MUCH MONEY TO LOAN.

throughout the United States Is availa
ble for farm mortgage loans under the
provisions of the federal reserve act
making it possible for national bank
ing associations to lend money on im
proved lands.
Scores of Inquiries concerning this
provision reach the treasury depart
ment dally and there does not seem
to be a general understanding that the
farm loan clause of the act Is now In
force and makes It possible for na
tional banks to make farm loans be
fore the" formal organisation of the
federal reserve booard.
The estimate of Comptroller Willi
ams Is based on reports showing the
capital stock and surplus of national
banks to bo 91,777,000,000. Twenty
five per cent of this amount, or 1444,
Z60.000, Is available for farm loans.

Folks in Session.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. Officials of tlio Wash
ington government characterize the
Mexican situation as extremely deli
cate. This comment referred particu
larly to the mediation conference,
which hns been resumed nt Niagara
Falls, but It also applied to conditions
In northern Mexico growing out of the
action of General Villa in Insisting
that ho should have complete military
control in tho cutnpalgn against Gen
eral Huerta. Hope for the success of
mediation, however, was by no moans
abandoned, according to persons in
close touch with tho administration,
and this hope was said to be largely
based on tho developments in the con
stitutional ranks, the view being
held here that intcrnlclno squabbles
among Carranza's followers had been
nipped and that this enhanced the
chance of an agreement being reached
upon a provisional president of Mex
ico and that internal Mexican hosltlll
ties might be checked.

most auspicious opening In the history

All during the afternoon and early
evening cars and automobiles carried
the editors and members of their fam
ilies to the grounds. It was like a
homecoming. The parking in front of
the registration and reception tent
was turned into a quarterstretch. It
was the time for handclasps and greet
ings. Editors. gathered in groups and
told yarns. Some of them were ac
cused of telling the same tales they
had spun one' and two years ago, but
age put no damper on tho applause.
Every one was in a happy frame of
mind. .

Niagara Falls, Ont. The Huerta

ence hns issued a statement charging
that the Insistence by the United
Stntcs on a constitutionalist for the,
provisional presidency as opposed to a
"neutral" was "tantamount to abetting
and oven exacting fraud and violence
at tho elections." The publication of
this statement was unexpected by tho
American delegates. When they
learned of It their attitude was that
the Huerta delegation was acting en
tirely within their rights when they
criticised tho American plan for es
tablishment of a provisional govern

the Americans themselves, but they
wcro greatly surprised bv the Mexican

Deadwood, S. D. Intense patriotism

a local citizen Is nllegod to havo

The cultivation of tho soil and the
work of orcharding will never go
hand in hand. The two industries
need, attention nt tho same time and'
tho, practical farmer will not give up
his crops to spray and prune his or
chards. There must bo a practical
separation of tho two industries or
this state will nover bo a fruit state.
At the present tlmo there aro prac
tically 2,000,000 apple trees In the state
which produced about an equal num
ber of bushels of tho fruit last year,
which Is about one-tenth of the
amount of fruit that tho number of

of Prof. J. R. Cooper before the Rural

sentativo one-half bushel sample muBt
also be exhibited at tho show. A re
port giving tho jleld, signed by the

Clean the Separator.
No one should place any confidence s
in an agent's claim of separators being
able to wash thomselvcs by Blmply
running water through them, says the .
dairy department of the Nebraska col
lege of agriculture. "Such claims nr
not made by men who have tho dairy
ment's interests at heart. Washing a
separator Is not a very difficult task
lit done soon after separating. The,
water for washing should be warm,
but not hot enough to cook the curd
on any of the parts. If it Is not con
venient to wash the machine lmmeql
' . after separating, the bowl should
I ken apart and immersed In water.
This will loosen all tho curd and make
washing comparatively easy. If the
parts are scalded-wlth hot water t
steam after washing and left Id a v
clean, sweet place to dry, no wlpiag
with a cloth will be necessary. .
To Kill All Stray Dogs.
Health officers of Cass county hare
been ordered to kill all stray dogs
there and to muzzle all remaining
dogs who bave owners. The order
was promulgated by the state bac
teriologist, following the report that
two cows, two steers, two horses and
twenty-five dogs bare been killed there
during the past month on account of
affliction with rabies. The "disease
has been transmitted from one of these
animals to another through bites. Thus
far the disease has been confined to
Cass county, as far as the state health
authorities know. They believe that
by attention to their orders from now
on all trace of it can be wiped out.
Half of the swine pens at the state
fair grounds have been engaged by
exhibitors. Superintendent E. Z. Rus
sell of Benson, who Is In charge of the

unusual condition of affairs," said Mr.
Russell. "Three months before the

The enrollment of the university
