800 AN ACRE LIMIT
BY FARM LOAN BANKS

Regulations designed to check the
creation of speculative land values
and land speculation generally have
been placed in effect by the federal
farm loan banks, the boards annual
report reveals.
Farm loan banks have been i'm
structed to lose without regret" ap-
plications for loans which do not
protect amply the banks and their
bond buyers.
In furtherance of the policy to
keep down "unwarranted" land val
ues. the banks have been ordered
not to enter into competition with
private loaning agents where the
latter have offered larger loans than
the boards appraisers believe to be
justified.
The boards regulations provide
that not more than 500 per acre
will be loaned. even in cases where
actual sales were taking place at
$3.50 to $500 per acre. Supple
menting this is ruling that where
a farm has sold within year at a
considerably enhanced price, the
price of the sale next previous is to
be the one to be considered by the
appraisers in fixing the amount OF
the loan.
The farm loan system since its
creation has supplied total OF
S338,134,000 to the fs.smers of the
nation. In its repotsA year ago,
the board gave the total loans at
$154,742,000 or a growth in the
year ending November 80, of more
than 100 percent.

GAVE FAREWELL DINNER

The officers and directors of the
Audubon County Farm Bureau held
their annual meeting last Monday
to look over the records of the past
year and to discuss matters pertain
ing to the work for the coming year.
p. M. Wolf, who has been county
agent the past two years resigned
his position a couple of weeks ago
to become effective on Monday He
has been in full charge of the work
and has been very successful. Dur
ing the past year the membership of
the organization has been greatly
increased and the older members
felt that all would be benefited
much more the coming year than
any year of the past
They arranged for a special din
ner at the Virginian Cafe at noon as
courtesy to Mr.. Wolf and to show
him how much they appreciated his
untiring efforts. A real dinner
was enjoyed which included all of
the delicacies of the season. After
dinner, A. p. Hansen, residing
west of Extra, and one of the most
enthusiastic members of the organ
ization, made a pleasant talk in
which he recalled the faithful work
of Mr.. Wolf and in closing present
ed Mr.. Wolf a handsome rocking
chair on behalf of the organization.
This was all a complete surprise TO
Mr.. Wolf and he was hardly able to
make a response. He soon recov-
cred his usual self composure and
thanked the officers and directors
for their kindness and for the
hearty cooperation given him dur
ing the past year.
l.. P. Reeve, the newly elected
county agent, went back to Laramie,
Wyoming, last week to close up his
affairs there, but hopes to be back
to Audubon the last week of this
month to take charge OF the work.
During his absence Miss Olga Chris
Jensen has charge of the office, and
will no doubt continue her services
with Mr.. Reeve.
Mr.. Wolf left Tuesday morning
for Des Moines where he will spend
few days. On January 14th he
will be married to Miss Florence
Meyers, of Dexter, a teacher in the
public schools here, and after the
ceremony he will take his bride to
Dayton, Ohio, where they will go
to housekeeping on a farm near
that city.

GOOD SALE LAST NIGHT

H. A. Tessman's Poland China
hog sale took place at the stock pa
vilion at the fair grounds last
night. A good sized crowd of buy
ers we're present. Mr.. Tessman had
a splendid offering comprising 40
head, of which head were tried
sows, 20 head of fall yearlings and
Is head of spring gifts. The sale
was not as well attended as had
been hoped for, but all who were
there fully recognized the quality
of the Offering. The average for
the offering was little over SIS
head.
Mr.. Tessman has worked industri-
ously to bring about good class of
pure bred hogs. He is thoroughly
familiar with the business and has
met with good success. However,
last nights sale should have
brought him a bigger average. Mr..
Tessman is not complaining, but this
is the expression of many OF the
bidders who were present and had
also attended another sale during
the afternoon. We hope to be able
to publish a complete list of the
purchasers in next weeks Republic
can.

