At first sight there does not seem to be a very close connection between the war in Europe and head hunting in the Solomon islands. Nevertheless, the one arises from the other. Previous to the outbreak of the war, according to a Vancouver World’s Sydney (N. S. W.) correspondent, Brit ish, and occasionally German war ships patrollyed the islands and en deavored to keep down cannibalism among the natives, who are largely of Papuan or Malaysian stock. How ever, the requirements for the trans port of troops led to the recall of the British warships—and the happy head hunter hac been free to follow his own devious courses. In one raid made by a mountain tribe upon a small village near the coast no less than 2G heads were se cured. No punishment followed be cause the whites were unable to or ganize in time. As a consequence the raids are growing more dangerous and, although as yet no Europeans have been attacked, planters have con stantly to keep on their guard. Russia’s Natural Roads. Russia is almost a readless land. It Is inconceivable to the foreign visitor who has never left the beaten track of the railways in Russia how a great em pire can have subsisted so long and so successfully without even a pretense at roads. The secret lies in the fact that for live or six months in the year na ture herself provides roads over the greater part of Russia—admirable, smooth, glassy roadways over hard worn snow. The traffic is further cheapened over these roads by the substitution of a sledge-runner for the wheel and axle. This brings the cost of land carriage as near the cheapness of water-borne freight ns possible and it is the princi pal reason why Russia in the twentieth century is still a roadless laud. Danger From Mosquitoes. The most dangerous of the biting in sects is said by most entomologists to be tlie mosquito, and the species which is the chief carrier of malaria is found very widely distributed throughout the world. As a rule individuals do not wander far on their own account, but they can be blown considerable dis tances by a wind, and they have a habit of traveling about in trains and ships. The female hibernates through out the winter, and, it is reported, has been found under the frozen snows of Siberia, mingled with the moss and snow.

From tho St. Lo«is Republic. iii© ifuerai rur«u aw is vnw Ihe outstanding achievements of the pres ent congress. Why are average Interest rates paid by American farmers on mortgage loans one third higher In the state where they are .owest than the average rates paid by the German farmer, and In some states more than twice as high? Because farm loans ;n this country are made direct from the ndlvtdual lender to the Individual farmer, run for only five years and are subject to heavy fees for appraisals, Inspections, etc., on account of the short time, odd amounts and lack of system. The new act provides for the formation of 12 land banks. The capital will be sub scribed by the national government, If not taken otherwise. (This merely Insures the starting of the banks; a like provision was Inserted Into tho federal reserve act). Farmers desiring farm loans will form farm loan associations, which will borrow for their members, from the farm loan bank, the amount of their loans. The farm loan association must consist of at least 10 members, who must be borrow ers. The association will elect officers, pass on the security of the land offered make appraisals and Inspections. Each borrower will subscribe for stock In the farm loan bank to the amount of 5 per cent of his loan. This will not be paid In cash, but will be added to the amount of his loan, and when the loan Is paid off, the stock will be repurchased from him. The money the farmer borrows will at first be supplied from the capital stock of the farm loan banks. The least amount to one borrower will be $100, the greatest $10,000. As soon as the farm loan bank makes loans enough, It will Issue farm loan bonds, secured by Its own resources, by the mortgages It holds, and by a fur ther liability on the part of the borrowers. These bonds will bring in the capital nec essary to make further loans. The loans will run from five to 40 years, and will be tnet by payments at stated Intervals which will Include the interest, the expense of wouuuakiauuu turn a pei ui iuw principal. It Is probable that the total payment will not exceed the Interest pay ment now required In most parts of the country. The farmer who borrows today borrows for five years, and his whole loan comes duo at once. The farmer under the new law will borrow for 40 years—If he so de sires—and his loan will come due In many many small Installments. The farm loan bonds will be free of all taxes, just as United States bonds are now. The farm er-borrower will be, himself, an owner of bank stock and a member of a farm loan association, which he will help conduct; he will thus be receiving a practical finan cial training of great value, and will be carrying his share of responsibility—ex pressed In a direct liability—for farm loans made by his association In his neighborhood. And the Investor desiring to Invest In farm loans will no longer buy Individual mortgages In odd sums, taking, himself, the chance of the security proving Insufficient. He will buy bonds secured by the capital stock of the land banks, the farms mortgaged and a definite stockholders' liability beside. These bonds will be free of all taxes, which will make them desirable Investments, and they can be bought In round sums—say $100 each. How many farmers In the tfnlted States have worked too hard, seen their wives breaking under the strain of long hours and few conveniences, kept the boys out of college and Impoverished their land, In order to meet a five-year mortgage draw ing high Interest? How would those farm ers have regarded a proposition to reducs the Interest from one-third to one-half, lengthen the period from five years to 40, with the privilege of paying out In less time, and pay the principal by small In stallments instead of at the end of the term? The rural credits act makes this change. There Is nothing exclusive In the new system. The states will still be free to de velop state rural credit systems, aB Mis souri Is now doing, and the two will no more conflict than our national banks and state banks conflict In Missouri today.
