Loan Associations Ask
Change in Mortgage Law
FORE cLoS URE ONLY ON IN
STATEMENTS UNPAID-WoULD
CHANGE FILING SYSTEM

The Wisconsin Federation of Farm
Loan Associations at its recent con-
vention passed the following two
resolutions and urges passage Of the
two bills in question which would
make the changes in law that they
request.
Whereas, The Wisconsin Fedora
ton Of Farm Loan Associations, at
It's annual convention, February 18th
and< 10Th, 1926, has under considera-
tion, matters pertaining to the well
fare of the agricultural interests in
the State of Wisconsin in general.
Therefore, BE 1t Resolved, that we
believe it is of great value to the
farmers and the Farm Loan Associa-
tions in Wisconsin to have law,
where. a mortgage is payable by in
stsllments, which will permit fore
closue of such mortgage to be made
for the delinquent installments, and
reserve the lien of the mortgage as
security for the balance of the prin-
cipal to- become due thereafter, as
such a law will enable a farmer to
redeem his farm from said foreclos-
ure without requiring him to pay the
full amount of his mortgage.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, that we
favor Bill 225A now before the Wis
consin Legislature amending Sections
1850 and 1852 of the Statutes provid-
ing for the foreclosure of a real es
tate mortgage for delinquent in
stallment, or installments, to be made
subject to the installments yet to be-
come due upon said mortgage, and
urge it's passage,
Be 1t Further Resolved that copy
of these resolutions be forwarded to
every member of the Assembly and
Senate of the State Legislature

Many Changes in Dress.

The woman who finds it something
of a task to dress twice a day may
find consolation in the statement that
there is at least one woman who has
been obliged to change her dress 1876
times every week for several months
on end. This is the record of a promi-
nent actress appearing in recent
successful play on the New York
stage. Her part required her to change
her costume II tmies at each perform
ance, which, with the change into
street costume, meant IA changes a
day and double that number on each
of the two matinee days-a total of
126 changes in the course of the week.

was enacted last winter the grim strug-
gle between man and mountain that
thrilled the inountaineers Of the
world. That dread East Face did not
stop Agnes Vaille and Walter Kiener.
But altitude and storm killed Agnes

Rocky Mountain is the most popu-

be impossible of ascent. In 1922 a

Since then it has been climbed sew

1t was this winter ascent of the
East Face that challenged Agnes
Vaille. The daughter Of wealthy
Denver man, she had chosen a bust

chamber of commerce Mountaineer-

Justly boast that no man In the Colo
RADIO Mountain club could Guido her.
Walter Kiener Is Swiss who had
established a reputation In the Alps
before coming to Denver about two
years ago. He has done much climb
ing In the Colorado Rockies and had
frequently been the companion Of
Miss Vaille.
Agnes vaille, Elinor Eppich and
Kiener left Denver Saturday, January

Timberline Cabin (11,300 feet up on

climbers left for Chasm Lake and Miss
Eppich returned to Tahosa Valley.
Darkness found the two climbers only
part way up the East Face. After
favorable day the. thermometer had
dropped to IA below and the wind had
risen. They decided to climb up
rather than down. They reached the
at a. m. Monday.
There Is no shelter there; they had
to keep moving. The regular trail
down is on the west slope. They |
chose a shorter route down the north |
slope. Few have been over 1t, even !
in summer. They had both used 1t.
There Is no trail. By $50 they had
descended about 750 feet.
At this point, the most difficult Of

placed end to end and third dashed

carried the body across Boulderfeld,
