 One peasant habit which the Amer ican makes countless jokes about is as time honored and unswervable among the Russians as it is strange to the Americans. That is, sleeping on the stove. The Russian village stoves are built of brick or clay or porcelain. They are about as large as an ordin- ary American bathroom and flat on top. except where the brick chimney pokes through. One stokes them once or twice a day, until all the wood is burned out, and then closes them up, letting the heated bricks radiate their warmth. The flat tops of these stoves are bed spaces, for the eldest or most honored of the families. officers have surprised many peasant hosts by declining invi- tations to use these choicest of all beds

ARKANSAS BECOMES
 THRIFTY STATE

Arkansas is becoming a very thrif ty state according to statistics just made public. This state is in the heart of the district that made an increase of fortyfour per cent of it's savings, this in turn forming a part of the thrift record broken by the United States which has surpassed all nations in the Increase of it's savings during the past four years.
 The south increased it's savings four times more than the eastern states, according to L. A. Wilson, of St. Louis. savings director for the Eighth federal reserve district in the War Savings stamp campaign.
 ''The south has saved more during the past four years than in any other four years in it's history.' said Moor head Wright, state director "These habits of thrift will make the people and the communities prosper as never before. We started saving to win the war and we will keep on saving to win personal success and prosperity. Every person who buys Thrift stamps or who helps others form the habit is boosting along wonderful work and helping himself"

SAMMiES WONDER AT HABITS 0F
 RUSS PEASANTS

 Night.

With American Troops in North 1 Russia, Jan. 10.-CorTespondence of The Associated Press. )--The habits i and customs of the North Russian peasant are sources of unceasing won- der to the American soldier The peasants are primitive and are con tent to reside where the average Am erican housewife would roll up her sleeves and spend many days in scrubbing before she would live. In these wooden or log huts hundreds of Yankee infantrymen and engineers are billeted this winter
 The Americans, generally speaking occupy one half of the house and the family the other. The Americans half is as clean as constant "policing' can make it. But as the the other half. there are chickens, 'husky' dogs of the arctic type, and from two to four generations of peasants wan dering more or less miscellaneously about their one or two rooms.
 But they keep the chickens coop ed up part of the day." one Detroit, Michigan, private told the Associa- ted Press correspondent. "You see," he added. "they only let them out in the morning to police the kitchen. That's easier than sweeping out"
 Seal Windows.
 The Russian family side of all these houses is alright. It is bitterly cold up here in the forest during the six months winter, and the peasant doesn't believe in wasting heat. His windows are sealed up tight and never opened. He doesn't mind the re- sultant odor
 But the American does, and opens the windows in his side of the house, and the peasant shakes his head gravely and worries for fear his strange khaki-clad s, tests will catch cold.
 But the American doesn't catch cold, and neither does the peasant, for that matter, in his airtight rooms Both systems seem to work equally well. Since the cold weather las real

COUNTY AGENT WORK GROWS,

-65 of the 75 counties in Arkansas now have man or woman agent, or both. II counties havelno men agents. 19 counties have no women agents and 10 counties have neither men or women agents, while 8 counties have 2 men agents each and counties have 2 women agents each. In addition there are 10 colored men agents and 2 colored women agents. There are 72 county agents working in GA coun- ties and 60 home demonstration agents in 56 counties. Some of the best business men in the state say that the Agricultural Extension Div ision is doing more for Arkansas than any other one agency and that the county agent work has undoubted- ly come to stay.

