BY LLOYD ALLEN.

LONDON-The announcement OF
the betrothal Of Princess Mary only
daughter OF King George and Queen
Mary. to Viscount Lascelles, caught
the popular Imagination as few
purely royal-society items OF news
could be expected to do nowadays
Every class felt that II had cause
for congratulation.
First, there was the very general
feeling Of satisfaction that the
monarch's daughter had been per-
mitted to choose an Englishman,
instead Of being condemned 20
high politicai-diplomati and GER
tainly loveless alliance with foreign
royalty. There was endless Joy for
the women-foik OF the country In
picturing the princess who gives up
royal status "for love alone"
Madame may sneer. but she loves TO
think OF the princess marrying a
"commoner." Also there was the
qualification OF the sporting Gle
ments (and all Englishmen are
sportsmen). that the Princess Is
marrying a sportsman" Let a
man earn the title OF sportsman"
and he is persona grata to all Eng
lishmen, regardless OF rank or
wealth There is the JOY OF the
aristocracy that the royal family
should be thrown into the market
for alliances with their set instead
OF being reserved for the blood
royal" And England's aristocracy
now confidently looks forward to ar
ranging marriages with some. II not

relatives There are the elation OF
royal and semi-royal circles-en-
dorsed, Ironically enough. by the

future without the aid OF state
grants For II is freely admitted
on all hands that a large and needy

LAND BANK LEGAL

The supreme court has turned down
The suit brought by the mortgage
brokers' against the federal farm loan
bank. Bank activities, which have
oeen suspended by this suit for more
han year. can now be resumed.
Mortgage brokers based their case
mainly on the allegation that exemp-
zion Of federal land bank bonds was
class legislation.
It is too early yet to form any opin-
ION as to how much relief hard-pressed
farmers may expect from early re-
opening of the different land banks.
There is strong possibility that the
money trust will make 1t nearly as
hard for the federal land bank to dis
pose of its bonds as 1t Is for the Bank
II North Dakota.
Perhaps it is not generally known
,hat in late 1917 the federal land bank
vas on the point of closing for this
reason, but the war demand for more
:ood production forced congress to
provides the banks with $100,000,O00
Having failed to blockade the money
market, the mortgage brokers then
brought the suit which has just been
settled in favor of the bank.
AS soon as the decision became
snown the senate struck from the ap'
preparation bill an amendment au
.horizing the treasury department to
purchase $10O,0O00O0 of federal land
bank bonds. Senator Warren of Wy

he appropriation was now unneces
,ary. Thus we have another good IL
nstration of how fast the money trust
