55l l. W. W. JAILED

Ellensburg, Wash, July H.
Lieutenant Farrell, with a sergeant
and six men of company F, Sec
ond Washington regiment of the
national guard, arrested So |. W..
w. between Whittier and Easton to
day on charges of intimidating
men engaged on Milwaukee, rail
road identification work over the
Cascade mountains. The SIS men
were brought to Ellensburg to-
night. Fifteen hundred people at
the station when the train arrived
were held back by soldiers.
Five /. w. w. ringleaders, includ-
ing three confessed alien Germans,
with several of their followers, are
in the county Jail, which is sur
rounded by soldiers. The remain
der of the l. w. w. are imprisoned
in railway coach in the yards,
which is also guarded by soldiers.
AS the train left Easton and at
CleElum several hundred l. w. W.
lined up and cheered the imprison-
ed men. Among the cries were
"They can't hold you, remember
Everett"
Most of the prisoners are foreign
born, few having even their first
papers.
Trouble started two days ago
when ground men on the Milwau-
kee identification, largely compos-
ed of l. w. W., struck for higher
wages. Since then there have been
frequent reports of intimidation.
Among the men rounded up are 3
who claim they are not members
but quit work when their lives
were threatened. Two others cla-
i'm they were forced to join Mon
day night.

IS FARM BANK LENDING
TOO MUCH MONEY?

The Federal Land dank of Spo-
kane is an institution which has
come to Spokane this year and is
having an important influence on
financial affairs of the Pacific
northwest, although it has been ac-
lively at work only short time.
agents are watching it with keen
eye, some of them jealous of its
success in doing a big volume of
business, but more of them COM
mending its work and testifying
daily that it is a valuable asset.
Only one critism has been made.
Some believe the bank is mourning
land values. 1t is claimed that the
government is loaning sometimes
as much as twice the amount on a
farm that private loan companies
have been willing to loan in the
past and that the government in
instances have been cited, how
ever.
Don't Worry, Says O'Shea
II am sure that the government is
not loaning more than so per cent
of the value of the land" said Dam
iel G. O'Shea, president and the ac-
tive head of the institution. en-
stead of the loan associations be-
ing inclined to favor large loans
for their members they seem dis
posed to oppose them. feel certain
the government is not making the
mistake of loaning too much on
any land.'
Before the bank was established
it was claimed it would enable
many men to obtain money who
were not formerly able to do So.
This Is borne out to limited extent
and it is feature which bankers
like and believe is of much value
to the country. President O'Shea
says, however, that thus far only
those who have obtained loans were
not borrowers before.
One feature is especially benifi-
cial. The borrower swears that
he will use the money for specific
purpose. He can therefore get mo-
ney for clearing land, or making
other improvements that are impo-
rtant.
Another commended feature is
the ability of a man to borrow a
small amount-$200 or $500 that
he may need, but could not secure
advantagously through loan COM
pany because of the expense of ma
king the loan and the examination
of the property.
The avrage amount of loans is
running higher than was expected.
Mr.. O'Shea says it is more than
$4,000 to a man. This he explains
partly by the fact that Montana
land holdings are large.
There seems to be no question that
the farm loan bank is keeping down
and bringing down the rate of in
terest on all farm loaning. The fact
that the government loans at 5 per
cent and for long time has its eff
ect in inducing others in the loan
businss to max low rates.
Although the population of the
four states included in the territory
of the federal loan bank is smaller
than that of most if not each of the
other banks the Spokane officials
have gotten into the harness so gu
ickly that they have done large
business for the time they have been
organized and probably larger than
any of the other banks have done.

