the cargo con-
slsting of 4500 tons of the high
est explosive. When the Mont
Blanc had reached the narrows
of the harbor, another ship a
Norwegian freighter. also under
took to pass out and the theory
of the cause for the disaster is
that signals were misunderstood.
At any rate, the limo rammed
the Mont Blanc forward and
pierced the plates and tanks of
benzine and gasoline tanks and
the fluid ran along the decks and
into the hold. Immediately fire
broke out and the crew sfodght
for few moments then quickly
abandoned the doomed vessel.
Some on board reached shore in
boats and some got as far as
mile in the woods from shore,
among whom was one who was
pierced by a piece of steel from
the ship and killed. The flames
of the burning liquids reached
the part of the ship which con-
tanned the terrible explosive in
twenty five minutes and the re-
suit was not only appalling but
the most terrific ever recorded.
Not only was a great part of
the city of Halifax blown up,
but windows were broken in
houses sixty one miles distant
and a telegraph operator four
miles from the city was killed
at his desk. Three schools that
were wrecked had all but fifty
five of the children killed. Great
buildings were shattered and
inmates buried. A zone of about
two square miles was demolish-
ed, one part of the old city be-
ing wiped out. Other ships in
the harbor put off to a supposed
safe distance from the newt
able explosion but did not get
far enough and on many a large
part of crews were killed by the
concussion. To add to the hor-
ror of it all the work of rescue
was retarded by heavy rain
and snow storm Saturday and
Sunday and Monday tempests
and bitter cold weather prevail
ed preventing work of rescuers
altogether. The President wired
his sympathy and Red Cross re-
lief parties sent to Halifax from
several points at once and pro-
visions in abundance shipped to
sufferers. but the more than
1000 dead and twenty five thous-
and injured tells a tale of sad
ness and desolation which ap.
peals to all the world and the
homeless survivors will have all
that can be done for them by
their friendly neighbor and every
one else who can help in the
least.

fancy. Flemish weavers were the
more skillful, and to Offset English
efforts the Hanseatic League was
formed to prevent English wool from
being sold on the continent.
But England's cheap labor and
abundant water power, enabled her
to compete successfully with Elan
ders in the market, and she imported
Flemish artizans to teach her own
weavers their arts. The wooden trade
became the glory of England, and
brought her untold wealth.
In the resuscitation of the wool in

speakers at the Chicago Convention

have an opportunity to reap a rich
harvest. The days of cheap wool are