only in methods if banking technique that touch the public. Changes with in the banking system itself due to the tendency for banks of all types gradually to merge their activities into the style of the federal reserve system, give rise to the belief that funds destined for investment in mortgages no longer will follow old channels in their customary volume. These changes are said to be the cause of reduced Investments by new member institutions in real estate loans.
 Suggestions already have been ad- vanced from more than one quarter, that the country needs to develop a new medium, similar to the federal farm loan board, that should devote it's special attention to temporary building loans and long time real es- tate mortgages in our cities. This clearly is the function of mortgage bank. Why then make the commend able step in advance, of applying the principles of amortization to city real estate loans and omit providing an 6toC4udCC1y OIOdu HdCiOlIC1l uIdI hCU for such desirable form of invest ment. We have our federal farm loan system, why then discriminate against the real estate loans of city origin by allowing them to be crowded out from the old channels and arteries of the new member banks, simply be- cause these articles are becoming adapted so rapidly to the clements of commercial circulation, without sub stituting some new machinery for their accommodation. The applica- tion of amortization principles is an important step towards standardizing the methods for handling mortgage securities and should afford sound basis upon which to establish a fed eral mortgage bank and safely issue on broad lines under government supervision real estate debentures and collateral trust bonds.
 Need Loan Bonds.
 The United States league of build- ing and loan associations have been particularly active in impresing upon the government the need for a new medium to be called the home loan banks that will standardize mor- tgage collateral and create a broad market for the securities based there on. It is gratifying to know har- mony of interest prevails between the American Bankers Association and United States League of Building and Loan Associations in the matter of amortization, and we may not be very far from the mark when we infer the possibility that the points upon which these two interests agree may ulti- mately include the need for establish ing a federal mortgage bank.
 Nor is this possibility if we in- terpret the evidence correctly in the March 18th Bulletin, issued by the savings bank section of the Ameri- can Bankers Association to the state committee on the amortization of mortgage loans. The bulletin devel- ops the history of long term mort gages abroad down to the establish

This record shows the total as 13 moose. 26 caribou, 16 goats, 27 sheep and six bears. That means moose to every gun and two caribou to each hunter with but one exception.
 Two of the hunters were women- and city dwellers at that-and their records are something to brag about. Mrs. Miller, of Salt Lake City. brought down one moose, two cari- oou and two sheep, while Mrs. Mead, of Chicago, bagged one moose, two

As the sea- son opens on Sept. 1st, it behooves hunting parties to reach Telegraph Creek not later than August 22nd in order that they may arrange their outfits and get started in ample time. Sheep and goats are hunted first. then caribou and lastly, moose. Bears may be shot all through the season.

AMORTIZATION OF
 LOANS WILL AID
 RECONSTRUCTION
New Methods Advanced For Building Loans and Long
 Term Mortgages:

Periods of reconstruction are in- tensely satisfactory from the point of view of those who advocate meth ods as opposed to the intertia of custom. The division of public works and constructive development again has an opportunity to discus new methods for temporary building loans and long term real estate mort gages in connection with our cam paign to stimulate activity in the building industry. For this reason much satisfaction is expressed for the progress that the American Bank CTS Association is making to advance the methods of institutional invest ors in real estate loans as opposed to custom.
 Amortization of loans is the prin- clple upon which emphasis is placed as method which will:
 CD Make available a great
 CT turnover of funds for re-
 investment in the renewed
 activities of the building in-
 dustry.
 (2) Remove that element
 of speculation from the risk
 of investment that so often
 relles in vain upon an ap-
 preciation in the value of
 land to offset depreciation
 m the value of structures.
 (3) Replenish the reservoirs
 of financial capital, by en-
 couraging thrift in the bor-
 rower, so that the supply of
 investment funds will flow
 unlnterruptedly in response
 to requirements of the build
 CTS of national wealth.
 O1 marked significance is the fact .nat the American Bankers Associa. llon committee in charge of the cam paign for amortization includes amongst it's members prominent representative from the United States league of building and loan associa. .ions. This is as it should be, for the reason that the funds for investment h,:, lm real estate loans provided by the pulidlng and loan associations of the onlted States, both in respect to the } amount of capital contributed, and ir respect to it's direct effect upon the p'osperity of the building industry .s relatively as important as the amount amount contributed by the state anhs and trust companies combined the insurance companies alone.
