CALLS ATTACK ON
FEDERAL LOAN
BANKS UNFAIR
D. P. Hogan, President Of the
Omaha Institution, Denies
Accusations Made by Rep.
resentative McFadden.

Characterizing them as unfair
attacks by interests that have been
prohting by the old method of han
ding farm loans, D. P. Hogan,
president of the Federal Land bank
OF Omaha, denied the accusations
against the federal land banks made
BY Representative McFadden of
Pennsylvania in extended remarks
printed in the Congressional
Record.
"Mr. McFadden has for the last
six months been the mouthpiece of
the American Farm Mortgage
Bankers association and has at va
rious times placed in The Congress
sional Record articles attacking our
system" stated President Hogan.
ave have endeavored to conhne
our loans to actual farmers oper-
ating and owning farms and do not
wish to violate the terms of the act
whereby spectators and those
owning rented land receive the
benefits of the act.
Loans are made at actual cost
and the profits go back to the Dor
rowers. Any attack upon the sys-
tenn is an attack upon the farmer
who produces the greater part OF
the wealth of the land. Congress
should repel those attacks and
should amend the law. 1t also
should increase the maximum loan
from $4,000 to $4,000, as $4,000
does not supply the needs of the
average borrower at the present
price of land, and, in fact, every
thing which must be bought for
Improvement of the farm"

What Lillian Told Madge About
"the I,ady"

Lillian's assurance that we were
going to her home before meet
ing the woman, the sight of whom
| had so dreaded, gave me back my
poise, sadly shaken by my fevered
imagination during my journey to
the city. | sank back i'll the cornor
of the taxicab with very much the
feeling of condemned prisoner
granted a reprieve at the eleventh
hour.
My friend made no further COM
ment upon my attitude toward the
business in hand, but with her usual
acumen went on talking briskly
about everything and nothing dur
ing the ride home, indeed, until we
were safely within her wonderful
brown-toned library. There /,
shamed out my cowardice, inter
rupted her.
Il am perfectly all right now" l
said, ready to face anything
Please tell me all you've been
doing"
81 havn't been doing very much"
she replied, but what some faithful
old handymen of mine have been
accomplishing is plenty-and then
some. They've not only located the
dame-some little job in itself, lady,
when you consider the data we, had
to go on"
Il know I prinpaiobtat theft
II know l acknowledged with
emphasis, as Lillian paused for an
instant.
But they've secured her general
record for the last twenty years."
Lillian went on, land it's sure one
pippin. If anybody's hunting for a
competent lady crook, with the
cleverness of her Satanic master
oozing from every pore, I'd advise
that party to camp on, her stair
case. She is bird, Madge. and the
reason it's taken me so long to
land her is because | had to have
everything framedl up to the last
detail for her. But l don't think
we have overlooked single bet.
Why, we've even got records and
photographs of the last checks
your father gave her.
ooh, it's beautiful case and the
peachiest part of it all is that she

some fresh underfrillies and when |
knew the guest was coming | took
the liberty Of buying new blouse
for you. If you don't like it, ! will
take it back and give it to some
one else. But won't hurt you to
wear it one evening"
An Unnamed Guest
We had reached her bedroom as
she finished. and she indicated an
exquisite embroidered crepe blouse
lying unon the bed. 1t was Of the
shade of blue most becoming to me,
and harmonized with the color OF
my suit. 1t was a royal gift and
from any one else | could not have
accepted it. But | said to myself
whimsically, that no one else except
Lillian would have offered it, and l
knew her generous heart would be
wounded if did not take it.
You'll take it back only over my
dead body l said, hugging her
warmly. ITS simply perfect!
But who is the guest in whose
honor it is to be worn. Surely Mr..
Savarin isn't we'll enough"
Her face Swallowed quickly.
Indeed not poor Robert,
although he is mending so rapidly
that we think his sister will be able
to take him to his beloved mountain
soon. But he could not stand the
strain of meeting strangers. Come

the inspector.
And now" said Trent, rising to
his feet, "I'll leave you to your
meditations, and take look at the
bedrooms. Perhaps the explanation
of all this will suddenly burst upon
you while l am poking about up
there. But" concluded Trent in
voice of sudden exasperation, turn
ing round in the doorway, IF you

II has been suggested that one day
of Victory Week be set aside for a
great religious festival. The Tidings
is in favor Of that. The week should
be full for all the seven days. II
the week opened Monday morning,
June 30, and continued till Sunday
night, July 9Th, taking six days for
ptriotic and other festivities and the
seventh to be the cap sheaf, ending
the celebration with sermons from
famous men and sacred concert of
several hundred voices 1t would prove
q wonderful attraction. 1t seems that
some such plan should be carried out
thru cooperation of all valley church
es. Likely some great preacher like
Billie Sunday could be secured for
the occasion. It is the privilege of a
life time to hear the truth presented
with such force and eloquence as he
possesses and thousands would come
to hear him.

