Demand on Rural Credit
Bureau for Loans Slackening
Senator Sageng, Chairman of Credit
Board Says Conditions Are Fast

Hon. Ole o. Sageng, chairman of
the Minnesota Rural Credits Board

for the board, were in the city We'd
nesday evening on their way to St..
Paul, says the Fefgus Falls journal.
They had been travelling through the
northern part of the state and check
ing up on the farms which the Cred

emit board is giving more attention to
the collections than to making new
loans, but wherever there is a good
loan, the state is accepting it.
Senator Sageng says that the rush
for money that followed the passage
of the first state rural credits act has
now abated, and the demand at pres
ent is what might be termed "just
ordinary" The legislature original
iy authorized a $4O,OOO,O0O bond is

but only $37,000,000 of these bonds
have been issued and the additional
$3O,000,000 authorized by the last
legislature has not been touched.

made and the state investment board

The number of dairy cows In the

the number Of people, but not at the
Same rate. In only two years out Of
The last six has the dairy-cow popula-

The United States Department Of
Agriculture has just completed study

ID shown that slightly more than 1000
pounds of milk per capita is used an

lother words, grand total of 1906
DO1 600 pounds Of whole milk is uti-
n1zed In this country by manufacturing

10 calves, or for household purposes.
This amount was produced by 26,252,-

by breeding better cows. Not more

what is needed to keep pace with the

Renzene's Birth

A hundred years ago Michael Fara-
day discovered benzene. OF all his dis
coveries, scientists consider that Of
benzene to be the most important.
At the time of Faraday's discovery,
gas was compressed into iron cylinders
and supplied in the same way as
oxygen is today. With the natural
curiosity of scientist, Faraday ex-
amined the gas and so discovered ben
zene-a substance composed Of six
parts carbon and six parts hydrogen.
The actual form of joinery between
the carbon and the hydrogen opened
up a new field Of thought for the chem
list. Benzene should be pictured as q
hexagon formed Of carbon with an
atom Of hydrogen at each Of the six
points.

Every person who drives car, UNI
less he or she is entirely needless, has
not failed to be impressed by the
strenuous campaign which is being
waged by the railway and warehouse
commissions and the railroads to cut
down the toll of deaths at railroad
crossings. Flaming signs depicting a

train have been placed eros

stop signals of all kinds Speakers
have appeared here in New Ulm as in
other cities, preaching the doctrine of
cautious driving at railroad crossings.
Every effort possible has been made
to impress the motorist with the
danger of the railroad crossing.
Why?
In 1923 there were 2,26S persons
killed and 1914 injured, 154 subse.
quently died, at such crossings. Au-
tomobiles were involved in eighty
four per cent Of these casualties.
On December 81, 1923, there were
342,7S5 highway crossings over Class
I railroads. During that year 972 were
removed at cost. of $4,000, 900
However the net increase for the
year was 2,424 crossings. These were
added without railroad solicitation.
Every railroad crossing is potential
hazard.
The press, civil authorities, automo-
bile organizations, educators and the
public generally should encourage the
exercise of greater care and justly
condemn the chance taker at railroad
crossings and elsewhere. A news

sent dozen souls to their deaths az
