FARM LOANS
AT S 1-2 PER CENT

Loans on farm lands at II per cent
interest, WITH PRIVILEGE OF
PAYING ON THE PRINCIPAL
at any annual interest period.
As Arule farmers do not care to
encumber their land with a long term
mortgage, without the privilege of re-
paying the entire loan in a reasonable
length of time. Many sales have been
prevented because the borrowers have
been unable to obtain a release of the
mortgage before maturity without the
payment of a heavy bonus. Under the
option in our mortgage papers THE
BORROWER CAN REPAY THE EN-
TIRE LOAN, OR ABORTION OF
1T, AT ANY INTEREST PERIOD,
if he desires to doAso,
Loans are made ONLY ON I'M
PROVED FARM LANDS.
In estimating the value of land, its
productive capacity is. taken as ba-
sis while its nearness to market, aces
sibility to roads and tufnpikes, neigh
borhood, ETC., are also considered.
The partial payment privilege, and
long time, make this contract very
favorable and desirable one for far
mers. Then, too, we close our loans
WITHOUT DELAY. For further in
formation, address

IN MEMORY

On Feb. Is, 1920, the death angel
visited the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mack Walden and claimed as it's vic
tim their beloved child, Ernest. He
was eight years old and professed
faith in Christ in 1917 and lived a
Christian life until God saw fit to
call him home. He leaves a father,
mother, two brothers, eight sisters
and a host of relatives and friends
to mourn his going away. Ernest was
sick two weeks and bore his sufferings
with patience. He was a bright little
boy and was loved by all who knew
him. We cannot understand why our
loved one should be taken from us
but we know that God doeth all
things for the best. Ernest has gone
to be with Jesus and other loved ones.
How well we remember hearing him
sing, 81 Am a Child of the King"
Weep not, dear loved ones, for the
tolls of life are over for him and we
shall some day meet him in the sky.
Funeral services were conducted by
Bro. Lee Harris and the remains were
laid to rest in the family graveyard.

THIRD 3,OOO,OOO,OOO BUSHEL
CORN HARVEST is FORECAST

Washington, Aug. PA three bill.
lion bushel corn crop for the third
time in history was forecast yesterday
by the department Of agriculture on
conditions existing August l. AS Au.
gust is the critical month for this crop.
It is uncertain whether the promise of
a crop almost equal TO those of 1912
and 1917 win be fulfilled. Improve
ment was reported during July in the
important states with the exception Of
Illinois, and a crop forecast 224,000,O00
bushels larger than predicted July
was issued.
Spring wheat was adversely affected
during July, principally by rust, and
the production forecast was reduced
29,000,000 bushels from a month ago,
or to 262,OO0O0O bushels. The prelim-
mary estimate of winter wheat was
15,0O0.000 bushels larger than forecast
in July, making the combined wheat
crop only 100000 bushels smaller
than estimates a month ago.

In destroying wolves, coyotes, noun
tin lions, bobcats, and other stock.
killing animals and for the suppress
sion of wild animals affected with
rabies In the western states. An ex.
tract from the recently issued annual
report of this bureau follows:
During the fiscal year a force of
from 400 to 500 skilled hunters was
employed under the direction Of the
various Inspectors. The salaries Of a
part of the hunters are paid from the
federal treasury and of the others
from cooperative funds supplied by
the states or by contributions from To-
cal organizations and individuals. AS
heretofore, the hunters are not permit
ted to receive bounties, and the skins
taken by each become the property
of the federal government, the state,
or the organization or individual pro-
viding the money for salary. Skins
taken by federal hunters during the
year netted the federal government
SIC, 1856, which has been turned into
the United States treasury, making the
total received by the government from
this source to date $197,3S7.37.
The number Of skins or scalps taken
by official hunters during the year is
as follows: Wolves, 5S4; coyotes,
27,100; mountain lions, 149; bobcats,
4,123; Canada lynxes, 43; bears, 81.
In addition, as a result of poisonous
operations so many dead coyotes are
reported by stock growers to have
been found on the ranges where poi
Soning operations were conducted that
1t is safe to estimate the number de
stroyed in this way as more than
equaling tina approximate $4,000 preda-
tory animals of which the skins and
scalps were taken.
Predatory animal hunters are di.
rected to consider bears under ordi
nary circumstances as game animals
and have positive instructions to take
every precaution not to kill any ex.
cept those known to be destructive
to live stock. Unfortunately, occa,
sional unOffending bears are taken In
traps set for other animals, thus max.
Ing the number of bears killed during
the year considerably larger than
would otherwise be the case. The
vast majority of bears are inoffensive
so far as injury to stock is concerned
but occasionally individuals in all
parts of the range country become
stock killers. some of them being no.
toriously cunning and destructive In
their activities. Naturally such ami
mails must be eliminated, and the more
promptly this is done the less preju-
dice there is likely to be created
among the stock growers against all
bears.
From much study and experimental.
ton, great improvements In methods
of poisoning predatory animals have
resulted. Larger and more thoroughly
organized poisoning campaigns than
ever before attempted were conducted
during the year. Their success was
such that in many areas stock grow.
ers are urging the extension of this
method as being the most practicable
one for the control of coyotes. Elk
tended poisoning operations were con.