COURT IS STILL
In SESSION
SESSION OF DE-
GENDER TERM BEING HELD
IN CITY THIS WEEK

Judge o. d. Wheeler came from
Council Bluffs Monday to hold the
adjourned session of the December
term of the Audubon County District
Court. The petit jurors were call
ed to appear at the court house at
nine o'clock and soon thereafter
court convened.
The first case on the docket was
that of the State of Iowa VS. Francis
Eaton. This case comes from Ex-
ira. Eaton was held on a charge
of adultery. A jury was selected
during the morning hours and after
dinner the examination of witnesses
began. A large number of wit
nesses were present and the case
did not go to the jury until Tuesday
afternoon. After celebrating for
three hours the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty. A motion was
made for new trial and action will
likely be taken in the matter some
time this week.
The second jury case was that Of
the State of Iowa VS. stRed' Smith.
The case brought our-pany witness
es and occupied the attention of the
court all day yesterday. The case
WcilI " lilC July JUST bCloiO ouppSA
and after the jurymen had been
taken to supper they went to the
jury room for deliberation and in
a short time brought in a verdict of
not guilty.
The case of F. M. Rice VS. F. A..
Buthweg is being tried today. This
case involves damages for straw
and corn stalks on some land the
defendant rented in 1917 from the
plaintiff. At the hour of going to
press the case is still claiming the
attention of the court.
The next case assigned is that of
Stuart VS. Wheeler which will no
doubt be brought up tomorrow.
There will be enough work to
claim the attention of the court for
almost another week, but as Judge
Wheeler is scheduled to be in Coun-
Gil Bluffs next week he does not
know at this time whether court
will adjourn on Saturday. He has
asked to be relieved from work at
the Bluffs next week and If they
can dispense with his services he
will continue court next week. He
will make a definite announcement
perhaps by tomorrow night.

HOG SALE WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS
BUYERS FROM MANY STATES
EAGER TO GET PART OF THE
SEWERS OFFERING

The great Poland China hog sale
of Fred Sievers was held at his
farm four miles north of this city
yesterday afternoon. In his offering
were 40 head of prize winning big
type Polands, daughters of Big Bob.
Col. Jack, King Jones, Chief Big
Bob, Smooth Jones and Big Jack
and this splendid lot drew a large
number of the best breeders from
various states in the Union.
The early morning trains brought
large crowds both here and at
to the Sievers farm.
The large tent was filed to capa-
city as usual. The buyers visited
practically all of the pens before
dinner and were pretty well decided
ed.
The entire Offering brought good
prices. The top price paid was
$1450 and sold to big breeder in
Alabama. The average for the en-
tire offering was $685..
We attempted to get list of the
purchasers for today's Republican.
but were unable to secure it.
WI. oioFeiS Is "ei piedSeu Win
the result of the sale. He has
worked industriously for years to
bring about a type of hog that
would be money maker to the av-
erage farmer. All breeders are
agreed that the Sievers type is far
ahead of anything else offered I'm
the sale ring. Last year he sold
the highest priced hog of the Poland
China breed sold in the world. This
was heralded abroad and of course
brought his as well as the city Of
Audubon a great deal of advertising.
We are all indebted to Mr.. Sievers
for putting Audubon county per-
manently on the map, and every
mothers son ought to be booster.

VACANCY HAS BEEN FILLED

Miss Beulah Reed who was home
to spend her holiday vacation with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. e. Reed,
was elected at special meeting OF
the school board held last week to
fill the vacancy in the fifth grade
of the public schools, caused by the
resignation of Miss Florence Meyers
of Dexter, who is to be married
January 14th to Paul M. Wolf, for
mer county agent.
Miss Reed has. heen teaching in
the public schools at Dallas, s. d.,
and of course had to resign her po-
sition there to fill the one here. She
graduated from the Audubon public
schools and later took normal
course in the State Teachers Train
ing College at Gear Falls. She is
especially well qualified to fill the
position and will no doubt prove an
excellent addition to the already eff
ficient corps of teachers. She is
to be congratulated on having re-
received this recognition of merit in
her home town where she is best
known.

