RULINGS FOR
SPRING SEED
GRAIN LOAN
Plan of Last Fall to be Fol-
lowed-No Loans
Over $500.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 11.-Regu-
lations governing the making of seed
grain loans by the government to
farmers in drought-stricken areas for
spring wheat planting in 1919 are
given in a joint statement issued by
the treasury department and the de-
partrneQt of agriculture. The regula-
tions in the main are similar to those
that governed loans for fall planting
in drought areas
However, the maximum limit for
loans for spring planting will be $500,
while the limit for fall planting loans
"a $500. The money available Is
that remaining in the presidents So
900, 900 special fund set aside for such
loans. A survey of the situation, the
secretary of agriculture has stated,
indicates that the remainder of the
fund will take care Of the urgent
cases.
The federal land banks Of the dis
tricts embracing the affected areas arc
designated as the financial agents Of
the government in making and COL
lecting the loans. They may designate
local banks or other agencies to rep
resent them in the taking of applica-
tons. forms of which will be supplied
on request. Banks and other local
agencies assisting will be asked to
contribute their services for the good
of their communities.
The question Of making each loan
will rest first with the department of
agriculture, which, through it's vari-
Gus agencies, assisted by farm loan
associations and other local farmers
organizations; will investigate each
application. Loans may be made to
farmers, in areas determined by the
department of agriculture, who have
suffered two successive crop failures
from severe drought or winter kill
ing, and may be made to individu als
found by the department of agricul-
ture to have acreage fit for planting
and who, by reason of such crop fail
ures, have exhausted their
and are without commercial credit.
To obtain a loan the farmer must
have unencumbered real or personal
property sufficient to secure a loan of
$500.
Applicants must agree to use seed
and methods approved by the depart
ment Of agriculture. The primary oh
ject of these loans is mot to stimulate
the planting of an increased acreage
of grain for the drought areas, or
even necessarily to secure the plant
ing of a normal acreage, but rather
to assist in tiding farmers over the
period of stress.

Made Survey OF Salaries
Of Labor Ascertaincd
Facts Regarding Government
EmplOycs,


In recent discussions in congress of
requests for increase of pay for gov
eminent employees. schedules showing
discrepancies between the salaries of
federal and private employees were
presented, and through them the fact
was revealed that the department of
labor had made a comprehensive sur
veY of conditions in the District of
Columbia.
This survey was made through the
investigation and inspection service
of the department., n of the most
important and necessarily least
known divisions of the big labor bur-
eau. Since the establishment of the
service last summer with Ethlebert
Stewart at its head many investiga-
tions have been made, and among
them one of the most interest was>the
salary survey of the District of Column
bia, which was undertaken at the re-
quest Of President Wilson.
The president asked the secretary
of labor to find out whether the scale
of government wages, especially in
certain lines of work, caused the diff
Guilty often experienced by the gov
eminent in competing with private
employers. The secretary authorized
the investigation and inspection serv-
ice to make the survey. With the CO.
operation Of the chief clerks OF all the
departments and the District of
| Columbia commissioners a thorough
and comprehensive comparison of
salaries was made.
The wage survey was limited large
" to mechanics, experts in certain
lines of work, and unskilled laborers
1t was discovered that in some cases
the government wage scale fell be-
low the u%on-union scale. and more
often 1t was below the union scale
AS comparison could not bet made
where government clerks and EN-.
ployes occupying positions requiring

special knowledge or training were
concerned, the increased cost of liv-
ing was considered and advances OF
salaries were recommended. @
One Of the reasons fon the survey
was to compare the salaries paid in
various departments. 1t was found
that for the same lines of work SAL
aries varied widely. Thus some de-
partments were able to obtain experts
and well-trained employees, while
other branches had serious dif1cul-
ties.
A chart was prepared showing
averages for all departments, with
district employees considered separate
~. In computing the cost Of living
the investigation and inspection serv-
ice concerned itself chiefly with food
prices, using the monthly lists and
comparisons of the Bureau Of Labor
Statistics.
An idea Of the divergence OF gov
eminent pay for similar work is to be
obtained from the fact that a carpen-
ter employed by the p%ostofice depart
ment is paid S1,400. while in other
departments he receives $1,000. The
department of commerce and the de-
partment of the interior pay but 5000,
while the treasury goes as low as
$3.50. Electricians receive from $40
TO $1,000. special knowledge or train
ing being required for. the higher
paid men When the survey was
made the food administration paid
$1,000 for one elevator conductor and
$3.50 for two, while others received
$500 and 1920. Among the other de.
partments the scale ranges from ST.
200 to $3.50, +
Through this survey effort to, stand.
ardize salaries will be facilitated. Its
value in determining need Of advance
in compensation is great, for it shows

READING AS A NARCOTIC.

Hearn: The habit or
reading for amusement becomes with
thousands of people exactly the same
kind Of habit as win drinking or
opium smoking: it is like a narcotic
something that helps to pass the time.
something that keeps up a perpetual
condition of dreaming. something that
eventually results in destroying all a
pacity for thought, giving exercise on
ly to the surface parts of the mind
n leaving the deeper springs of
feeling and the higher faculties Of
perception unemployed.
The result Of all this reading near
nothing but a cloudiness in the mind.
That is the direct result. The indi-
rect result is that hat mind has been
kept from developing itself. All de-
velopment necessarily means some
pain. and such reading as / speak Of
has beef employed unconsciously as a
means to avoid that pain. and the
consequence is atrophy.

