Amendment No. 1.

a state farm loan system such
as adoption Of Amendment No. I
will authorize is needed # Mime
sofa farmers are MOTTO be serious
" handicapped because Of the
growing peril Of tax-exempt secur-
tiles, according to Theodore Chris
tionson Of Dawson, Mimi, father
of the law under which the amend
ment is submitted November
The practice Of issuing tax-ex-
empt securities and their populari-
ty among large investors, says
Nj. Christensen, is going to
make it impossible, eventually, for
farmers to get loans upon real es-
tate, unless they can get them thru
the issuance Of governmental Sc
.curities. Life insurance companies,
whose SURPRISES in the past, have
been largely invested in farm mort
cages, now are beginning to. invest
In these tax free bonds, instead Of
in farm mortgages.
therefore, is increasingly
important that we set up a state
system Of rural credits, admins
tered BY the state to finance farm
.ers even il the inadequate way in
which they have been financed
heretofore. The increased interest
rates on farm mortgages reflect
this preference for tax-exe1npt Sc
.curities.
It is true that the tax-exernpt
feature should be eliminated, but
Until that is done--and there IS no
telling when that step will be ia

in operation, farmers needing loans
will be in position to cope with the

How "a Use Soft Coal Ia
Your Furnace.

lOuT FU1Al60S
Al large number of hotiseholdsirl
1.-The Northwest WILDE cofllpelledst'oG
Use soft coal ii their furnaces this
winter, because they cannot obtain
1.-THE hard variety.
The. United States Bureau OF
Mines has been experimenting
with the two varieties, and have
demonstrated that the soft coal can
be used To good advantage, and
Fat a lower cost than anthracite.
Disadvantage Of bitufninous
local is that if is dirty TO handle,
hut this can Be rernedied ii part
Iby spriinkling before-putting "a the
furnace.
The Bureau gives out the fol
lowing information, which will be
useful to those who are using soft
local this season:
When using soft coal instead Of
in the domestic furnace, it
will be necessary to use an entire
lIy different method of firing. In
stead Of leveling the fuel bed and
putting on fresh coal il an even
Ilayer over the entire fire box, the
cooked and partly burned coal re-
naming from the previous firing
should be pushed as much as posi-
bic to one side Of the fire box, and
the fresh coal thrown into the
empty side 50 as to leave some Of
the burning coal exposed In this
way the fresh coal is heated slow
Fly, the volatile gases are given off
gradually, and are ignited by the
burning coal instead Of going to
waste up the chimney unburned.
After a little experimenting, it
will be found possible, with most
furnaces, to fire so that at the next
firing it will be found that the bed
of coke has become built up on one
side Of the furnace, and the other
side i comparatively empty. If
this can be brought about, the fresh
coal can be thrown into the empty
side without first pushing the cooked
coal back to one side. However, if
it is desired to heat the house
quickly, say on a cold morning, the
coke should be broken up and pull
ed in an even layer across the en-
tire CRATE, and be allowed to burn
there until the house is heated. It
can then be pushed on one side and
fresh coal added.
The proper regulation Of drafts
varies so much with every COM
bination Of furnace, chimney and
kind Of coal, that it can be deter
mined only by trial. In general,
regulate the fire as much as posi-
BILE. by the damper, check draft
and ash pit door, not BY opening
the fire door wide. Immediately
after firing, the fire door should be
left partly open until smoking has
stopped, but ordinarily the fire
door grid will admit sufficient air
over the fire. By opening the grid
n the. ash pit door, more or less,
the combustion may be made more
rapid or retarded. To get a hot
frethe grid should be opened wide
and to check the fire so as to carry
It over night, it should be almost
closed. The exact amount the grid
IS opened to produce the desired
results can be determined only BY
trial.
Do not clean the FIRE oftener
than necessary For the average
soft coal, shaking down the ashes
will be required only once a day
and then shake only until the glow
lot the fire is seen in the ash Dit,
not until burning Goals appear. Pull
out clinkers from time: to time.
t will be found that SCOT and
flle ashes accumulate quite rapid
y on the heating surfaces Of the
