INTEREST RATES ON
FARMS ARE LOWERED

| \OpCSIdl WI IOOpOlluOilSS) 1ao
further evidence of the rapidly
increasing soundness of North
west agriculture comes the an
nouncement from ]. A. Rickert,
vice-president of the Federal In
termediate Credit Bank of St.
Paul, of reduction in rediscount
rates, effective beginning April
1st, 1926, from 81 to 5 per cent.
'Inasmuch as rediscounting
agencies are permitted to charge
the borrower a rate of interest
not greater than II per cent in
excess of this banks rate, the
reduction means that the in
terest rate to the borrower is
lowered from Z to 81 per cent, :"
said Mr.. Rickert in making the
announcement.
The officers of the Federal
Land Bank comprise, also, the
official staff of the Federal In
termediate Credit Bank, in
Guiding Mr.. Rickert as vice-pres-
ident and manager. They are:
H. K. Jennings, president; B. F.
Faast, vice-president; A. R. Burr,
secretary, and Paul A. Preus,
treasurer.
Since it's organization in 1923,
the Federal intermediate Credit
Bank has rediscounted the notes
of approximately 10000 farmers
for total amount of more than
12,5OO,OOO, and has made direct
loans to farmers cooperative or
CARNATIONS during the same pc
riod of more than $5,000,000.
Amongsother services rendered
agriculture in the Northwest, the
Federal intermediate Credit
Bank financed the North Dakota
Wheat Growers Association on
the 1923, 1924 and 1925 crops;
lit financed the Northern Wiscon-
sin Cooperative Tobacco Pool. of
Madison, Wis, on the 1923 and
1924 tobacco crop, and is now
financing the same organization
on the 1925 crop; it aided the
Door County Fruit Growers
Union of Sturgeon Bay, Wis, on
the cherry crops of 1924 and 1925
and gave material assistance to
the North Dakota Cooperative
Wool Marketing Association on
it's 1925 wool clip.
"All loans representing adj
vances to cooperative organiza-
tions have been taken care of
promptly as they matured" Mr..
Rickert said, "and we consider
this class of business to be very
satisfactory"
During the fall of 1925 the
Federal intermediate Credit
Bank rediscounted notes, given
to acquire funds for the purchase
of feeder cattle, to the extent of
$4,000.
| we nave lSdoOH W UCllSVC
that our service in this particu-
lar will be greatly enlarged from
year to year," Mr.. Rickert stated.
Mr.. Rickert declares that the
reduction in the rediscount rate
is made possible by the fact that
the bank has been able to re-
finance maturing debentures at
a lower, rate.
After all it simply means
that agriculture in the Northwest
is showing a decided improve
| ment," said Mr.. Rickert, land l
am glad that the Federal Inter-
mediate Credit Bank, along with
the Federal Land Bank and other
organizations, has been able to
contribute something to the
stabilizing process and to the
present brilliant outlook"

BRITISH RAILWAY
STRIKE AVERTED
Union Accepts Wage Boards
Award After Heated
Discussion.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, January 26-The peace
rul counsels of J. II. Thomas. secre-
sary of the National Union of Rail
waymen, and other leaders have pre-
vailed in the railway dispute, and a
strike has been ayerted by a narrow
margin
The threatened strike arose out of
the action of the National Union Of
Ratlwaymen in rejecting the award of
the national wage board. notwithstand-
ing that Secretary Thomas was one of
the SignaIOries in behalf of the union.
At conference which Mr.. Thomas
had with the railway managers yes
terday the managers refused to com
ply with the mems demand that new
employees should not be deprived of
the cost of living" bonus, and that
the present rates of pay should never
be reduced.
At a meeting later of the delegates
ot the union an angry discussion en-
sued, and Mr.. Thomas did his utmost
20 persuade the men TO accept the
award of the wages board. He de
Tlared that the whole question was
whether they wished to carry resist
Hnce to the point of a strike.
The meeting then voted on resolu-
tion whether Il strike should be called
Friday or they should accept the
award. The strike party was defeated
by a vote of IL to 36.
