Farm Labor Short

Notwithstanding the return of
most of the Powell boys, there is
a greater shortage of farm labor
this year than last. This is sup
posed to have been caused by the
heavy drain upon labor for the
OIL fields industry, but there
seems to be similar conditions,
not only in adjoining counties,
but the whole nation over, as re-
ports to the United States EN-
ployment Service show con-
stantly increasing demand for
farm labor. States in the North
west, middle West, South and
Southwest and on the Pacific
coast report an increasing short
age of farm labor as the season
advances.

The Federal Land Bank, Lou.
isville, has written the editor of
this paper several letters IN re
gard to the organization of a
Federal Farm Loan Association
at Clay City. The object of the
Governmental establishing these
banks over the country is to sup.
ply farmers with money to i'm
prove their farms, buy fertilizers
or pay off debt already contract.
ed, at a very low rate of interest.
You can in this way borrow to
the extent of one. half the value
of the farm and have from five
to forty years to pay off this
debt. A little is collected twice
yearly which when added to the
interest is not often more than
you must pay interest from all
other sources. The present rate
is 81 per cent. interest plus
small payment on the principal,
which makes an average of about
81 per cent. yearly, until the
loan has been liquidated.
The Times has a lot of litera-
ture explaining the operation of
this system of the Government
loans. We will also be very
glad to explain the organization
and operation of these forms of
loans to any farmer interested.

Travelling Public Imposed Upon

The travelling public at Clay
City has been greatly imposed
upon by those persons in control
of the railroad affairs who have
provided for the closing Of the
depot here before the train going
east In the evening arrives. This
means that you cannot buy q
ticket for this train at time Of
departure and that you must re-
main outside waiting for the train
far into the night in the dark
when it happens to be so late.
There is no excuse for tins other
than merely to save the expense
of time of the agent, Mr.. Voll-
mer, IN keeping the depot open
until the train arrives.
The Times has all along favor
ed the Government ownership
and control of the roads, but if
this is the way they are going to
serve towns the size of Clay City
we will have to "change our
flag"
The people of this town surely
will not tamely submit to this
unjust treatment. A petition
should be presented to the au-
thorities asking change back to
former conditions. Failing to
get what is justly due us there,
we should bring an action before
the Railroad Commission at
Frankfort, in order to get mat
ters righted.

Commencement Exercises

Commencement exercises at
Stanton College last week were
attended by large crowds
and the class of entertainment
speaks well both for the College
and the students. The high
school play, "Aunt Sophronia at
College" was rendered Wednesday
night. A large number from
Clay City attended and all say
that it was extremely fine.
The commencement Of this
school is now looked upon by all
the people of Powell county as
an annual feature of supreme in.
terest to our people. We thus
watch the development of our
boys and girls in a most fitting
way. Our college is the pride of
our county, and it has never had
a more efficient and deserving
man at its head than the present
president, the Rev. Willis
Crafts.

FAIRBANKSAND
NENANA GRADE
IS COMPLETED

Recent arrivals in Cordova from
way of the government railroad stated
that about all the grading hal beef
completed between Fairbanks and the
north side of the Tanana river oppo-
site the town of Nenana, and that the
few contractors who were working
when they came through expected to
have everything completed before
now. "This would give a finished
grade, ready for the laying of steel,
the entire distance.
1t was also reported that approxi-
mately four miles of steel remained
to. be put in place in order to close
the: gap between the two towns. 1t
will possibly take twelve or fifteen
days to bridge the gap, depending en-
tirely on conditions, as the steel must
all 4be laid from the Nenana end of
the. line, there being no rails avail
able on the other side of the gap.
A shortage of rails has. forced the
commission to remove the old Cinema
mill spur, part of the extension at the
local Tanana Valley "Y," and take
up part of the track at the gravel pit
in order to get enough rails to make
the through connection. New rails,
intended for this division, had to be,
moved south from Nenana in order to
get the track extended to the Nenana
canyon, where Mr.. Browne proposes
to do considerable rock work during
the cold weather.
When asked recently about the prob
able date of the completion of the
Nenana- Fairbanks work, Mr.. Ward,
engineer in charge of this work,
stated that he could give no definite
date, but it would be through by
Thanksgiving day at any rate. But
under favorable conditions it is be-
lieved that the last spike will be
driven several days earlier than that
time.
