Appearance OF Farm
Is What Counted

IF you will fix up your home
paint the house. set out some
trees and shrubbery and improve
the appearance of the place, you
will get more consideration from
the loan companies that put mon.
ey out on these Eastern Colorado
farms"
This is the way a banker put
the matter to an Eastern Colo
RADIO rural community recently,
in discussing development plans.
This banker gave a very practi.
cal turn to the advice which is so
frequently brought to farm aud.
fence by home demonstration
agents. Extension workers think
Of home Improvement from the
standpoint Of convenience. COM
fort and family content. but the
bankers argument was from .
new angle.
He said he had recently talked
to officers Of Denver trust com.
panies and asked them why
certain communities seemed
to be favored by larger loans on
lands which were not more pro-
ductive than the lands of neigh.
boring communities. where sums
loaned on farms were held to the
minimum. These Denver bank
ers declared that the home was
always taken into consideration;
that where evidence of neglect,
such ~ poorly built shscks, un.
painted houses or barns, run
down fences and absence of
machinery sheds were noticeable,
the borrowing capacity of the
farm owner was reduced, in com.
parison with a neighbor who
might have no better farm lands
but who gave proper attention to
keeAping the premises in good
condition and who provided a
dwelling for his family worthy
to be called home.

STUDENTS OF LOCAL SCHOOL
 START LETTER EXCHANGE

The students of the upper grades of Franklin K. Lane School have been writing letters to students in other schools. The object was two fold. In the first place, it was to give the student practice in letter writing and correct form, and in the second place, to acquaint Fthe child with other sections of the United States.
 Usually, whenever Q letter is mail ed from this school, it is accompan- led by a small box of Alaskan pro- ducts, such as moose hide, caribou hide, ptarmigan wings, grouse tails, mineral ores, postcard pictures and snap shots These letters and pack ages have been sent to many differ ent states and localities and in re- turn, many letters have been re- ceived.
 Houston, Texas, sent several let ters and many souvenirs of Texas, including pictures, flowers, grasses, etc. This was the first lot received here and was put on exhibit in the building. Later a group of letters was received by the students of this school from Sherman. Texas. but as there were no souvenirs, there no exhibit made.
 The greatest and most interesting package received was 8 small box from Bristol, Vermont The students of the 8th grade in the Bristol schools prepared the box in their language class, under the direction of their English teacher. Miss Ruth Elderkin. The box contained samp- les and pictures of Vermont pro- ducts and resources and included 1; GD popcorn on the cob; (2) con eentrated honey; 6, asbestos ore; C4) tale rock-from which talcum powder is made; (5) Vermont beans (6) maple sugar. Then there were many postals and pictures of in dustry, mountains, historical places and Vermont birds.
 These souvenirs have been label ed and placed on exhibit in the school building and are attracting very much attention. Other packages are expected and as soon as they arrive, will also be placed on ex- hibit. Exhibits are expected from about II other states.

Steamship companies look for bet ter passenger and freight business from Seattle to Alaska this year, according 10 an article appearing in q recent issue of the Seward Gate way. The opening of the new Gov ernment railroad from Seward, on the ocean. to Fairbanks, in the h. terror, is going to develop consider able tonnage. .:. .:: ..." .::
 Transportation men connected with the two big steamship compan- ies predict heavy traffic north dur ing the season. It has been claimed If transportation costs to Interior Alaska could be reduced it would reopen all low grade gravel claims. This has been accomplished Wm. GerIg came to the coast several weeks ago on his mission to secure a through rate. He met with no Op- position fro mJhe steamship com panies, who agreed to the through rate. IL is about one-thlrd of the old rate and will give Nenana and Fairbanks an opportunity to do a general jobbing business with other Interior sections. Adjustment of rates assures Seattle's future as the natural gateway to Alaska and Sew ard as the gateway to the Interior.
