RURAL CREDITS LAW is
GIVEN IN A NUTSHELL

The rural credits law in brief
provides
Cd That You may borrow
one-half the value of your land.
(2l That you may have from
five to forty years to pay back
the money, paying 1t back as
fast as you please after five
years.
90 That the interest rate
can't possibly exceed 6 per cent
and will almost certainly be
less.
"a That each borrower buys
50 share in the National Farm
Loan association for each 500
he bOrrOws, selling this back
again when he pays up.
t5) That all other liability Is
limited TO 5 per cent of the
amount man borFows, there
being no truth In the statement
that he must assume general
joint liability with other borrow
ers.-The Progressive Farmer.

OYSTER SHELL IS VALUABLE
II Is Not Fed to Poultry for Purpose
Of Supplying Grit, but for Pro-
ducing Egg Shells.

Oyster shell Is fed TO chickens for
the production of egg shells and not
for grit as som, persons think. ac-
cording to II. NJ. Sherwood. acting
head Of the department Of poultry
huShandry In the Kansas state a=ri-
cultural college.
Approximately so per cent OF the
oyster shell fed laying hens is con-
verified into egg shell, which has n
chemical composition almost Identical
with that Of the original shell. Clam
shells and lime, although Of pructical-
Iy the same composition. are not as
appetizing 10 the chickens and so are
not IA valuable for the fowls as the
oyster shell.

RICHARD REFEREE
OF SIX-DAY GRIND

New York, Nov. 27-Tex Rickard
was chosen last night as referee for
the six-day bike race, which starts in
Madison Square Garden next Sunday
night The selection was made
unanimous by all the riders and Pro-
moter William H. Wellman.
Richard has a reputation for fair
dealing, and his decisions on any
questions arising during the progress
of the race will be final.
Oscar Egg, winner of the 1916
race, and Paul Suter, the European
motor pace champion, arrived from
France yesterday. They will COM
pete in next weeks grind, Egg being
teamed with Frank Kramer and
Suter having Bobby Walthour as a
partner. Last year Egg, practically
unaided, stole the lap that gave his
team the victory.
Changes was made in the personnel
of two teams last night Alfred
Coullet will ride with Jake Magin,
instead of with Fred Hill, while the
latter will have Willis Hanley as a
riding mate. Magin and Hanley were
originally paired. The new arrange
ment strengthens both teams.
The riders and Promoter Wellman
will meet today at the Newark Vel
drome to reach an understanding or
the new scoring system to prevail in
the daily hour sprint in the after
noon and two-hour sprint at night.

CORNELL COACH Is
MORE SANGUINF,

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 27-The Cornell
football team has improved consid-
erably in the past ten days and
should make a better showing against
Pennsylvania than the comparative
scores and records this season tndi-
cate, was the opinion expressed by
DR.. AL Sharpe, the head coach.
The players have completed their
hard training, SO signal drills in the
baseball cage and a few short work
outs out Of doors are on the pro-
gram for the first three days Of the
week. A slippery gridiron and cold
weather have put stop to scrim-
maging, but the squad will be sent
out doors for punting practice and
passing.
According to DIR. Sharpe, the team
has improved a lot physically, and
with the exception Of Ackernecht
Reuther and Van Horn should be
in fine condition when it meets
Penn.

South fNorwa.Ik, Nov. 27.-Battling
Kunz of South Norwalk, the Connect
icut lightweight champion, outpointed
Knockout Palitz Of New London, in
six Of a ten-round bout here last
night. The weights of the principals
were: Kunz 1879 and Paitz 143.
The Battling one was on top of his
opponent most of the time, but the
New Londoner's experience enabled
him to get in number of good heal
thy blows to the body. a.
Kunz started after his opponent
Immediately after the bell rang in the
first round. Palitz, however, stood
with him and managed to get an even
break. The second round was Kunz's
by a wide margin. The state cham
pion hoked and jabbed his, opponent
with little trouble. The third round
also went to Kunz.
In the fourth PalitZ came back
strong and with right hook that
landed squarely on Kunz's jaw man
aged to start a, brief rally that puz-
zled the state champion. The fifth
was even, but the next chapter saw
Paitz again fighting to advantage.
Kunz went after Palitz in earnest
in the seventh. He jabbed him into
his corner where he swung over a
right that opened an ugly cut over
Palitz's left eye. This injury both
cred the New London man as he lost
the remaining three rounds.
