Says State Farm
Loans Now Available

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis.-Farmers OF Jackson county
who contemplate securing loans from
the state rural credits fund, may Sc
cure blanks and instructions by an.
plying to the state land board attor-
ney for this county, o. c. Boggs, at
Medford. 1t is also suggested by
DR.. Hector Macpherson Of the o. A.
c., department of rural economies,
who assisted in drawing the bill,
that the loans be negotiated as soon
as possible. General interest rates
are likely, in face OF war conditions,
to rise as much as / per cent in q
few months, and eventually put the
federal loan measure entirely out of
business as well as render the opera
ton Of the state law much harder.
Such has been the course in British
Columbia, where similar laws were
enacted four years ago, but have not
yet been put into operation because
Of the war.
"a good deal of confusion exists"
says Dr.. Macpherson, as to how to
proceed to get a loan. Intending
borrowers should call up their county
representative Of the state land
board who can supply them with
blanks and give them instructions.
Loans may be made for 10, 20, 80 or
96 year periods. Borrowers are ad-
vised to take the 36-year loans,
which can be paid, principal and in
terest, in 35 annual payments of Sc
each and one-the last-payment of
about $40. If able to pay sooner they
may pay as fast as they please, and
interest will be stopped on all partial
as soon as made"

COMMISSION FAILS TO IMPROVE
RELATIONS BETWEEN UNITED

Officially Admitted That carranEa

Washington.-when the American
members of the INSTANTANEOUS
Joint commission had finished consid.
GRAFTON on Tuesday OF General Car.
ranza's reply failing to comply with
their demand that the protocol proyid-
ing for withdrawal OF the American
troops from Mexico be ratified, there
were indications that efforts to enter
into an agreement with the de facto
government through the commission
would be abandoned. For the first
time an official admission was made
that Carranza had refused to sign the
protocol.
The failure OF the commission TO
give TO Mexican.American relations
brighter aspect was offset somewhat
by official limitations that Henry p.
Fletcher confirmed as ambassador to
Mexico almost q year ago, was about
to start for his post, where American
interests now are represented by a
clerk. The report that General Per.
shing's expedition soon would be
withdrawn, regardless of Carranza's
attitude, also gained fresh impetus
and II was understood the administra.
tion had this move under serious con.
siderRtion.
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambas.
sador designate, announced during the
day that he had been summoned TO
Mexico to confer with General Car.
rama regarding the relations OF the
two nations. This was construed in
some quarters as indicating deter.
mination by Carranza to withdraw his
diplomatic representative. Mr.. Are.
dondo stated. however, that he ex.

sued the following order addressed to
the army and navy:
Again year of war lies behind
us. with hard fighting and sacrifices,
riches in successes and victories. The

deeds Of our submarines have secured
for my navy glory and admiration for

Of war on land and sea. A grateful
fatherland looks to you with unshak

The incompatible warlike spirit alive
in your ranks. your tenacity. your

your love of the fatherland, are to me

INTERESTING CITY OF CHINA
uraa, in the North, Chiefly Celebrated
for the Number Of Its Pictur-
esque "HoIy Men,"

One of the least-known cities of
China is Urga, where sand, squalor and
holy men are the predpminating fea-
lures. Yet the place Is not without
interest. Urga lies at the edge of a
desert in North China, and its people
are most un-Chinese in appearance. 1t
is said that every third man met there
is lama. The chief lama in Urga
is as great a parsonage In the North
as the Dalai lama half century ago.
Thousands upon thosands of lesser
lamas adore him and tens of thou
sands of the popnlace In their turn
adore lesser lamas. There is also
college for the study OF religion In
Urga, so that holy men in all stages
of holiness are present in great num-
bers. There are frequent festivals,
with great spinning Of prayer wheels
and making of offerings and ceremo-
mics of publication. eliminating in the
grOtesquely beautiful devil dance by
certain of the lamas irl their horrible
robes and masks. The populace is
used to the religious atmosphere,
though, and 1t is the pilgrims from the
country round who are chiefly Inn
pressed. They include all manner of
mysterious folks who live OH the track
less steppes Of inland Asia-herders
by trade and doubtless robbers and
caravan bandits by vocation in most
cases.
