young man the opportunity of
his life to own and operate q farm
at time when prospects are ro-

clude possibility of failure:
Young man go to farming" is
the advice of the Federal Land Bank
In its newest effort to promote mod
ern agriculture and improve rural
conditions: Among the county
agents OF Mississippi a campaign to
encourge farm buying by young men
has been started through the efforts
of Prof. f. r. Lloyd of the A, & NJ.
College at Starkville,
This movement was indorsed on
Monday by J. T. Savage. a director
OF the local land bank. He said it
was evident that young men were
not returning to the farm because
they were hindered by lack of money.
The movement is hoped to appeal
to this class.
Mr.. Savage sent the following let
ter to Prof. Lloyd:
We beg to advise we realize in
your Buy Farm movement in
apgusated by the college an advanced
sAep insencouraging and promoting
q desire thoroughly n accord wiA ;
ahe purposes OF the Federal Farm
Loan act; this act has forsits pur-
poses samongst other features the
of giving the young men
q chance to become owners Of farms
money for that purpose;
additionally for the purpose Of buy
ing stock, implements. ETC.. that are
necessary for the development Of the
farm; in extending the payments
over long number of years, il makes
it easy for the small farmer taking
only q small amount OF revenue to
meet the annual payments; this
feature making the proposition at
tractive and supplying long felt
want; furthermore the interest rate
being 80 low makes it additionally
inviting as a business proposition.
We thoroughly agree that the tenant
system of farming that has been in
vogue in this federal district is neith-
or conducive to the development Of
the different states nor to the COM
fort and success Of the farmers. We
shall be glad to have you call on us
at any time in support Of this move
ment and would like you to impress
upon the county demonstration
agents our sincere wish to be OF as
sistance; we shall furnish any liter
ature necessary in explaining our
position in this matter"
The following example of how the
land bank helps young men to be-
come independent was given Mr..
Savage:
Suppose a young man wants to
buy a hundred acre farm for 81 600.
The land bank loans him $500 at 5
cent. with annual payments extend

The superiority claimed for the

ABOUT STORING COAL

BOISE, Ida, Nov. 6.-State Fuel
Administrator c G. Anderson, thru
the press and by letters to the coal
dealers thruout the state is endeav-
oring to organize "stOre your win
ter coal now" campaign thruout
southern and southeastern Idaho.
Early in the year the campaign
for storing winter coal was. inaugu-
rated by the former fuel administra-
tor and was attended by a great
deal of success. Dealers generally
reported that sales of coal for stor-
age purposes for domestic use were
larger during the months of April,
May and June than ever before in
Idaho. However, it has recently de-
veloped that the receipts of coal in
the state to the local dealers have
been SO great that unless more coal
is bought during the present month,
orders with coal operators at the
present held, will have to be can
celled, as the local dealers feel that
they cannot afford to hold any
greater amount than at present in
storage.
The campaign with the sugar fac
tories has now commenced and will
be in full swing by the first of De-
cember. After that time and for the
succeeding sixty days, from present
indications the coal equipment as
signed to Idaho under ordinary cir
cumstances will be largely kept oc-
cupied by shipments of coal to the
sugar factories and other Industrial
organizations, and dealers them
selves will have difficulty in securing
shipmentsA During the present
month, however, it will be possible
to receive large amount of coal
from the mines.
Dealers generally who pay atten-
tion to the condition of the domesti,
coal business state that altho a large
of coal was stored for domes-
tic use in the early spring at the pre-
sent time this has been used to such
an extent that practically every do
mestic consumer in the state can
take and store sufficient coal for
use until spring opens.

came out on top.
About the time the American big

Americans Immediately began cal

Then the battle of the big guns be-

several days.
Suddenly, one afternoon, the Ger

Great Daring

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
ON THE SEDAN FRONT, Nov. g.
The crossing of the River Meuse and
the capture Of the town Dun by the
Americans, when its full details are
known, will rank as one of the most
gallant feats of the'entire operations
northwest of Verdun. The troops
who accomplished it will be entitled
to rank of heroes for their work in
military crossing the stream was a
strategic move Of unusual daring.
The crossing involved the forcing
of a way over the 160-foot river, a
half mile wide stretch Of mud and a
sixty-foot canal in the face of q
frightful enemy fire. It also involved
swimming by those who knew how
and the pulling Of others over with
ropes. Graphing irons were used
to scale the sheer walls Of the canal,
along which machine gunners had
been posted, under the fire of scores
of batteries from the hills adjoining.
