WASHINGTON, D. c., April 49,
German wounded are pouring back in
to hospitals behind the lines, accord
ing to a state department message to-
day.
Medical supplies in Germany and
Belgium are exceedingly short, and
the suffering of the wounded is &C

delivery Of fruit may mean total loss to
the producer from either midday heat or
night frost on cars delayed on sidings.
When told that one fruit county would be
expected to take $G,740, 900, the local
chairman answered:
'That is tidy little sum for us, con-
sidering We have had bad year and don't
know whether we are going to get cars
to handle what We have raised. But g.
ahead, we'll take it all right. Put us
down as district for the total, and we'll
take care of it afterward, for we haven't
time to go out and solicit subscriptions
until We have our fruit saved, but we'll
underwrite it."
No haggle over a cost plus contract in
that response, was theref

and then give four hours to loan work.
Farmer Always Close Buyer.
The farmer as a bond buyer, like all
good bond buyers, buys very close. Mar
gins to the fraction of cent count in
bond transactions. For instance, on the
farm bonds launched in June at 10l and
selling by August at LOG, somebody made
S per cent. in three months, which is
equivalent to 90 per cent. in a year.
On the second and third loans the farm
ers put up slight protest on one score.
In the fervor of patriotism people sub
scribed for bonds. They paid the bank
their first instalment, then sold at dis
count of or 5 per cent. Did the local
bank resell that bond at par or the dis
COUNT the farmers ask.
This time as formerly the local farm
banks are loaning money to buy bonds,
but they are aiming at uniform proceed
ing. For the first three months of the
loan on the bonds the banks will charge
exactly the interest rate of the payment
on the first coupon, so the bond will really
have cost the borrower no interest for
three months; but for the remaining

only during the summer months and look
for their big returns beginning September
and October; and against the first three
months of good returns the feed bill must
be hquidated.
The farmers flush money period may be
set down as from late autumn to spring.
These factors of the farmers cycle were
not considered in the earlier loans, but the
present loan has been timed for the end
of the farmers credit year; and farm sub
seriptions are setting pace for the farm
er's city critics.
Another factor should be considered.
Farmers were not bond investors up to
the time of this war. Big bond houses
might flood city mails with financial prop
uganda. They never sent a bond sales
man out to rural districts. 1t took the
first two loans to get the farmers into the
habit Of thinking bonds.
Divided BY School Districts.
In the Fourth Loan Farm Bureau agents
have been utilized to form farmers loan
committees, and the farm loan districts
have been pretty well divided as to school
districts. Also the present loan will take
as first payment the coupon payment on
one of the farmer loans, but as far as
returns are in on the Fourth Loan more
farmers are paying cash down than in
stalments.
The story is told of one loan worker
sent to bleak district in the Adirondacks,
a section stronger in scenery and rocks
than crops The loan worker went to the
local bank manager.
I'VE are going to assign such and such
a quota to you," he said.
"Yes," answered the local bank mana
ger, "and where do You see that amount
of loose coin lying around among these
rocksf Just like you city fellows! You
have a play farm up in these hills and
you think because you with Wall Street
money can buy bonds that these farmers
who barely clear a naked living can buy
bonds on the same scale as Wall Street"
At the same time the local banker ac-
cepted the quota assigned to him, and it
was subscribed by the Wednesday follow
ing the opening of the drive. The quota
was not large, but the district typifed
sub-average, probably the very worst type
of farm in the Eastern States, where city
people have given false value to rock
crops and boarders and wages.
In yet another section more hoted for
grains and hay, the assignment was
$48l, 900. BY Tuesday they had cleaned
up s3O5yOOG
The loan came at a very bad time for
the fruit district. Farmers were at their
wits end for fruit pickers and were pay
ing Klondike wages and working not eight
hours a day but close on twenty-four.
Also they were having trouble getting cars
promptly for fruit shipments, and slow

Of a masquerade and many Of the cos.

tunes of Mrs G. II. Willard and Mrs. ..

great deal of amusement was caused by
the number ot colorcd gentlemen pres

masking occurred.
The spectacle Of the worthy throng

success financially. the proceeds going