ist, on the other hand, holds that all
must yield to his notion of community
life. He would force every citizen to
find his pleasure in religious pur-
suits whether he will or no. He views
this life as merely an antechamber to
to one to come, which is the only one
Of Importance, therefore he abhors
everything that does not tend direct
ly to the life to come.
The newspaper, desiring to be OF
service to Its community, should oc-
cupy always the middle ground be-
tween these extremes. 1t should up
hold the moral life that its city be
kept clean and wholesome and il
must lend its influence to CONNER
clal demands that the community
may be provided with that by which
only communities can live-the prof
liable exchange of commodities and
active advancement. In doing that,
tho not itself religious, 1t is uphold
ing religious institutions by helping
to make churches prosperous be-
cause the financial life of the church
cannot be neglected without greatly
hampering the spiritual life. The
other, day a local minister related
joyously how his church wound UP
the old year clear of debt and ex-
patiated on what splendid church
and congregation he had. When we
heard 1t we thought, we'll, there
is a preacher who realizes the value
of prosperous commercial life in up
holding spiritual institutions, We
were not surprised to find him a
member of the Victory Week solicit
ing committee. He fits in well to
such activities because he recognizes
both the spiritual and commercial
value of the work 1t is a we'll set
tied doctrine that the acquisition OF
money will not put man safely thru
the pearly gates, yea, it is easier
even, for camel to go thru the eye
of needle than for a rich man to
enter the kingdom Of heaven, vet.

so long as religion is promoted thru
human institutions II is highly es
sential that the community have thu
ready cash to make religious insti-
tutions prosperous. The only legiti.
mate means whereby the community
can supply such necessary funds IL
thru active commercial advancement
Therefore, every church, and every
individual interested in the life to
come, should be an active worker for
the commercial advancement of the
community in which 1t moves and
has its being.
The newspaper, realizing the ne
cessity of both, should always strive
to maintain an equitable balance be-
tween them. 1t would be almost as
remarkable to find a community
without a sinner as to find one with
out a church, For our part, we do
not expect and do not care in this
world to find community either
without church or without sinners.
But, we do feel that a right balance
between the two, and a right regard
Of one toward the common rights OF
the other is essential to wholesome
and prosperous advancement.

lack of action by those whose duty
1t was to act. Our desire was that
things needful be done, not to seem

auditor, feeling that our criticism re.
flected somewhat on his lack Of ac-
tion, remarked, the trouble with you
Is you want to run the whole thing.

1t is to act in the premises, refuse

Is to be done and must be done. We
have no use for the lazy Gaston-Al-
fonzo system that defers to others
at the sacrifice of things that ought
to be done in the world. The only
thing that really counts is results. A
person not result getter is not
worth a torn continental in any situ-
alton. In such places we do not con-
slider friendships, enmities or men.
We consider result-getting action
only.

CAR FULL OF LIQUID JOY
OPENED AT GRANTS PASS

The thirsty ones Of Oregon are pre-
pairing for the long dry season that
is in prospect when national prohi-
bition goes into effect, and liquid
refreshments can no more be obtain
ed by taking short jaunt over the
county line into California. Last
week, it is alleged, a Studebaker car
was loaded on freight car at Med
ford billed for Corvallis. Special
Agent Roberts of the Southern Pa
cific corps of detectives, opened the
car at Grants Pass and found over
200 quarts Of whiskey neatly slowed
away in the Studebaker. The car
was released, it is claimed, and sent
on its way, but the thirst of its re-
cipient will remain unquenched.

COMMERCIAL AND SPIR-
ITUAL ACTIVITIES

A secular newspaper has two para
mount functions First, to supply
the general news to its subscriber.
and, second, to uphold the CONNER
cial life Of the community. It's ex
istence is maintained by selling thret
commodities subscription, adyertis
ing and stationery IN the matter Of
editorial opinion II must not be sup
posed that each suggestion is sci
down with the idea that 1t will meet
the approval of all readers. Among
two thousand readers 1t is to be ex-
pected that there exist about two
thousand different opinions on most
any subject. It is the duty of the
newspaper to slft these opinions AMI
present what appears to it to be most
In the interest OF wholesome COM
munity life and prosperous CONNER
cial activity. When a plan is an
nounced, like Victory Week, for
example, to put the town forward
commercially, while at the same time
affording expression to a very neces-
sary patriotism in memorial to the
soldier boys, 1t is to be expected that
some one will rise up and insist that
the sum proposed could he better ap-
piled in establishing factories where
the boys could have profitable en-
ployment, etc. Then we are remind
ed that 1t takes factories. and round

