LOANS TO FARMERS

President Wilson has placed at
the disposal Of the Treasury and
Agricultural Departments $751;
100000 to enable 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 FEEDER
al 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
collateral; the action Of the War
Finance Corporation in urging
the banks to finance such farm
ers and its promise to support
them. in such financing, it is be.
lieved, will amply provide for
them.
Loans from this fund will be
made to individuals who have not
banking collateral, and only
where it is necessary to enable q
farmer to continue to grow food
products. The money will be ad,
vanced upon the crop Of wheat OF

BURIED TODAY

DOUGLAS, June 12.-The funeral of the late Walter Stevens who died at St. Ann Hospital Monday morning after a long illness from tuberculos- is, was held this afternoon at two o'clock from the Odd Fellows Hall and was conducted by Masonic Lodge No 124, of which deceased was a member There was a very large turnout at the funeral, attesting to the popularity of MT. Stevens. He was about 35 years of age. He was born in Canada of English parents and had been employed at Treadwell for nearly a dozen years. Starting as common miner, he soon worked up and, when compelled by sickness to quit work more than a year ago was underground foreman of three mines. His death cast mantle of sadness over the community where he was known as one of Gods noble men.

LANE STUDYING
 CONDITIONS ON
 HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-Sec- Lane and Assistant Secretary of the Interior E. c. Bradley are expect ed here from Honolulu soon. They have been making thorough study at first hand of the land situation in the Territory and devising some means of coping with the difficulties that have arisen, partly as a result of the war
 Of the public lands of Hawaii suitable for cane growing, virtually been, in the hands of the sugar planters on long time leases from the Territory, generally at very low rental A few of these long leases recently have expired, and several more are due to expire shortly. This has given rise to a situation which is said to threaten to reduce the su- gar output of the Islands, regarded as essential for war purposes.
 The new Governor, Charles J. Me Carthy, has already declared him self as heartily in sympathy with the homesteading of the public lands and it is expected that he will advise with Secretary Lane in regard to any revision of the land laws. The Hawaiian legislature can do nothing more than to suggest to Congress, the Organic Act providing that Con- gross shall control the public lands of the Territory.

,. DOUGLAS AND TREADWEIL NEWS NOTES

few of his bunch were quietly looking for few Heinies out on oMan's Land, down around the Foul sector, A piece of shrapnel punched a hole in the tube of his gas mask and the mustard fumes which passed in through that hole are responsible for San Francisco having a peek at one of its most youthful heroes He is now home for a while convalescing and also telling of conditions Over There that the home folks might be made to realize that this country is really at war.
 "The corporal is rather reticent nj telling of his personal achievements but he did manage to say that he felt very tickled when he launched that first shell and heard it scream over No-Man's Land. He was rath- CT provoked not being able to see it land and had to take another mans word that it had landed squarely on its target, German communi- eating trench 4,100 yards distant.
 "'When Heinie returned the fire,' De Narila said, we received our first thrills but at that we were to busy to think what would happen to us if he got our range
 Yes, the boys are cheerful Over There but the people Over Here must wake up. It's no baby s task and our boys need all the sup port this country can give them, continued the young corporal.
 "It happened that his visit to 660 was made on the day the Germans launched their big smash, May 27 and he read with grave concern the news dispatches telling of slight German gains.
 "I wish I was back lover There,"' he remarked seriously. This Red Cross work and Liberty Loan business is alright for those who like it but me for the trench es.
