Sloan Suggested
For Farm Appraiser Under New Ru-

Friends of A. P Sloan, of Hubble
are urging him for appointment a:
one of the three appraisers for thi.
district, under the federal Rura
Credits farm loan law recently passed
by congress. Strong endorsement.
for Mr.. Sloan have gone in to Sena
tors Beckham and James at Washing
ton, and Congressman Harvey Helm
Mr.. Sloan is an active, working dem.
ocrat. He is precinct committeeman
for his party in his precinct, and has
had life times experience on the
farm, so is exceptionally we'll quail
fled for the place, to which his
friends are urging that he be appoint
ed.
Officials of the Farm Loan Board
have announced that more than So
600 farmers have applied for mort
gage loans aggregating approximate
ly S15O,0OO,OO0, or more than seven
teen times the amount of money
which will be Immediately available
for loans upon the organization of
the twelve Farm Loan Banks.
Most of the applications have come
from the South and West. They Will
continue to come in by hundreds ev-
cry day. Requests Of 200 application
blanks, contemplating requests for
loans to 1000 farmers, have come
from Iowa alone.
Although the location of the banks
probably will not be announced he
fore December 20, it was said that
almost Immediately after organiza-
ton banks would find it necessary
to issue bonds for virtually their en-
tire capital stock to meet the demands
of borrowers.
The rate of interest on bonds is a
subject now engaging the boards at
tention. 1t is thought that it will not
exceed per cent. The bonds will
be offered at the maximum allowed
by law of 1 per cent less than the
rate charged for loans. Daily con-
ferences are being held by board
members with bankers from various
sections to determine the minimum
rate at which the bonds will be alb
sorbed by investors, as this will de-
termine the interest rate to be
charged on loans. The board also is
considering whether the bonds shall
be offered to individual investors or
underwriters by banking houses in
sizable blocks. AS the capital stock
of each bank is to be only $75O.G0O,
repeated turnovers of the capital and
frequent bond issues covering loans
will be necessary if all applications
are to be taken care of.

STEPS TAKEN TO SPEND
M|LI|0NSAT NAVY YARD
Appropriation of 1900, 900 by Last
Congress Goes Mostly to En-
larging Gun Plant.

Prompt action has been taken by the
Navy Department to enforce the act of
the last Congress in appropriating ST.
100000 for increasing the efficiency OF
the big gun factory at the Washington
navy yard. Since the declaration of war
with Germany considerable land ad-
joining the navy yard on the east and
west has been acquired and a large
amount Of construction work has been
completed, so that the capacity Of the
great gun plant has been practically
doubled and it is now The largest estab-
lishment of its kind in the world.
From about 5000 the force of en-
ployes has been gradually increased.
There are now about 5000 skilled work
men of all trades working day and
night, in three shifts, speeding up the
manufacture of great guns and other
ordnance absolutely essential to the
successful prosecution of the war. AS
the work devolving on this plant is on
the increase, the indications are that
the total force of employees eventually
will have to be increased to about
10000.
The new land acquired. extending on
the east side to the line of 11th street
and on the west side to near the line of
1st street, was paid for out of special
appropriations made about a year ago.
The principal use of the appropriation
of S7.500.000 will be for the construc-
ton of buildings and equipments for
the assembling of guns These build
ings and machinery will cost about
81. .o0o.0 900. a brass foundry, designed
to double the output of castings, also
is being built at an estimated cost of
1925, 900. A modern pattern shop has
been planned and additions are to be
made to the steel foundry and the forge
shop. =

Should Put Away Own Coal.

'I would recommend that people put
in their own coal. for three principal
reasons" said Mr.. Weaver. I'm the
first place. he should do it to help the
dealers fill their orders quickly and to
enable his neighbor to get coal as soon
as possible. In the second place. 1t is
a good example of thrift, and this is
the time for every legitimate economy.
And. finally, putting away a ton or
two of coal is good exercise and will
help put the men and boys of Wash
