some five thousand bond statesmen
working at once. On the last series
seventy five per cent Of the bonds
were sold the first day.
Under the recent Act OF Congress
the directors and officers OF the
Fedora LAND Bank become the d.
rectors and officers of the Inter
mediate Credit Bank, which is auth
orized to loan money on livestock
and crops. These loans must be
made upon rediscount or through
rural credit societies, and for the
time being loans will only be made
on paper up to nine months against
livestock and warehouse certificates
where grains are actually stored.
In a short article such as this all
of the details OF the Land Bank
cannot be gone into, but as time
goes on | believe the banks will be
of immense value to the agricultural
interests in making a liberal loan on
approved properties whereby the
producer may be able to get the
money he requires at a rate of in
terest equal to what large concerns
can borrow at. 1t will also educate
the individual to the idea of CO.
operation in other lines such as sell
ing, and in building up his own
credit lines. l am in hopes some
day hat the Intermediate Credit
Bank may be able to make longer
loans on livestock, and that the
land and stock loans may be tied
up in such a way hat they will be
of great aid to the stock men of
the west. AS a new director of the
Bank there is much | have to learn
of it, but l feel from the financial
statements it has bee well man
aged. If the borrower feels in
dividually it has been too ~conserva-
tive it must be remembered that
the Bank is responsible to the own
ers of several million dollars worth
of bonds upon which interest must
be met promptly. The more faith
the bond buying public has in the
conservative and legitimate actions
of the bank the more money the
bank will be able to obtain to loan,
and only in this way can the needs
of a great growing state like Wy
oming hope to build up and prosper.
At this time | wish to add that
| shall be glad to do what l can to
help build up the of this
State through this institution where
it can be done in a conservative and
reliable way. l hope as time goes
on to gain a personal knowledge of
the majority of the loans we have
and | hope that we can make in this
State.

Wyo. Director, Federal Land b

Wyo. Director, Federal Land Bank
While the Federal Land Bank of
Omaha, which is one of the twelve
regional banks in the United States,
has loans in practically every county
in Wyoming perhaps very few peo-
pie realize the working or the mag
nitude of this bank.
The Federal Farm Loan Act was
authorized by an Act of Congress in
1916, and the twelve regional banks
were established that year. Due to
two extraordinary facts the war in
Europe and the attack of the con
stitutionality of the Act, the banks
came into existence, as far as a
quick relief to farmers and stock
men were concerned, at a rather
inoppoTtune time.
While the term Federal Land
Bank" would at first glance indicate
that government money was to be
loaned Immediately for agricultural
necessities, this was not the idea in
tended by the Federal Farm Loan
Act. II was intended by Congress
that the several banks should sell
bonds issued against mortgage Sc
curities in order to obtain the neces-
sary capital to function with. How
ever, during the war period the
Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States, who is the chairman
of the Federal Farm Loan Board
which generally supervises the
activities of the regional banks, be-
lieved the sale of Land Bank bonds
would tend to discourage the sale
of Liberty Bonds. Congress was APP
pealed to and the Secretary was
authorized to purchase up to one
hundred million dollars worth of
Land Bank Bonds per annum during
the period of the war from govern
ment funds. During this period the.
Banks operated as temporary banks
and their directors were appointed
by the Federal Loan Board Since
the end OF the war period the in
vesting public has purchased a large
amoun OF these bonds, which were
placed on sale. In June of this
year all the Banks were allowed to
go upo n permanent basis. They
are now managed by seven directors
instead of five as under the tenn
porary organization.
The subject of Federal Land
Banks has been discussed more or
less in this country for a number of
years but until 1916 nothing ma

ALLEGED COOP. HEAD
 FINALLY RESIGNS

Chicago. March 2,-The resignation of Harrison M Parker. founder" of the Co-Operative Society of America, as trustee. is announced. It is stat ed the society at one time had oO,OOO stockholders and $11,OOO,OOO in re- sources.
 The history of this society is an amazing record of high finance. The society was in no sense cooperative. It consisted of three persons, including Parker, who were trustees for 10 acres of sandy land in Michigan that is worth, it is claimed. about S25 an acre. The trustees were self-perpetuating body to administer this alleged estate for the benefit of unnamed persons who would buy ''benefcia. interest" certificates.
 With this as a ground work the pro- motors issued millions of dollars if1 securities No one had a voice i'll the management but the trustees. and sales men disposed of the certificates on a percentage basis. There was nothing be- hind the certificates but promises by these unknown salesmen.
 In the federal court in this city, the scheme was declared ''unclean." Gen. uine co-oprators expended large sum: of monye for publicity purposes to ac- quaint the public with this movement 1 that masked under the cooperative title

MINE BARONS LOSE:
 KEENEY IS FREED

Berkeley Springs, w. Va, March ?. Prank keeney, president of West Virginia district, United Mine Work CTS, has been freed from murder charges in connection with the Logan county mine strike. The prosecuting attorney told the court four impor- i tant witnesses for the state "myste- riously disappeared"
 Attorneys for keeney objected to this statement. They assured the court that the witnesses would appear at the trial because they were also witnesses for the defense. The court was also informed that these witness es declared that the prosecution had compelled them to make untrue state mentS
 Judge Woods ordered the witnesses brought into the court room, but they refused to discuss the case with the prosecuting attorney. That official then moved that the indictment be quashed and the court ordered kee- ney released.
 The accused was brought to Berke- ley Springs on change of venue from Charles Town. Mine owners had cor rupted public opinion in the latter place through their vicious propagan- da. and Keeney asked for another trial county because he could not se- cure a fair trial in Charles Town: It was also proven that the sheriff and the clerk of the court were quite willing to aid the coal owners.

