The question has been asked
many times by those who do not
favo1 the Townsend Old Age Re

is to be raised to Finance the

H. Leavy's explanation as told
many times in the last few moths:
'The plan would make 100000
people eligible for monthly pen
sion of not to EXCEED 5000 per
month, he said. The present bill
before Congress provides for the

to raise the full 5000 ner month

RIVER FLOW
is DWARFTED
Volume of Columbia is Many Time
Greater; Would Fill Reser-
vOir In Hurry

Grand Coulee Dam, May ID
How the mighty Grand Coulee dam
dwarfs the much publicized Bould-
er dam on the Colorado river was
illustrated by Ralph Kugleman,
contact man for the Columbia Ba
sin commission here today.
To fill the one hundred mile re-
servoir back of the boulder dam is
estimated to require from three to
four years, accord.:lg to a newspa-
per story from that district.
ut is interesting to ompare
this with the time necessary to fill
the reservoir which will be created
by the high dam at Grand Coulee"
Kugelman said eff the dam should
be Finished when the river is at
peak of an average year, such as
1884, when the flow at flood stage
was about 365,OOO cubic feet per
second, it will take only 8 days to
ill the reservoir with 5,028,OOO &C
re feet of water which will be i'm
pounded there"
Shold the dam be completed at
low water stage of a year like last
year, it would require less than 10
Weeks for water to fill the huge
reservoir which will be over $50
miles long and from two to FIVE
miles wide.
The average flow of the Color
ado river, which the Boulder struc-
t,lre blocks off has an average flow
of a peak year Of only $4,000 Sc
cond feet and an average flow Of a
low year of 1850 second feet
CA second foot is cubic foot of
water-eight gallons-passing by
given point per secondly
The five million acre feet the
capacity of the reservoir Of the
dam-is better explained by saw
ing that this hackup water would
cover 100000 acres one foot

Grange Sponsors
Public Market

Members of the Brewster Gran

their fine spirit of cooperation and
progressiveness in their sponsoring
of big public market held at
Breswter on May IL.
At that time horses, cattle farm
machinery. tools and many other
farming articles We're offered for
for sale at public auction In addit-
ion to this practically every store
in the city put on special sales or
Offered various articles at reduced
prices. An auctioneer was secured
at nominal price and the day was
at anomial price and the da was
one grand success. Restaurant
and hotels served meals at reduced
prices, thus suaffording the many
farmers and their families an OPP
portunity to come in early and
spend the entire day.
A market day or public auction
several times during the Year is
an idea that could be very nicely
worked out in Coulee City. Nearly
avery farmer has a piece of ma
chinery, a cow or horse which he
.does not need. A market place
where it could be disposed of at a
fair price or exchanged with q
neighbor is very desirable. A close
cooperation between farmers Of
the disctrict and local business
men would be very beneficial to all
Why not hold market day In
Coulee City. Arrange for good
program, put on special sales for
the day, barbecue could form a
very pleasant part of tn days pro-
gram. Somebody get busy and
start the ball rolling and see how
quickly it gathers support.

LAND BANK DOES
A STUPENOOUS BUSINESS
Land Bank Loans of $7O,77O,595
During Past Two Years Halt
Foreclosure Wave and Help Far
mers Gain Sound New Start In
Life.

Two years ago, May IL. 1898
Win foreclosure and eviction stalk
ing on every size, congress came
TO the rescue OF this desperate sit
uatlon by commissioning the Fed
eral Land Bank to rennance dis
dressed farmers.
In the two years since the land
bank was given this emergency as
signment it has closed $4,000 loans
for $70,770,595 to Pacific north
west farmers, not only hating
wholesale foreclosures but enab-
ling borrowers to get a sound new
t4asis with increased hope of be-
coming debt free.
For while this emergency refin-
ancing service was extended with
all possible haste to meet the i'm
mediate relief need, the program
has been conducted in sound bu-
siness way for permanent to agri-
culture. Each loan has been based
upon a sound appraisal value re-
flecting the farms earning or debt
paying ability and leaving the Dor
rover clear equity so he can rea-
sonably expect to work out of his
indebtedness with payments spread
over a long term of years at a low
rate of interest.
The important thing. officers Of
the bank point out, Is that borrow
ers in this emergency period have
not increased their burden of debt.
Just the reverse holds true. BY be-
ing able to offer their creditors the
equivalent of cash settlement,
they have actually reduced their
debt load in majority of cases,
at the same time saving nearly ST..
100000 year In lower interest
charges.
Indicating that the major por-
ton of this emergency mission has
been completed, the banks volume
has dropped to approximately 500
loan closing month from peak
of more than 5000 a month reach
ed last June. OF the total loans
closed during the last two years
10000 were made for s39,229,595
but out of special fund which the
land bank disbursed as agent for
the Land bank commissioner at
Washington, D. c.
Including both regular Land
bank loans and emergency +" COM

770.595 in loan closing during. the
past two year period is nearly one

vious 16 years this cooperative

The Land bank fundamentally

but obtains 1t loan funds from the
sale of long term bonds to the in
vesting public. The successful mar

lished a lending rate Of Az per

 But his proposal was not that the soviet import machinery or other goods that it formerly bought in the United States It was, in his own words, that the soviet import Am erican brains

 Five years ago the soviet was im- porting equipment from the United States and other countries and hay ing designs made for it by Ameri- can engineers.
 The time has now come to ask ourselves if we should not begin to import brains in order not to invent things already invented in America and to carry our industry along at a rapid pace and in accordance with soviet lines" Bogdanof added.
