ON THE FIRST BOUND
-WITh CLERKIN.

Bill Sweeney, the local knockout artist, says he is getting tired of wait ing for Jack Midgeon to post the re- quired s1oo for the proposed bout which is under discussion. "I put my century up several days ago, and that guy who had so much money to yelp about out at the carnival q few days ago is still shy in the pot" is the way Sweeney talks regarding Midgeon's al- legged failure to put up his jack.
 Michael J. Souney, chairman of the local boxing commission said yester- day afternoon that he had not at that time received Midgeon's $100 forfeit.
 The fans can take it on the word of the writer that in the event of Swee- ney and Midgeon coming to terms, and meeting in the padded ring, hard fought battle will be witnessed. These two local boxers think about as much of each other as Bud Weafer and Battling kunz of Norwalk. Neither is Sweeney or Midgeon a world beater in the ring, but they will provide plenty

LABOR IN POLITICS
Executive Council of A. F. l.. Con- siders Plan For Activity in Fall Elections.

Atlantic City, Sept. l3.-The exc cutive council of the American Fed eration of Labor today had under con sderation a program of political ac- tvity in the fall elections.
 Members of the council predicted that labor will designate at least so candidates for senatorial and congress sional seats now occupied by men who, they declare, are opposed to the aims and ideals of the American Fed eraton of Labor.
 That the federation will attempt by an affiliation with the farmer vote to become an important factor in the presidential campaign of 1924, is a foregone conclusion among the labor chiefs here. They declare that their selection of a candidate for the presi dency wouA be "a startling surprise to followers of the old parties.

CHAPTER XxXuI.

For q month which was one sus-
pended moment of doubt she saw
Erik only casually, at an Eastern Star
dance, at the shop, where. in the
presence of Nat Hicks, they conferred
with immense particularly on the
significance of having one or two bur-
tons on the cuff Of Kennicotts New
Suit. For the benefit of beholders
they were respectfully
p Thus barred from him, depressed
in the thought of Fern, Carol was
suddenly and for the first time con-
WINGED that she loved Erik.

ng'things which he would say il he

afraid to summon him. He. under

her every doubt of him and her dis
comfort in his background. Each day
1t seemed impossible to get through
the desolation OF not seeing him.
Each morning, each afternoon, each

NO ZERO RATIO POSSIBLE.

Among the comments OF disarmament and re-
|duction of armament, the following may be accepted
as a sample OF the expression OF an impractical view
which has been confusing and which is bound, more
than any other single thing, to delay real progress
toward the of universal peace. This
comment reads in part:
1--WE don't disarm our civilian population we
simply don't arm them. The way for nations to
prevent war is to have no weapons with which
to hight. IT no nation had a battles,ip for pro-
lection no other national would need battle
ship. The idea that we must have battleships
to protect us from naval aggression falls fiat if
there are no battleships to do any aggrcssius.
If 5-5-3, why not 0-0-0?". .@
This is all very fine. If every national were will
ling to give up all its armament, no nation would
perhaps need any armament. The fact is that all the
nations are not willing to do this. The reasons why
they are unwilling are varied. Some Of them may be
illogical, but such as they are, they exist. Nations
are going to continue for a period of time the
length OF which no one can foresee. If one nation
insists on maintaining some armament, what is to
hinder! 1t will scarcely be proposed that the other
nations should disarm that particular nation by
IN the nature OF armament, and short of force there
can be no compulsion. Without compulsion, at
least some nations will not disarm. The situation
therefore is that some nations are. going to main
tam armament. Therefore in order to preserve a
safe balance, all nations must do likewise.
The problem before the world now is not that of
abandoning armament. 1t is simply that of reducing
armament to the lowest figure which the natioas
will accept as being consistent with their own
safety.
It has sometimes been suggested that the
United States, acting alone, might set an example to
civilization by destroying all. its rmament and
standing forth before the world with bare hands, an
|exempliheation of the spirit of peace on earth and
good will toward men. Had we been in this posi-
ton a few years ago. there might have been some

DIMINISHING INTEREST RATES.

