Chicago, November 22. A whole-1 sale bankruptcy among Midwest far mers threatens on March 1st, 1923, unless immediately steps are taken to provide machinery for advancing a long time credit to agriculture. Whatever happens on March 1st, it cannot be a liquidation of present debts, according to a statement just issued by T. W. Moorhotfse, Director of the Research Department of the American Farm Bureau Federation. A new credit arrangement will save farmers from bankruptcy and permit a refunding. Mr. Moorhouse points out that the total farm mortgage debt is now esti mated to be around $8,000,000,000. This represents an increase of 132 per cent since 1910. The biggest vol- New Farm Loans nVmntfV W A Vf nnpalifviica r, i U A mpri. can Farm Bureau Federation, says a new credit arrangement must be adopted immediately if we are to prevent wholesale bankruptcy of mid-western farmers on March 1. ume of loans is in Iowa. Fifty-eight per cent of the loans are outstanding in the twelve East North-Central and West North-Central States. A great part of these loans are in the form of five year mortgages and were taken during the early days of the war in order to make possible the necessary expansion to meet in creased food requirements for the armies. Present Farm Loan Limits Big Operations. In discussing the present credit system, Mr. Moorhouse's report shows that the Federal Farm Loan System has served very effectively in financ ing small land farmers. Federal Land Banks at present can loan but $10,000 to one person. "This limita tion bars farmers operating the most economical farm units in the great est food producing areas in the Uni ted States. The Federal Farm Loan Act doe not limit the amount of the loan that can be made by the Joint Land Banks, but the Federal Farm IT ISrt'T THE FELLEIJ WHO HONKS Hl HORN TM' LOUDEST it' THE FELLER WHO 3tEE THE BEST THAT GUTS THERE " m Bl.. iX yWii'if.iiJl Goes And Gets 'em E Loan Board has imposed the limita tion of $50,000. "The Federal Farm Loan system provides for loans on farm land for a maximum period of forty years and for the payment of the loan on the installment basis spread over the en tire loan period. The initial stock of the twelve Federal Land Banks was supplied in the first instance by the United States Government, but has gradually been purchased by the borrowers from the banks until the amount of stock owned by the Gov ernment ia about one-eighth or $4, 000,000 out of 132,000,000. Saving of 23 Per Cent on Annual ' Interest Payments. Mr. Moorhouse emphasizes the nec essity for passing legislation which will remove the $10,000 loan limit from the Federal Farm Loan Banks. "With the removal of this limit far mers can make their loans through this agency and will be able to re finance their business. On a total indebtedness of $8,000,000,000 the farmers are paying an average yearly interest of 7V per cent. They are paying in interest $600,000,000 a year. With the $10,000 loan limit removed from the Federal Land Banks and farmer loans transferred to this agency there would be a saving in in terest rates alone of over $200,000, 000 a year." HOMEY PHILOSOPHY for 1922 Once upon a time there was a man named Russel Sage. He died many times a millionaire. He never spent a penny he was not compelled to spend. He bought his summer under wear in the winter-time and his win ter clothing in July. He paid fifty cents for straw hats, when merchants were throwing away their left overs in September. Thus he amassed a huge fortune, which two of his nep hews are now spending. They buy in season with the money Sage left and enjoy the buying with the human touch Sage could not leave. He never knew it. Buying in seasons spells universal prosperity and human hap piness. But buy early. The rush stimulates prices. Everything needed for Christmas is now in stock, and the early bird catches the worm. The worm may be foolish to get up, but he's up, in every store. So shop now.

Associate Forester U. S. Forest Service Editor's Note: A. E. Sherman ia As sociate Forester in the Uuited States Forest Service and a man who has given years of his life to the perpetu ation of government timber stands. The wood pulp for print paper manu facture lituation is one that should interest every man who reads, and that means almost all our citizen ship. The following offers one solu tion of the present difficulties. The water front of the little town of Ketchikan, Alaska, was the scene of unusual activity during the month of September, occasioned by the load ing of a stately five-masted schooner with a cargo of lumber for shipment to Australia. The big "five-sticker" was brought up from Seattle by a tiny tug and maneuvered into posi tion convenient to the Ketchikan sawmill. Her cargo was to consist of 1,800,000 feet of spruce lumber manu factured locally from logs purchased from the government and cut from the great Tongass National Forest. This is the first complete shipload of lumber for marketing in a foreign country. The order is in part the re sult of the favorable impression which Sitka spruce cut from the Alas kan forests for airplane material made upon the lumber-consuming public during and immediately follow ing the world war. Stocks which were rejected for defect during the war or remained unconsumed at its termina tion were sold in the regular lumber market and were found to possess such admirable qualities as to arouse a keen demand for further supplies of the same quality. This first schoon er load is part of a 6,000,000 foot or der received from Australia. The logs for its completion are already being rafted to Ketchikan, and the entire amount will probably be on its way before December 1. When loaded each schooner will be taken in tow by a tug and safely conducted past Cape Chacon into the Pacific Ocean, where sails will be spread for the long voyage of about 10,000 miles to an Australian port. The trip will con sume about five months. Other Shipments. Although this is the largest and most important shipment of lumber made from Alaska this year it is not the only one by any means. From a small mill at Wrangell a shipment of 45,000 feet was made to the London market, another shipment of 450, 000 feet for consumption at Atlantic Coast ports, and numerous shipments intended for nearer points. These ac tlvities have resulted in giving em New Champion Mickey Walker, 20 years old, of Elizabeth, N. unknown three years ago, is the new welterweight champion of the world.

