Winifred Black Writes on Falling in Love

into the water to save nice little
girls IN white with their hair dow
thar LACKS and standing up - the
villain with my bare fists and he
with a gun in one hand, a dagger
in the other and two or three non
descript weapons not even con-
cealed about his person.
ANY actor who thinks the girls
are in love with him, and not with
the part he plays, ought to be cast
for the villain once in a while.
Then he'd see how many mash
notes he'd get!
"If l had a daughter who
wouldn't fall in love with the hero
of a play or think she was falling
in love with him, I'd set her down,
not as a sensible young person,
but as a girl with no imagination
and no entimen+."

When she went to school she
carried a rose for teacher, the
prettiest rose she could find in all
the garden-white, with two or
three stray petals in it. She called
it the Rainbow rose.
When she comes home tonight
] shall know by the way she opens
the door whether teacher wore the
rose today or put it in a glass Of
water on the desk and never look
ed at it again.
In love with teacher! Dear me!
Don't you remember the time
when you were?
The first teacher l ever remem-
ber was chubby and blue-eyed. l
thought she looked exactly like
cherub, but she laughed at me one
day because some one teased me
for having red hair. Then
fell out of love with her as quickly
as | fell in, but while it lasted,

HE'S in love with teacher.
~ I've heard all about it. Day
~ before yesterday she said
teacher was sweet, so kind and
patient and gentle. She said that
teacher wore the loveliest yellow
waist with roses in it. Her hair!
Why, it was like satin!
Yesterday she told me that
teacher was mysterious. She
laughed and you didn't know what
she was laughing at, and some
times she was a little cross, but
she didn't mean it, really. And her
eyes! Why, they were just as
bright as stars.
This morning she said that she
wanted a new pair of shoes. On,
yes, the old ones were all right,
but teacher didn't like brown
shoes. She thought black ones
Nere smarter and neater.

Captain Schneider was found

SETTING A VOLCANO
TO WORK

American humorists have fire.
quently feveled in the idea Of
attaching power plants to vol
cano, and making the disturber
of the earth's peace work for
man, instead of destroying him
and his work. But the idea has
been taken from the lists Of the
subjects on which the wits may
sharpen themselves, and has be-
come an actual fact. The Flee
trical World brings to hand some
remarkable facts about the har-
Messing of volcano.
The place of this modern Won
der is at Larderello, in Central
Tuscany, Italy. Professor Luigi
Luiggi, of the University of
Rome, has made a report on the
matter. 1t seems that numerous
cracks in the ground in this re-
gion permit the escape of super
heated volcanic steam. These
powerful jets have been har-
messed successfully to an cleo
trio powerhouse. Already three
observation-disclosures units
are in operation. One has been
furnishing power since January,
1916. The second began work
last April. The third has just
been started. This cheap power
has been a great boon to the in
dustries of Tuscany, crippled as
they were by the scarcity and
high price Of coal due to the
war.
This successful harnessing Of
volcanic heat to an electric pow
er house can be increased to hun
dreds Of thousands Of horsepow-
er, since steam is available for
many square miles around Lar
derelle.
The scenery in our own geyser
country may yet be set to work
as it has been at Niagara Falls.
There are many things yet to
be done in the way of cheaper
power.-Minneapolis Journal.

SUICIDE At SANDSTONE
Mrs. c. G. Dykmaa, Dcspondent,
Ends Life by Jumping
off Bridge.

Mrs. c. G. Dykman Of Sand
stone. committed suicide last
Thursday, Jan. II, by jumping
off the high railroad bridge, over
Kettle River. The deed was COM
mitted about $40 at dusk, but
the report from the fall Of the
body was heard by ice cutters
near by. They immediately hur-
ried to the scene. but picked up
only the remains as life was ex-
|tinct. the body being badly
crushed from falling on the
heavy layer Of ice.
Dependency over the death Of
her husband which occurred only
three months ago is thought by
friends to be the cause Of her
act.
Mrs. Dykman was daughter
|of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Akin, old
residents Of Sandstone She

The remains were shipped to

How the New Federal Farm Loan
system Works

The United States is divided
into twelve districts and in each
district is one federal land bank.
1t does not make loans. Farmers
who wish to borrow on mortgage,
form or join a national farm loan
association or local" which is a
member of the land bank. The
farmer does all his business with
his local. When it makes a loan,
the local gets the cash from the
land bank, by giving it the bor-
rower's note and mortgage in
dorsed by the local. (The latter
is incorporated under the federal
farm loan act. so its Endorsement
does NOT involve the locals S
members in any joint and several
liability
Against the security of such
mortgage notes the land bank
issues taxfree federal farm loar
bonds, the sale of which furnishes
more money to lend. Therefore
the number of loans that can be
made depends upon the sale OF
bonds. When these bonds sci
rapidly, there viii be plenty OF
money for good loans; otherwise
funds will be scarce and loans
few. The people of each district
should strive to make the bonds

PEOPLES MASS MEETINGS
Called at County Seat Jan. - to
Focus Public Attention Upon
Federal Farm Loan Bonds
and Other Advantages
OF the New System.

A call has been issued for pop
ular mass meetings to be held at
each county seat Saturday, Jan.
q, at 10 a. m. The call was sent
out by American Farm Finance
League through the local and
farm press. The committee on
organization of this league con-
sists Of the heads of present or
prospective national farm loan
associations, and others inter
ested. Each mass meeting is ex-
pected to appoint a county COM
mittee to cooperate with the
league.
The object of these mass meet
ings, to be held the same date
and hour throughout the nation
at 10 a. m. Saturday, Jan. 27-
is to focus public attention upon
the advantages which the new
federal farm loan system offers
to investors as we'll as to Dor
rowers. Thrift savings and other
funds invested in federal farm
loan bonds may be loaned
through the new system, upor
first farm mortgages. Thus the
money will be used to build VI
the rural community and benefit
all local business.