Peter Gets a Lesson in Loq-
ging. /

Paddy the Beaver is a member of the
oldest logging family in the world.
Before man learned to cut trees and
make them into logs to be used for
building a house or for other purposes
Paddy's ancestors were logging in the
Green Forest. They were cutting
down trees and then cutting these
into logs. and after they had eaten
the bark from them were using them
in building houses and dams. So it
is no wonder that Paddy knows just
how best to go about his work.
AS Peter Rabbit sat watching Paddy
cut into logs the aspen tree he had
just cut down he had to admire the
way In which Paddy went about it.
He couldn't help, but admire:
OF course ns that rst tree sn had aa
was to cut off those branches close
to the trunk. For the first time Peter
realized what wonderful tools were
those four great yellow cutting teeth
of Paddy's. two in the upper jaw and
two in the lower jaw.
Il should hate to have him bite
me-. thought Peter. as he watched
Paddy with one bite cut of branch
would hate to feel those teeth. Why.
he could take a leg off with single
bite!"
AS Paddy cut off the branches he
dragged them into the canal and
swan with them out to his food pile
in the pond. 1t took quite a while to
do all this. but this particular tree
wasn't very big one or Peter never
would have had the patience to re-
main. When the branches had been
disposed of Paddy started to work on
the trunk. About five feet from the
end he began to gnaw. Chip after chip
Peter looked on. Finally Peter grew
tired Of just watching and Paddy

The one-piece dress under a luxuriant
coat Is quite the smartest thing Of the
season. OF the style Of these frocks
there is an infinite variety. Some fea.
tunic. while others adhere to the sim
pie straight lines. For everyday wear
there Is always the tried and true
serge frock; 1t is as indispensable az
daily bread. This delightful model
sketched is of brown serge, quite sim:
ply made and charmingly embroidered
in colored worsted. The sleeves ano
the quaint little vest are made OF
brown georgette. as is the smart little
tailored bow at the throat. On the
is an intricate design done in pink ano
yellow. The overskirt hangs graceful
ly over the straight, narrow under
skirt and uses two wide. tailored flaps
at the hips in lieu of pockets.
A pretty afternoon gown is in navy
blue satin. featuring the new square
collar and hustle back. The waist Is
cut away at the neck in deep. severe
square. and the gold-embroidered col
lar is finished with blue silk tassels
Draped overskirt and tight-fitting bod
ice are deliberately embroidered In
gold, also the deep cuffs.
There Is something so naive about
these velvet sets for young girls;
The set sketched is of navy blue velvet
sparingly trimmed with skunk. The
hat is small. youthful affair shaped
somewhat like a French helmet. its
crown adorned with narrow bands of
skunk. it's brim frightened with a
piping of rainbow MORE ribbon. com
bining shades Of yellow, pink, blue
violet and green. giving truly dash
ing effect. The most piquant thing a
cape can do is to scallop itself like the
one in the sketch. A band of skunk
finishes the neck below the high. frilly
collar. and old blue velvet ribbon is
utilized for streamers and bow. A
very chic and serviceable little set.
Another chic hat comes in Belgian
blue velvet with soft tam -o'-shanter
crown and slightly rolled brim. Stitch
ing in colored worsteds is very deco
rative against the blue. and two long
worsted tassels fall from the top of the
crown.
White felt uses sort of camouf1age
of cut blue velvet arranged in cross
bars on the crown and brim and q
flock of red birds for a dash of color
Considerable is being said about wells
lust now. and a glance at some of the
newest models gives the reason. Never
were wells more fascinating or so alto
gether becoming. Some are made OF
hand-woven lace beautifully embroid-
cred. in silk and velvet, while some Of
the more simple designs show small
chenille dots or perhaps flower on
the left cheek. The newest veil is worn
loose and allowed to float about the
face. or is thrown back. giving soften
ing effect to the stiff hat brim.

he worked. So Peter went of to look
for something to eat. When he return
ed Paddy was just finishing that cut;
Then he pushed and pulled and rolled
the log he had cut off until 1t was in
the canal and ready to be f1oated out
to the pond. Paddy stopped then to
rest few minutes. for he was tired.
DO you always cut tree up that
way?" asked Peter.
