 '"The figures asked for are not un- reasonable when the facts are con- sidered from an unbiased standpoint. Bad weather which materially affects the number of our working days, and other delays bring down the weekly wage of the average carpenter, and if everything is taken into considera- tion a maximum figure of S25 a week the year around is putting it at as high as standard as possible
 Why does the government try to coerce us when the real trouble is in New York with few of the large contractors? Should we go back to work we would be obliged to surren- der our charter and play the traitor to 300, ,000 members of the organiza- tion.
 Tt is an insult to our intelligence to say that we would be working for the government when we would be under the supervision of theb osses of the Cauldwell- Wingate Co.,; why, the only difference would be that a gov ernment official would hire us. The company would still be in control, and if they admit the justice of the rate we have been getting here why does not the company use it's infiu- ence to get the other master builders who refuse to pay that rate in New York to do what is done here?
 ''We will treat with the government and go back to work if the contractors are withdrawn, because we realize that the company is using the name of the U. S. government to make strikebreakers out of us, and make us play traitor not only to our fellow craftsmen, but to every man in any branch of organized labor.

MANY FEDERAL
FARM LOANS HERE
Brief Outline aud Description Of
the Popular Federal
Farm Leans.

Federal Farm Loan Associa-
tons are rapidly being organized
all over the country. Last week
the first Association was organi-
zed in the neighboring county Of
Chisago. The Askov Federal
Farm Loan Association-the first
to be organized in Pine county
and which has now been doing
business about two years, has
completed 3S loans amounting to
approximately $55.OOO. There
are another half dozen applica-
ton for loans here.
Following is brief descrip-
ton of the Federal Loan and in
what manner the loans are paid:
What is Federal Farm Loan?
II is a loan made to farmers
through the Federal Farm Loan
system, by a Federal Land Bank,
upon real estate mortgage .secur-
ity. This system was established
by Act of Congress. known as the
Federal Farm Loan Act, which
became law July II. 1916. The
Federal Land Bank of this dis
trict mo. y. is located in st.
Paul. Minnesota, and is chartered
to do business in Michigan. Wis.,
consin, Minnesota and North Da-
kota.
Is a Federal Farm Loan diff
ferent from a simple interest
loan? If so. in what respects?
Yes. a Federal Farm Loan diff
fers in many particulars from a
simple interest loan. The most
important advantages OF a Fede-
raj Farm Loan are:
l. Low rate of interest.
2. Long term Of loan.
3. Amortization plan of re-
payment Of loan.
The rate of interest at this
time is 5A9o, which rate is uni
form throughout the United
States.
Federal Farm Loans run for a
period Of 34l years. but can be re-
paid in part or in full at any in
terest date after five years from
date of loan.
All Federal Loans are made on
the amortization plan. The mort
gage never falls due, thus reliev-
ing the farmer from any anxiety
about it's renewal: the semf-an-
nual payment of $3.50 on each
81 900 is all that ever falls due.
Give an example of an amortiz-
ed loan.
A farmer who borrows 81 900
through the Federal Farm Loan
System pays $500 a year in
semi-annual payments of $3.50
each, until the loan is discharged.
This is of course $40 Of the
sum borrowed. We commonly
say that he is paying 5a%e in
terest and 1Go on the principal.
But the way it works out is this:
His first payment is applied as
follows: $3.50 on interest and
$500 on principal. The interest
on the next payment is figured
at 81 per cent on the reduced
amount Of principal of $995.W
because of his first payment on
principal of $500 and is applied
as follows: $27.36 on interest
and $5.14 on the principal. He
continues making payments Of
$3.50 each six months during
the BAL years, but the interest
payment is constantly growing
smaller and the payment on the
principal is steadily growing
larger, so that at the end OF the
thirty-four years. he is paving

"NOr>k" Remains.
The council of the Norwegian
Lutheran church has decided, at
a meeting in Minneapolis. that
the question Of eliminating Nor
wegian" from the name of the
church shall not be brought be-
fore the 1920 general convention.
1t was decided last year with an
overwhelming majority that the
adjective should be removed. but
the council evidently feels that
the fight against the decision was
we'll justified.
New Ships.
On Monday of this week ru-
NOR was cabled from Gothen-
burg, Sweden. to the effect that
a new Swedish American pas
senger and freight line will be
inaugurated next spring; at first,
five ships will ply the ocean be-
tween Sweden and America, but
it is the intention of the pro-
mOters to increase the number
of. vessels later on. About half
of the necessary capital is said
to have been subscribed in the
United States.
Strike is Over.
The Copenhagen dockworkers'
strike which has paralyzed ship
ping at that port for several
weeks, was declared off late
last week, and the traffic be-
tween New York and the Danish
capital which had been stopped
because of the strike, will now
be resumed. The strike appears
to have been from beginning to
end nothing but sheer Bolshe-
vism.
Norwegian Bureau.
Rev. II. Voldal suggests in a
newspaper article that Nor
wegian secretariat be established
in this country for the purpose
of disseminating information
about Norway and Norwegians.
A publicity bureau may be affili-
ated with the contemplated in
stitution.
To Fly in Sweden.
Hugo Linden. an aviator of
Kansas City who received his
training in the American army's
aeronautic service, will leave
next week for Sweden to give
number of exhibitions there
and in Finland.
