INTEREST RATE CUT
FOR ALL PURCHASERS
OF LAND BANK FARMS

Declaring it's belief that those who
buy farms from the Federal Land
Bank ought to have fully as much
consideration as borrowers who are
making loans, the beard of directors
has decided to slash the interest rate
on land contracts to the same basis
as that provided by congress for new
loans, namely Az per cent. Notice
has been sent to all fieldmen of the
Federal Land Bank of St. Paul to this
effect and all payments falling due
henceforth will be at the new rate
of interest up until July 10, 1888.
This is the date when the special Az
per cent rate will end according to
the Emergency Farm Credit Act of
1893.
This privilege applies to all land
contracts now in force, and to all
such contracts and purchase money
mortgages made hereafter up until
May IL, 1895. The contracts will then
revert to the former interest rate.
Those who have already sent in
their interest payments on the old
basis will get credit for the difference
without writing to the bank, and all
future payments will be automatically
put on that basis without any neces-
sity of the applicants writing about

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Last week it was said here that
there was no certainty that the inter.
national conference for reduction and
limitation of ornaments would re-
convene at Geneva Monday of this
week, in spite of the fact that the
gathering had been definitely sched-
uled. Also, it was said that 1.-THE
prospects of disarmament were pretty
dismal"
Events happening since that writ
ing have too amply justified these re-
marks, for the conference did not re-
convene last Monday, and pres ects
for actual disarmament were seem
ingly darker than ever before.
Plan Rejected.
Conferences have for several weeks
been going on at Geneva between Ger
man, French, American and British
diplomats concerning some basis for
further discussion of the disarm a
ment problem, and at last it was de-
cided that Germany should be asked
to subscribe to a plan calling for
gradual disarmament within eight
years; during the first half of this
period international control of arma-
ments was to be set up, but no in
crease or decrease of ornaments was
to take place. During the second half
of the period destruction of heavy ag-
gressive arms was to be begun.
But Germany objected most siren
uously on the ground that while the
control plan was satisfactory, it would
be not only humiliating but danger
Gus to Germany to acquiesce in a plan
that maintained ornaments at their
present level, that is, continued the
existence of heavily armed nations
surrounding one practically disarmed
nation. Germany.
AS the situation finally developed
it became evident that the former
Entente powers refused to disarm now
and likewise refused permission to
Germany to increase its ornaments
up to the Entente level.

Depot Agent for % Years.
Buried in Duluth.

A great shock came to the Bruno

Northern Railroad. For the past 81
years he has served in that capacity
at Bruno.
Mr.. Ball was a very highly re-
spected citizen, served for number

PINE CITY LOSES
TO FOREST LAKE
Southern NeighbOrS Were Too Much
for Pine County Eleven in
Fridays Game.

Forest Lake defeated the Pine City
high school football team at Pine
City last Friday afternoon by a score
OF 10 to O. The Forest Lake players
appeared to outweigh the Pine City
boys and were more successful in
their passing and handling of the
ball. AS the game opened, Forest
Lake attempted passes which failed
and they drew five yard penalty for
attempting two in succession. Pine
City then made several attempts to
gain but lost the ball on downs.
Toward the end of the first quarter,
Forest Lake executed surprize play
in the form of a criss-cross with
which they scored, making the count
6 to 0 at the end of the first quarter.
The kick for the extra point was
blocked by Pine City.
Nick Perkins succeeded in getting
off some very nice punts in the first
and second quarters which saved his
team many yards and made it diff
ficult for Forest Lake to make up the
yardage.
During the third quarter, Forest
Lake intercepted passes on two diff
ferent occasions thus making it evil
dent that Pine City would have little
chance to score by this method of
attack. Forest Lake also drove hard
at the Pine City line in this quarter,
and pulled a neat pass on the 10 yard
line that resulted in another score.
The count was IL to as the third
quarter ended.
Pine City did not give up however,
but Unbiased a hard line plunging
attack that brought them down to
within one yard of a touch down.
Here Forest Lake held and Pine City
lost the ball on downs. A Forest
Lake player then kicked from behind
his goal down to the so yard line.
In the last quarter, Forest Lake
again tried a pass, which was sue
cessful in sending a man down from
the center of the field for a third
touchdown. The kick for the extra
point was successful, making the
score 10 to in favor of Forest Lake.

HARD TEAMS

LOS ANGELES. Dec. II. U.H -
Both Loyola and St. Mary's prob
ably will be dropped by Southern
California from its 1884 football
schedule. it was learned today.
Prof Hugh c. Willett OF the
general athletic committee said the
Trojans' schedule will consist of
six coast conference games, two
intersectional battles and a game
with a non-conference California
college. probably AlonZo Stages
College of Pacific eleven.
Washington State, Oregon or
Oregon State may be dropped in
favor of some other conference
member. Willett added. He said
Santa Clara was not being con-
Sidered.

"tuneup" opponent. has given the
Trojans a hard battle the last two
seasons, notably in 1882 when they
averted defeat only by last-period
touchdown.
