BUSINESS MEN HEAR ...
PLANS OF ARMS FARLEY
Continued from Page -

tCOnLinuSu lF3ul Z dSS -
Assistant State Manager Chapman
was present and suggested that he be
called upon TO- outline the plan OF
the ~EouitaSle Life Insurance COM
pany in cities where a district office
was established.
Mr.. Chapman briefly outlined the
Equitable home building plan, show
ing how owners can obtain loan
on their homes at per cent interest
and at the same time secure protec-
ton for their family.
"The Equitable has made it pol
icy to provide form of insurance to
meet every home need" said Mr..
Chapman, land propose to make it
possible for people to own their own
homes and have them paid for. In
St. Paul about so per cent of the
people have their homes mortgaged,
and our plan will do away with this
in ten years.
The plan, when you make loan,
is to permit you to pay for your home,
by paying monthly the same as rent,
and in case you die before it is all
paid for, the company will give your
heirs a clear title to, the property:
The plan really means that you can
secure money for less than 6 per cent
when the value of the policy is deduct
ed. We hope to open IN office in some
live city in this section of the state
and, if Benidji looks most favorable,
it will be Bernidji."
Mr.. Chippman's talk was enthusi-
asticaliy received, and many ex-
pressed desire to cooperate with
the Equitable representatives in every
respect.
President M. W. Deputy, at the
opening of the session, gave a short
outline Of the work accomplished by
the education meetings held here last
week and advised that a permanent
organization had been formed and
the city would be practically assured
of the meeting next year. Some per-
lnanent meeting place must be select.
ed and h CHOPPED that Bemidji would
be favored in this regard.
! Music by Mrs. Vans orchestra was
furnished throughout the luncheon
hour, the several selections being well
received.

CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT STATES
PURPOSES OF RED CROSS.
Calls on Americans to Re-EnIst in the

Nation wide services Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross were cited by Chief
Justice William Howard Taft as
meriting the support Of every Ameri-
can.
In personal message to delegates
attending the national convention OF
the Red Cross held in Columbus,
recently, Mr.. Taft after summing up
the past achievements Of this great
organization made the following
appeal: ..;..~@ ...~
LET us turn to the future. The
Red Cross has a great mission in the
days of peace as well as in the turmoil
Of war. First Of all, our duty is to
the disabled ex-service men. Every
day they must carry the burden Of
their services to our country. We
must help them bear it.
''More than this, humanity in general
is too frequently subject to disaster
and destruction. The cali for sudden
help ever recurs. it is imperative
when it comes and is often of so great
extent as u require d IcsSuihS "SeHSs
Of great means and power to be at
hand. The Red Cross must not fail to
heed these calls.
II am confident that the people OF
our country will continue to answer
the roll call of the Red Cross and
that, thus will be enlisted the greatest
peace time army ever known for
emergency relief Of suffering hui

the bureau finds that in the prin-
cipal organized industries, wages and
salaries were about 70 per cent of the
total income; while capital (including
management received about 80 per
cent, out of which were paid rent,
interest and profits; but these pro-
portions varied materially with rela-
tive prosperity and depression. In
1916, for example, the share of CAPT
tai increased to about 35 per cent
with 65 per cent to labor, while in
1919 capitals share fell to about 20
per cent, while labor got IS. OF the
total payments to employees in the
highly organized industries, about 81
per cent goes to the manual workers
and clerical stats, while per cent

that, but they are secured by all the

They bear interest payable semi

Why keep money in bank which you

LEGAL EXECUTIONS

The esteemed Lafayette Gazette
sounds the keynote in a recent editor
ial when it says the state should a5ol-
ish the barbarous hangman's moose as
the prescribed means Of Kidding the
state and society of such undesirable
citizens as murdarers. The Gazette
is but following and echoing what
other newspapers, including the Star
Progress have already advocated; but
in lieu Of tn erope as method of eX-
ecuting the mandate of the law the
Gazette would establish the firing
squad or the electric chair, preferably
the former, both, it insists, being much
more humane than the moose.
AS to the electric chair we must
disagree with our contemporary.
That method is almost as gruesome as
the rope and the details of such an
execution are just as nauseating as
is that when the criminal is mounted
a trap door, with a rope adjusted
about his neck and a black cap plac-
ed over his head
We confess that the firing squad is
much the better plan, but that plan
has been tried in one of the western
states Nevada, we believe) and it
has been abolished. That little sage.
bush commonwealth recently changed
from the firing squad and the hang
mans noose-either plan was optional
with the condemned man-to the le-
thai chamber where death-bringing
gas was let in when the condemned
man lay asleep and he awoke in an.
other world.
Nevada has established a precedent
which other states could we'll follow
and thus rid the public Of the details
of legal murder. The double hanging
in New Orleans a week ago last Fri
day when two youths, one slightly
over IS years Of age, went to their
deaths for horrible and cold-blooded
murder Birbiglia, the elder of the
two and the man who fired the fatal
shots, slowly choked to death, and wit
nesses say that after he had hung for
fifteen minutes he uttered the ex-
preston, beneath the black cap:
''God have mercy on my SOUL"
All executions, either by rope or
electricity, are accompanied by more
or less brutality, all of which could
and would be eliminated if the deadly
gas would be prescribed as the means
of execution, when the legislature con-
venes in extraordinary session Sep
tember 6. The Nevada law prescribes
that the condemned man nor the pub
lie will know the exact date of the
execution. On the day and hour set
the jailer silently closes the cell where
the condemned rests, making the place

FARMERS SHOULD FINANCE
THEIR SYSTEM

When the farmer can invest his
money safely and profitably and at
the same time help the business CT
farming, it seems that he ought 70
do it if his attention is called to the
matter.
The object of this editorial is to
call the farmers attention to just
such a matter.
The federal farm loan system is
the best piece of constructive legis-
1ation ever enacted in this country
It bids for the money Of those who
have money to lend, and lends it to
! the farmers on land mortgage at liv-
ing rates and on easy terms. During
these years of dear mon ~, even
though it was suspended by injunction
for long time. it has been the saliva
ton Of the agriculture Of the United
tates, in the money markets.
Now it is going on the market, not
once but several times every year
bidding for money to lend to farmers
who need money. 1t bids for money by
offering federal farm loan bonds. IN
less it can sell it's bonds it cannot
serve us.
We, as farmers, should see to it
that it commands every dollar of idle
capital which farmers and their
friends can command.
If every dollar of loose money held
by farmers for investment were used
in buying these bonds the system
would need no more. Even in such
times as these, when so many farmers
are pinched for funds, these are liter
ally billions of dollars which the more
well-to-do hold. for investment.
Farmers, stand by your fellow far
mers and by your own financial sys-
tenn by buying federal farm loan
bonds. 1t is duty you owe to your
country; but unlike many duties, It
means safety and profit and convsn-
ience.
The bonds are as safe as govern
ment bonds. All the federal land
banks are in fine condition. The bonds
are secured first mortgage on improv
ed farm lands, and the sum, loaned is
in no more than so per cent of the
value of the lands, not counting i'm
