Cuba, Asking
Loan, i'm n eed
OF Economy
Continued from Page Eighty


lie Cuba is asking Washington for a
loan around seo,oo0,oo0, and to assist
the government itself to pay off its
own floating debts It wants to issue a
s45 100000 interior loan, in the shape
of bonds at per cent interest.
Undoubtedly the present administra-
with a heavy load to carry and ire
mendous problems to solve. The rude
dream that the treasury held some cash
or hand was quickly dispelled, and the
millions supposed to be on hand con-
sisted of deposits in the Banco Ma
cional-in process of Hquidation-and
government bonds whose value was
considerably under par. Taking in
ventory" began Immediately and has
been continued since, each week I'M
covering contracted obligations Of the
former administration, making the to-
tai gum staggering figure.
Undoubtedly scores Of creditors
throughout the United States would
really favor q loan by the bankers to
the Cuban government because they
think that the amount - 100000 -
would be sufficient to start the bust
ness ball rolling and their accounts
would be paid; undoubtedly, too, there
are many banks in the North which,
in the event Of no loan being made
to Cuba, contemplate foreclosure pro-
ceedings against sugar estates on this
island. Both parties-the exporter and
the banker-should be warned that this
particular season is called the hurri-
cane season in the West Indies. With
government heavily overburdened
with debts, with sugar crop of almost
two million tons still unsold, and with
every adult inhabitant Of this island,
native or foreign, in debt, it would
seem that the courts of Cuba are 60
ing to deliberate very fully should &C
tions be taken by foreign creditors.

Answer-Both Western Union 6Ms
and Louisville & Nashville rs are, in
our opinion, good safe investments.
No investment can be put away and be
forgotten entirely, but you need not
worry at all about the two that you
have picked out. If you keep reason
ably we'll informed as to general bust
ness conditions it would be protec-
ton. 1t would be safer once year to
see an earnings statement, but that Is
true Of any investment.

PRICES OF FARM CROPS BELOW
PREwAR AVERAGE

The prices of six of the important
crops on May l of this year were DE-
low the prewar average prices for
that date, according to figures CO.
lected by the Bureau of Crop EST
mates, United States Department OF
Agriculture. These crops are corn,
oats, barley, flax, potatoes, and cot
ton. The report showed that the
prices of the three grains

prewar average prices. During April
the average price of wheat declined
from $3.50 to 1923 per bushel The
report shows that in general the in
dustrial crops, such as flax, cotton
and broom corn are the most depress-
ed in price, and that food crops, such
as wheat. rye, potatoes, and apples,

The prices in various parts Of the
country vary, with South Dakota be-
ing the center Of the low-price dis

was 90 cents per bushel, and in some

CLOVER PESTS CAUSE FARMERS
SERIOUS LOSS

Decided increase in the destructive
attacks by the lesser clover leaf
weevil, serious insect pest, in the
States Of Illinois. Indiana, and Mis-
souri, is reported thru the country
wide insect pest survey conducted by
the Bureau of Entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture.
This pest, it is said, in conjunction
with the clover-leaf weevil and the
curculio, sometimes ac-
companied by fungous disease, is
becoming so serious in parts of Ohio
that alsike and sweet clover are be-
ing substituted by farmers for red
clover, it being impossible to grow
the latter crop successfully.

VALUE OF MILk IN THE DIET
SHOWN WITH RAT EXHIBIT

A striking exhibition of the value
Of milk in the diet has been prepared
by the Dairy Division OF the United
States Department Of Agriculture for
use in educational milk campaigns.
The exhibit consists of two stuffed
and mounted rats, one a large boncd
healthy specimen, the other an IN
dersized weakling with skin clinging
to it's poorly developed bones.
The illustration compares an ade-
quate diet containing all the food es-
sentials with an inadequate. poorly
chosen diet, lacking some Of the food
essentials The large, well-deve'oped
healthy rat had its cereal diet sup
plemented with milk. and the advan-
tage accruing is shown by the we'll
developed tissues, muscles and bones,
the sneoth hair, the bright eyes, and
the nd Athy color Of the living rat
The protein Of milk is capable Of
building muscular tissue. The miner
al Of the milk, especially lime, builds
strong bones, and the food accessories
(vitamines) Of the milk insure growth
and health.
The small rat was deprived Of milk
and other adequate sources Of these
necessary food constituents, hence the
weak. Celatinous bones, thin muscles,
lack of growth, and constant loss in
weight and size Both rats had
wheat biscuits, but only one had milk
with the biscuits.
These rats were chosen from two
cages containing six rats On March
% each group weighed ass grams.
All rats were young and the same
age On Nav both groups were
again weighed. The six rats rcceiv-
ing milk had gaircd 5i25 grams.
The others showed a loss Of III
grams each, or 1927 grams for the
lot Of six.
This is not considered a Scientif'
experiment. but simple exhibit IN
show the effects Of an Inadequate
diet, as proved by experimental re-
search.
