Farmers Pay 86.3% Of
InstallmentS When Due

Farmers interest payments on land
bank commissioners loans registered
another substantial gain during the
last quarter of 1885 and at the end
of the year total interest collections
were more than Sc per cent of all
maturities, new high point, accord
ing to the report issued by the Farm
Credit Administrator February LIST.
Total interest maturities to the end
of 1885 amounted to $42,5OO,O0O, of
which $36,5O0,OOO or 1868 per cent had
been paid, compared with $32,300,000
matured to September 80, 1885 and
$26, 100000, or 1923 per cent, paid at
that time.
Maturities of interest at the end of
1884 amounted to $8,000,000, of which
Sc, 100000 had been paid on December
31st of that year. The first of the
commissioners loans were made in
May, 1888 and the total outstanding
at the end of 1885 was $795, 600, 900.
"Since interest installments on these
loans made under the emergency re-
financing program began to mature 2
years ago, the collection ratio has
climbed upward steadily" Governor
w. I. Myers of the F C A stated. at
is very gratifying to find that the
overwhelming majority of farmers
who obtained these loans and over
half of them were on second mort
gage security-are now measuring up
to their obligations and making every
effort to attain a 100 per cent record
for payment of their installments."

Floods May Follow Snow
And Rain In Southeast

Unusually heavy SHOWS and rains
in the southeastern part of the coun-
try have set the stage for serious
floods. There is now enough snow in
the basin of the Potomac River to
bring serious trouble along its banks.
It all depends on the way the snow
and ice melt, according to M. w.
Hayes, of the Weather Bureau. If
melting is gradual, there will be no
flooding of any consequence. A rain
of 1 to ~ inches on top of the snow
and ice cover, however, is sure to
cause serious floods along the lower
banks of the river. There are now,
Mr.. Hayes says, from 5 to 35 inches
of snow over the watershed of the
Potomac. The average cover is from
IL to Is inches, only one place
Frostburg, Md.,-having 35 inches.
At Great Falls just above Washing
ton, D. c., there is only narrow
channel open. In the rest of the nor
NAL channel ice is piled 10 to IL feet
deep.
Already there are floods in the
Alabama river and it's tributaries, in
the Tombigbee and Black Warrior
rivers in southern Alabama and also
in the Pascagoula river and its tribu-
taries in southern Mississippi. Some
of the rivers in Georgia and the Car
olinas are in moderate flood stage be-
cause of heavy rains.

JUDGING OTHERS

1t is tre to say that in judging the character and
motives of another person should try to imagine
selves in his place. But how many of do it, How many
OF us make conscious and determined effort to be fair In
cur estimate of the other fellow?
An unknown author has set forth some thoughts in
this connection which worth repeating follows:
When the other fellow acts that way, he is ugly;
When you do it, it is nerves.
When the other fellow is set in his way, he's ebsh-
nate when you are, it's firmness.
When the other fellow treats someone especially well,
ne Is toadying when you do it, it's tact.
when the other fellow takes his time, he is dead
SLOW; when you do, you deliberate.
When the other fellow picks flaw, he's cranky;
When you do you discriminating
When the other fellow says what he Thinks ne IS
Sptetul when you do, you frank" and so on
1t is really hard to apply to ourselves the same yard
SUCK which in measuring our neighbors But we
ought to try to do it.

TWO BOYS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING
ONE INCIDENT AT PORTER
DOCK; OTHER AT CAUSE
WAY LEADING TO OLD AIR
STATION

Two escapes from possible
drowning were reported yesterday
to The Citizen. One of these oc-
Cured at the Porter Dock COM
pany's main per and the other at
the causeway leading to the air
station.
In this latter case, Jack Hol-
senback, little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Holsenback of White street, was
playing on a bank near the cause
way. He started for the shore,
found himself in deep water and
was struggling to reach safety,
said other youngsters in the vici-
ty at the time.
Woodrow Niles, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Nathan Niles, MADE an eff
fort to rescue Jack, but the task
was too great and he was continu-
ing his struggles to get Jack to
shore when Jack Richardson, an
other youngster, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Paul Richardson, jumped in
to the water and pushed Jack Hol-
senback up on the bank of the
causeway to safety. Boy friends
assisted Jack home, weakened but
smiling after the experience.
The other case was that of
Frank McMann. He rode down to
the end of the Porter Dock on his
bicycle. He got off and placed
his foot on what he thought was
the timber surrounding the edge
of the dock, but missed it and
plunged into the water, still cling
ing to the wheel.
Handicapped by his shoes and
clothing onloukers decided he was
in danger and may drown. unless
assistance was given. Charlie De-
merritt was on the dock and realiz-
ing that Frank was in danger.
plunged into the water and assist
ed him to safety.
Back on the wharf Charlie did
another good Samaritan deed by
using his knowledge as an ex-
perienced fisherman and removed
a fish hook which had been driv-
en- through the middle finger of
one of the anglers on the dock.
The bicycle which went over
board was later retrieved by Will
liam Wickers, expert diver and al

lost from the docks or ships in the