EXPERT OPINION.

What the financial expert of the New Aor< Tribune thinks of the New Haven road stock can be judged from the fol- lowing communication which was given in answer to a query from an investor.
 Writing to the New York Tribune financial expert and investor says:
 "A friend says New Haven railroad common stock is a good buy inasmuch as the road traverSeS wealthy territory and is bound to right itself before long He says he is going to buy some stock and throw it in the bottom of his trunk to await price climbing. What do you think of New Haven road stock and bonds?'
 The answer given follows:
 Any security that is safe when re- posing at the bottom of trunk is not safe as an investment. You have enough uncertain securities already without increasing your risk by going i'll for New Haven stock. The New Haven 6s are not suitable investments for any one who cannot assume busi- ness mans risk.

ORGANIZED WORKERS
 MAKING PROGRESS IN
 MATTERS OF EDUCATION

New ork, March I.-At the regu- lar meeting of the executiv commit tee of the Workers Education Blu reau, it was decided to issue this week the call for the third annual confer ence on workers education in the United States to be held the I4th and 18th of April in New York City, un- der the auspices of the Workers Edu- cation Bureau of America. Among those present at the executive com mittee meeting were George w. Per kins, president of the International Cigarmakers' Union; Matthew Woll, president International Photoengrav- CTS Union( who with MT. Perkins came from Chicago; John P. Frey, editor of the Holders Journal from Cincinnati, Ohio; John Brophy, presi- dent District No. 2 of the United Mine Workers of America, from Clearheld, Pa, and James H. Maurer, Federation of Labor, from Harris burg, Pa.
 Delegates are expected to attend the forthcoming conference from Workers Educational Enterprises as Portland, Ore, and as far south as Kansas City, Missouri. Among the suggestions that have been made is one of bringing the Portland La, bor College Players east for the con- ference to give series of one-act plays before the delegats. It has also been suggested that the players might perform en route to New York be- fore groups of working people in some of the larger industrial cen ters. The Labor College Players have already created most favorable impression with their performances in Portland, Oregon, and some of the local unions have agreed to assist in defraying the travelling expenses of their fellow-workers if the plan is carried out.
 The recent appeal of President Gompers to the Ameriaan labor movement to cooperate with the Workers Education Bureau in furth- ering program of adult workers education among their membership has already brought a most encour- aging response. Some 40 or 50 new labor organizations in as many ln- dustrial centers have already initiated plans for educational work for their membership. One international union has subscribed thousand dollars for GuuCdIlOIldl SSIHlCS tO tHCIl IlISllDSl- ship in their thirteen hundred unions, and another union has appropriated money for the publication and wide distribution of series of educational hand bills under the general direc- ton of the bureau,
 To keep pace with the extension of the workers educational move ment in this country, the committee approved of the employment of a field secretary to assist local groups of workingmen in setting up their study classes, in making contacts with educational institutions for teachers with experience in adult edu- cation, and in preparing the courses of study.
 The need of a regular periodical of the bureau was deemed so urgent at ths time that the committee auth orized the issuance of a quarterly journal on workers education, the first number of which is to appear at the time of the next conference. It will be entitled "Workers' Education" ."

OVERCHARGE ON
 COAL; MINERS ASK FOR A PROBE

New York, March 9.-The mine workers claim that anthracite mine owners are making an unnecessary over charge of $3.61 a ton indicates that the miners will not be satisfied with surface examinations by the United States coal commission.
 Samuel D. Warriner, spokesman for the mine owners, presents the expect ed denial of these charges, which, he says, are "inexplicable' and mislead- ing" In their request to the United States coal commission for a thorough investigation of this question, the miners declare that the profits of six anthracite coal companies in 1920 was $32,OO0,OO0, as compared with $88000 900 in 1912.
 The commission is asked to ascertain the facts as to production profits and charges on this industry.
 Until this is done" the memorial says, "the anthracite coal industry will not be able to give the public efficient service we believe it should give. We know it is natural, under tn present system of long distance ownership, that there should be such double charges, a keen desire for great profits and a resulting indifference to the welfare of the men who are in vesting their lives in the industry. You will find that this is because the ma jority of the coal mined Is controlled by the railroad companies, which, in turn, are controlled by large financial interests in New York Philadelphia, by men who have never seen the inside of mine
 "We ask you to convince yourselves of these facts, as we are convinced by tracing out the ownership of coal from the ground through the processes of mining, transportation and distribution processes often controlled entirely by one interest, which then takes four different nrnfitS on every ion V

7 CHICAGO. July 16.-Yacht racing honors on the Great Lakes will be at stake when the starting gun booms here on July 21 for the Chicago Mack inae Island race, the longest fresh water race i'll the world.
 Competition this year for the Mack inac cup, the most coveted Great Lakes racing trophy. will be even more spirited than during the 19 years history of the race, and will take on an international aspect witi at least one and probably several Canadian entries.
 From the break in the harbor at Chicago to the end of the 331 mile run at Mackinac, Island. a course stretching almost the entire length oi Lake Michigan yachtsmen concede that the win. ming of this race calls for the maximum in seamanship and puts to the test a yachts best sail ing qualities.
 One Canadian bottom. the flagship of the Royal Canadian Yacht Clul at Toronto. has indicated it will start in the race, and others from the Do minion are expected to be on the line
 Preparations for this years contest recalls to old yachtsmen the first Mackinac race held in 1904 when the final winner was not decided until tht last few minutes of the long sail. In that race the Vencedor, once de fender of the Columbia Yacht Club beat out the Vanenna by less than four minutes. the vanenna losing oul vhen she lost her headsails after
