way the banks work: If farmer wan,s "a loan, up to haf the appraised val, e of his land andA20 per cent of the ap- praised value ofrnis permanent and in surable improvements, he can get it from the Federal land banks at 54 per cent interest. To obtain the funds for lending. the banks. sell bonds at 45 per +cent. As these are "instrunentalities of the United States and are free from taxes, they sell readily in the great centers of population remote from farms, and the sale furnishes the banks with all the money they need to lend on farm security.
 The difference of 1 percent between the 4 per cent which the banks pay and the 54 per cent which they receive, forms large fund. Out of this fund the land banks pay their necessary -ex- penses first. What is left becomes aa amortization fund, the proper propor- ton of which is credited to each bor- rower. If the farmer is Tn position to pay ou HIS lodu duu liee ulnSeII from debt he can do so, and will find some discount awaiting him out of the amortization fund. If he never pays a cent on the princi pal-and that is the case with many farmers-slll he will find the debt paid of automatically out of the earnings of the fund, in a period computed at 42 or 43 years. In the meantime he feels secure. for the mort. gage on his farm can never be ''called" or foreclosed as long as the very mod crate interest of 54 per cent is kept paid. If the farmer dies before his loan is paid off, his heirs have the benefit of the.reduction the same as he would have had himself had he lived.

MONEY FOR
 FARMERS
Supreme Court Upholds the Federal Farm
 Bank Law.

Washington.-The farm loan land bank law is held to be constitutional in every particular, according to decision handed down by the Supreme Court.
 The constitutionalny of this law had been attacked by private loan com panies that do not like the Govern ment's competition in this field. for the Government gives the farmers4tnany advantages that the private companies will not give, such as lower rates of interest and plan by which the debt pays itself in sime, out of part of the interest.
 Gue of the chief points of attack was that part of the law which declares the bonds issued by the banks to- be ''in- strumentalities of the United Stateso and free from all taxes. The bonds are issued to investors in exchange for money to lend to farmers. The loans are secured by first mortgages on the farms. The mortgages, in turn, are 'pooled' as security forHhe bonds.
 This part of lhe law is upheld by the court, which says to exempt these bonds from taxationswas clearly within the pewep.Cf Congress.
 The Federal farm loan bill was passed fby Congress and. signed by President Wilson July r. 1916. Although cOu- .stantly crippled by the doubts thrown epon it's consttutlonality. it has been great success. and hundreds of millions of dollars have been lent to farmers. on terms very much to their advantage.
 The principle of these banks is to utilize the solid values of farm lands as a basis of investment of the funds that in the larger cities are always seeking safe investments even at very low rates of interest. The farm loan banks unlock for the farmers vast stores of capital which had never been availa ble for loans co farms.

Mr. Taft On Disarmament.

Speaking Of disarmament, former President Taft says
 "The enormous burdens of debt of every country makes it almost indis pensable that the necessity for arma- ment be removed. You can sonly do that by joint action and joint agree ments and by promises of settling agreements without fighting.
 "They are already discussing seri- ously in the United States an agree ment for disarmament or the limiting of armament, and strangely enough this comes, in part at least, from men who have been vigorously opposed to any league at all.
 '''I am very hopeful that under Mr. Harding we shall reach a conclusion with other leading nations for an asso- citation or league which shall mark the

Increase Idaho Crops

The department of Agriculture
says that it is within the range of
possibilities to increase Idaho's
grain crops within the next ten
years from an average of twenty
two million bushels per annum to
at least fifty millions. The potato
industry could easily be increased
from ten thousand to twenty thou
sand cars. The production of hay
is subject to an increase of at least
two million tons per annum, while
sugar beets and seeds have pcsslbili
ties beyond any accuracy of estl-
mate. The fruit Industry can easily
be increased at least two hundred
percent over its present yield, and
on account of our favorable climate
conditions, the same may be said
with greater emphasis of the dairy
and poultry products.

Promoting Snake Fight

Some of the young men of this
community are promonting a snake
fight. Scouts are on the look out
for a rattlesnake and bull snake
ard if two good physical specimens
can be found a fight to the death
will be staged. 1t is generally
believed IN these parts that bull
snake can kill rattlesnake IN fair
fight, but there are some who take
no stock in such ideas and want to
be shown. Some of the section men
tell OF witnessing fight last sum-
mer between big bull snake and
rattlesnake of equal proportions
and the bull snake finally whipped
his adversary. A snake fight ought
to be just as respectable as a prize
fight.

kendrick ii, Lewiston 6

The Lewiston Spots, the fastest
amateur team in Lewiston, went
down to defeat here Memorial Day
by a score of Ia to 6. The game
was not devoid of interest despite
the one-sided score. There was
spectacular playing at intervals by
players on both teams. Lewiston
had a dandy bunch of ball players
including White, Types and Hayes
of Lapwal and Tiffany of Cul desac.
The same team with Tiffany in the
box defeated Dayton last Sunday by
a score OF 3 to2.
Lewiston started the first inning
with score and Kendrick secured
three. In the second inning Kend-
rick had three men on bases and
Bulfinch at the bat. A clean home
run brought IN four scores. Lewis
ton pitched Holbrook for two nm
,ngs, then tried Hayes for two more
and finished the game with Bishop.
Kendrlck hit all three hard.
McCrery pitched the entire game
for Kendrick and did some great
work, striking out lO men and al
lowing out scattered hits. Kend-
rick secured II hits and only z men
struck out. Densow got 2 and
a 3 base hit, Mccall two 2 base hits
and Bultinch a home run.
PaImer's fielding was the feature
of the game. Out of numerous
chances he took them all. Carl
Carlson. second baseman for Kend-
rick made a sensational catch in
right field, catching the ball with
one hand after long run.
BY charging admission to this
game satisfactory ticket sale was
made so that the management made
expenses. Until this game the
collections did not pay expense of
games.

The kendrick ball team met with
disaster at Orofino last Sunday
when they suffered defeat by a score
of 9 to 3. The first half of the first
inning looked like walk-away for
"our side' when Orotino blew up
and allowed three runs on a COM
blnatlon string of errors seven
times long. However, they tight
ened up the rest Of the game and
held kendrlck to no more runs.
kendrick mad a fatal inning in
the 4th, allowing runs for Orotino.
The only hits secured by Orohno
were made in this inning but there
were three in bunch, which, COM
ing at a critical time, gave Oro-

overcome.