BANKERS TO MEET
In CHICAGO SOON

Bankers representing clearing
house associations in all parts of
the country, meeting in Washington
Tuesday, at the call of the federal
reserve board, failed to take final
action on the question of interest
rates on bank balances, but decided
to hold another conference at which
it is expected an agreement may be
bidding between city and inland city
banks for out-of-town deposits.
At the request of the bankers,
the federal reserve board issued a
call for a second conference at Chi
cago, January 23, to be attended by
three representatives from each fed
eral reserve district.
The purpose of the Chicago meet
ing, as stated in resolution, will be
to consider the whole question of
interest on balances in order that
some basis may be agreed upon that
will be mutually satisfactory, con-
ducive to conservative banking and
benefit the entire business and bank
ing community"
Governor Harding of the federal
reserve board served notice that the
board did not consider itself bound
by any agreement of clearing house
associations, whereby the interest
rate on deposits would be advanced
or reduced automatically in line
with increase or reduction in redis-
count rates of federal reserve banks,
but would act freely and independ-
entity in taking any necessary &C
ton to meet the financial situation
In various parts Of the country. Gov
ernor Haring predicted that raise
in the rediscount rates would be
necessary, and appealed to the bank
ers not to make a scramble for de-
posits' by advancing interest rates
on balances. He protested against
tendency to turn deposits into in
yestment funds.

HIRED FOR ANOTHER YEAR

The members of the board OF SUI
pervisors of Audubon county went
to the county farm last Saturday to
take an invoice of the stock on the
place and to check things over to
make a report for the years work.
They found everything in the best Of
condition and took occasion to COM
pliment Mrs. John Crees very high
ly for the excellent showing she
made with the chickens and produce
on the farm. After enjoying a good
meal the board returned to the city
to complete their work at the court
house. They hired Mr.. and Mrs.
Crees as stewards of the county farm
for another year and gave them q
good increase in salary. Mr.. and
Mrs. Crees have been stewards for
three years past and each year have
been able to make a good showing,
the farm paying good interest ON
the investment.

HERE Is REAL DOPE
FOR THE AUDUBON FANS

Oscar Thorson's announcement on
Tuesday that he is planning some
more championship wrestling match
es for Des Moines; that Champion
Earl Caddock says he is in good con-
dition and ready to take on all
Corners; that the titleholder prob
ably will be seen in contests soon;
and that a Wladek Zbyszko- Caddock
match is one of the possibilities of
the near future, was good news for
the followers of the mat game in this
vicinity.
No real heavyweight wrestling
match has been held in Iowa since
Caddock went overseas late in the
summer of 1918 with the headquar-
ters troop of the 8Sth division. In
fact the last championship match
was in June, 1918 at Des Moines,
when Caddock won a decision over
Ed Stranger Lewis in time-limit
contest at the Coliseum before
thousands of admirers of the title
holder.
That these friends of Caddock
are wrestling hungry has been shown
many times recently. Until Tues
day, however, Thorson kept his own
counsel and answered all questions
by the assertion that there was no
demand for a match and that when
there was a desire on the part of the
fans to see real contest he would
try to arrange one.
Last week Th0rson slipped quietly
out to Walnut where Caddock is now
making his home, interviewed the
champion, and sounded him out
on his willingness to meet some OF
the best Of the heavyweight chal-
| lengers.
That Caddock believes he is in as
good condition as he ever was in is
| indicated by the word Thorson took
back to Des Moines.
Bring them all on" the cham
pion is credited with saying.
News that the titleholder has re-
covered from the illness that has
kept him off the mat for the past
year and that he may be seen against
some worthy opponent in Des Moines
| certainly is welcomed at this time.
when Joe Stecher, who was defeated
for the title by Caddock, is masquer-
aiding about the country claiming
! the heavyweight honors, which he
lost and has not regained, in spite OF
his assertions and explanations.
That Wladek Zbyszko may be Cad
docks opponent here also should
sound good to the thousands of fans
who saw their first meeting two
years ago in which Caddock was Civ
en- a decision after more than two
hours of remarkable wrestling.
"Pete" Dennis is one of the best
wrestling fans in town and he no
doubt will be glad to see this an
nouncement. "Eh. Peter"
