READY TO MAKE LOANS
ON LIVESTOCK AND CROPS
The Midland Production Credit
Corporation Taking Loan
Applications.

The Midland Production Credit
Corporation is now taking appli-
cations for loans, and persons de-
string to borrow should send to
William ~Souderlind, secretary, CO.
lumbus, or call on Junior Spear,
j. P. Turner, or H.. w. Bunston,
directors of the corporation for
Big Horn and Treasure counties,
for application blanks.
Loans will be made on livestock,
farm equipment, and crops.
Each borrower must purchase B.
Glass stock, to the extent of five
per cent 500 of his loan. The in
terest rate and expenses of loan
will approximate six and one-half
per cent (6R%). It is hoped that,
by conservative dealings, the stock
purchased will make a good in
terest-bearing investment, at least.
It is expected that the secretary,
Mr.. Souderlind, will call at each of
the five 80 outlying county seats
soon, and will be in Hardin on
Wednesday, the 28th day of March,
at three 90 o'clock p. m, at the
court house, to explain the prin-
ciples governing the loan business,
and each prospective borrower,
and other interested persons,
should take advantage of this OPP
portunity to become informed.

Former Proprietor Savoy Cafe
in Hardin Commits Tragic
Deed in Forsyth.

Citizens in Hardin and vicinity
were shocked, Tuesday forenoon
when telephone word was re-
ceived from Forsyth that Richard
w. Kaufman had shot and killed
his 15-year-old daughter, Dorothy,
and committed suicide.
For some time prior to about q
year ago, Dick Kaufman con-
Quoted the Savoy cafe in Hardin,
while his wife owned and con-
Quoted the Elks cafe at Forsyth,
On special occasions and whei
banquets were served at the Savoy,
Mrs. Kaufman and Dorothy mo-
tored over from Forsyth and help
ed Mr.. Kaufman prepare and serve
and thus the family-Dorothy
was an only child-became well
acquainted in Hardin. Dorothy
was an accomplished tap dancer
and on different occasions ap-
pered on programs in Hardin. Mrs.
Kaufman has the sympathy of
the people of this community in
her tragic bereavement. The fol-
lowing account of the tragedy is
reproduced from a Forsyth dis
patch to Wednesday mornings
Billings Gazette:
Hanging himself from a rafter
in the basement of his home,
Richard w. Kaufman, At, sent a
bullet through his head after
Staying his daughter, Dorothy, is,
as she lay asleep in her bed here
early Tuesday morning.
Kaufman had brooded over
poor health and domestic difficult
ties, authorities said.
A coroner's jury, impaneled soon
after the shootings, returned a
verdict Of murder and suicide. In
vestigators asserted K + m a n n
premeditated the tragedy and had
repeatedly told friends that he
would do something desperate"
The murdered girl was found by
a. cousin, Ruth Ann Wiekum, 10,
who lives with the family. Miss
Wiekum, believing Dorothy was
suffering from a convulsion, ran
to the restaurant owned by Mrs.
Kaufman.
The woman left the house a few
minutes before the shootings. She
is prominent in local business cir
cles.
The slayer left a 12-page letter.

Big Horn County Last Year Was
Paid S94,592.34 by This
Railway Co.

That the Burlington Railroad
company contributes it's full share
towards providing the tax money
with which to carry on the bust
ness of the various states through
which it operates is evidenced by
a statement just put out by Frank
Cone, superintendent of the Cas-
per-Sheridan division of the C. B.
& O., showing the amounts paid
in taxes in 1888 in the various
counties of South Dakota, Wy
oming and Montana. In these
three states the total paid last
year in taxes amounted to almost
one million dollars-$838,7 29 .95.
OF this amount $93,170.82 was
paid into the treasures of Custer
and Fall River counties, South
Dakota, and 1904 1853 SO into the
treasures of the IA counties in
Wyoming through which the rail-
road passes.
Only three Montana counties
Big Horn, Carbon and Yellowstone
are traversed by the Burlington
railroad, which pays the three
counties taxes totaling $141, 205 20.

HOME OWNERS LOANS
PROVING BENEFICIAL

sary details i'll connection with Sc
curing the loan.
Interest is charged on these
loans by the government at five
per cent per annum and the Dor
rover is given fifteen years in
which to pay. Loans may be made
under the present law for the re-
tirement of liens against homes
incurred and of record prior to
June, 1888, for the payment of de-
linquent taxes and for the making
of such repairs to the home as
may be necessary to make the
same habitable. The applicant
must reside in his home and a
home is construed, under the
Home Owners Loan Act, to mean
any dwelling house occupied by
one and not to exceed four fam
lilies whether in the city or in the
country. A country or suburban
home must not be classified as a
farm home. It may, however, be
located on a small acreage tract
or may be a country store in
which the owner resides. The sole
purpose of the Home Owners Loan
Act is to save homes from loss by
foreclosure, tax seizure and from
wear and tear and all home own
ers should avail themselves of the
opportunity to protect their homes
at a low rate of interest IN long
term payments.
Ordinary farm loans should be
referred to the federal land banks.
Under the present Home Owners
Loan Act the government has
guaranteed only the interest on
home loan bonds. The president,
however, has recommended that
the principal of such bonds be
guaranteed by the government and
congress is apparently acceding to
the presidents wishes by the pas
sage Of such act. It is also very
probable that upon the passage of
this act loans may be available for
the building of an addition to
homes as this appears to be one
of the presidents recommended
tons.
