FEDERAL FARM LOAN BOARD
 FIXES INTEREST , PER CENT

St. Louis, March 26.-Herman w Danforth, president of the St. Louis Federal Land Bank, has returned from Washington where he attended con- ference of the presidents of the twelve Federal land banks, with Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, and the mem- bers of the Federal Farm Loan Board.
 He expressed qualification over the fact that this conference had fixed a flat interest rate of per cent, apply ing to all parts of the United States. He declared that this interest rate would prove great boon to the farm CTS of the middle west and predicted that within a year the St. Louis Fed eral Land Bank will have made loans aggregating $10,000,O00
 Mir. Danforth also announced that the conference of bank presidents passed a resolution requesting Con- gress to increase the limit of the loans permitted to an individual borrower from $1O,000 to S25,O00. He expressed the hope that the special session of Congress, soon to convene, would make this change for the large borrowers of the St Louis Bank District.
 In order that more funds may be available for investment in farm loan bonds, and in turn made available to lend to farmers of this district, MT Danforth urged that the legislatures of Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas i'm mediately pass laws making farm

RIC DAY IN LITTLE

 n bo . great day in Little Rock, for 1' 4hot day the little Worlds Series s-,, be played. The Boston Red sox snd I the Brooklyn Dodgers will con ''. aDs on Kavanaugh Field with the .ssn,ar .ss, championship teams. The alsvers rs will be practically the same ss s.'I participated in the Worlds Series ,ast fall. There will be new player :. two on the Brooklyn team, but 1t because they have won the job from tbe veterans. The Boston team ,.;ll be the same. The pitchers will be tbe same, and so will the catchers, so ,hoso attending should see first class game of baseball.
 From the interest manifested the ..oud in attendance will be large .,o and hundreds of fans from nearby towns will make the trip for the occa- sion.
 All Little Rock is interested more in bte opening game of the Southern League. than in this game, for, with tbe assistance of the supporters in the surrounding towns, crowd of 12,0O0 s expected. Little Rock expects to take the attendance cup, and will make close canvass to get the people out. Special rates will probably be given by the railroads, and with the team President Allen has gathered this year, victory is assured.
 President Allen appreciates the loyalty of the fans throughout the state, and especially those of the near by towns. He is endeavoring to have good roads constructed in all direc- tons from Little Rock for that brings the enthusiasts in their automobiles and swels the attendance materially. At luncheon Tuesday, when pre- parationS were made for the opening day crowd, President Allen stated that he would have as good, or better team this year than last, when the season opened, and the fans need not worry because some of the players have not asyet showed up.

loans approved investments for trust funds, insurance companies and sav- ings banks.
 Mr. Danforth announced that the bonds issued by the twelve Federal land banks would be placed on the market at 1-2 per cent, but would probably be sold at a premium. He expressed qualification over the fact that the Federal Farm Loan Board has anticipated that at least S100,OOO.OOO of these bonds will be issued during the coming year and is making ar engagements which will assure a ready market for them. All of this money will be made available to the farmers l of the United States at , per cent. To borrow from these Federal land banks, farmers are required to or ] ganize themselves into groups con- taining at least ten farmer borrowers and each group asking for at least $20,000 of loans. The St. Louis Fed eral Land Bank is now prepared to furnish blank form of articles of association to make the organization of these groups simple and easy.
 Other necessary blanks will also be furnished on application.
 Farmers are permitted to borrow up
 to 50 per cent of the appraised value
 of the land, plus 20 per cent of the
 value of the permanent insured im- provements. Loans are to be made at
 , per cent and must be retired on the
 amortization plan, which means re-
 payment by fixed annual payments
 throughout the period of the loan.
 The loans may run from to 40 years
 at the option of the borrower. The
 object of these long time loans is to
 enable the farmer to meet these small
 annual payments cut of the increased | earnings of the land, made possible by the investment of the borrowed money
 This new banking system is purely cooperative. It is for the sole use ot farmers and prospective farmers aFrmers will eventually own all of the stock of the Federal land banks anC they will elect the officers of these banks. There is no opportunity fol individual profit in the entire system The preliminary organization oi National farm loan associations has progressed to a degree far beyond the expectations of the Federal Farm Loan Board at Washington and every thing points to the unqualified success: of this new enterprise.

