WHEN THE CENTURY BEGAN
Mode Of Reckoning Is Simple, Vet the
Matter Is, Frequently Subject
Of Dispute. e,~

The Twentieth century began on the
first day of January, 1901. In COM
mon usage the First century means
the years A. D. l to 100; the Second
century the years 1O1 to 200; and the
Nineteenth century the years A. d.
1901 to 1890. The Fifth century be-
fore Christ was 500 to 401 B. G. A
century begins with the beginning of
the first day in it's first year, and does
not end until the close Of he last day
in its hundredth year. The mode of
reckoning is often confused with the
common mode of stating the age of
person. A person born at the begin
ming Of the Christian era would be
called one year old during his second
year, that is during the course Of the
year two; he would be called two
during the year three; and forty dur
ing the year forty-one, etc.

Railroad Workers Contend Living

New York.-Railroad workers in the
east have decided to reject all pro-
posals of wage reductions and carry
their fight to the railroad labor board,
if the cuts are put into effect.
Representatives Of the workers who
have been holding conferences here
have decided upon this course, taking
the position that the present wage
standard must be maintained and Geo.
nomic conditions will not permit any
reduction.
There is little danger of any cessa-
tion of work Should the railroads put
the reductions in force, union officials
said, as the employees will appeal to
the railroad labor board at Chicago
and abide by it's decision. The rail-

new FARM LOAN BOND ISSUE
SIS, ,000, 900 to 6e FIoated at S Per Cent
for ReIendinQ at 6 Per Gent.

Washington.-A new issue of farm
loan bonds of approximately $75,OOO,-
600 will probably be offered for SUBJ
scriptiOn in the next few days, treas
ury officials announce.
Issuance of new bonds, Commits
sioner Lodbell said at the time of the
supreme court decision on February %
upholding the legality of the federal
farm loan act, would be made as soon
as possible, but he intimated that it
would be at least 80 days before the
funds would be available for actual
loaning.
'In the present money market the
bond rate will have to be advanced to
S per cent" he said. "The interest
rate to the borrowers will have to be
correspondingly advanced to 6 per
cent.
"The farm loan board is hopeful that
the market may absorb farm loan
bonds equal to the borrowing demands
of the farmers of the country, but no
one can predict with safety the result
of financial operation of this magni-
tude."

SEED FUND ONLY
FOR DR0UTA AREA
Western Part of North Dakota
Gets Aid, Eastern Counties
Are Excluded.
FARMERS BUY AT Will
Handle Seeds, But Merely Super
vises the Loans, the Borrower
to Purchase at Any Place.

FargO.-The area from which appli-
cations for seed loans will be consid-
cred under the federal law appropriate
ing $2000,00O, will be restricted to
counties where drouth conditions in
1920 created need for federal aid.
c. w. Warhurton, in charge of the
field office at Fargo for the distribu-
ton of tile fund appropriated by con-
gress, announces that no applications
will be considered from counties lying
east Of Rolette, Pierce, Sheridan, Kid
der and Emmons, except that the
western portion of Benson and Wells
counties will be considered as lying
within the drouth district.
Only for the Needy.
This decision is based on the fact
that the fund was voted, by congress
strictly for the relief Of those that
lost their 1920 crops because of drouth
and who cannot finance their seeding
in any other way.
Crops in 1920 and previous years
were better in eastern North Dakota
than in the section west of the line
indicated, and because of good yields
prior to 1920 and the fact that farm
ers generally are better established in
the eastern portion of the state, it is
believed that needy individuals or
communities there that had short
crop in 1920 can be financed locally.
Farmers Select Own Seed.
1t is not the intention that the
federal agent shall handle seeds. His
work will be to arrange the loans by
which needy farmers will obtain the
money for the purchase of the seeds
they may require. The purchases may
be made from any source that the
| farmers themselves may select.
If the funds had been available at
an earlier date, it is quite likely that
arrangements wodld have been made
to buy the seeds in large quantities
and ship to the needy area in carlots,
that costs might be reduced, but the
fact that the bill providing the appro-
priation was not approved until March
makes such action impracticable.
