war Credits Board Approves Ad-
xances Of Nearly $50, OOO, OOO.

v0buOG0 u A~>
A statement prepared by the war
credits board includes the following
explanation of its functions and activ-
tiles:
"When a concern that has a con-
tract with the war department for
supplies has shown the board that it
needs financial assistance and has
been able to comply with the act by
giving adequate security, the board
has approved an advance payment and
the money has been received; in many
instances where the Ease was urgent
the money has been paid over to the
contractor the same day the applica-
ton has been filed. However, the
board does not act in any sense as a
bank. 1t is only when the manufac-
turer has reached a point where tinan-
cial assistance is needed, in addition
to his banking lines, that application
for advance payment for his goods
is considered favorably by the board
Between the time Of its creation in
November and January "a the board
approved advances to contractors to.
falling $145,551,000.

STATE HAIL BOARD
READY FOR 1918 WORK
Closes up 1917 Business with
Excellent Showing. All
Losses Paid.

The state board of hail insurance
has completed all of it's preliminary
work for the beginning of business
in 1918. Last year the board carried
hail insurance for about $500 farm
ers, the amount of acreage insured in
grain being 265,574 acres, and in hay
2,790 acres. The board paid in losses
a total of $4,000 and it wound up
the seasons business with a balance
on hand of approximately 4 10000.
The expenses of operation were
$4,70O, including all supplies and
office equipment.
Judging from the correspondence
which has come to the board since
the first Of the year the number Of
those taking hail insurance through
the state this year will reach more
than 5000.
At a meeting of the board hello
February 10 all the members were
present, these including Chairman
Bowman, Secretary Greenfield, State
Auditor Poland, and Messrs. Ander.
son of Conrad and Slater Of Canyon
Creek. There is very little unfinished
business from last year. Two cases
in which the insured did not notify
the board of hail losses until several
weeks after the losses had occurred
were considered by the board, and the
question as to what action the board
could take legally was left to the de.
cision of Attorney General Ford
Chairman Bowman reported that all
losses ave the two cases referred t.
Mr.. Ford had been paid, at the rate Of
IS an acre for hay and $12 an acre
for grain.
One important action taken by the
board was the determination to in
sure alfalfa grown for seed and clover
grown for the same purposes. Alst
beans and peas at the rate provided
for wheat, oats, and other grain
namely SIP an acre.

The drive of the knights of Columbus in Santa Fe county
for their 5000 allotment of the great fund which is tobe raised
by the order in the United States in the next three weeks for
work among the soldiers in the environments and overseas
started off with a rush at the smoker and supper in the De
Vargas hotel when $3.50 in definite sums was subscribed by
something over eighty members and guests, and several men
of large means pledged themselves in writing to give "any
amount necessary to put it over the top" Some of these were
non-Catholics.
More important even than this splendid generosity in the
opinion of Mayor Edward p. Davies Of Santa Fe, state deputy
of the order, was the remarkable spirit of cooperation and en-
enlargement which was voiced repeatedly in the expressions
of prominent officials Protestant clergymen and business
men Of the city and state who expressed in highest terms their
appreciation of the work of the Knights of Columbus, and their
willingness to help in any way in the drive which is being in