qua, mineral springs and religion,
morals and billiards. Victory Weeks
and patriotism, and a tremendous
sum OF local cooperation, loyalty and
push, to keep place attractive, ac-
tive, wholesome, interesting and pros
porous.
II is the business of the newspaper
to keep in close touch with individual
opinion in the community. However
erroneous, each opinion must be Civ
en- its proper weight It is as impor-
tant that a wrong opinion be combat
ed as that a right one be advanced.
Experience teaches, when local opin-
ion is considered, We all move more
or less in our narrow channel. The
ultra commercialist would have pros
perity at the sacrifice, even, of NOR
ality and religion, not realizing that
as the community becomes loose and
unsafe 1t will repel those with chill
dren seeking a high moral atmos-
phere for them. The ultra religion

Doctors say there are two classes
of women in the world; those who
want to be lean and those who want
to be fat. Such discomfort runs
thru the entire individual life. 1t is
fine thing 1t is so. The saddest
thing imaginable is to be contented
with what we have and what we are.
Contentment is stagnation. Discon-
tent spurs us on to greater and
higher desires and action and sup
plies the moral force for its accom-
plishment. Contentment in COM
munity life is no less to be deplored
than 1t is in individual life. Action,
action, action. That is life.

PARK BoARDs ANNUAL REPORT

The annual report published last
week of the Ashland Park Board Is
gratifying. The board has made a
splendid showing both from finan-
cial and development standpoint The
financial report shows that the de.
partment enjoyed a net profit OF
$755.00 from the cupvending ma
chimes at the fountains and the gas
meters at the camp grounds. When
considering this splendid income we
are reminded of at least one adverse
criticism on the Springs Water com
mission when these enterprises were
being installed One citizen, other
wise very strongly opposed to any
city development in the park sec
tion of the town. In berating the
visionary and wild eyed" proposal
of the commission in establishing
these enterprises reminded citizens
that I'VE did not vote our money to
buy gas meters" The report shows
however. that II has proven an ex-
ceedingly profitable investment
Revenue earning schemes in the
park should be further fostered and
inaugurated. II is altogether pos
sibe in a few years to make the park
entirely self supporting by adding
from time to time amusements and
park sale agencies that will bring
revenue to the department.
This year Ashland will spend some
ten to fifteen thousand dollars on
its Victory Week" entertainment.
During the entire week immense
crowds will be in the city looking
for amusement and entertainment
The presence OF that crowd should be
capitalized by the city by providing
acceptable pay amusements for the
entertainment of visitors. Properly
pursued more than the total sum ex-
pended on the entertainment could
be gotten back into public rotating
funds for the. advancement of our
public pleasure giving enterprises.
For example, the park needs bet
ter band stand. One could be con-
structed of cement on the ground al
ready laid out and planted for II,
built in the form OF she'll with
sounding board and designed with
dressing rooms and proper stage
forms and effects necessary for the
presentation OF cantatas and the
like, and the entire cost of the struc-
ture, we think, could be paid for out
of entertainments given there dur
ing Victory week. An arrangement
might be made with Prof. Andrews,
or some other experienced in such
matters on fifty-fifty basis that
would warrant him in the undertak-
ing and lay up a fine revenue for the
park fund.
On such occasions the park en-
trance and Granite street could be
blocked during the show allowing
only those to pass who presented
tickets.

The Many Mysteries of
Nature
BY l. ". BOWER, N. D.

You can take an onion seed and o pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot Of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get opium 70 dangerous, habit-foming
drug), or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation.
No scientist, living or dead, can explain
these mysteries Of Nature. Behind the
invisible life germ in each seed is hidden
the deep secret that nobody understands.
Everything growing out Of the ground
seems intended for some use in establishing
natural conditions. DR.. Pierce, Of Buffalo,
N. Y, long since found out what Is
naturally best for women's diseases. He
learned it all through treating thousands
Of cases. The result Of his studies was
medicine called DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This medicine is made OF
vegetable gowths that nature surely in
tended for backache, headache, weakening
drains, bearing-down pains, periodical IL
regularities, pelvic infammations, and for
the many disorders common TO women in
all ages Of life. DR.. Pierce's Fayorite
Prescription is made Of lady's slipper root,
black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue
cohosh root and Oregon grape root.
Women who take this standard remedy
know that in DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription they are getting safe woman's
tonic so good that druggists everywhere
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
full confidence Of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no
narcotic. DR.. Pierce knew, when he first
made this standard medicine, that whiskey
and morphine are injurious, and SO he hes
always kept them out Of his remedies
