The available supply of houses in
Kendrick has been exhausted for
several years. Only two or three
new houses have been built here
since the beginning of the war.
Conditions are now becoming posi-
lively alarming. Families are hav-
ing to leave town because they can
not rent the houses in which they
have been living, because others
who have come to town and could
not find place to rent, have
bought. It's a sure thing Kendrick
has reached her maximum of pop
ulation unless more houses are
built.

When Thor struck loudly on his

that some newspapers make, ham,

They pound on the first page, they
pound on the editorial page, and rat
a-tat on the pages between. But
the cause of liberty is not the least
disturbed.
AS matter of truth, in spite of
all the carefully planned mis-
representation, and with England
screaming her propaganda in almost
every hamlet in the country, her
rule IN Ireland is over, and she
knows it.
AS for our congress. let US be
glad that it still represents the
United States.
OF course England's feelings are
hurt. The whale that swallowed

No one is deceived by the COM
parison between Ireland and the
southern states. 1t is ready-made

make their ears heavy, and shut
their eyes" is the motto of these
newspapers.

of lies. Mary {. Byrne.

1t is being said by those who are
trying to dlsorganize Kendrick
Highway District that Troy has al
ready spent a greater part of the
money raised by voting bonds, and
hasn't begun to build permanent
roads. The truth of the matter is,
Troy hasn't spent a cent of her
bonds. The bonds were voted
about a year ago and not a single
bond issued as yet. The district
now has more machinery and road
building equipment, acquired dur
ing the past year since being in a
highway district, than could have
been secured in ten years under
county road control. Troy is get
ting along fine with her district in
spite of the wild stories to the con-
trary.

How Diphtheria is Contracted

One often hears the expression,
my child caught a severe cold
which developed into diphtheria, "
when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one par
ticularly susceptible to the wander
ing ~diphtheria germ. If your child
has cold when dlphtheria is pre-
valent you should take him out of
school and keep him off the street
until fully recovered, as there is a
hundred times more danger of his
taking diphtheria when he has a
cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures
the cold and lessons the danger of
diphtheria or any other germ dis
ease being contracted.-Adv.

According to the 1919 game CEN
sus, submitted to o. M. Jones, state
game warden, a rapid increase of
big game has been recorded in the
state. In eleven counties IN the
state the census states there are
1855 deer. Now we 40 NOT wish
to dispute the figures of the game
census, but just how the game de-
partment has been able to count the
deer SO accurately is a mystery.
The writer hunted four days last
fall and only counted one deer. At

while to count the 1855 deer with

A man owning a good farm in the

to pay five dollars an acre to have

would show extremely poor Judge

AGREEMENT ON
OIL LAND BILL
NEARLY REACHED

fSpeciaI Correspondence to The JournaI3
Washington, Jan 30.-Oil men
are anxiously awaiting the outcome
of the oil land leasing bill, winch
is still In the hands of the senate
and house conferees.
Work on the conference has ad-
yanced so far that only three poln's
of disagreement now remain. Inc
first relates to section IS of the
bill. which contains a limitation OF
1900 acres in one lease, and TINS
amount was agreed to by senate
and house. The difficulty was in
troduced when the house put IN
provision "that no lease or leases
under this section shall be granted
or inure' to any person, assocla-
ton or corporation for greater
aggregate area or acreage than the
maximum in this section PROVIDED
for" The senate conferees insist
that the word "inure," If construed
literally and carried out by the sec
retarv of the interior. every 3,20O
acres of land would have to have
IFS own refinery because a refinery
could not take oil from two leases
of 1900 acres each, IL profits from
the two leases "inure" to their BEN
eft. Nor are the senate conterees
inclined to give In on that point
although the house conferees De
cline to bulge on their own insist
ence. The only hope seems to be Ill
compromise on some other
language which up to this time no
one has been able to suggest in a
technical point only, but shows the
difficulty of adjusting differences
Another disputed point is the
maximum royalty. the house nav
ing put in a limitation of not less
than 12Ia per cent and the maxi
mum IS per cent. The senate con-
ferees insist that producers will pc
deferred in entering any fleld
where their good luck in striking
gusher will be nullified because in
such an event, by the house pro-
vision, the secretary of the interior
could require them to pay any roy
atty even up to rs or 80 per cent
or even higher. This disputed point
is regarded as less troublesome be
cause some maximum is regarded
as necessary and senate conferees
prefer to have it fixed by legisla-
ton instead of by executive discre-
ton, as the latter plan would de
stroy all certainty as to rights OF
prospectors.
The third point in dispute relates
to the division of the royalty be-
tween the United States treasury
the reclamation service and the
states in which the oil is to be
produced. This is contained in sec
ton 35, the senate and house
agreeing that 10 per cent of funds
realized from royalties shall be paid
to the United States and credited
to miscellaneous receipts; the SEN
ate providing that the remaining
90 per cent shall be divided be-
tween the state for road improve
ment and the reclamation fund.
The house wishes about 60 per cent
for the reclamation fund and 30
per cent for the states for good
roads.

constantly coming into the market.
Their security is unusually strong.
First is the property itself. Then
comes the farm loan association
with its double liability, or the
agent whose Endorsement appears,
and finally the capital and surplus
of the farm loan bank There is
further protection in the growing
sinking fund held by the associa-
ton, as the original loans are grad
ually amOrtiZed. Finally, there is
the provision of the law that the
bonds of any farm loan bank are
the joint liability OF all such banks.
both as to interest and principal
The bonds are issued in either
coupon or registered form. Those
that have been issued mature in
twenty years, though a special pro-
vision says that they may be re-
deemed at par after five years.
Their denominations are S25, $50,
500, $500 and $1,000. Their in
terest rate cannot be more than
five per cent. The prevailing rate
up to the present has been four
and one-half per cent. The bonds

talities of the United States gov
eminent" and as such are exempt
from federal state and local taxes
OF every sort, except inheritance
taxes. They are legal investments
for all fiduciary and trust funds
under federal jurisdiction, and for
virtually every kind of such funds
and for savings banks in many
states.
Joint stock land banks bonds are
bonds similar in almost every par
ticular to federal farm loan bonds.
The chief difference is that they
are issued by joint land banks,
whose formation is authorized by
the federal farm loan act. Such
banks are not capitalized by the
government but by individuals,
firms or corporations. Their min
imum capitalization is $25O,O0O, all
of which must be paid up before
any bonds are issued, and obliga-
tons may not be undertaken in ex-
cess of fifteen times the capltai
and surplus of the issuing bank.
In general their security is the
same as that of the farm loan
bonds. though the law provides
that in the case of the joint stock
banks loans be made either in the
state in which the bank Is located
or in one contiguous state, Pro-
visions as to interest rates, denom-
nations, and tax exemptions are
the same for both type of bonds.
Their relation to the value OF the
land and Improvements on which
the mortgage is issued is the same.
They are not, however, the JOINT
liability of all the banks but OF the
issuing bank alone. They are legal
investments for fiduciary funds
under federal jurisdiction, and
number of state have given them
the same status as federal farm
loan bonds as investments for trust
funds or savings banks.
