Russia Is convinced that von Hlndef

Is the first move In preparation tor
a great drive on Petrograd. Colncl
dent with the retirement of the Kals

that large numbers of soldiers and
quantities of munitions are being
massed on the northern boundary of
Germany.
Government leaders believe that
the Kaiser hopes to restore Czar
Nicholas to power by taking Petro
grad before the new government is
completely organized.
Socialists are demanding peace
immediately, causing the govern
ment much concern. One Socialist
newspaper is suggesting that the
Russian troops abandon the trenches.

RURAL CREDITS PLAN
POPULAR HERE.
' ' '""A
Will Prove ImpctUH to Htock and
Farming Intluatiiea In County
(1ms. W. Krxklne Outlines f
IlulcH for AppllcantM.
That he has applications for loans
from the State Rural Credits Loan
fund amounting to $20,000, is the
statement of Charles W. Erskine, at
torney for the Rural Credits depart
ment in this county. Mr. Erskine be
lieves that the total will be much
larger, as a number are waiting to
get an idea of the system employed,
from friends who have already asHed
for state money. So far the appli
cations have been chiefly from the
Redmond and Terrebonne sections,
and the granting of the loans is ex-.
pected to prove a great aid in the
farming and stock raising industries. ,
While In principle, the State Ru
ral Credits law is similar to that of
the federal law, it is more liberal in
scope, and more adaptable to the
needs of the farmer, because of the
absence of red tape, Mr. Erskine
says. According to the rules laid
down by the department, loans may
be made to Individuals who own, op
erate and occupy the farms offered
for security, and the funds may be
used in the payment for lands pur
chased, the purchase of livestock,
farm equipment, and other improver
ments. and the satisfaction of
encumbrances upon such lands which
were Incurred or assumed by the ap
plicant for any of these purposes.
,- $5000 Is Maximum. ;
- Another point of superiority over
the federal. laWj hi that while Joans
may be from 10 to 36 years In dura
tion, they may be paid In full od
any payment date, whereas the na
tional law places a five-year mini
mum. No loan may be made for
less than 1 200 or for more than
$5000. and ln'nb event for a greater
sum than one-half the value of the
land offered for security, exclusive
of Improvements, nor for more than
$50 an acre.
Poyments on loans are made on the
amortization system, so' that by the
end of the term of years for which
the money borrowed, both principal
and interest have been disposed of.
For a loan of $1000 this would .re
quire $130 a year, for a 10 year loan,
$80 a year on a 20 year basis, $65
annually for, 30 years, and $60 a year
for the full term allowed by the law.
The second form Is expected to prove
the most popular.
No limit, other than proper se
curity. Is placed on the amount which
,may be borrowed In this county, for
Must Be Residents,
when the $50,000 raised by the pur-:
chasing by the state of Us own rural
credits bonds, more funds may be
raised by the laond board by the
flotation of more bonds In Issues of
$50,000 each.
One important restriction is placed
on borrowing from the rural credits
fund, and that is in the matter of
residence. , The applicant must live
on the land offered as security.

"Rules governing the contest, are
drawn with a view of making the

entire yield, small as well as large
potatoes, from 10 hills, must be se

this way uniformity and standard
