Of Primo ess Mary to Visc6unt Lascel-

SENIORS BEAT FRESHMEN
I'm lNTER.CLASS FINAL
Lower Classmen and Juniors
Are Now Tied for Honors;
Early Dope Upset

Contrary to carly expectations, the
Freshmen we're defeated by the Sc
niors in the sixth game OF the inter
class tournament conducted by the
high school for the silver trophy Of
fered by the Barker Drug and Jewel
ry store. The lower classinen, al
though considered the favorte for the
series, came out Thursday evening on
the short end of a 10 to II score.
The result is that the Juniors and
Freshmen are tied for 'inter-class
.honors, each having won two and lost
one game. Had the Freshmen won
Thursday night, that squad would
have annexed the trophy for this
year. As it iss the coaches are still
undecided as to how the tournament
will be settled, since they realize that
more practice must be given the reg
.ular high school team right after the
Christmas vacation to put that squad
into better shape for the inter-schoo oil
games. .E ~. ..
The score at the end of the first
half was 7 to in favor Of the Sc
niors. The lower classmen failed to
stage comeback as was expected
and the Seniors lead was increased.

classmen in the last period, was part

spring Of 1921 with reference, to the
Federal Farm Loan Bonds being tax
exempt has had the effect Of again.
bringing activity into the various
/. branches Of the National Farm Loan
associations. The Bemidji National
Farm Loan association, which was
formed in May 1917, is now actively
engaged in securing farm loans for
those who are, applying for them and
have the necessary values in their
land to permit the loaning of money
according to the requirements Of the
loan association. "a 5. !.
The organization Of the loan assol
citation is affected by ten or more
farmers entering into an agreement
to borrow money to the minimum of
1 $40, 900 on their farms, each under
writing the loans Of the others, and
each being Jointly and severally re-
sponsible for the payment of the
loans, The loans are made on prop
critics where adequate security is
shown to conform to the demands of
the Federal.Land bank and the loans
do not exceed SO per cent Of the value
y Of such farms. 81 s. IL >sG @.5
The interest rate '-on the loans is 6
per cent. One per cent Of the loan
is charged. for the expense incidental
! to making the loan which means that
!. the farmer gets his loan at a rate of
- per cent interest. The interest is
payable se1lii-annually at the rate Of
\ $354 per 81 900 loan, or $40. for the
year. A first mortgage is taken on
the land for the loan and per cent
on the principal is required to be paid
each year, but after a period Of five
years a larger payment may be made
on the principal. The loan must be
carried on the property for at least
. five years, otherwise a penalty for
a shorter loan will be required. This
is done to provide against the extra
expense Of making many short time
]. loans which entail more. expense than
. making loans for a longer period.

ing is their business; in other words,
that they are supporting themselves
and their families by their farms and
improving their farms and making
them better security for the loans
