FARM LOANS MUST
WAIT FOR DECISION

r. +. Scott, secretary of the East
Fork Farm Loan Association, received
letter last week from the Spokane
Land Bank, instructing him to with
hold further applications for loans un
til a decision is reached in a suit against
the federal land bank system which is
now before the United States Supreme
Court. The letter follows
"On the matter of the suit now pend
ing before the Supreme Court of the
United States to determine the consti
tutionality Of the Federal Farm Loan
Act. we now regret exceedingly to have
to advise you that no decision has as
yet been handed down and the Supreme
Court has announced that a rearrange-
meut of the case is necessary. This
defers indefinitely further considera-
tion of the case. as a result of which it
is deemed advisable to notify all ma
tional farm loan associations to accept
no more applications at this time. +"

SHREWD IDEA IN POLITICS
Pictures of Presidential Candidates
on Letter Heads Was a Popular
Thing in ts4o.

Back In the early days Of the re-
public It was considered fine Idea
to decorate paper with the portraits
of presidential candidates. In this way
the letter writer showed not only his
preference but tried to influence his
correspondents for his candidate, re-
marks the New York Sun. A fine ex-
ample Of this sort of political propa-
ganda was unearthed recently in New
York. II dates back to 1910, when
William Henry Harrison was running
for president on the Wing ticket
against Martin Van Buren,, Democrat.
The letterhcad shows the two sides
of the gold medal awarded by con-
gress to General Harrison for his serv-
Ices in the War of 1912. The picture
10 the left shows a medallion portrait
OF General Harrison, while the one at
the right depicts the Goddess Of LIB
erty, armed with a spear, placing q
wreath of laurel on an Indian tepee.
This latter was intended as COM
pllment to the general for his success
in fighting against the British and In
dams.
Under the pictures of the two sides
of the medal is a copy of the resolu-
ton of congress comforting the med
ais on General Harrison and Isaac
Shelby, late governor of Kentucky"

Sand Generates Electricity.

A curious phenomenon of the Sa-
hara is the charging of motorcar
bodies with electricity. Lorries run
ming in the vicinity Of Gabes are re-
ported to be often affected, and driv-
ers grasplng the starting handle after
stop are liable to receive severe
shocks. The electrincation is sup
posed to be impaired to the chassis
from charged sand blown against it,
the rubber tires serving as insulation
to retain the charge. BY trailing
wires, ground connection IS made, and
the charge dissipated.

SURE THAT ANIMALS DREAM
Eminent Authorities Have Gone On

ArIstotle's history of animals DE-
clares that horses, oxen, sheep, goats,
dogs and all viviparous quadrupeds
dream. Pllny, in his natural history
specifies the same animals. Burton
describes the dreams Of animals. Mac

horses neigh and rear In their sleep

says that dogs, cats, horses and
probably all the higher animals, even
birds, as is stated on good authority,
have vivid dreams, and this is shown
by their movements and voice"
George John Romanes, In his Men
tai Evolution In Animals" says that
the fact that dogs dream Is proven
bal, and quotes Seneca and Lucretius'
and furnishes proof from Or. Lauder
Lindsay, an eminent authority, that
horses dream. Bechstein holds that
the bullfinchs dreams, and gives a case
where the dream took on the char
acter Of nightmare, and the bird fell
from its perch, and four great author
tiles say that dreaming becomes SO
vivid as to lead to somnambulism
