OPENS HEART ABOUT
 INVESTMENTS

WASHINGTON, April 4-Privatc and official advices from Mexico City within the last few days were inter preted as clearly indicating a sudden change i'll sentiment in the republic toward foreign investments in Mex leo and that the coming session of congress will. clear the atmosphere of much of the hostility shown since the adoption of the 1917 constitution. Di- plomatic circles and officials of the state department are much interested in this apparent change of front, as manifested in newspaper editorials and in statements by members of the Mexican congress which have been telegraphed here.
 The American oil interests in Mex leo, it was learned, have not receded from the stand originally taken that thein vested rights in Mexico must be recognized and that the anti-for- eign and confiscatory features of the new constitution must not operate, eN-post facto against them.
 From recent advices 1t appears the new attitude of the Mexican people, at least, and it is believed in official circles that this attitude is inspired by the government, is to recognize the rights of all people including foreigners to their vested right under international law.
 The recent visit of Rafael Nieto, acting minister of finance in the Mex ican government to New York, where he consulted with international bank CTS regarding the prospect of a loan to Mexico has taken place between former Minister of Finance Liman- tour and President Carranza, which resulted ill tine latter extending an to ex-President Diaz' ex- perienced financial aide, arc believed to have been two influences that have Enanged the stand of the Mexican gov crnment
 Practically all the newspapers of Mexico City and many of the pro- vincial papers are reported to be interviews with members of congress and editorially commenting on the problem of foreign invest mems, especially the oil industry

REVENUE MAN WATCH
 PRICE OF TOBACCO

FL PASO, Tex, April 2-James w. Quinlan, deputy collector of ln- ternal revenue is here for the pur- pose of receiving returns on stocks of tobacco subject to the recently en- acted internal revenue tax. Dealers are required to make a complete re. turn of all stocks of tobacco on hand February 26.
 Speaking of the tobacco tax, Mr. Quinlan said:
 "The new tax varies, according to the form in which tobacco Is put up. For instance on Camel cigarettes the tax is l 9-10 cent on packages Of 20. The tax on tobacco is 5 cent ~ pound. On cigars, it varies from $l to SIP per 1000.
 Dealers nave a right to pass the increased tax to the consumer, but they must not charge a higher tax rate, as tax, to the consumer, thah they pay the government. For in- stance, if dealer increases the price of a two ounce sack of tobacco two cents, and claims that the increase is to pay the tax, he is subject to prosecution, because the increased tax on a whole pound is only 5 cents which allows Is ounces for tax.
 "The penalty for such misrepre- sentation of the amount of tax is a fine of $1000 and a years impris~ according to MT. Quinlan.

MANY FEDERAL
FARM LOANS HERE


Federal Farm Loan Associa-
tions 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 he organized in Pine county
and which has now been doing
business about two years. has
completed 3S loans amounting to
approximately $55.O00. There
are another half dozen applica-
ton for loans here.
Following is a brief descrip-
tion of the Federal Loan and in
what manner the loans are paid:
What is Federal Farm Loan?
1t is 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 a law July II. 1916. The
Federal Land Bank of this dis
trict (No. 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
simple interest loan. The most
important advantages of a Fede-
raj Farm Loan are:
/. 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 5a%o, which rate is uni
form throughout the United
States.
Federal Farm Loans run for a
period of 34a 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 semi-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 $1,000
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 6lee Of the
sum borrowed. We commonly
say that he is paying 5Afo in
terest and 1To on the principal.
But the way it works out is this:
His first payment is applied as
follows: $27.50 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.O0
(because of his first payment on
principal of $5.0O) 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 34A 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
$l.71 interest and $3O.79 on the
principal. BY means of his small

strike which has paralyzed ship
