The problems of the railroads are

agencies beyond their control. They
are subjected to the most stringent
regulatiou-yet they must compete
with other carriers which are half
regulated or unregulated. They
must pay their own way in every

exactly what the railroads and the

Interest Rate Reduced

Conrad district farmers and
sto ckmen had one.tenth of their
annual interest bill for short
term credit cut off this week as
the Conrad Production Credit
Association announced a reduc-
ton of interest rates from S to
4! per cent.
The new rate is the result of a
like reduction in the discount
rate of the Federal Intermediate
Credit Bank of Spokane, liver A.
Rood, secretary-treasurer of the
Conrad association. explained.
Loans by Production Credit AS.
sociations are discounted through
the Federal intermediate. Credit
Bank. Both are units of the
Farm Credit Administration.
Reduction followed the sale of
debentures of the nations IL
Credit Banks at one of the lowest
interest rates ever obtained by a
private securities sale. The de-
bentures are not guaranteed by
the government either as to prin-
ciple or interest.
The low rate, said Mr.. Rood,
reflects the soundness of short
term farm paper market whole
sale through the credit banks.
The charged rate affects all
business written on or after Feb
ruary "a. In 1888 the loan volume
of the Conrad ssociation was
more than 100000.

jackass that pulled the cart of the
Italian fruit peddIer. The peddler
would load his cart at the fruit dock
and then drive his rounds, with the
jackass always baking and causing
trouble. One morning. after the
cart was loaded, the jackass refused
to go. When the old Italian tried
to lead him, the jackass started to

stop him. Finally, he hacked over

"Whae has been said concern

1887 there were 1000 Negro
physicians licensed to practice
medicine in the United States. In
order to obtain these licenses the
physicians must have served ac-
ceptable internships in accredited
hospitals. Since only half of the

no evidence of a demand for a
considerable increase of Negro
medical students, but a definite
need for improved facilities for
undergraduate and graduate med
ical instruction. Better education
al opportunities for interns and
practical short courses for Negro
practitioners also loom large a
essential needs.
According TO the National
League for Nursing Education,
there are only "a accredited nurs-
ing schools for Negro Students.
In addition there is one school in
Richmond, Va, for the training
of Negro public health nurses.
There are probably 5000 Negro
nurses in the United States. 604
of whom are engaged in public
health work and who are render
ing excellent service. The ratio of
all nurses bedside and public
health, to the general population
is one white nurse to 306 white
persons and one Negro nurse to
2,076 Negroes.
"Well trainsd Negroes have
demonstrated beyond doubt
their ability to render efficient
service. Howver, TO become eff
cient, they must be able to obtain
adequate training and this can be
received only in registered hos