The timber which has thus enter ed into export trade was cut frcm the Tongass National Forest which occupies the panhandle portion of Al aska, that coastal strip extending southeasterly from the main body of the Territory and lying between Bri tish Columbia and the Pacific Ocean. This Forest embraces about 15,000,- 000 acres and has a total stand of timber estimated at approximately 7? billion feet board measure, of which 20 per cent is Sitka spruce, 60 per cent western hemlock, and the' re mainder mixed species. The timber is cut under Government regulation ith a view to the perpetuation of the forest, the continuation of .in creased growth, and the betterment of silvicultural conditions generally. Strangely enough, thia cargo of lumber cornea from a National reser vation which only a few years ago was condemned by short-sighted critics upon the ground that the tim ber was valueless and eould never be used upon a commercial basis for any purpose. For frint riper. The officers of the Forest Service state that these shipments of com mercial timber to foreign ports are merely an ad interim activity pend ing the eventual establishment in that region of the newsprint manu facturing industry. The Tongass Na tional Forest has been divided Into 14 regions, each one having a stand of timber sufficient to furnish a perpe tual supply to a paper mill manu facturing 200 tons a day. The bound aries of the region have been drawn as to include within each unit poten tial water power sufficient in quanity for such a mill and possible of de velopment at a reasonable cost per hundred horse power, f our or nve different outfits have either made ap plication for area contracts with the Government or have their agents at work in the field preparatory to do ing so. In addition to the 14 areas segre gated for regional development, neu tral sones have been estaDiisnea ior supplemental stocks and to supply the needs of settlers ana an local ae- mands. Eighty-six per cent of the timber used by Alaskan Industries is now being cut from the National Forests of the Territory. It is plann ed to sell to pulp mills only the equivalent of that part of the annual growth not needed lor local use. Meanwhile, pending the establish ment of the paper manufacturing in dustry, the Government is willing to sell in reasonable quantites and at a reasonable rate the over-mature tim ber in order that a new forejt may come om It is anticipated that even tually there can be cut from the National Forests in Alaska sufficient pulpwood to produce one-third of this nation's present total annual c sumption of paper. Tuberculosis on Decline, Much Cred it. Being Due Seal Sale. Large Purchase This Year Requested. Health Associations In Charge. The fifteenth annual sale of Christ mas Seals by the Oregon Tuberculosis Association, will be launched through out the state December first and con tinue throughout the month, closing Christman eve. Never before has the state been so well organized, from the most remote rural district through its school or settlement, down to the large cities, and for that reason the most successful campaign in the history of the organization is anticipated. Mrs. Sadie Orr-Dunbar, Executive Secretary of the Association who has spent much time throughout the state during the past two months, setting up the organization, says of the value of the work: "I want to call atten tion of the people of the state tb the fact that in 1904 200 of every 100,000 deaths occurring wers due to tuber culosis and that in 1921 only 100 of every 100,000 deaths were due to this disease. Is this saving worthy of the continued support of the people of the state? The answer in past years has been a boost for a healthier Or egon by means of a liberal purchase of Seals. The purchase must be lib eral, as our budget for all our work throughout the state for the coming year is $40,000 and our only scource of income is the sale of Seals at i penny apiece." The county public health associa tions, which are branches of the Or egon Tuberculosis Association, will be in general charge of the Sale in their counties, the following persons acting as chairmen: Benton, Corvallls Womans Club, Corvallis; Clackamas, Mrs. Mary R, Caufield, Oregon City; Clatsop, Mrs, Doris Wirkkala, Astoria; Coos, Mr. MS SEAL SALE TO Poem by VfJunck fohn IF If I was a woman as sweet as a rose attractin' admirers wherever she goes, I'd exercise jedgment and never would fret to marry the fust man I thought I eould get. . . .

The Sunday School is one of the greatest agencies in America for the education the moral education of the youth of this land. Through that moral education they can be fitted for citizenship, for domestic responsibility, and for re ligious service. The Sunday School is the greatest agency in America today for the accomplishment of these purposes. Christianity is a personal touch and power because it deals with the individual. Salvation is a personal affair. Sin is a personal entity. There fore, the Sunday School deals with the Individual child, brings him to the knowledge of God's Word, pre sents to him Christ, teaches him Christian ideals; urges, him to be loyal to the government, true to the flag; demands that he be temperate sober, righteous, clean, industrious, and faithful to home, to church, and to God. The Sunday School demands of all people undivided support, sympathy 1 politeness, to call me a "Jane." If I was a woman that pined fer a mate, I wouldn't step sideways to monkey with "fate.". ... I wouldn't trust nothin that couldnt be proved till I fished up a jay that was fit to be loved.
