DEVASTATING STORM
Tornado Destroys Buildings. Kills Livestock, Injuries
Persons and Leave Wreckage and Ruin in the Path
it Followed SwantOn Hard Hit.

The tornado which swept North
western Ohio last Sunday was the
most disastrous of any storm that
this section of the State has ever
experienced. Sections of Henry and
Fulton counties were in the path
taken by the storm and nrany peo-
pie in both counties suffered from
the devastation which it wrought.
4 Tribune man went over the path
followed by the storm in that section
from the Kretz school house in
Henry county to and along the
county line road on Monday: The
general direction seemed to be north
east though the "twister" pursued a
freakish and zigzag course.
In this section investigated COW
ering a strip about three-fourths Of
n mile in width about 35 BUILDINGS
including houses and barns were
wrecked by the storm. Wood areas
as well as buildings showed the
ravages Of the merciless tornado;
some trees were twisted off part
way up the trunk others were up-
rooted in some instances entire
strips Of timber and orchards were
completely destroyed. Many houses
we've roohees. others were carried off
their foundations while still others
were almost completely wrecked.
On the Panning farm the house
was blown from the foundation and
badly damared; the barn was COM
pletely wrecked, the timbers end
siding being scattered over the
fields for manv rods.
The Fred Gaber barn and house
suffered likewise. The John SIN
mer barn was completely destroyed
n Ford auto WIS blown across the
road into n field and almost COM
pletelv wrecked. On the Hide
brand. Meyer and Gang farms the
barns were wrecked; Mr.. Gang was
injured in attempting to rescue his
stock. Among the nrany others
who were herd hit in this area are
the Poths, Will Orndorf, Tiltse and
Biery farms. The scenes on these
farms are indescribable and must he
seen IN order to realize the fury of
the storm and the damagA which il
wrought in an incredibly short
space of time. For a stretch of at
least eight miles to the southwes
CT the section mentioned end IN a
strip approximately three fourths OF
n mile in width there is not a build
ing that entirely escaped the fury
Of the "Twister" andf rom this sec.
tion the storm swept on to the east
and north missing the town of Delta

FEDERAL
FARM LOANS

The Federal Farm Loan Act was
passed in order to provide farmers
with money! a reasonable rate of
interest to be paid back in easy
payments over long period OF
time.
Any farmer who is actually en-
gagged in farming and owns farm
land can borrow money from the
Federal Land Bank.
The rate of interest is 51A per cent
and the loan is 341A years, though
the entire loan may be settled any
time after years.
The loan is settled by means of
fixed semi-annual payments which
are of sufficient size to pay the in
terest and a small part of the prin-
cipal so that at the end of the 341s
years the entire loan is paid.
Any farmer may borrow an
amount equal to fifty per cent of
the appraised value of his land and
in addition not to exceed 20 per
cent of the insurable improvements
on the land.
In order to borrow money from
essary to organize National Farm
Loan Association consisting of not
less than ten farmers who desire to
borrow an average of $4,000 or more
apiece or total of $4,000. No in
dividual farmer may borrow more
than $4,000.
l would especially call the atten-
tion of men who have suffered
severe damage from the recent
storm to the Federal Farm Loan as
affording a means of obtaining a
loan which can be paid back with
easy paymens over long period of
time and which will not require
frequent and expensive renewals
If you are intereste0 in obtaining
a loan from the Federal Land Bank
call up and leave your name and
address at the Farm Bureau office
The County Agent will be glad tc
arrange meeting to discuss the
matter and take steps to organize
National Farm Loan Association
in order to obtain loans,

ARMY BILL
PASSES HOUSE

The Army Reorganization bill has
passed the House by vote OF 246
to go. 1t authorizes an army of not
exceeding $4,000 men including
1900. 1t calls for an annual expen-
diture of $40O,O00,000. Representa-
tive Mondell, House Leader, stated
that the appropriations for next year
are less than half the amount asked
by theWar Department. The Depart
ment proposed an army of half a
million men. Appropriations will
be computed for only 10000 men
and 100 officers which will be the
peace-time strength. Representa-
tives Kahn. chairman of the Com
p'ittee on Military Affairs stated that
the high cost of the Army is due to
the larger pay granted officers and
men in the United States as compar-
ed with foreign countries
The bill is now in the Senate. An
important feature of the bill gives
military rank to army nurses. 1t
makes the air service and finance
division separate branches of the
Army. The tank corps becomes
part of the infantry. National
guard organization remains essen
tally unchanged. Only changes in
detail are made in the system out
lined in the National Defense Act
Of 1916! The whole is the result
of Republican effort to effect econo-
my of expenditure compatible with
adequate military protection.

Chinese Expect
 Organization of
 Unit Parliament

Shanghai, June 12.-Chinese off cials here are looking forward hope fully to the possibility of organizing a united parliament to include repre- sentatives of North and South China which until now have been in con- flct
 Their belief that the long separation of the North from the South was about to be united and the disputes of the two parlaments to be compos- ed was strengthened by the revolt led by Wu Ting-fang finance minister of the Southern government and chair man of it's administrative council. Dr Wu was the leader of the original par. liamentaory revolt that divided the North from the South in China three years ago. He has been in Shanghai for some. months having joined here two other members of the Southern administrative council, Dr. Sun Vat. sen and Tang Shao-yi.
 He declared that the government at Canton was thing of the past and that the leaders of the Southern fac ton intended to help to organize a new united parliament possibly in Shanghai, to draft constitution for all China and to formulate a policy to restore internal peace.
 Dr. Wu was followed from Canton to Shanghai by about 100 members of the former Southern parliament which had it's headquarters there
 The Southern parliament was the old Chinese parliament which existed before hostilities opened between the North and the South and it included more than 300 members.
 With the arrival of Dr. Wu three members of the administrative council of the southern parliament are in Shanghai and pr. Wu has announced that General Fang Chi-yao, another member of the council, is in sympathy with the faction now in Shanghai which would give them majority of the council, only thre members Of which remain in Canton.
 Dr. Sun Yatsen who has been car rying forward negotiations with the leaders of the Peking government, has announced that an agreement has been reached for joint action by rep resentatives of the North and South.

Lieutenant Colonel Matthew C smith, general staff, who has been ir direct charge of the work under Gen eral Haan, says: AS the employment situation cleared up, more and moro attention has been given to disabled men and to organization of local ocm mlttees to continue handling soldier problems of all kinds. Our emerren. cy army has been demobilized and ab- sorbed into civil pursuits For some months there has been no soldier re- employment problem. The mass of help wanted advertisements in news papers of the large cities show con clusively that there is work for prac- tlcally everyone.
 For years to come there will be eX- soldier problems, but the various wei fare agencies which have done SC splendidly in the past will be wholly competent, working through the local committees, to solve them for each in dividual The entire press of the Uni ted States has been behind the war department, and l may say that with out it's cooperation we never could have reached the individuals scatter ed throughout the land, as we have been able to do.
 "For Secretary Baker and General Haan l wish to thank every one of the welfare agencies which has con so much to the success of this great work. To the patriotic employ CTS who responded so generously to our requests that they take back all their employees who left to serve in the war. we owe great debt of grati- tude. On our lists are nearly 69,000 firms and individuals who so pledged themselves. Many of them have made signal sacrifices"
 The adjutant general of the army will take over the records of the ser vice and information branch, and General Haan requests that correspon- dence be directed to the civil relations section of that office after July 1.
