The sentiment of the regular

Of directors of the National
Coal Association today was
overwhelmingly against Presi-

IN the present coal strike.
Costs would be increased thirty

to breathe; or on things where they can mingle
with the dust which may be stirred up, float in
the air and be taken into the respiratory pass
ages and in that way reach the lungs.
1T is known that extremes of temperature,
either cold or hot, together with dampness, have
a lowering effect upon the resistance of the in
dividual to pneumonia infection. In overheated
and poorly ventilated living places and work
places are found the conditions which seem to
be favorable for the spread of the disease. Over
heated air is always lacking in moisture and
breathing it dries the mucous membranes of the
air passages, thus causing the condition which
invites not only pneumonia, but other respiratory
ailments
Here are some seasonable suggestions which,
if followed, will help you to escape pneumonia:
81 Be regular in your habits of living as to
diet and proper rest.
90 Avoid undue and prolonged exposure to
wet and cold.
"3 Get as much exercise in the open air as
you can.
a. Dress so that you will feel comfortable
in the house and equally as comfortable when out
of doors in a lower temperature.
"5. Keep your living rooms at temperature
not exceeding 70 degrees. For people in normal
health and properly clad, 60 degrees is better.
SO. Keep your feet dry and warm.
az Do not cough or sneeze in anyone's> face
or allow others to cough or sneeze in your imme-
date presence.
49, Finally, remember that pneumonia is
highly contagious and that there are persons who
are carriers and that when they sneeze or cough
openly in the air close to you, you are in danger
of becoming infected.
by observing these suggestions you car
greatly lessen your chances of Catching pneu-
monia and be more likely to get through the win
ter without needing the services of the under
taker."

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20.-The
importance of information concerning
investments to the people who are put
ting up the money is resulting in the
gradual compilation of series OF re-
ports on the soil and other conditions
of American farms. One of Benja.
min Franklin's wise sayings was:
"If you would know the value of mon
ely, go out and try to borrow some. :
DR.. Franklins insight into this great
economic fact was clear, as will be
learned by any investigator who in.

which money lenders, whether indt-
vidual, corporate or governmental.
study the character of security Of
fered.
This care to protect investments is
responsible for the studies now being
made which will place in the hands
of the Federal Farm Loan Board at
Washington the most detailed infor-
nation concerning the farm lands OF
this country which probably ever has
been made concerning any region In
the world.
Under the farm loan act farmers
may borrow money from Federal Land
Banks and from Joint Stock Land
Banks on the security of their farms
The law takes particular care to safe
guard these loans. An elaborate or
ganization is maintained by the dozen
Federal Land Banks and the score oil
Joint Stock Land Banks scattered over
| the country to determine the precise

curity for desired loans. The founda,
| ton of the Federal Farm Loan System
rests on some four thousand Nationa
Farm Loan Associations. Under the
| law, these voluntary associations Of
| farmers may obtain loans for theil
members all of whom must be far

| TEN.
When an application for a loan i;
! passed on by the Farm Loan Associa
ton, it goes to the nearest Fedora
Land Bank and that institution sends
out an appraiser who is selected from
persons residing in the neighborhoot
from which the application for tht
loan comes. He must be a man ia
miliar with land values The farm OF
fered as security is carefully examined
to determine its value and the informa
ton filed with the Federal Land Banl
and finally forwarded to the Farm
Loan Board at Washington.

stantly are coming in and PRACTICAL!
every county in the United States nov
has at least one of these loans. Thi
means that the Farm Loan organiza
ton has a report on at least one farm
in every county in the country. Il

Data on Farm Values
Federal Land Banks Take Particular Care to Safeguard
Loans Made to Farmers.

many counties reports are on file con-
corning almost every farm.
The reports show what kinds OF
soils are found en- the farm involved.
They show whether the rand is adapt
able to grain, pasture, fruit growing,
truck-gardening or other agricultural
use. Frequently the expert apprais,
er will be able to learn more about the
land in the course of his inspection
than the fnexpert farmer who has
lived there all his life. A farmer may
think his land is excellent for num-
Der of purposes and the appraiser viii
discover it has been overworked with
out fertilization and that its product
iveness is about at an end. In such q
case, the loan approved will be low.
On the other hand, the expert may
find a farm of which the farmer has
a relatively low opinion and on the Sc
curity of which be asks little. 1t may
develop that the farmer has been
planting the wrong kind of crops to
suit the land and that If some other
produce were put in, the same sol
would bring greater yields. All these
| elements enter into the examination
and bring into the files Of the Federal
Farm Loan System a wealth of infor
nation which ultimately will cover
most of the country, If not every
! farm.
When that is accomplished, 1t will

ords, to discover just what farm In

it is watered or arid, what the trans

other pertinent data

therefore, consultation of these rec

most any farm in the country.

Pneumonia Season Here-Be Careful

Pneumonia like consumption, is a house dis
ease; also it is dirty air disease, says bulletin
Of the Chicago health department, which con-
tinues: s
ea This assertion is supported by both the
morbidity and mortality figures which show I'M
varyingly year after year the seasonal rise and
decline in the city's pneumonia death rate These
figures also serve to show that during the sum
mer months, the open air season, pneumonia in
both cases and deaths reaches its lowest ebb and
that SO soon as the shut-in season comes, these
figures begin mounting steadily month by month
until the open air season comes again.
I'm connection with the number of deaths in
Chicago due to this dirty air disease, it is Of
interest to note that last year there were re-
ported to tne-department 1886 cases, with 2,164
deaths, So far this year, up to November there
have been 8,145 cases, with 2,085 deaths. The
figures for 1922 indicate that at the present rate
of increase since September the total cases and
deaths for this year will exceed last years fig
ures.
GAS is known, pneumonia is deadly disease.
It kills its victims in short order. And because
this is true and because enoughsis now known
about it to enable people to avoid it, it should
command the thoughtful attention of everyone.
Pneumonia is caused by a germ which is con-
veyed from one to another The patient or well

nose, by careless coughing, sneezing and spit

WINTER QUARTERS


Oh, the SIiliman case is over,
The world pennant race is run,
The tennis stars have quit us,
And the footballs almost done
All the strikes seem to be settled,
And the election now is past;
They've agreed upon the tariff
And its agonies at last.
Foreign critics now are quiet,
And reformers do not yowl;
And the raging Turkish heather
Very soon will cease to hown.
We have heard from every statesman
And put up with every pest.

And enjoy little rest

the more congressman we have to

they are to become permanent relia-
BILE references.
Actually these reports win furnish
much data of human interest in the
lives and vicissitudes of the farming
population, if they are to be OF genuine
value. Suppose, for instance, that a
farmer borrows a substantial sum on
an excellent farm, to which excellence
much is contributed by the fine barns,
stables, graneries and other buildings
which stand upon 1t. Suppose, then.
these buildings are struck by light
ming and burned to the ground It will
be seen that the value of that mort
gage and the value of the farm have
been much impaired. The record at
Washington would be Incomplete and

tation made of the disaster. Further.

that should have its place IN the
record.
These records, as they grow, should
contain the material for all novels OF
rural life that the world could read.
Doubtless they will contain the rec
ords of generations of people as the
years pass. They should be Of the ut
most value to antiquarians of the fu-
ture. 1t will be recalled that the rural
parish records have been the most

The match stands there, balanced (see

The trick is done by secretly mois-
