proposed for Kansas, the land pur-
chaser will doubtless be required to
make 10 per cent payment on the
purchase of the land. He may also
teams. farming implements and house
hold furniture.
Loans would be made for a ten
year period. The purchaser might
secure a so per cAR loan from an
established farm loan company, re-
firing this loan at the end of a ten
year term. The state loan, of an addi-
tional 40 per cent would also run ten
years. At the time the'first loan is
retired, the independent loan agency
would cheerfully take over the state
loan, or the state loan might be ex-
tended and retired at the rate of 10
per cent each year-or per cent of
the purchase price of the land, less
interest, taxes and improvements.
Interest at Per Cent.
State interest rates for farm loans
may be fixed at per cent under adj
vice of some of the shrewdest farm
loan men in Kansas. Debenture
bonds would then be issued by the
state in lieu of the mortgages. These
bonds would probably bear per cent
and may be exempted from taxation.
The 1 per cent margin between the
interest rate paid by the farm pur-
chaser and that received by the bond
holder would, in the judgment of
loan men, meet the expenses of the
state in handling the loan work.
Barring constitutional troubles. the
state might be able to put its farm
tenantry reform in operation in a few
months. 1t is believed that with an
appropriation of 100000 a revolving
fund could be established which would
be sufficient to start the work in this
state. AS fast as loans are made, the
bonds could be floated. If a ready
market was provided for these securi-.
ties, the state would be able to rapidly
extend it's operations to handle hun
dreds of thousands of dollars worth
of real estate investments.
Governor Aliens plan is to aid the
| man without funds or sufficient finan-
cial backing to become a land owner
under existing conditions. Conserva-
| tive farm loan companies seldom loan
| beyond the SO per cent limit. They
| might still make these loans. it is
| urged, and an incentive to seek these
loans might be established in view of
| the action of the state in accepting a
second mortgage for 40 per cent of the
land value.
1t is the plan of Governor Allen
and his friends. according to reports
in state house circles, to push the farm
| tenantry plan this week. The con-
stitutional phases of the question are
| already being studied by a number of
| lawyers. AS soon as administration
| supporters are certain The present pro-
gram may be carried out, the farm
| tenantry bill will go to the legislature
and will be pushed to an early con-
sideration

AGGIES SHOWING UP GOOD
In NJ. v. Conference They Are Going
To Run Missouri Hard.

Manhattan. Kan, Feb. 10.-The
Missouri valley basketball race appar-
emily has settled itself into duel be-
tween the Kansas Aggies and the Mis-
souri, Tigers. The odds favor the Mis-
souri, team, 1918 champions, but the
ease with which the Aggie five
trimmed the Kansas Jayhawkers has
produced many hackers for the Clev-
enger team.
The newly formed Purple five will
be tested this week, when Clevenger
takes his team into Iowa for series
of three games. Ames will be played
in Ames Tuesday night and Drake will
be the opponent in a two-game series
in Des Moines Wednesday and Thurs
day. If the two Iowa teams fail to
stop the Aggies. the C1evenger men
look for easy sailing until they enter
Columbia to play the Tigers in the last
two games of the season.
Nebraska probably will be the chief
enemy of the Aggies between now and
that eventful Tiger series. But the
Cornhuskers invade Manhattan for the
only two games played by the teams
this year. and the advantage of the
large Nichols gymnasium floor will be
with the Purple. The opposite is true
of Missouri. as the Miller five must
play the Huskers on the small Lincoln
court, which always has been a prob
lem for visiting teams.

DRESS WARM
AND KEEP
FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed, thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work.
they become weak and sluggish and
fail to eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulating
the joints and muscles causing stiff
ness. soreness and pain called rheu-
matism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys
to normal action, thus Kidding the
blood of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon, Juice. combined with Iithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheuma tism. Here you have a pleas
ant. effervescent lithia-water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is ben
eficia1 to your kidneys as we'll. Nv.

pr opriation of $1,000 is to be asked.
The money will be used as a revolv-
ing fund.
Loans up to and including 80 per
cent of the value of the farm land will
ing drafted. No effort will be made
to compete with private farm loan
agencies which ordinarily loan up to
so per cent of the value of the land
These loans may be secured by land
purchasers from private sources. The
bill which is expected to go before the
legislature as an administration meas
ure, tho, will provide that the state of
Kansas will take a second lien on the
land for 40 per cent of the value of
the soil. Debenture bonds will then
be floated to provide funds for addi-
tional loans. The bonds will probably
bear 5 per cent and would be retired
at the end of ten years.
Fear Little Opposition.
Lawyers and men versatile in the
being consulted today concerning the
various phases of the new system of
state aid to farmers which will be
worked out in Kansas. AS soon as adj
ministration leaders are positive the
proposed measure will meet constitu-
tionaI tests, the bill will go to the
house and senate. Since a statutory
provision is sought rather than a con-
stitutional amendment, it is believed
the measure will pass both houses
without serious opposition.
Under the land tenantry reform as
