Washington, d. c., May 31.--Rep

dollars from the treasury department

board authorized Ferris to state to
the Oklahoma people that by reason
of the enactment of his resolution
by congress, the board is able to
resume the making of loans through
the Wichita Land bank of all ap-
proved applications that were made
prior to March l. 1920.
The farm loan board has twenty
million dollars in approved loans
which they could not make, due to
the fact that the legality of the
farm loan law was in litigation. In.
terest rates were soaring, farmers
could ont secure adequate loans at
reasonable rates, the farm loan law
was tottering, the enemies of the
law were endeavoring to break it
down. Ferris came to the rescue
with the introduction of his resolu-
tion on April -.
He then appealed to every repub
lican and democratic leader in con
gress to help get the law passed.
and succeeded in getting his resolu
tion through with the one modifi-
cation of a reduction in the amount

Much excitement reigns in kidland
today and Young America in Chick
asha is doing a lot Of diplomatic work
to put over ways aud means whereby
they can see Gentry Brothers Train
ed Wild Animal circus, billed to give
two exhibitions today at the show
grounds at the west end of Chicka-
sha avenue.
And there are a lot of folks who
are not enrolled In the ward schools
who are classed az the diplomats who
are working out the details necessa-
ry to a "ring-side' seat when the
performance starts.
In addition to the wild animal per.
formers. as well as the domestic pets
booked to do clever stunts. the per
formance of Gentry Brothers includes
regular circus acts. There are
"kinkers' and other high salaried
artists among the human performers
that go to make the performance
clean and clever
A big crowd gathered on the
streets about noon to see the parade
which, though not as large as the
greatest show on earth" was good
and brought all the thrills that the
blare of trumpets, bespangled per
formers aud funny clowns usually
produce.
An army of guards kept the crowd
"shooed" away yesterday at the show
grounds while workmen were busy
making the new tents waterproof
In this process 700 gallons of gaso
line and 500 pounds OF paraffin were
used. Had a match been lighted in
the immediate proximitey of the
tents while this process was undel
way, the whole shebsng would have
gone up in smoke. hence the activity
of the guards.
There will be a performance thi
afternoon and another tonight.
