FEDERAL BANKS
HELPING FARMERS

Do you know what the Federal
Farm System is doing to furnish
farmers with long-term credit?
Here are some interesting figures.
During the month OF March, 1919,
S15,946,277 was loaned to 4,63n
farmers of the United States by the
Federal land banks on longtime frs.
mortgages. The Federal Land Bank
OF Omaha leads in the amount OF
loans closed, s4,565,S50, with the
Federal Loan Bank of st. Paul RUM
ing second in amount, $l,S93. zoe
The Federal and bank of Wichita
from which business in Colorado is
conducted. closed loans amounting
to S775.Soo, a good showing for ona

CITY BOND ELECTION
COMES SATURDAY

The first thing that civic cor
poration tries to do is to get in debt.
The scriptaral injunction to owe 10
man anything is not needed as
rule by cities, etc.
Raymer is following the beaten
path and will hold an election the
coming Saturday to decide whether
we shall issue bonds for the purpose
of building water works In the town.
The need of fire protection is
pressing and water for domestic pur-
poses is good deal the same We
actually need water to cook with,
and II is very convenient to drink
and a bath is a luxury that may be
considered by some as really needed
once year.
Joking aisle. Raymer needs to
progress along all lines II 1t is to
keep pace with Its progressive sis.
ters.
We hope that the bonds will car
ry by a better majority than the cor
poration matter did, for there is no
way for city to make progress ex-
cept to make improvements and keep
on making them.

PUPILS CONTROL IN
ALL RUSSIAN SCHOOLS
Boys Of 16 Who Are Unable to
Read Are Admitted to the
Universities.

Pupils, instead of teachers, control
the schools Of Russia under the bol-
shevik regime, according to two Eng.
iishmen, one of them an experienced
schoolmaster, who have just returned
from Russia.
Boys and girls are herded indIs-
criminately and there is no discipline,
say the Engllshmen. Pupils control
the teachers. In kolmna school a
youth of eighteen was appointed COM
missioner of the institution and was In
charge of all teachers. On one occa-
sion he closed the school for week,
as protest against the action of the
master, who had reprimanded pupil.
Each class has Its own committee
and usually the most popular boy repI
resents the others ut the masters
council. These committees not only
direct the masters, but control the dis
trlbution Of food which Is provided for
the midday meal, and which is the
chief cause for any school attendance
at nll.
Pupils do exactly as they please,
walking into the classroom and leav-
Ing 1t while n lesson is In progress.
No punishment of any kind is innict-
ed on the pupil, as each pupil Is his
own mentor as to right and wrong.
No home work is set, the pupil do
Ing all his school work during the
hours set apart for each session.
Attendance Is not compulsory, or
even regulated by rule, euch one at
tending classes or staying away, as
he sees fit. No marks for good work
are allowed, and consequently none
for the sluggard who makes no at-
tempt at scholastic attainment
The same chaotic conditions were
observed by the Englishmen in the
universities and other seats Of higher
education. Any boy of sixteen may
enter without qualification, though he
may be unable TO read.

Of Mrs. Laura Maggini, prominent

Mrs. Maggni was In her eighty
sixth year, and for q years. follow
Ing an operation, she had lived with

At the time Il was believed that
she could live only few months at
the most, but Mrs. Maggini rallied and
In short time was In better health

SCHOOL DISTRICT
BUYS TRUCKS

Yesterday evening the school board
closed deal with the Swenson Com.
pany of Denver whereby they stan
dardize the school trucks and ia.
crease the number.
In the deal the Swenson people
take over six Of the old trucks, the
diatrict to get eight Republic "
ton trucks, and pay difference Of
$4,000.
Had the district bought the eight
Republic trucks at regular list priee,
the allowance for the six old trucks
amounts to over eight thousand do
lars The district traded in the
chassis only Of the old trucks, rctaii,-
ing the bodies. and the original cost
OF these was approximately $4,000
II we figure ON that basis and as
IL the district were able to get as
good price on the new trucks on
a trade basis as they would have got
on cash deal, the use of the trucks
for wear and tear on trucks would
figure about $4,000 for the use OF
three trucks two years, and six
trucks one year. or the same as one
truck nine years, making the truck
cost per year each little over $500,
outside Of repair expenses durir
that time.
II Is fair, however, to assume thai
the trade price was made rather
high, and that the average deprecl-
alton on the trucks should be figured
higher than that given above.
They believe that they have
made a good selection OF the kind
OF truck, that Standardization will
be advantageous and that the In
crease OF the feet by two additions,
trucks will enable them to shorten
the routes so as to obviate most ai
the criticism of the past. Repair
expenses should be low the coming
year.
The difference In tire expense
alone on new trucks with worn tires
should be. no small item.