BIG RICE SALES IN BEAU
 MONT
2500 Bags Blue Rose Taken By Louisiana Firm at 610.25
 Top Market

Beaumont. Texas, Oct. 15.-A big lot of rice changed hands through the Southern Rice Grow CTS association, bnt on account of reports of sales still coming in, no totals weregiven out
 The top was the sale of 2500 bags of Blue Rose at Elton to the Louisiana State Rice Milling company at S10.25. The great bulk of Blue Rose and Louisiana Pearl was sold at $10 Probably the largest sale was a lot of F, 200 bags of Blue Rose, Early Prolific and little Edith by the Louisiana Irrigation and Milling company One lot of Edith at Bay City brought $10. The range of Early Prolific was from $S.50 to $9.S5.
 E. X. Eignus, manager of the Southern Rice Growers associa- ton. stated that the situation was extremely critical, in fact the out look was more discouraging than it was at this time in 1918. Some of the rice fields from Pine Island bayou and China south are sub merged, the shocks being under water. In such cases 1t will be matter of two or three weeks be- fore farmers can get back into the fields.
 Reports from Crowley received by the association late Monday evening stated that rice i'll shock was sprouting in all outside and top bundles, leaving only the core of the shock in good endition. Blue Rose, which has not been cut is undamaged up to the present time.
 While there was more rain Tn September. 1918. than the core spending month this year, there has been more rain for core spending period in October, 1919. The rains in 1918 were less de structive because they were ac- companied by northers which kept therice from sproutlng from reports already received by i the association, there Is danger of

RICE YIELDS TO BE LATEST
 IN YEARS
Crop Estimating Officials Say Production Per Acre Will
 Be High

In spite of damage to the Arkan sas rice crop by the recent heavy rains the yield per acre will be the largest in 10 years. according to James E. Stevenson of the Ar kansas Cooperative Crop Report ing Service, who has just return ed from an inspection in Lonoke county. Mr. Stevenson s estimate and report was compiled with the report made by Charles $. Bouton of the United States Department of Agrculture office for Arkansas.
 Our reports from Lonoke, Ar kansas and Prairie counties, Mr. Stevenson says. show that alr- though the crop has been noticea- bly, dacaged by the rains, the yieldper arre will be the largest in 10 years. This is attributed to the fact that the growers did not try to produce morerice than the plants could properly water. Wa ter was supplied in sufficient quantities as the crop needed 1t and 1t may be that the lesson will be taken to heart with a conse- quent increase in the future in the yield per acre.
 We found the crop to be dam aged in quality and not in quan tity. Rice that has been thor oughly wetted will have a black hue even after it has been cleaned Twenty three threshing reports on early prolific rice have been re ceived so far. The reports show an average yield per- acre of 5S bushels. Lonoke county shows an average yield of 90 per cent with 90 per cent of the crop yet to be harvested. Prairie and Arkansas counties have an average yield of 70 bushels with 50 per cent of the crop harvested. Southern Arkan- sas reports show D per cent har vested, with s per cent threshed. Sixty per cent of the Blue Rose crop has been harvested
 The damage to the crop in the Carlisle district will run between 10 and 9 per cent to shock. In Prairie and Arkansas counties 1t is less than 10 per cent. The dam age to uncut rice still is problem atic as no reports can be obtained at present. '-Arkansas Democrat

A nationwide campaign known
as the Third Red Cross Roll Call
viii open en- Monday, November 3.
and close ~ Armistioe Day, Noyem-
Der IL according to an announce.
ment made by DR.. Livingston
Farand, Chairman Of the Executive
Committee Of the American Red
Cross. This campaign will have
two objects in view. first, the war
enrolment OF members for 1920.
and second, the collection Of a fund
Of SIS, 0OO, 900 to enable the organi-
zation TO complete its obligations
at home and abroad.
This is the only campaign that
win be held this year by the Red
Cross and it is the plan of the or
ganization that the annual Roll Call
will be the only one which will be
put on yearly-in this way the Red
Cross will seek the reaffirmed al
legiance OF the American people
expressed in dollar memberships.
The first task Of the American
Red Cross is, OF course, to complete
its obligations to American soldiers
and sailors" said DR.. Farand.
The organization plans, as its fu-
ture policy, to concentrate its
efforts upon peace problems at
home, unless America should again
be involved in war or confronted by
great disasters creating special
emergencies.
The tremendous task of the
American Red Cross in the war has,
however, left continuing obliga-
ton which cannot be fulfilled for
some months to come. In an
amendment to the Army Bill, Con-
gress has prolonged the responsible
ity Of the Red Cross abroad by
authorizing the Secretary of War
Baker to transfer to the Red Cross
such medical and surgical supplies
and supplementary and dietary
foodstuffs now in Europe as are not
needed by the Army abroad or at
home to be used by the American
Red Cross to relieve and supply the
pressing needs.

HAD CHRONIC Bro HCnITIs
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY


The experience of Mr.. Z. j. Tou-
palik, 1888 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account OF the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: Il have been suf-
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
/ would catch cold and become so
hoarse | could not speak for six or
eight weeks. / could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time / had
used three-fourths of bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. / am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. 1t is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
PE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.
