The Federal Farm loan board
found it possible to fix the interest
rate at per cent. throughout the
whole United States because of the
healthy demand for farm loan bonds,
and the large volume Of business as
sured in advance, making it possible
, for the banks to operate on a small
nercentage of profit. Under the
j Federal Farm Loan system twelve
Federal land banks have been Great
ed and provided by the government
and by private investors, with $780,
600 initial capital each. These banks
lend money to farmers on mortgages,
running from s to 40 years to suit
the borrower, to be repaid in small
annual instalments throughout the
/.
Federal land banks has taken $5O,oOo
or more Of farm mortgages. it pools
these mortgages and issues bonds
sagainst them, selling these bonds to
produce additional money to lend to
farmers AS fast as farm mortgages
are taken, new issues OF bonds are
made and Just as long as there Is
market for farm loan bonds at the
~ money
available to the farmer at per cent.
After consultation with investment
men in eastern financial centers, the
Farm Loan Board has fixed the rate
of these bonds at IL per cent. and
they Will undoubtedly sell at a pre-
MUM. These bonds are exempt
from all forms Of taxation; they are
protected by the Secret Service. They
are Sfnstrumentalities OF the govern
ment The Federal Farm Loan Board
has anticipated demand for approx
u,ately one hundred million dollars OF
these farm loan bonds during the frst
wear and has made arrangements to
assure a ready market for them.
The one-half per cent. between the
price of the bonds and the rate OF in
terest to the farmer, will be used to
defrav the expenses of the Federal
! Land Banks.
The Federal Land Bank which Will
serve all Of New England, New YORK
and New Jersey, is located at Spring
field, Massachusetts,.
A fat rate Of S per cent has been
established for the entire United
States. The average interest rate for
the whole country is now per cent
49, q total volume of four billion dol
lars. This means that the new Fed
, eral loan system will enable the farm
ers Of the United States to save ap-
proximately one hundred million DOL

KILLS PET HORSES RATHER
THAN LEAVE THEM BEHIND
Schmidt, Farmer and Poet, Regarded
Animals as His Personal Friends.

Jerseyville, Ill-Rather than see his
beloved horses, the companions of years
Of toll on his farm, go to strangers
Charles Schmidt, a farmer near here,
had his three pet animals shot. Schmidt
is preparing to leave his farm and en-
gage in rice farming in Arkansas, an
occupation in which he will no longer
need horses
Schmidt regarded his horses as his
personal friends, and the dread that If
he sold them others might be cruel to
the animals was more than he could
bear The animals were valued at
more than $50 apiece.
Known as the ''town poet" Schmidt
kept diary in rime Of the happen
ings Of his life. He was a favorite
among the young people Of JerseyviTle
because he kept open house on his
place three evenings week and Sun
days. He permitted card playing, but
no gambling, and no matter who came
he was welcome at the Schmidt home.
After the guest departed Schmidt
would write rime about the visitor
and put it with his collection. A trunk
full Of these verses will be taken to
Arkansas by Schmidt. Several years
ago Schmidt donated baseball grounds
to the boys Of Jerseyville for Sunday
ball games, but stipulated that the play
ers would have to, attend church first.

She couldn't have told why she said
it. She was trying to think of some
thing else 20 say which would be kind
er by far. And then. half lifting her,
he had swung her around to him. For
a moment he held her, face close to
that small, frightened face buried in
its deep collar, while she struggled
uselessly against those hard arms,
which tried not to hurt her. Her lips
continued to rebel long after her eyes
had closed-long after body and brain
were quiescent
"You mustn'tr she gasped "Oh. l
can't let yOu-the moon-we-we'r
sure to be Scent"
His lips on hers silenced that last
incoherent resistance. She sat, wavy
brown head bowed. when he had set
her free.
Il was going to ask you not to for
getr There was no WEAKNESS now in
his voice. Il had planned to ask you
just that little ago and it would
have been a weak and useless request,
wouldn't it? Any man who has to beg
to be remembered is not the sort to re-
main long in any wOman's brain. So

spring, and you're coming to stay,
And now I'm telling you goodby. It's

He helped her to her feet Together
they turned-and Archibald Wicker
sham, tall to gauntness in the moon
. light, was coming across toward them
from the direction of the cabin. The
girls slim body stiffened. but Steve
saw her chin come up. His own body
grew lazier still it seemed in length
and limb
Understands approaching steps
were crisply precise. He stopped an
arms length in front of them, and his
words were an echo of that last SEN
tence Of Steve's.
"It's time you retired" he said, ig-
noring the other mans presence entire
ly. Its cold, and you have a long.
hard ride ahead of you tomorrow"
For a barely perceptible moment.
with the eyes of both men upon her,
Barbara kept her place. Neither of
them saw that her teeth were tightly
closed over one full lip; neither knew
that she had closed her eyes diZZily
for an instant. And then without a
word she put her hand upon the arm
which Wickersham offered her. But
Steve. on the other side. walked with
her that night as far as the door of
the storehouse shack. Miriam herself
opened the door and snatched Barbara
within and then laughed with her con-
summate impudence into both mems
faces.
"G'lang wild yes now" she flung at
them, "an' quit disturbin' dacint folks
that likes to sleep O nights!'
She slammed the door upon them.
They stood there a second or two,
Wickersham an inch or more taller
and inches narrower in shoulder and
girth of chest PerfunctOrily they nod
ded each to the other and wheeled 81
lently upon their heels.
1t was the next evening when Bar
bara re-entered the house beyond the
hedge. There was a streak of light
