Minnesota Rural Credit
Bureau Reports Record Rush
Loans Aggregating $21, 414,70O Have
Been Made on 4007 Farms Since
Board Was Created Year Ago

A recent report of the Minnesota
Rural Credit Bureau, which was
created little over a year ago for
the purpose of loaning money to
farmers in the state, contains some
interesting figures.
Up to June 80, 1924, applications
had been received by the bureau for
loans on 9413 farms, aggregating
S55,O76,226.OO. Of this number
40O7 loans aggregating $21, ALA, 700
90 had been closed or partly closed.
The popularity of the bureau is
evidenced by the fact that in No
vember, 1923, the correspondence
had become so burdensome that an
appeal was sent to all bankers in the
state not to write the bureau any
unnecessary letters and to discour-
age any letters or long distance tele-
phone calls to the bureau on the
part of individuals.
The bureau has sold 100000, 900
worth of bonds, the interest on which
amounts to little over A " percent.
This permits a rate of 81 percent
to borrowers, which probably has
something to do with the rush of ap-
plications which the bureau has ex-
perienced.
Due to the fact that it played a
large part in securing the passage of
legislation authorizing the establish
ment of the rural credit bureau, the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
has special interest in its progress.

READ THIS AND SAVE MONEY

Drastic editorials appealing to
civil loyalty, talks on the duty of
citizens to home institutions and ap-
peals through civic organizations will
not accomplish half the results that
will be brought about by the mouth
to mounth transmission of the various
experiences of Bemidji housewives
during the past month. Bemidji now
has victims of the tie swindle, in
which three shoddy ties, easily dup
Heated at less money in the local
stores, are sold through the mails !;
the fur swindle, in which rabbit skins
cleverly dyed were palmed off as inn
ported furs; the stocking swindle,
in which very inferior goods have
been sold at high price, and the
shirt swindle, through which the men
of some families will have to wear
patched shirts and the women will
carry the memory of being badly
f1eeced. 1t is these concrete incidents
of the folly of listening to the smooth
stories of swindling statesmen, who
have no guarantee to back them, no
reputation to maintain, pay no taxes
in the community and are often adj
vance agents of a gang of organized
thieves, that will soon cure a COM
munity of the evil of neglectting the
home Notwithstanding Pioneer.

THIRD FAIR D..
A SUCCESS
Displays More Varied and
And Are Much Better
Than Ever -,

When the fair gates were closed
Saturday night on the third annual
products exposition given by the
Kennewick Fair Association, the gen.
eral verdict was given that the fai,
was getting better every year.
While the association did not net
the same dividends that were earned
in previous years, every one was well
pleased with the showing made, as
the displays were larger and more
varied than before, and the cash priz-
es amounted to 80 per cent more than
were paid out last year. Over q
900 people attended.
The first prize given to the or
ganization for the best display was
won by the sportsmen, with second
going to the Robert Ely Post Of the
American Legion.
Fred Mills, of the River Road again
won the individual prize for the best
single display of fruit, while the in
dividual farm display prize was won
by j. F. Perry. A. A. Edwards, Of
Horse Heaven won the dry land prize.
Richland won first honors for the
district display with percentage
of S8. The Kennewick Valley receiv-
ed second money with 85 per cent.
Finley was 3rd with SO and Hover
fourth with IS.
The association and the public gem
enrally liked the new grounds select
ed for this years show and the same
place will probably be used again
next year. This location made a
splendid background for Badger Cam
yon with it's bars, dance hall and
gambling games which were as en-
riching as they were demoralizing.
