ALLEGES HE UTTERED
THREAT AGAINST GIRL
Report That North Side Young
Man Made Himself Rather
s. Pr0miScuOus
From Tuesdays Daily.

''Sh 'GSSody Cdity,
There was a hubbub last night and
today in North Mankato. 1t was
over the excitement that a young man
was alleged to have displayed over
being turned down by a North Man
kato girl with whom he used to go,
but who did not seem to care for
his company any more.
Constable Nixon last night took
the case in hand and took charge of
the young man. The latter was
taken over to the police station at
Mankato, but later was released.
There was no warrant against him.
The story was circulated to the
effect that the young man appeared
last night at the place on Nicollet
avenue where the girl used to live,
and that he called out, rs Elizabeth
Laven here? If so, | want to shoot
her 1t is stated that he tried to
find her at several places, not know
ing where she lived and that he re-
peatedly threatened to shoot her.
That the young mans nerves were
unstrung appears to be the situation
from the numerous reports. There
is one story to the effect that he de-
manded that a boy on the street tell
MIN where Miss Elizabeth Laven
lived, and that the boy said he did
not know, and that thereupon the
excited young man knocked the child
down.
Miss Elizabeth Laven said today
that she did not care to go with the
young man, though she had gone with
him once or twice few years ago
She said she understood that he had
been drinking and that this had much
to do with the antics that he cut up
last night. She was reminded that

than 100000, nor less than 500. No
National Farm Loan association may
start with aggregate loans less than
$4,000. -. -..s.-
If John Smith, farmer, desires
to borrow $4,000 he invests in the
stock of his local loan association
one-twentieth of this amount, or $100.
His association then invests this
money in the stock of -, the federal
land bank, enabling it thus to in
crease its capital so as to make an
other loan of $4,000 to some other
farmer. The borrower gets his in
vestment back when he pays off his
loan, or he may turn it in as the last
payment on his loan.
Farmers are required to form these
organizations so that they eventually
will control the federal land banks.
Each loan association votes in the
election of the directors of its fed
eral land bank. Each association
has loan committee which values
the land of it's members subject to
the approval of the land bank ap-
praiser and the federal land bank. Fac
association has a board of directors
which has the power to exclude or
admit new members by a two thirds
vote. 1t is through this local loon
association that the farmer invests
the money to be used for increasing
the capital stock of the federal land
banks, and this is how the farmer
comes into possession of his own
banking system. $40. ,.-
Farmers. are permitted to borrow
up to. 80 per cent, of the appraised
value of their land and 20 per cent
of the appraised value of, the perma-
ment insured improvements thereon.
1t is not necessary for borrower
to be an actual land owner when he
joins, but the landless man must
use the borrowed money to purchase
land which he intends to Immediately
begin farming. Another chapter will
be devoted to this feature.

new STATE FAIR REGIME
St. Paul Paper Recognizes George
Atchison's Valuable Services.

St. Paul Paper Recognizes George
Atchson's Valuable Services.
st. Paul Dispatch: The state fair
board recognized the nine-years
service of George Atchison of Man
kato by choosing him president of
the organization for the final year OF
his activity. He pledged his en-
deavor to make the state fair great
er and better than ever, and there
is no doubt that he will redeem it
He has been a devoted and baluable
member of the board, and nothing
but favorable auguries may be drawn
from his promotion.
The reelection of Charles Patter-
son as vice president by a unani-
nous vote is deserved tribute to
his ability and unstinted render OF
service. The expression of the board
tive genius is echoed by all in knowl
edge of the arduous demand the
service makes upon the management
of the fair.
In no more definite way is the
prosperity of Minnesota, with its
wide opportunity, expressed to the
world than through the agricultural
society and the annual exposition
committed to its charge. The state
fair has risen steadily in rank until
it stands first in the cOuntry-prob-
ably now first in the world, since the
war diminished the great Russian
fair at Nishni Novgorod. 1t is d
worthy and valuable expression OF
agricultural and industrial Minnesota
and appeals to the best support
sympathetically and financially.

again there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call

really one Of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist
