The GLASGOW COURIER
"And a petticoat and a shawl. And
for the children Cornaine-"

for the children. Germaine-"
But Germaine was too young to re-
member always what it was to be a
refugee. She thrust her little tous-
led head forward. "a new dress,
Madame, please, a new dress" And
she held out her tiny skirt, torn, thin,
wet with February rain.
A visible shade came over the calm
Face of the woman behind the desk.
Her fingers still wrote rapidly. Ger
maine Bolle, one pair of shoes, two
pairs of stockings, two flannel petit
coats, two pairs of drawers. But
but, Pm afraid-Miss Jenkins" she
interrupted herself hurriedly and in
English. "See if you can possibly
find a little girls dress for me. l
know they haven't been sending us any
from the Red Cross, but maybe
this child does want a new one O."
And she wrote out the list for the boy,
putting in two extra pairs of stock
ings because he would be the worker
of the family.
Then the three, clutching their slips
of paper with the writing on them
moved slowly down the hall to the
rooms, crowded with bundles of cloth
ing gathered from the workrooms Of
America.
Past the desks moved other groups.
First two old, old women, with a little
boy. Their cards showed they had
been twice evacuated in two years,
and that the little boy was a child
they had found. They needed aprons
and good warm petticoats, and he
needed, shoes and trousers. Then
next came a young mother with a ba-
by and her old father, who stood with
dim eyes blinking out of the window.
He was bent with rheumatism-you
must appear in person, for fear you
should be cheating. His sabots clump-
ed heavily toward the room where the
men are dressed. Two young boys, in
a nondescript huddle of garments,
came in, n with a horribly distorted
face, bandaged. The other had such
a cold on his lungs that he only Wheel
when he talked. They had been pris-
oners in Germany and had walked
in from far beyond Nancy. Some
soldiers had given them a little cloth
ing but it was not warm enough.
Then came three young girls, speak
ing French with a pretty clicking ac-
cent, charming girls, with refined,
cultured manners. They were Serb
ians, their cards read, and their his
tories indicated wealthy and educated
parents. But they were grateful for
the still unbleached muslin under
e and the flannel blouses which
was all the Vestiarie could give them.
All day long the procession went
by the desk, out into the clothing room
and then again across the room and
the other door. Always the group
waiting by the desk had that air of
holding their breath. Always at the
outer door they paused, with the in
stinctive mannerliness of the French,
turned and murmured to the room,
"Bon jour, Mesdames. Thank you
Mesdames." And then they would
smile, the old people vaguely, the
younger women with renewed cour-
age, the children-oh, the children
giggled and chuckled and pointed to
their wonderful new shoes and their
miraculous warn capes, and some
times forgot to say "Thank you," be-
cause they were so happy.

LAND BANK
SCORES ON TOWNLEY
Attempt of Fargo Organ of Nonparty
Boss to DISCREET U. S. Loans
Boomerang.

Mismarck, N. D., May 6.-"But the
federal land bank has thus far reach
ed only a small fraction of the farm
ers of North Dakota" says the Far
go Courier-News Townley's daily
newspaper organ in a recent attack
on the federal land bank system.
"The average interest rate on the
states $3O9, OOO, 900 in farm mortgage
es is over 8 per cent" continued the
Courier-News editorially. "The gov
ernment's rules are so strict that most
farmers cannot secure federal loans.
The state rules will be more liberal
and without question the state banks
loans will bring down the interest rate
appreciably. At the very least it will
enable many more farmers to secure
cheaper money"
In reply to the Courier-News, E. G..
Quamme, president of the federal land
bank of St. Paul, has the following to
say:
Federal Land Bank Replies.
"The federal land bank of St. Paul
was two years old on the first day of
May. During this period Of operation
the bank has loaned $28 500 900 to
over 1000 farmers of the Seventh
district. Of this amount we have loan
ed over $14, O0O, 900 to 5000 farmers in
North Dakota. The rate of interest
charged the first year Of operation
was 5 per cent, and during the last
year and at the present time we are
charging 5k per cent.
"Do you consider the growth of the
federal land bank of St. Paul slow
according to these figures? Have you
ever seen any other financial institu-
ton render such service and grow so
rapidly. Not only did we have to or
ganize the bank and the system, with
all that this means to one who under
stands, but we have also organized and
chartered over 500 farm loan asso-
Citations in the country"
Figures Are Poor Guess.
Townley, Brinton and others in con-
troll of the league affairs in North
Dakota have always opposed the fed
eral land bank system. Where the
Townley press obtains its authority
for it's arbitrary statement. that the
farm mortgages in this state aggre-
gate 5000, 900 900 cannot be discov-
cred. This would mean an average en-
cumbrance of SIS on every tillable
acre in North Dakota, and the av-
erage assessed valuation of all farm
lands is less than that amount. 1t
would mean an average mortgage in
debtedness Of $3.50 per acre upon ev-
cry acre Of land in North Dakota, til
liable and %untillable, cultivated and
wild, and this, of course, is a condi-
ton which could not exist.
The Bank of North Dakota will
have $10,000,000 to be furnished by
real estate bonds to loan on first farm
mortgages. These bonds must be sold
at par, and it was announced in both
houses Of the last assembly that the
state cannot hope to dispose of these
securities for much less than 7 per
cent. The Bank of North Dakota act
requires that this institution charge
on farm loans a commission sufficient
to defray actual expenses. If the bank
succeeds in keeping costs within 1 per
cent, the price of Bank of North Da-
kota money to the farmer will still
