LOANS TO FARMERS

President Wilson has placed at the
disposal of the Treasury and Agri-
cultural Departments $5,000,OOO to en-
able them to furnish aid to wheat
growers in certain sections of the
West who have lost two successive
crops by winter killing and drought.
The Federal land banks will act as
financial agents of the Government to
make and collect the loans.
This fund is not intended to be lent
to farmers who have banking collat-
eral; the action of the War Finance
Corporation in urging the banks to
finance such farmers and it's promise
to support them in such financing, it
is believed, will amply provide for
them.
Loans from this fund will be made
to individuals who have not banking
collateral, and only where it is neces-
sary to enable a farmer to continue
to grow food products. The money
will be advanced upon the crop Of
wheat or substitute grains planted on
the land, and no loan will be in ex-
cess of So per acre and no applicant
financed beyond 100 acres.
The use of the fund will be under
the joint control of the Treasury and
Department Of Agriculture; as the
machinery for the work is already in
existence, no substantial delay is eX-
pected.
The cooperation of local banks and
local associations and individuals is
looked for.

THE GERMAN BEATITUDES

1t is not known whether the follow
ing creed was composed by German
or by foreign student of Germanism.
1t has the ring Of genuineness; it is
not far-fetched or overdrawn. The
military masters Of Germany have
acted upon this creed, and the Ger
man Army, their disciples, has lived
up to it.
aye have heard how in olden times
it was said, Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth; but
I say unto you, Blessed are the vail
ant, for they shall make the earth
their throne And We have heard
men say, BLESSED are the poor in
spirit; but say unto you, BLESSED
are the great in soul and free in spir-
it, for they shall enter into Valhalla.'
And we have heard men say, BLESSED
are the peacemakers'; but ! say unto
you, BLESSED are the war makers, for
they shall be called, if not the children
of Jehovah, the children of Odin, who
is greater than jehovah"

COTTAGE CHEESE DAYS AT
MARK FITS

Through the efforts of home demon
stration agents, special cottage cheese
days have been established at curb
markets in several cities in Virginia.
The country women make up special
lots of cottage cheese for these days
and the city women know that they
will be able to buy a freshly made
product at that time. In Fayette-
vile, Ark, grocer advertises regu-
lar market day as Cottage Cheese
Day. Farm women who have receiv-
ed instruction from the home demon
stration agent provide him with a
good product for his customers.

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR POULTRY
RATSFRS

Nine per cent fewer eggs were in
hand on July I, 1918, as compared to
July 1, 1917, in the 462 cold-storage
plants which recently made reports to
the Bureau of Markets. The move
ment of eggs from storage for con-
sumption purposes began nearly a
month earlier this year than usual.
This condition, according to poultry
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, should be a
special incentive to every poultry pro-
Queer to work faithfully for good pro-
duction in the early winter.

REGIONAL DIRECTOR is RE-
FUSED BY COMMISSION.

The Georgia railroad commission
has declined to grant the petition OF
all railroads in Georgia under federal
control for an amendment to the
freight rule SO as to close freight de-
pots at 1 o'clock Saturdays and at

and transportation conditions at this
time to decline to accede to your re-
quest"
Vigorous protest was registered at
the hearing by business interests all
over Georgia, patrons of the railroads

ing would greatly inconvenience

HOTEL MEN OF MACON WILL
TEST The ANTI-TIPPING LAW
Proprietors Do Not Believe the Meas
ure Constitutional, They Say.
Signs Will Be Displayed.

MACON, Ga.-Macon hotel keep
e-9 are preparing to test the state
anti-tipping law, which recently went
into effect. They do not believe it
Is constitutional.
The hotel men fear that if the law
IS strictly enforced here it will be
difficult to keep walters. In an At
lanta eating place every waiter walk
ed out when anti-tipping signs were
displayed.
Frank Taylor, head of the hotel
and restaurant men of Macon, Tues
day declared that the eating places
in Macon would display signs as soon
as he could get them from Atlanta.
Cafes and dining rooms are required
by the law to post them. These signs
state that it is against the law to tip
walters.
That it will be difficult to enforce
the law is the general opinion. There
are some patrons of eating places,
garages, hotels, dining cars, Pullman
cars, barber shops and other places
where tips are given who will con-
tinue to give them in spite of law in
order to get service. And although it
is against the law to accept tips as
we'll they will continue to be accept
ed when the eyes of the law are not
watching, it is said.

NO MUSTANG NOW FOR The
PROSPEROUS AND PROUD INDIAN
Navajo Red Men, Rolling in Wealth,
Have Become a Convert to the
Gasoline Wagon.

Navajo Indians are riding in mo-
tor cars today, according to a west
ern dealer. Prosperity has come to
the redskin, and he has quickly adopt
ed the habits of his paleface brother.
Store clothes, modish footwear,
starched collar and usually a tie of
a flaming red are among the accou-
trements the Navajo has suffered his
wealth to bring him. He has even
shed the picturesque and wide
brimmed sombrero for the more
fashionable derby and straw. But
what is more remarkable is his almost
childish delight in the automobile.
MANY 1.-THE young Indian,
whether he has ever crossed the
threshold of Carlisle or not, now
burns the wind in motor car like
any young 'paleface," says the deal
er from the west. "And, in the stole,
stubborn manner characteristic of
his nature he absolutely refuses to
give up his money for anything but
the best. Secondhand cars, or cars
of doubtful quality, are passed up
by these war-made plutocrats of the
Spanish Trails.
War has doomed things out on the
old Santa Fe trail, and the $4,000
Navajos are rolling in wealth. They
are not given rations by the govern
ment-they have rations to sell at
war prices. They not only have a
world monopoly on their famous
blankets, but they have thousands of
cattle, sheep, ponies and goats roam
ing over the hills"

Both Appetizing and Nourish-

cipes are used, it is said.
An excellent cake can be made
from recipe using a cup of butter,
oleomargarine or other fat, 2 cups of
corn syrup, 2 eggs. cups of -four,
l u tablespoons of baking powder,
IA teaspoons of salt and 1 cup of
milk. One-fourth cup of raisins add
ed to the batter is said to give more
flavor and sweetness to the cake.
Sugarless candy can be made by
using three-fourths of cup of honey
for every cup of sugar in the recipe.
Syrups, including corn, cane and
maple syrup, and honey may be used
as sweeteners in cakes, rolls, gems,
coffee cake and candy.
