Very large feet may be considered
ugly but that Is no reason why one
should draw the inference that the
smaller they can be made the more
beautiful they are.
Feminine beauty is a matter OF
proportion. A foot, like q waist, may
be ugly because 1t is too small. quite
as we'll as because 1t is too large.
The beauty Of a foot lies In its
arched structure. In the shortening
and equal direction Of the toes. among
which the great toe is remarkably
long. The middle part of<the foot
should not touch the ground.
Be sure that your shoes r a pro-
per At and then you won't need to
soak the feet often in hot water. Wash
them as you do the rest Of your body
and then massage them OF night with
a little cold cream If they ache.
Above all else walk on the balls OF
your feet and dance with your heels

Sixteen AuxiMaries.

According to Miss Susan I. Maloney,,
chairman Of the extension committee,
there are sixteen auxiliaries to the
Grand Forks chapter, working in the
county. These + in addition to a
number Of circles that are sewing In
the city and Miss Maloney says they
are all doing most effective work: Ev-
erywhere that she and her committee
members go to direct or organize the
work, they are met in the most en-
thusiastic fashion, and everywhere
through the county there is evident q
strong inclination to do the utmost
for the Red Cross and all patriotic ac-
tivtties.
Miss Maloney reports that more
than fifty dozen knitting needles have
been sold to Red Cross workers dur
Ing the last few weeks. which would
indicate that through the county dis
tricts there's are a good many women
doing their "bit" in this most neces-
sary direction.
Miss Maloney and her co-workerS
will be glad to organize new societies
at any point in the county, or to at
tend meetings of those already or.
ganized, provided notification is Civ

College Park, Md, Jan. 1.-THE
Agricultural Extension Service. through
IT'S orchard specialist, S. B. Shaw, is
carrying on an extended series OF
orchard demonstrations in pruning
and spraying in cooperation with
county demonstration agents. The
| arousing of interest in the possibilities
for profit in. home and commercial
orchards during the year past has been
an interesting and profitable feature
Of extension work. In this connection
| a most interesting report Of what can
be done under average conditions is
reported by County Agent John AcGill.
Jr., of Allegany. Mr.. McGill says,
definite work was carried on this
year with six orchards. One Of these,
| an orchard Of 500 peach trees and 22O
apple trees, on limestone soil. was
! selected as a permanent demonstN-
| ton, comparatively with Mr.. 8. B.
Shaw, of the State College of Agricul-
| ture This orchard had been somewhat
| neglected. A large number OF the
| peach trees had been killed by borerers
and many others seriously injured by
them. Both peach and apple trees
were in much need of pruning. Up to
1916 the apples had not borne. In
1912 the only year the peaches had
borne, they set full crop, yet out OF
| 200 bushels of late peaches only four
| bushels valued at 81 were harvested.
Brown rot took practically all Of them,

size, as no thinning was done. The

no results from it. This year he agreed
to follow our instructions, keeping cost
and receipt records, which were as fol

FARM LOAN BANKS

The announcement of the To-
cation of the IL banks which will
have charge of the work of ex-
tending loans to Farmers under
the Rural Credit Act, marks the
longest step in preliminary or
ganization to be taken by the
board prior to the beginning of
pending operations under the
new rural credits system.
Actual lending is to begin, the
board says, in time to give the
American farmer funds to fin
ance his spring planting. The
board now must take advantage
of the provision of law permit
ing it to issue bonds to raise
money to give the farmers. In
accordance with this provision,
from 500, 900, 900 to S150. 600, 600
in farm loan bonds shortly will
be issued.
The funds thus raised will be
lent to the farmers at rates yet
to be fixed, but thought to be in
the neighborhood of 5 per cent
annum. The bonds will yield a
fraction over what is charged
the farmers, in order to enable
the farm loan banks to pay or
ganization and operation ex-
penses.
The salient features of the
new rural credits system are:
Loans to farmers at low rates
of interest, in amounts from S10O
to $4,000.
Extended periods, up to DO
years, in which the farmer may
repay his loan.
Ironclad security for the Gov
eminent and the farm loan banks
in that loans, will be made only
up to so per cent of the value of
the farms upon which money is
lent.
No money can be borrowed for
speculative purposes-only for
raising mortgages, purchasing
farming machinery and opera
ton and maintenance of farms.
To borrow, farmers must in
vest 5 per cent of the amount
desired in National Farm Loan
Association stock, this to be re-
funded upon retirement of the
loan.
