AND THE SMALL FARMER
(Article by Oregon Cooperative Hay
Growers).
The advocates of the rural credit
legislation which lias just been ap
proved by the president have said
great tilings lor it. This was true ot
l ho War Finance corporation, which
gave little if any relief to small
farmers. T he new hill, however, was
Framed with the idea of providing
cheaper money lor agricultural ex
pense, cheaper money to finance
livestock operations and to offer
marketing organisations certain fi
nances at reasonable Interest rates.
The farmers of the Irrigated dis
tricts have been giving this bill
considerable study and have built a
(..tain amount of hope thereon.
The Hay Growers association have
ttls obeen studying I he pi nMem pre
sented by Oils bill, with the hope of
securing belter finances for their
members than they at present enjoy.
Business men feel that If it is pos
slbl to obtain cheaper money for the
small farmer, (hat every reasonable
effOrl : hould be put forth to forward
the movement.
Just how disirable and just how
ai sslble is this federal money, and
what in US I be done to secure it? And
Is thin wilhin the reach of the irriga
tion farmer?
In answer tO these questions it
seems possible to slate with reason

which will be charged by Iho federal
government will be 5 Mi per cent.

THE GARDEN OF THE GODS
TN THE nestling vales and on the
grassy plains which lie ut the foot
of the Great White mountain that
points the way to heaven lived the
Cle. sen People, Here they dwelt In
happiness together. And above them,
on (lie summit of the mighty peak,
Where stands the western gates to
heaven, dwelt the Munitou.
In order that the Chosen People
might know of his love, the Munitou
stumped upon the peak the Image of
his face, that nil might see and wor
ship him. And there euch day the
Chosen People came to pray and wor
ship, where the first bright rays of
the rising sun embossed the Image in
i heir golden floW. There In happi
ness they dwelt, their reulm extend
ing Just as far as they might see the
face of Munitou over hill und plain.
nd the land was fair und the chosen
tribe was envied by all the dwellers
if the plains who knew not Munitou.
Hut one day, as the storm clouds
played about the I'euk, the Image of
the Munitou was hid. Lotv. hanging
ClOUdS swept down from out the sky
and crept to earth In mist and fog and
rain, and the happy, smiling face of
Miinltmi was bid, and none could see
It. And down from the north swept
a barbaric host of giants, tuller than
the spruce Which grew upon the moun
tain side und sii great that they shook
the earth with their strides.
With the Invading hosts came ter
rible beasts, unknown and awful In
their mightiness, monstrous boasts
that would devour the earth and tread
It dOWtt. And us they came on the
Chosen People were frightened, and
In their fear they Hod to the Holy
Mount, for In the sight of their titanic
foes they were as grasshoppers.
As the Invading tribes came on, the
Chosen People fell on their faces and
prayed to Munitou for aid. Then came
to pass a wondrous miracle. The
clouds broke away and sunshine smote
the peak. And from the very sum
mit, looking down upon the valley and
the plains appeared the Munitou him
self. Sternly he looked upon the In
vaders, and as he looked the giants
and the beasts turned Into stone.
As then they stood, the giants stand
today. Their scattered bands, now
rock of red and brown, are found to
cast and math, tinie-uorn and scarred,
with legs deep burled in the drifting
Minds. Some holder than the rest
are near the mount, and some are far
away In sheltered canons as If they
SOUgbt lo bid. Some hold their
KhleldS uplifted as If to meet the
stony ga.e of Munitou, while others.
rroUchOd In horror, were struck dumb
and turned to stone there where they
stood. The iieasts the giants drove
Hre stranger still - big, clumsy ele
phants with clumsy trunks; camels
ii ml massive hears ami timid deer;
.month, glossy beaver with Hat, scnly
lulls; huge frogs and timid turtles.
All were changed and stand today
as they stood then when, living, they
detled the Manltou.
They covered all the valley these
living men ntid hearts now turned to
stone. And If you doubt this story,
Q and see tlieiu Standing there today
us they stood then. Time worn and
gtay they are from countless storms,
half-hurled In the sweeping sands, and
vet If you look Closely you can see
their forms, the glaiits and the beasts
that hoped to steal the laud where
dwelt the tribesmen who were our fa
thers.
When the white men came they
called the spot the Harden of the
Hods, because, they say, the rocks are
.Meat and odd; hut we who know the
story of the race slill call It "Valley of
die Miracle," for here It was that
Manltou gave aid lo save his chosen
people and left there these rocks and
forms of men nil turned to stone
as warning to nil of us who may
some time attempt detlance to him and
his commands.
Note -The I'tes for years lived on
I he eastern slope of the Rockies, with
their big town situated near what Is
now the city of Colorado Springs, This
legend refers to the tlarden of the
Cods, just outside the city of Manltou
