Federal Aid to Soldier Farmers.
The federal Government hac a1road

~ LIE 1CuC1d1 SOVcluIlC1lU Has dA1Sduy
sin operation a system Of land banks
designed to aid under capitalized far
mers to obtain possession of the land
they till. This aid extends to the
amount Of fifty per cent Of the insura
bic value Of the buildings thereon.
From some other source must come
the other half Of the purchase price
and the other four-fifths Of the value
of the buildings, as well as the total
cost Of equipment and seed.
The federal land bank is not de-
signed primarily as an institution to
make farm owners out of penniless
mem but it has gone about as far in
that direction as the principles Of good
banking will permit.
q. The settlement Of soldiers on farms
scontemplates the financing OF men
without means, but this does not ex-
sclude the federal land bank from a
hand in the work. a plan for admin
istering for the soldier both govern
ment gratuity and farm loans through
these banks, has been set forth by
George 81. Stevenson, president Of the
federal land bank Of Baltimore.
This plan would settle rather the
5subdued than the raw lands, and to
this end each state would make q
list of its farms for sale with descrip-
ton and price. Soldiers desiring farms
would be classified as to the states

Glencoe Hotbed of Disloyalty:

So far, according to adyices from
Glencoe, no clue has been obtained to
the assailants Of DR.. Roper, a Red
Cross worker, who was beaten up by
persons believed to be pro- Huns. Glen
coe appears to be hotbed Of seditions
-honeycombed with pro-Huns. Even,
the anarchistic newspaper formerly
published by the notorious Paul Dehnel
in Minneapolis will be resurrected and
published in Glencoe, town which
has gained reputation equal to if,
not surprising that Of New Ulm..

WHAT MARTIN REALLY SAID


Those children who have money 70
buy candy and other things. and do
not start thrift cards are pro-German."
superintendent Chamberlain. Of the
Clayton schools. insists that the News
man misduoted Earl Martin in an edi-
torial of March second. and feels that
lan injustice is being done the instruct
or. In Difference TO tho request Of the
superintendent we quote Martin ex-
actly.
In the edit 1rial of the second instance
no reference to any words Martin said
was made. The Newsman simply stated
that Martin. unthinkIngly. insulted the
prpils by using the words pro-German
And no matter what the circumstances
Of their use II was Inadvlsable.
The Newman stands corrected in a
quotation he never made but stands
firm IN his allegation that no one but
an unthinking person would deliberate
~ give into the hands of those pupils
who haey thrift cards despiaable wea-
pen of taunt against those children
who cannot afford the cards no matter
what personal sacrifice is made.
And since the high school Instructor
has no clearly illustrated his view OF
pro-Ge manlsm the Newsman is inclin-
ed 10 ask II he himself has started a
thrift card?

JUAN ]. DURAN FOR next
SECRETARY OF STATE

In response to an insistnt demand
rom Union County friends and admir-
ers, and from friends and admirers
thruout the state. County Clerk Juan
j. Duran has decided to seek the demo-
cratic nomination for Secretary of State
:it the convntioni to he held during the
coming summer.
After seven years continuous service
10 the people as County Clerk. Clerk
of the District Court, Probate Clerk
and Recorder of Union County, Mr.. Du-
ran felt that he had earned retirement
10 his ranch; but friends thruout the
state see greater service for him as n
state official and have demanded that
ne stand for the nomination. He has
finally decided TO lay aside his ranch
ambition for the time being and re-
spect the wishes of his friends.
Juan j. Duran was born February IL
1877, at Tascosa. Texas During his
early years he lived with his widowed
mother and brothers and sisters on
small ranch In what is now Beaver
county, Oklahoma, and was practical
~ the head of the family. He came to
Union County In 1902 and married a
Union County girl in the same year
He has no children of his own, but
adopted little girl in infancy. and is
practically father, guardian and the
support of two orphaned nephews who
regard hi mand Mrs. Duran as their
al and all.
For years before the election OF 1911.
Union County had been considered a
republican, cineh. but in the convention
of that year the democrats made the
happy selection of Juan ]. Duran for
county Clerk. II is needless to say that
Mr.. Duran has been lifelong democrat
or that he was given the nomination
IN 1911 unsolicited or unaought. Inn
mediatly after the convention he pro-
ceeded 20 show what a real democrat
could do in the matter of running
away with an election in supposedly
republican county. and was elected by
the largest majority ever polled ia the
county up to that time.
In 1916 he was a delegate from New
Mexico 10 the National Democratic Con-
vention that renominated President
Wilson
After ave years OF efficient service
az county clerk, the demand for his
renomination before the county con-
Nention of 1915 was insistant, and he
was renominated and reelected by a
substantial majority; just as the de-
mand is now for his nomination for
Secretary of State, and II he is given
the nomination his success at the polls
should be and is assured.
Politically and personally. Juai. j..
