FAyORS, AMENDMENTS.
TO-FARM,L0 IAN. ACT
Federal Board Would Extend
Scope Of System.

Washington, Dec 23 The federal
farm loan board announced to-day thal
it advocated amendments to the farm
loan act under which many private
farm MORTGAGE bankers may enter the
government system as joint stock land
banks At the same time the board
also gave warning that it expects in
tcrests seeking to break down the sys-
TEN to file 4 suit soon to test the COLI
stitutionality Of the act.
Amendments to the existing law
which will be specifically recommended
10 congress in the boards forthcoming
annual report are:
TO remove present restriction per
hitting il Joint stock land bank to do
business only in the state where 1t IS
situated and one contiguous state;
To permit bank to issue bonds to
the amount of twenty times its capital
stock. which must be $4,000 or more,
instead of fifteen times as under exist
ing law, and to raise from six TO SIN
and one half per cent the maximum
interest rate, which JOINT stock And
banks may charge for loans to farm
crs
All these amendments have been
sought by the Farm Mortgage Eank-
ers association, whose leaders pre-
licted that a large proportion of the
members would seek government
charter and operate under supervision
of the farm loan board if the modifica-
lions were made. Their plea to be al
lowed to use the name national land
bank" instead Of Joint stock land
bank" has not been received favorably
| hy the board, owing to fear of con-
! tusing the private institutions with
tho governments II federal land banks.
| Joint stock land banks must be com
PEELED to limit interest rates on loans
within one per cent more than the, SELL
ing price of their bonds, even though
| The maximum We're raised to six and a
half per cent. They also would have to
compete with The federal land banks
new rate of five and a half per cent.

Example of Means Used by
German Scouts in France for Com
~municatins information.

A particularly ingenious example
of the methods employed by German
scouts in France for communicating
information to their troops has been
reported from France 1t appears
that the German intelligence depart
ment took an idea or two from the
gvpsies, who have a code of signs
that they write on walls and fences
as they pass along. for the informa-
ton of other members of their clan.
A ~favorite sign with the Germans
has been a black COW. That animal,
roughly sketched in black crayon on
walls, gates and fences, was fire.
quently noticed by the French as
they passed, and was so crudely
drawn that at first it aroused no sus-
picion. Sometimes it was small,
sometimes large, now rampant, now
couchant, and often the horns were
ridiculously long in comparison with
the rest of the Gnimal. But it was
not a case of bad drawing. The only
things hat mattered were the size
and the direction in which it faced.
The French officers discovered the
secret of this system of signals.
A little COW signifed that the road
was only weakly defended a moder-
ate-sized cow meant that the allied
troops were in the neighborhood a
large COW was a warning that there
were earthworks or trenches near by
The direction in which the cows
head pointed indicated where the
danger lay. If it pointed into the
air, that meant that the Germans
had better r]econnoiter the ground by
aeroplane before advancing.

J. B. Anderson, while attending services Sunday morning in Christ Episcopal church, was stricken with appoplexy, which has left him in very critical condition. His right arm, and almost his entire right side, seems to be paralyzed, and since being stricken he has not re- gained consciousness.
 MT. Anderson complained of a se- were headache Sunday, and at one time had concluded not to attend services. After reaching the church he stated he was suffering from the most terrific headache he had ever endured. Soon after that he was stricken. He arose from his seat, but was apparently unable to make known his condition. N. R. Oneal and R. C. Roberts. sitting close by, went 10 his assistance and kept him from falling. He was taken to his home and medical assistance at once summoned.
 Will Smith of Heavener. son of Mrs Anderson, arrived Sunday aft ernoon to be with his mother dur ing this trying ordeal, and Mrs Burt Todd daughter of Mr and Mrs. Anderson, arrived Monday after noon from J0nesborO.
