The wonders and enjoyment Of
Listening in" may be brought to the
Esauimaux by Captain Amundsen.
discoverer of the South Pole. who
has sailed from Seattle bound for
the frozen north where he will make
an aerial survey Of the North Pole.
For this purpose, an Exide battery
OF fifty-six cells has been included
among his equipment which was
loaded a few days ago on Amund.
sens good ship Maude. This battery,
according to information reaching b.
C. Mackey, manager Of the local
Exide Service Station, 10 to be used
also for radio communication with
Washington and 10 to furnish electric
light during the three years Captain
Amundsen expects 20 sojourn in the
polar regions.
While II will not be possible to get
any Of the regularly broadcasted con.
certs for. the benefit of his Esqui-
maux neighbors. Captain NAmundsen
will, however. be able to put them
In touch with the nearest point,
which will probably be Nome, Alaska.
1t Is also probable that he may

maux music which may be picked up
by those within 1000 miles. the
radius of his transmitting apparatus.
In addition. Captain Amundsen
will keep in touch with Washing.
ton four times a day. His radio
messages will be sent and received
by relay from Nome to st. Paul
Station. on the Bering sea, and
thence to Washington.
The electric lights which Amund.
sen will install upon his arrival
will. however. no longer be a nov.
city for the Esquimax who already
have been acquainted with this
modern form of illumination. In
1914 the Crocker land expedition,
headed by Capt. Donald Macmillan. n.
took a number of Exide batteries
with them. and for the first time
in the history Of the world the Au.
rora Borealis had q rival in the
form Of electric illumination. A
few months ago Captain Macmillan
returned to the North and again
took an electric lighting system, in
cluding Exides. with him.

CLOSED CAR DEMAND
BIGGEST IN HISTORY

According to James J. Hunt, preei-
dent Of the Hunt Motor Car Com.
pany, Of New York, and metropoli-
tan distributor for the Rickenbacke
car, the closed car demand is the
biggest in the history Of the auto
mobile trade.
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker this
spring predicted this condition, and
began production at the factory in
Michigan to anticipate the drive.
This has placed the Rickenbacker
company In a strong position to meet
the demand.
This is particularly true of the
New York situation.

LET THE WINDOWS PREACH

Electric lighting experts have turn.
ed lately to devices for the illumina-
ton of church windows They have
perfected flood lights and regulating
time switches so that churches, ordi-
narily open for only a few hours each
week but otherwise dark and dismal
may preach through their stained
glass windows every night, reminding
the people that there are churches
and that there is God.
Many churches already have equip
ped their most beautiful windows so
that they may be lighted from with
out and their charming colors brought
out for evening worshippers as beauti-
fully as when day light shines through
them. The new idea of making every
church a nightly beacon on the road
to better living involves little more
is in the time switches
only, and they are merely to save
someone the trouble of switching the
lights on and off
The idea of lighted churches every
night is pleasant, and the expense
may be trivial that, even in these
days when we are every day adding
new and pleasant things to our exist
ence and finding the sum total bur
1ensOme, we wonder why we haven't
thought of this and put it in practice

IDAHO BORROWS MUCH
FROM FARM L0ANIBANk

(, Washington, Jan. 9.-While two
other farm loan banks in the United
States have loaned a slightly larger
total of money, the Twelfth district
bank at Spokane, which serves the
farm loan owners of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana, accom-
modated the largest number of bor-
rowers from the time of it's organiza-
ton to October 81, 1921 These facts
were contained in a report of Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon to con-
gress today.
The Spokane bank served 17,478
borrowers in the four states, lending
a total of $50,919,693 New Orleans
stood second and the st. Paul bank
third in the number of borrowers.
The number of borrowers, the amount
applied for and the amounts granted
in the Twelfth district by states dur
ing the period mentioned were as fol-
lows:
Idaho Borrowed ST., 129.11O
Idaho-Borrowers 1868; applied
for, 1925, 2S0; granted $12,129,11O.
Montana-Borrowers 1854 applied
for $14,839,722; granted, 1875, OO0
Oregon-Borrowers, 33713. applied
for, 14,839,732; granted, $12,667, 453.
hington-Borrowers 5248; APP
piled for, $16,027 ,O45; granted, $14,-
248,O40
AS upholding the good judgment of
the appraisers of the bank in the fix
ing the loan value of farms, the report
shows th"t in the year from Novem-
Der 80, 1920, to November 80, 1921,
S13 farms in the four states on which
loans had been made were sold for a
total of S6,664 34S. The appraisers
valued these farms at total of
$5,592,993, against which loans were
granted aggregating $2,215,075.
Authority to make loans direct to
borrowers in communities where far
mers, in need of government assist
ance, are not properly served by ma
tional farm loan associations, is re-
quested of congress by the board in
it's report.
Many complaints have been received
the report stated. that borrowers are
not receiving consideration from as
sociations through which, under ex-
listing laws, they are required to ne
gotiate for loans.
The report also recommended that
provision be made for voluntary
liquidation of farm loans associations
on petition of a majority of the share
holders and urged enactment of legis-
atiOn creating corporation of which ,
federal land banks would be share
holders, for the taking over of the |
buying and selling of farm loan Sc
,urities.
