makes it possible for a farmer to pay
a northumberland debt with thirty
three one-cent payments. And this is
made possible without the compound
ing Of interest, without building and
loan association computations, without
actuarial figures of any kind, but by
plain simple interest at 6 per cent.
You, who are familiar with the amorti-
zation table, understand how the
farmer pays 6 per cent interest on his
loan and pays a 1 per cen additional
each year for thirty-three years to
wipe out the principal.
Can Pay Principal Any Time.
"Under the farm loan act, the Dor
owe may pay off his loan before the
expiration Of the SO years, if he
chooses. He is permitted to pay off
any part of his debt ON any interest
payment date, after five years, without
previous notice.

When Senator Gronna asked Mr..
Ramsey if it was necessary for the
people of Montana to have a joint
stock land bank in order to promote
agriculture, Mr.. Ramsey replied:
ut is absolutely necessary in order
to get money at 6 per cent. 1 want to
say to you that the mortgage COM
panies in our state have no rate less
than 8 per cent and hat they are get
ting 6, 9 and 10 per cent. We have
filed exhibits with your committee
showing that the mortgage houses are
getting 10 per cent, and that some
times they are exercising usury above
10 per cent. getting a commission of II
per cent. This is the situation in Mon
tana and that is why l am pleading 70
5 per cent money to develop tie state.

Famous Play, Nov Screened, Has Hat
Great Career.
The presentation of eEverywoman.s
Walter Brownies celebrated modern
morality play, as a screen spectacle.
at the Greenwood Theatre Thursday
and Friday of this week, recalls the
enthusiastic reception which it receiy-
ed upon its initial production upon the
stage at the Herald Square Theatre,
New York, in February, 1911. The
cast included Patricia Collinge, Lau-
ra Nelson Hall, and Vida Bennett.
Nothing like it had ever been seen
before and the metropolitan critics
hailed it as something gloriously new
in the American drama. Almost con-
tinously since that time it has been
playing on the road and has been a
great artistic and financial success. It
followed by several other PLAYS
of similar character, but none of them
attained its popularity.
The screen version is said to have
been arranged upon a most elaborate
scale. The title role is played by Vio-
let Heming and in the east are Theo-
Roberts, Wanda Hawley, Magyar
ct Loomis, Monte Blue, Raymond Hat
ton, and Irving Cummings. George
Melford was the director and it is a

LONDON. Feb. 2o.-Thc decision of

A small glossy blue beetle is doing
much damage to the grapes in practic-

lucky. These insects destroy the
leaves and lay eggs in the crevices at
the base of leaves and on the stems.
The eggs hatch in a few days produc-
ing a sluggish grub which continues to
damage both the vines and the fruit.
They are not new insect; but appear
rather periodically so that it is inn
possible to tell just when to expect
them. The College of Agriculture is
recommending the use of arsenate OF
lead at the rate of two pounds of
powder to fifty gallons of water as a
means to control these insects.
