Half of Federal
Land Bank Loans
Are Rewritten
Benton County farmers
extend time Of repay
ments; total is half mil
lion

Rewriting approximately half of
the Land Bank Commission loans
outstanding in Benton county has
served to stabilize farm mortgage
indebtedness in this country and
has made it easier for farmers to
get out of debt, Clarence w. Dykes,
secretary-treasurer of the Kenne-
wick National Farm Loan ASsocia-
ton office, said this week.
During the past several months,
Dykes said, approximately SO per
cent of the Land Bank Commission
er loans outstanding in the county
have been reamortized-that is,
have been rewritten for a longer
term of years. Most of these loans
were originally written for term
of 10 years. They have now been
extended in many cases to 20 years,
thus reducing annual payments on
principal and giving farmers a bet
ter opportunity to work out of debt.
At the beginning Of the year
there were 101 Land Bank Commits
sioner loans in Benton county for
a face amount of $149 800. In, addi-
ton, there was outstanding approx
fmately $384,850 in Land Bank
loans. Some of these loans also
have been reamortized.
In most cases the Commissioner
loans are second mortgage loans.
The Federal Land Bank loans are
all first mortgage loans. 'The re-
amortization of the Commissioner
loans" Dykes said, spreads out the
payments for the man with the
heaviest burden of debt. It has put
the annual payments on these mort
cages more i'm line with the earn
ing capacity of the farm and it has
brought renewed confidence to many
famili. eS."

ed today.

ganization. the governor said. The
units might be called out IN lmo, ,,.
emergency to quell disturbances or tc
police strike areas.
No definite plans have been for
mulated in regard to the units, since
the federal government also is con-
sidering setting up home guard units
on a nationwide basis. The states
plans. Hoey said. would depend lar
gely on the federal plans.

decides not to sponsor home guard

No Pay.
Similar views were expressed by
Adjutant General ]. Van 3. Nets
who asserted he was hopeful the fed
eral government would provide guns
and other equipment for the homo
guardSmen.
Nets said he believed the Statc*
home guard should number at least
2.0Q0 TO $500 men.
Under tentative plans. members of
the home guard would receive ii"
pay, unless some provision tUr sal
aries was made by the federal GOV

home guard units should receive on
" persons who We're found Il &c
physically fit. and possibly only per-
sons whose age were either above or
below the limits prescribed for en-
liStment in the regular army. He
emphasized that the home guar?
would not want TO take men WHO

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

by VhOhNlON W. OON1ECos
The silvery moonlight flooded the
Green Meadows. It mad Farmer
Browns dooryard almost as light
as day. But everywhere that the
shadows lay they were very, very
black. Up from the Green Forest
came two little figures. One was
slim and quick moving. 1t darted
in and out of the shadows along
the way and never remained out in
the full light longer than was abb
solutely necessary. When there
was an open spot to cross it fed SO
swiftly as to seem little more than
q shadow itself. It was Reddy Fox.
The other figure was stout and
chunky. It moved slowly as If
nothing could hurry it, and always
moved straight ahead and seemed
as well content in the light as when
hidden In the shadows. It was
Prickly Porky, the Porcupine. You
see, Reddy Fox had dared Prickly
Porky to come with him to Farmer
Evening star., 1940-03-09

Browns henhouse and steal a
chicken. Prickly Porky had said
that he would not steal the chicken,
but that he would go with Reddy
just to show the latter that he,
Prickly Porky, had no fear Of Farm
er Brown or Bowser the Hound.
Now when Reddy made this
foolish dare he had not believed
that Prickly Porky would go and
he had not intended to 60 himself.
But there were so many of the
little meadow people and forest
folk waiting to see them start that
he could not back out.
As they approached the henhouse
Reddy sneaked from brush to tree
Evening star., 1940-03-09


and from trees to fence. He
crawled fat on his stomach and
the rustic Of a leaf made him jump.
But Prickly Porky plodded along in
the most ,unconcerned manner.
The thousand spears hidden in his
coat ratified as he walked and they
made Reddy 50 nervous that he
could hardly contain himself.
Don't make such noisel" begged
Reddy.
"Why not? What are you afraid
of" asked Prickly Porky.
Till amt afraid of-what was

lay very nat.

At last they were close to the
