May INCREASE LIMIT
OF FARM LOAN ACT
Congress May Be Asked to
Change Status-Will
Increase Scope.

As a e Of extending the bene-
fits, Of the federal farm loan system
the federal farm loan board has de-
cided to ask congress to change the
law so that a maximum amount of
s25, 900 may be loaned to n Dor
rover.
At present the maximum that may
be loaned to any n person is S1O,-
600. AS the law now stands a farm
may be worth $4,000 but its maxi
mum loan capacity is only $4,000. AS
designed primarily to benefit the
small farmer it was with some hest
tation that the farm loan board has
decided to ask congress to extend
the borrowing limit, but the conclu-
sion to do so was finally reached un-
animously. Inasmuch as the small
borrower will still have all the adj
vantages they would enjoy under the
present law and inasmuch as the
large loans, like the small ones, will
have behind them 50 Of. first class real
security for every dollar loaned, the
members of the board could see no
objection to the change and it is
expected that congress will lose no
time in enacting the boards recon-
mendation into law.
This need of a larger limit on indi-
vidual loans has been wildly i'm
pressed upon the board, especially in
certain parts of the south and in the
rich farming sections of the north.
1t has been represented to the board
that the present limit on loans would
make the system inadequate for the
needs of the big southern plantation
owners and also for the use Of farm
ers who own land worth 5000 and $3.50
per acre in the northern states. In
the entire state Of Iowa, regarded as
the best farming state of the union,
the total applications for loans
amount to Sis, 600, although Iowa
has the largest farm mortgage in
debtedness of any state in the union.
1t is believed that this is due to the
low limit of loans that may be Sc
cured under the farm loan system.
The average Iowa farm consists of
200 acres, worth perhaps 5000 per
acre, and at half of it's appraised
value the average Iowa farm ought
to carry a loan of 100000 in perfect
safety. Because the Iowa farmers
could only be assured of a maximum
borrowing capacity of $4,000 under
the federal farm loan system, which
would tie up their land with first
mortgage, they have preferred to get
their money where there would be
no limit on the amount they coulc
borrow except the extent of the Sc.
curity they we're able to offer.
Under the proposed amendment tt
the farm loan banking act the Iowa
farmer whose land is worth $4,000

ZEALAND TO
REMAIN PART OF
BRITISH EMPIRE
Germany Has Forfeited
Right to Country Says
Australian Premier
(By Associated Press. }


New York, Sept. ls.-Germany has
forfeited her right to possession Of
Northern New Zealand, which will
remain part OF the British empire at
the close OF the war, declared w. A.
Holman, premier of New South Wales,
in an address at q luncheon given in
his honor here yesterday by Lord
NorthclifEe, head Of the British mis-
sion in this country.
Australia did not enter this war
because of military ardor or in a
spirit Of jingoism," the premier said,
'but because England's cause was
the cause Of right. We were under
b obligation, and we had no interest
to serve. 1t is a fact that as a re-
suit OF the war the territory of north
ern New Zealand has fallen into our
hands and we intend to keep it. But
wei did not enter the war for that
purpose. Germany has forfeited her
right to it,
Peace at this time would be merely
= respite in which the enemies Of de-
mocracy would prepare for more
vigorous onslaught upon the liberty
loving peoples Of the world, continu-
ed Premier Holman. The war must
be fought to finish, he added, in
order that democracy shall be free
to take up its gigantic task with a
free hand and undismayed by the
frightful spectre OF Prussian mill
tarism".
eve, of Australia, are pleased that
the mighty power of the United
States has been thrown on the side
of the gallant armies already in the
field under the standard OF democ-
.racy," Premier Holman said. "Your
President was right in exerting every
means in his power to keep this ma
ton out Of war but now that the die
has been cast. the sword Of democracy
must triumph in the end. The gall
liant sons Of America will take their
places with the valiant sons Of other
free nations and when we meet again
IL will be. to rejoice over common
victory and look forward with clear
vision to the everlasting peace that
shall have been earned by the cham
pions OF democracy.
Lord Northcliffe referred to Prem
Ter Holman as "one Of the most re-
markable young men in the British
empire"

American Woman" in Canada
Remembers Her Boys" Going
To Front Under u. S. COloES

Il am an American resident in
Winnipeg. and all through the
war have been deeply moved by
the bravery OF the Canadian boys
who have gone to the front. l
know that the boys of the u. S.
A. will do their bit with equal
self-sacrifice in the cause Of
humanity, and will help to crush
barbarism now rampant through
the ambition of the German
Kaiser and his military party.
II have seen the boys come
home to Winnipeg wounded and
disabled for life, but never
saw one Of them disheartened or
sorry he had given so much in
the great cause.
Bless our own American boys
in khaki and may have the
honor Of knowing that the work
of my hands will bring one of
them some comfort.
Yours for America to win the

ORPHEUM

Henrietta Crosman and her sup
porting company in Marian de For
est's comedy, Erstwhile Susan, which
is a dramatiZation of Helen r. Mar
tins novel OF Pennsylvania Dutch
life, entitled Barnabetta. is the first
important dramatic attraction of the
new season at the Orpheum on FRI
day, Sept. Fl.
Miss Crosman now under the di-
rection of Joseph Ritter. returns in
her present play to the high comedy
pies the foremost position on the
American stage. 1t is safe to say
that never before has she delighted
her admirers more thoroughly than
by her impersonation of Juliet Mill
Ter, an elocutionist from Iowa. who
comes to uplift and to bring gaiety
and kindness to the little Pennsyl-
vania Dutch town of Reinhartz Sta
ton. Technically the role is one of
the most difficult that Miss Crosman
has ever essayed, since its successful
Interpretation necessitates a sus-
tanned emotional purpose through
scenes Of the most whimsical COM
edy. The love. story of the play con-
Germs Barnabetta, a pretty and visit
ful Cinderella of the Pennsylvania
Dutch. Transformed from a house
hold drudge into a happy, fascinating
and thoroughly emancipated young
woman through the agency Of the
elocutionist, whose tenderness and
maternal love being aroused by the
unhappy condition Of Barnabetta,
marries her hard-fisted old father,
Barnaby Dreary, for the sole purpose
of bringing about the release of the
girl.
The play is said to be a very ac-
curate picture Of life in certain OF
the smaller Pennsylvania Dutch
communities, and it is written in
such a spirit of genial good humor
that even the originals of the char.
acters might well enjoy the per-
Torrance.
