629 FARMERS IN
COUNTY ON LAND
BANK LOAN LIST
$4,743,OOO OWED ON FARM
PROPERTY TO FED
ERAE AGENCY

Observing this week the 20
year anniversary of the passing
of the farm loan act of 1916,
which marked the beginning OF
cooperative credit for farmers in
the United States, President Roy
A. Nelson of the Federal Land
Bank of st. Paul, said that there
are 629 farmers in Redwood coun-
| ty who have federal land bank or
commissioners loans.
In the whole state of Minnesota
there were only 500 land bank
loans outstanding at the end of
1917, the first calendar year of
operation. The land bank system
of 1916 was expanded into the
Farm Credit Administration in
May 1888.
Typical of the increased services
to farmers in the last three years
are the figures for Redwood coun-
ty. May 1, 1888 there were 81
farmers who had land bank loans
in this county compared with 629
at the beginning of this year. The
amount of credit outstanding rose
from $356,000 to $4,743,000 dur
ing the same period.
This large increase in the
amount of loans has made very
little if any increase in the total
indebtedness of Redwood county
farmers, Nelson said, because
about So out of every $40 borrow
ed went to pay off debts that al
ready existed.
Mortgage loans in this county
are handled by the local farm loan
association, one of more than 81
900 that have been organized by
groups of farmers during the last
20 years.
Short-term loans for livestock
and crop production, purchase Of
farm supplies and the making of
improvements and repairs are
handled through the Redwood
Falls Production Credit asso-
citation which includes Redwood,
Renville and part of Yellow Medi-
cine counties. Since this associa-
ton was established early in 1884
it has made 557 loans to its men,
bers aggregating $472.000.
"In these 20 years one Of the
most outstanding services the
land bank has rendered to farmers
of the northwest is the reduction
in interest rates." Mr.. Nelson said.
Starting with six per cent loans,
the bank has been able to pro-
gressively reduce interest to the
point where the borrower of today
is keeping in his pocket one doll
ar out Of every three that he
would have had to pay under con-
ditions that used to prevail"

you will have to watch your diet
very carefully and begin your

Diet
The general rule in dieting is
to cut down the amount of food
with one day a week on liquids
and for a more drastic course
avoid starches and sweets and all
alcoholic beverages. Eat some fats
and butter, but only a very little,
such as a half pat of butter at
each meal, and no fried foods.
Drink a glass of milk and eat
some leafy salad and one cracker
or thin slice Of whole-wheat toast
for every luncheon. Drink some
water between meals, but none at
meal time.

walking on the inside rim. Do

Pastels Lead
In Dance
FrOCks
By WILMA LAv1LLE

Fashion falls into step with
youthful ideas of good dance
frocks this year. In looking
at the new dresses, you might
think the girls had designed
them for themselves. They
really have, in a way, for their
selections have tended to guide
the designers, so that this
years fashions are really q
elimination of two or three
seasons of selection and weed
ing out, ever since cottons
came back to fashion.
Not all the dance frocks are of
cottonS or similar fabrics, but
many of them are. Favorite fabrics
are net, marquisette, lace, nous
seine de sole, organza, organize,
chiffon, even dotted Swiss. You'll
notice that they are all sheer and
most of them crisp. That fact sets
the tone of the new frocks. 1t
seems that skirt width is here.
Slinky, slender gowns are going
fast, may be gone. At any rate,
wide skirts, often wide all the way
down, at least wide below the hips,
are very decidedly here.
Other Materials
BY way of exception to the above
formula Of SheerS we have some
very lovely paper taffetas, again
made on full7Skirted lines. When
hot weather comes there will be
some stunning cottons, not sheer,
printed piques, linens and the like.
But for right now, sheerS have the
spotlight.
It's hard to be definite about
the new gowns because they are in
such great variety. They are
ruffled, they have jackets. they use
color contrast in such things as
Sashes and flowers, far more than
they have in seasons past. Yet
some of them are charmingly
simple, and almost entirely un-
trimmed.
It's also difficult to decide
whether white is more popular
than paStelS. It is undoubtedly
seen more than any single color,
but the paStelS probably have the
lead when they are considered to-
gether. Rather clear tones, baby
pinkS, blues, greens, yellows and
peach tintS are used, and they are
lovely after several seasons of
more sophisticated colors. They
are so sweet looking, in fact. that
they are being bought already for
graduation, and of course they are
ideal for June weddings.
Cosmetic News
This is not cosmetic day" with
US, but we must mention the fact
that the beauty people seem to be
coming around to the idea of put
ting on your eyeshadow with a
camels hair brush, instead of
Smearing it on with your finger.
It seems that the effect is much,
much better softer, smoother,
and SO on.
Well tell you about it more
fully later, but right now the news
IS that there are some demonstra-
tors in town who will show you
how it is done. will chart your
makeup for you, and teach you
to do it in the most becoming
way. The man who started it, the
most artistic of them all, may be
here for one day, and perhaps
you can have him tell you about
it. For more information, call
Miss Laville at The Times, during
business hours.