- FROM time i,nmenorial interest has been tht
VS. bugbear of the debtor. No matter how many hours
Iou a day, or hsw many days in the year the borrower
mel ness works, the interest bearing token is putting in still
the more time. Interest accumulates while the Dor
n = snnrower sleeps, while he eats, as we'll as while he
wiIWorks. But there is a marked difference between
1.-THE ordinary interest rates of today and those OF a
Nh few years ago, especially in the newer sections OF
fenthe country. Early residents Of the northwest can
remember when 10 and - per cent were ordinary
uss1nterest rates, and when, IN order to borrow money
theat those rates, it was necessary to pay a substal-
adsosstial premium, usually in advance.
ths The state farm loan department has arranged
waa schedule of payments on farm loans in which in
sseterest is computed at 6H per cent. Under the
acknowledgment plan prepared, by the payment an
ooffSsnua1ly of s per cent Of the amount borrowed the
Grsloan is paid. principal and interest, in a little over
lea26 years. Under the conditions OF a few years ago
tthMsthc borrower might pay annually 50 per cent more
~offt1an this sum. and keep Oh paying it forever, with
T{pa.out reducing his capital indebtedness by a dollar.
the Undoubtedly seine OF the exorbitant interest
theoayrnents Of the past We're due to the INSCRIPTIONS
ftsuTness of some individuals, who were always ready
ttto take advantage of the necessities and the mis-
ss.,fortunes of their neighbors. But that was not the
ffatsole cause for high rates. The northwest was un-
baknoWn territory. Land values were predetermined.
- 1.-THE productiveness of the country had not been es-
Established. The man who loaned money on a
eoahorthwestern farm took long chances. There were
rrnaattl,ose who were willing to take the chance provided
Nathey were given a corresponding opportunity to
daeeggain largely if the speculation-for it was a specu-
aL1ation-turned out we'll. In other words they ex-
-,pected to be paid for assuming a risk.
az The risk was by no means imaginary. There
tioare thousands OF western farms on which money
ooaa,was loaned in those days, and on which the mort
engages were foreclosed because the owner was I'M
yraable to pay, which were subsequently sold for much
eat:less than the face of the original mortgage. The
Urender actually obtained possession of the farm for
sSta1he amount of his loan, and lost money in doing so.
st,Every old settler knows of numerous instances of
Gerhis kind.
VS. The change that has taken place is due in large
measure to the general stabilizing Of credit. The
Hman who lends money in moderate AMOUNTS on
good northwestern farm land today does so in the
knowledge that he is lending on security of the very
best sort. He is certain to be repaid. Hence
thithere is no risk for which he must be compensated.

SAVING DOCKAGE AT HOME.

err The subject OF dockage in grain is one which
linaas caused a great deal Of controversy and has
to solve. 1t has been charged that because
AoDf the presence of a small quantity of foreign mat
FER in carloads of wheat, the producer has been as
-;essed entirely disproportionate amounts, and has
On effect been robbed OF a considerable part of the
value of his product. Efforts have been made to
guard against this, and among the tempt made
$ one made in this state providing that grain shall
pc cleaned at the elevator and that the owner shall
Pc paid tor his dockage or permitted to retain it.
Il The fact that the value of dockaee for feeding
=r other purposes has been grossly exaggerated
pas been demonstrated by the attitude of farmers
oward the subject when rendered the return of the
orelg1 material. Grain has been cleaned in the
.levator and upon the demand of the farmer for
9ayrnent TOT the dockage, payment has been
efused on the ground that the material was of NO
'alue to the elevator, but the farmer was invited
o help himself and take the stuff home. In very
many cases, this was not done, the farmer being OF
he same opinion with the elevator man that the
aockage was not of sufficient value to him to war
Sant shoveling it up and hauling it back.
The department of agriculture through several
+ its agencies has been %devoting a great deal Of at
%entlon to this subject and has been working to-
yard the development of processes by which grain
naaly De effectively cleaned while being threshed
his is manifestly the logical plan, providing suit
bic methods can be devised, and mechanical de-
n1ces have now been perfected which seem to be
l!dequate for this purpose. If this is done, only
lean gram VIII be marketed, or at least grain with
very Insignificant percentage of foreign material.
he work will be done right in the farmers field
nd there will be no cause for hauling the worthless
latter to the elevator or for its shipment bv rail
p mills or terminals. The dockage will remain at
LONE and whatever its value may be, the farmer
al realize that full value without any attendant
Expense. The department is deeply interested IL
fie promotion of this method of handling and has
een. conducting experiments all over the country
pr this purpose. The plan is apparently feasible
at present developed, and as the mechanical de-
ices arc improved It will be still more easy for the
so It for what it is worth and send his cleaned