WHAT BRINGS SYMPATHY,
 A DISGRACE IN FUTURE

"To have your house or property burn will be disgrace in future years. It will be as great reproach to any man to sustain a fire loss as for a banker to fail or for captain to lose his ship. People do not so regard fire at this time and that's one reason we have so many of them, but sentiment is surely changing
 So says J. S. Speed, of the Arkan sas Actuarial Bureau on the preven' tion of careless fires
 Fire waste is great national sm as we'll as a curse. A man who would load all his earthly property and his wife and children on rickety raft and deliberately plunge out into the rapids of flooded stream would be regarded as a lunatic and would be dealt with by law. The man who houses his fam ily and stores his property in a fire trap, a building that is liable to burn any night while it's occupants are in their beds, gets only sympathy from his neighbors. It may have been that the fire was caused by fiue he knew was defective or at least didn't know to be safe or from one of nifty pre- ventable causes but from our present state of public sentiment he reaps lit tie condemnation.
 Many good people are justly in- censed because food by the million tons is being hauled out to sea and there sunk by submarines while the prices of food in the United States are fast climbing to a point that means hunger and privation for thousands. The fact that this destroyed food may be insured and it's actual owners re- imbursed does not seem to give them the same sort of balm that does insur- ance on property destroyed by hre'
 Property destroyed by fire is as much wasted and just as much loss to mankind as property sunk in the ocean. Insurance merely distributes the burden of loss among many-7H doesn't reimburse mankind for the property wasted and gone, It doesn't bring down, prices that scarcity boosts. The people of the United States are truly burning up their heritage. They are cursed by lack of care and thoughtfulness and none can galnsay

ance as a motion picture star IN the
roIliclling farce-comedy, Baby Mine,
which is the attraction at Moore's

story is that of young wife whose

sober-minded husband TO leave her.
To entice him home again, Zoie an

for those he loves. A common failing
of humanity is the keynote of the
whole play. A little greed for more
wealth, a desire to live among the
urban charms of Bangor. rather than
among the rustic delights, the peace
and security, but prosiness of the
farm on the borders Of Frenchman's 5
Bay; a longing to see the housewife

ing, wish to have the oldest girl a
| bookkeeper rather than the wife and
mother on a farm with the accom-
panying toll and responsibility; in
short, an ambition without bounds
which overleaps itself in the under
lying motives of the play. Avaricious-
ness steels the heart of the parent
against the child. breaks the frater-
nal bond which bound two brothers

George Mckay and Ottie Ardine in
musical comedy skit. called "AlI In
Fun" will headline the bill at the B.
F. Keith Theater this week. They
sing the latest ditties, exchange the
current banter, and break into dance
steps as occasion offers, with Miss Ar
dine changing costumes almost as
often as the sunset colors in autumn.
The extra added attraction will be
another well-known New York fea-
ture, George Whiting and Sadie Burt,
who have been out of vaudeville and
in the "gfrl'' shows for a long time.
They will offer "Songsayings." a
breezy, laughter-stirring. applause
winning insertion. full of pep and per
sonality, according to creditable New
York reports. Marion Morgan's Art
Dancers have made such a profoundly
favorable impression that their en-
Gagement was expanded a second
week. They will be seen again in AN
Historical Roman Ballet in Three Epi-
sodes," which the Washington papers
commended last week as exquisite, -
impressive" realistic" "incompara-
BILE" and "the most elaborate in vaU-
deville."
LNdS ElSdIOT Dali is dHOlnGE special
feature. This talented mistress of the
violin will offer a repertoire calculated
to crafty a wide variety of demand
from lovers OF either classical or pop
ular selections. Al and Fannie Sted-
man are also on the list. Their vehicle
is the familiar "Pianocapers." Much
new material will be submitted in the
form of eccentric playing and tuneful
drollery. New to Washington but with
an established New York reputation
as a blackface humoTist, Walter
Weems will offer a monologue said to
be teeming with the genuine wit and
philosophy of the Southern darkey. Ed
and Lou Miller. billed as Brothers IN
Harmony" are another pair of new
comers. Their operate transpositions
are credited with being the best of the
kind in vaudeville. Burdella Patter-
son IS an annual visitor. Her living
reproductions of famous statuary, will
comprise new and beautiful figures.
The pipe organ recitals and the
Hearst-Pathe news pictorial and war
section complete the program which
the management believes will equal
any that have already earned un-
stinted praise this seasol.

The Third season of the Ten Star
Concerts presents an array of talent
that promises a musical treat to
Washington concert goers.
The Ten Star Series is becoming

that offered by Sam Sidman's Own
Company, at the Gayety Theater
