EXPLAINS PARADOX
IN LOAN MEASURE
Mrs. Archibald Hopkins
Shows How Bill Will HeIp
Poor Man.

Pointing out that the "Commis-
sioners' bill" to permit pawnbroking
in the District (known as H.R.
,5015) will meet the present stu
alton here intelligenuy. and criti-
cising certain points in suggested
changes to that bill, Mrs. Archibald
Hopkins, a member of the citizens
committee on remedial legislation. is
sued the following statement:
Although it sounds like a paradox
for the citizens committee on reme-
dial loan law to seek to aid poor
borrowers by the passage of the
Commissioners bill. H.R. 5015, making
stead of the 1 per cent to which
it is limited in the present law, this
rate will really be a reduction, be-
cause such borrowers cannot now
get the money at all without going to
Virginia for it, and paying 3 per
unless they have diamonds. watches
or jewelry to put up as security.
1.-The present law was asked for
to enable small borrowers to get
money at 2 per cent on indorsed
notes or other security and there is
no reason why a man who IS in
on a note indorsed by fellow en-
ploye, instead Of being obliged to
put up his watch. and go without
the use of it until the money is
repaid, and pay 3 per cent for the
money, as he will be If the pawn
brokers' bill' Mr.. Focht is insist
ing on is passed.
In the Congressional Record of
August Z, 1911, it was stated by one
of the House members that pawn
brokers were to be included in the
bill which became the present law
because the House District committee
considered the rate OF per cent they
were then getting cAorbitant. and
would limit them to ? per cent. Mr.
Focht, on February II. 1912. and after
the pawnbrokers hal oeen taken in.

per cent asked for by the citizens

1T seems plain that the only INTEL

Is by passing the Commissioners bill.

AMERICAN STARS VISIT
HOLY LAND TO FILM THE
STORY Of KING DAVID

By the Associated Press.
JERUSALEM, March 10.-Twenty
stars Of the American film world
arrived in Jerusalem recently to
prepare for the filming of the Old
Testament story Of King David. The
big scene in the play is to be the
fight between David and Goliath,
which will be staged a few miles
north of this city. Biblical accuracy
Is not strictly to be adhered to, since
the scenario provides a love scene
after the battle.
About 5000 persons are to be en-
ployed in. the filming of the play:
5000 sheep, 1000 camels and 1000
goats are also to be used.
This will be the first time a pro-
duction of this magnitude has been

ST. PAUL STOCK MARKET

After a higher start on Monday this
week the hog market reacted on fol-
lowing days on account Of dull and de-
Ginning markets on the dressed pro-
duct and a consequent falling off in
eastern shipping demand. Prices pre-
vailing at the close Of this week are
on the average about Csc lower than a

ly at $3.50 to $10.15, packing sows
around $3.50 to SO, aand desirable pigs
at about $10.25. After dragging up to
mid-week, the cattle market displayed
some strength on closing days due to
lighter receipts and beef steers and
butcher she stock closed strong to Csc
higher than a week ago. One small
lot of choice fat yearlings brought
$3.50 on Friday, topping the weeks
deal. Fat cattle were scarce and very

SUM Err

The possibility of getting a pasture
for the coming summer by putting in
sweet clover with one bushel of early
oats per acre as a nurse crop is sug-
gested by DR.. A. N. Hume, State col
lege ~agronOmist, to the South Dakota
farmer who must provide spring, sum
mer and ever fall pasture for a lot of
stock consisting of cattle, colts and
sheep accumulated during the past
few years.
use 10 pounds of clean seed Of
| sweet clover per acre, OF increase the
amount somewhat in case the hulls
! are still on the seed" is DR.. Hume's
suggestion. "In case you expect to
leave the land for pasture in the fol-
lowing years, you a add some tim
othy and bluegrass seed, but | judge
from your inquiry that it is only the
present season o have in mind.
The oats will terminate early if
you SOW the mixture now as soon as
the ground is in shape and the sweet
clover will come up in the oats a little
later. Let the oats do considerable
growing before turning in on it and
also let the sweet clover have a good
chance to terminate and come up. CUse
sCarified seed.) When you turn in on
the oats and sweet clover, first be
sure that the ground is not muddy
and if the stock have eaten the oats
down somewhat, take them off and
put them on your other pasture in
order that they shall not tramp the
sweet clover clear out while the plants
are small. Then turn them back after
a week or two, being careful that the
ground is not muddy when they are
turned in.
1T is my belief baseC on some ex-
p~erience with sweet clover and also
with others who have used it for pas
ture that the plan | have suggested

WEEKLY CROP REPORT

We are now at the beginning Of an
other crop season in the northwest.
There is a large amount Of moisture
in the ground and in the dry districts
of western North Dakota and parts Of
Montana, there is more moisture, than
for a number of years past.
Owing to the cold weather and wet
condition of the soil, spring work has
been RETARDED. During the past few
days, blowing has started in a few
seeding has been done. This year it
is possibly ten days to two weeks
later than last year. This, however,
is not a bad indication.
In some former years, while seeding
started much earlier, it was after
wards delayed by cold weather and
rains. The conditions at present are
similar to those of the big crop year
Of 1915. 1t was practically the first or
May, in that year, before seeding was
finished.
The recent advance in prices Of
farm products has given farmers new
hope. Indications point to a total
acreage slightly under last year. In
some districts Of Montana and in
western North Dakota where farmers
have had several crop failures, seed
and feed are difficult to obtain. For
this reason it will be impossible for
some farmers to SOW as much as they
wish, although they are receiving
some federal aid. In these districts,
a considerable amount OF livestock has
been lost because of the severe win
ter and lack of feed.
Winter wheat in Montana is report
ed in very good condition. Winter rye
throughout the territory came through
in excellent shape, and with a large
acreage the prospects for this crop
are very good at present. II W. have
warm drying weather, the farmers
will be able to get into their fields
and complete their seeding very
rapidly.

some Of the road was being filled. The
story is told by a Sioux Valley farmer
who had friends from Iowa visiting
him a few weeks ago, when the water
was so deep. The farmer and his
Iowa friends were out looking over
the farm and wading in the water up
to their hips. The Iowa friends re-
marked that there must be some very
large fish around here. The farmer
asked him what made him think SO,
and the Iowan pointed to some very
large bubbles coming up through the
water a short distance away. The
farmer there upon remarked: Heck,
those bubbles aren't from fish, that's

MOSCOW FACING
 MISERY PERIOD
Struggle for Existence Bitter.
 Much Crime

Moscow, Jan. 5.-Signs grow as the winter deepens that even Moscow faces a long period of misery, not withstanding the conditions here are far better than any where else in Central Russia.
 The struggle for food and clothing is still absorbing. They are the only things that count. Home, family ties and obligations, friendship, ant, poli tics, public and private ambitions all are subiugated to these two ele- mental needs.
 Most Russians are convinced that the mere return to free trade and capitalism will not right the wrongs the country has suffered nor the sgn- ing of new orders bring back the old life of the peasant the bourgeois and the noble nor make Russians again a wealthy people.
 The struggle for existence Is so bit ter that few have time to give much thought to the future. The needs of today are too pressing in such cases, for example. as the former wealthy noble and his wife from Smolensk who now live without fire or food in a Moscow garret which the husband can not leave because he has no shoes His wife speaks half a dozen languages yet she can find no em- ployment.
 In the same condition is a woman who once owned 200 miles of land fronting on the Caspian Sea. Arrest cd as a spy, separated from her hus- band and children and shipped North to die, she is eking out an existence
