FARM LOANS
DESIRED
By HARRY GUSACK
Financial Editor

Serious consideration is being
gtven by the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency to three
measures proposing the expansion
of facilities offered by Farm Loan
Banks.
The first measure introduced by
Senator Neely of West Virginia,
J makes the capital stock Of each
Federal intermediate credit bank
$4,000, 900 of which $4,000,000 shall
be used exclusively for long term
loans and advances to cooperative
associations.
A bill proposed by Senator Stiewer
OF oregon is the second step in the
program, and is designed ito give
impetus and strength to the opera.
Ntton of the intermediate credit bank
aystem.,
A separate board Of directors for
each credit bank is created in each
city where there is now a Federal
| Land Bank. with the idea that ap-
plications for loans and advances
will be more speedily handled than
at present.
The general mechanism of the
Farm Loan Bank act would be re-
formed by a bill - Senator Howell
OF Nebraska. This measure makes
the Federal Farm Loan Bureau an
Independent executive office.
The Secretary of the Treasury
would remain member of the Farm
Loan Board. however. while the
other six members would be an
pointed on a basis of regional
representation according to Federal
Loan Bank districts.
The purpose of these changes is
to remedy the situation obtaining
In the past where the Treasur" De-
partment has been too dominant in
running the Farm Loan Bureau.
The board is also authorized to
employ examiners to facilitate its
ework. Another change would pro-
vide long period charging off of the
differences between loans and fore
closure sales

Washington.
En- route to the Capital few weeks
before, Lincoln had been informed that
Secret Service operatives had uncov-
red plot to aSsassinate him, and he
was finally induced to change his travel
schedule. He left Harrisburg, Pa, Sc

eled incognito through Baltimore, and
slipped quietly into Washington at Cos
in the morning.

Milk is an enjoyable beverage. It
isn't to be thought Of rs compulsory.
Nothing at all viii happen If the child
doesn't take quart day, not even II
he only drinks one cup q day. There
are dozens Of ways in which milk can
be used in the diet, without ever drink
ing q sip Of 1t, and We should recognize
and make use of that fact.
When bottles are discarded, discard
them. Don't continue to give them to
a big child through any fear that If he
doesn't have them he won't get enough
milk. These and year old children
going around hanging onto a bottle are
being kept infants in mental and emo
tional development. and very often
they have the poorest and most made

arms of one of the States. This car
pulled up at the White House shortly
after the President Lad returned there
from the Capitol. 1.-THE little misses
marched into the mansion, where Lin
coin picked up each one and kissed her.
A curl of one caught in the buttonhole
of the President"
The Lincolns held their first levee the
evening of March 8. A contemporary
reporter said:
THE universal impression is that Old
Abe's first public reception at the White
House has been a triumphant success.
Everybody seems pleased except those
who got badly squeezed in the crowd
and few who lost their hats and coats
or got them exchanged, as is always
more or less the case at the levees.
"At half past 10 O'Clock Mrs Lincoln,
leaning upon the arm of an eX-member
of Congress from Illinois-rnuch to the
chagrin of Senators and Representa-
tives who we're dressed and dying to
have that honor thenlselves-proceede
through the blue room to the east
room. The President followed, attend
ed by one of his younger sons. They
passed around the room once, the head
of the President peering above all the
rest, so that he could be distinctly seen
at any time from any point.
HE was dressed in plain black broad
cloth-his inaugural suit, manufactured
by Hinton & Peel of this city-and wore
white kids. Mrs. Lincoln was attired
in rich magenta colored brocade silk,
with raised figure flounceS, trimmed not
extravagantly with rich point lace.
Her ornaments were chiefly diamonds
and pearls"
In the Summer of 1868 the Lincolns
took up residence at the Soldiers Home,
3 miles north of the city and consid-
cred healthier than the swamp region
near the White House. Walt Whitman
describes the Presidents method of
committing:
81 saw him this morning about $3.50
coming in to business, riding on YER
mont avenue near L street. He always
has a company of Is or 80 cavalrymen
over their shoulders MIR. Lincoln
usually rides a good-Sized, easy-going
gray horse, is dressed in plain black,
somewhat rusty and dusty; wears
black stiff hat and looks about as ordi-
nary in attire as the commonest man.
II see very plainly his dark brown
face with deep-cut lines, the eyes al
ways to me with a deep latent sadness
in the expression. A lieutenant with
yellow straps rides at his side, and fol-
lowing behind, two by two, come the
cavalrymen in their yellow striped
jackets. The sabers and accoutrements
clank and the cortege trots slowly tow
ard Lafayette Square. 1t arouses no
sensation-only some curious stranger
stops and gazeS."

Select q flank steak weighing 2 or 3
pounds. Make stufiing Of the follow
ing ingredients: Brown half o cupfu
of chopped celery and one minced
onion lightly in two tablespoonfuls of
butter or one-fourth cupful of finely
chopped salt pork. Mix this with one
and one-half cupfuls Of stale bread
crumbs, one teaspoonful OF salt and
half a teaspoonful of pepper. Mix the
ingredients lightly, combining them
with fork. Spread this stufing over
the steak. Roll the steak crosSwise and
tie it In two or three places with clean
string. BY rolling it crosswise the meat
will be carved across the grain and the
slices will be more tender. Roll the
outside of this mock duck In flour,
then scar the surface in small guam
tity of fat in a baking pan. Add more
-four II necessary so that there will
be enough for brown gravy. When the
meat is thoroughly scared on all sides
add q cupful Of water, cover closely
and cook until tender. This takes
about one and one-half hours. When
the meat Is done mix two tablespoon
fuls of fat with an equal amount of
-four, add the liquid from the pan and
enough water to make as much gravy
as needed. If the steak had fat on 1t
there may be enough fat and also flour
in the pan to make the gravy without
adding any more.

get down a quart a day, or know. the
reason why, she commits all the crimes
in the behavior calendar.
We have gone long way past the
day when we demand that every cnllo
drink a quart of milk day. In those
earlier days when we knew Tar less
about vitamins and were beginning 70
educate mothers into the generous use
of milk in the diet one quart was
stressed Now feeding authorities are
quite in agreement that this has been
overdone. over-emphasized, and that
mothers are going to the extreme and
feeling that If the child has a quart OF
milk a day it isn't terribly necessary
that he have anything else. winch Is
what often happens.
At l wear a baby should have no
more bottles. Very often he does not
want 8 ounces of milk four times a
day to drink by cup, sometimes he
doesn't seem to want any milk by cup.
If the mother treats this passing phase
wisely, the baby will come to milk in
evitabiy since it appears every day at
the table, and sometimes he can have
it through straw, and at other times
he pours it from his dolls teapot into
his dolls cups and consumes quantities
just in play, or sometimes he doesn't
want it at all and mother simply says
nothing and does nothing, and gives
him his good meal of other foods, MAX

and yelling, then as soon as the child
