Resettlement Order
Signed By President;
Provides Low Interest

The numerical Importance of the
landed gentry of rural America
may be raised almost overnight as
a result of an executive order
issued last week by President
Roosevelt.
The order long had been await
ed by every rural section of the
country for it prescribed the rules
under which the resentment ad-
ministration will operate to i'm,
prove the business of farming.
Farm laDorers, share-croppers
and renters of land may now own
the soil which yields them living.
And present land owners, whose
farms no longer are productive,
may own new land that has been
scientifically selected for maximum
WELD with a minimum of toll and
expense.
Loans with which to buy farms,
with enough left over to build
houses, purchase implements and
domestic live stock, are available
through the resettlement agency
at interest as low as per cent.
the Presidents order said. Not
more than 5 per cent can be
charged.
"A borrower may be. given 40
years to repay the money, and in
some instances, the first install
ment need not be made for three
years from date of the loan.
The rules prescribed by Mr..
Roosevelt are extremely elastic,
leaving to the discretion of the
local administrator the problems
of selecting the applicants for
loans, the rate of interest and the
period for repayment.

Feathers ON Indian Bonnet.

Among Indians of the plains, who
are most noted for the wearing of bon
nets, the feathers were awarded as an
honor, says a writer in the Detroi:
News. Acting as a messenger, Staying
buffalo, or some other deed might
bring the right to wear feathers, one
or two, or perhaps five at time. In
at least one tribe it was the custom
to give five feathers to any warrior
who captured a wounded enemy.
