FARMERS NEED
FOOD; SEED ACT
TOO STRINGENT
Arkansas Merchants May
Solve Problem if They
Can Discount Notes.

BIZ gcrtpps-Hotoard NetospaDeY Alliance
MARIANNA, Ark, Feb. 11.-Only
twenty-five Of the $500 farmers in
Lee county have qualified thus far
for government seed loans because
Of the stringent regulations.
Colonel Elgan G. Robertson, ex-
ecutive president Of the Lee
County National bank, and chair
man Of the local Red Gross and
seed loan committees, said there
are not six farmers in this locality
who will not have to make some
provision for purchasing food before
the 1881 crop is harvested.
THE seed loans provide no food
for the farmer and his live stock
and lands are already mortgaged
to the merchants who furnished him
food last year." Robertson said.
The farmer has no prospect OF
obtaining food loans and the seed
loan specifications are so binding
serious complications will arise If
4 borrower diverts some Of this loan
to purchase food"
Merchants Hold Notes
Practically every farmer receives
his supplies each year from a fur
nishing merchant" who collects
when the harvest is made. Last
year with only half normal crop
and other crops blasted by drought,
these merchants could not be paid.
They can not borrow money to
furnish supplies to the farmers this
year. They hold mortgages on the
farmers livestock and land, but
foreclosure would be Of small bene-
ht. One such merchant last year
furnished $4,000 worth of provi-
sions TO 400 families. Now he is
without credit because he can not
liquidate the paper he holds for that
amount. These merchants, however,
are still hopeful of obtaining suffi-
cient credit to enable them to carry
the farmers through another season.
This, they say, is their only way Of
recouping last seasons losses, or at
least, part of them.
Food Is Needed
1.-THE farmers are looking to the
merchants, not the government, to
help solve the food question" Rob
ertson said. And the merchants
are looking vainly in all directions
for aid. If the merchants can ar
range to carry these people, some
$4,000 of the 1892 persons receiv-
ing Red Cross aid will no longer
need these free rations."
Lee county has a population Of
26,6O0. Business leaders here, as in
other sections of the famine area,
assert the problem would be solved
if the government included food
loans with the seed loans.
Every farmer would take advan-
tage Of the seed loan if he could
get food at the same time" one
banker said.

TAX EXEMPTION ASKED
Home Owning Would Be Favored
Above Marriage for Income Levy.

Marriage should provide no ex-
emption under a state income tax,
but home ownership should, Repre-
sentative Cecil j. Kistler (Rep., Elk
hart) told the Indiana University
Club at the Columbus Club.
I'm our taxes on personal proper
ty," Kistler said, I'VE don't exempt
a man because he has only $1,000
worth of property. Under our pres
ent form of taxation, the man who
macs $4,000 or less year and who
feels he should have home for his
family is carrying the freight for
the man who makes $4,000 a year
or more, but feels that it is I'M
profitable to own home.
1--WE should have tax that will
put the burden back on the man
who is making $500 a year or
more"

The most common lock now in use

Narrow Thoroughfare

The narrowest street in the United
States is said to be Treasury street in
st. Augustine. Fla. 1t is 6 feet inch
wide. This street was shown as q
street on the map of st. Augustine In
1887, and called Treasury street be-
cause the old treasury was on the cor
ner of this cross street and st. George
street. Carriages used to drive through
it, and stone was placed at the en-
trance on Bay street to prevent this.
The old treasury building is still stand

ment really in the paper, or had Mar
tin Forbes made that up, too? No,
there it was in the personal column,
just as he'd said. "Rhoda Mcfarland
will learn something to her advan-
tage :" She dropped In to Babes
chair and the section Of the paper slid
from a slack hand back to the floor.
It had given her surprising shock
to see her discarded name in print like
that. 1t brought things back that
she'd thought she was done with for
ever; some things that she hadn't
thought about in years.
Their yard at home, with the vener-
able live oak in the middle of it, in
whose branches she and her three in
separable friends used to scramble
about like young monkeys; the three
AS they used to call them because
their names all began that way-Ann,
ard Alice, and Amy. They were all
in the same grade; seventh 1t was,
when her father told her one morning
that she wasn't to go to school any
more for the present. For the pres
ent! She'd never gone to school again;
not since that day. And Amy and
Alice and Ann faded out of the pic
ture. They didn't come to play in her
yard any more.
And she had understood that it was
because of something that was spoken
of, when it was mentioned at all, as
the trial; her fathers trial-Prof. Wal
ter Whitehouse Mcfarland. She'd had
a glimpse of his name once in black
headlines in the newspaper. Her IA
Their had stopped being professor at
the same time she'd stopped going to
school. He was at home all the time,
and for a while-though whether it
was days or weeks she couldn't re
member-they'd made a sort Of pre-
tense of having school at home with
him for teacher. Interrupted harassed
days those were, with people coming
to see him and being sometimes told
that he was out, even when she knew
he wasn't; reporters and men with
battered-looking cameras taking pic
tures-of the house, when they couldn't
get anything else.
There were a few days toward the
end, just before they left California
for good, when he had been away
from home all the time and she had
known. somehow, that the trial was
going on.
Also she had known before she saw
him on his return. though again the
source of her knowledge eluded her
memory, that the outcome of it had
been favorable to him, that he had
"got- off," She must be right about
that since she still so wildly remem-
bered her disappointment and per-
plexity, when she saw him again, over
the fact that there was nothing trium-
plant about him; that. he had been, If
possible, whittier and more bitterly
silent than ever.
She'd hoped he would tell her what
the trial had been about. He had

 START AT 8 O'CLOCK

1 The Shrill peal of the referees whistle will start off one of the most exciting games to be played this season when the Seward High School boys basketball team and the City players trot out upon the floor for four-quarter struggle. The High School, under the coaching of R c. White, has been whipped into strong offensive and defensive team and should prove to be big stone for the Citys players to climb over for victory. Both, the City and High School teams lost by narrow margins to the Alumni team but that was be- fore they had put on the finishing touches to their play.
 The City team will lineup with David Turner, Lawrence Bucey, Marty Skinner, Quinten Smith and Bud" Hall. For the High School Benny Benson, Eddie Manthey, Ed win Sandbeck, Andy Peterson and Adolph Rogers will probably be in the starting lineup with Arlo Ha- gen, nicky Heidel and Barton Stan ton in togs ready to jump into the fracas in three seconds notice.
