Many Farm Loans Renewed at Low Interest Rates More Land Instruments Re corded at Fairhury in Last * . Fortnight Than in Like Period for Three Years. * F^lrbury, March S.—More Instru ment* affecting farm land have been recorded In the courthouse at Fair burj» in the last two weeks Ilian in the same length of time for at least three years past. In 1910, a great many land sales were made, at price* considerably higher than ever paid before. The (fettlements for these farnl*. In many cases came about March 1, 1920, and where mortgages were given, they were for five years whiqh made them fall due March 1, 1)25.-. This means that many mort gage* are being released and new ones filed, dated March 1. The time is fortunate for those who must se cure new loans as interest rates are down to the lowest figures agnin, in most cases 5 per cent with a small commission. One mortgage was filed here for $9,000, with Interest at 4 per cent but this seems lo have been a family affair. The highest priced farm sale re corded at this time was for a quarter section near Plymouth from John H. Koenig and others to Finest Orutnmert for $30,350. or almost $190 an a£re. Another sale where the Orutjimert famity were purchasers was lha Nider farm between Jansen and Ply mouth. One quarter of this farm coes on the records as sold for $27. 200. or $1*0 an acre, and the other quarter at $25,600, or $100 an acre. The deeds, are from John M. Nider and wife to Henry A. Grummert and from .Claude* C. Nider amf wife to Henry A. Grummert. A quarter section northwest of Harbine, is transferred from Han ford N. Strain to August Schroeder for $15,000, s’* little over $00 an acre. The Strain family will move to Crete io give the children an opportunity to attend Doane college. A quarter section farm near Ply* outh was transferred by John H. Aschenbeck to George H. Ruckmeier for a consideration of $23,200, or $145 an acre, *nd an SO by Aschen beck to William T. Nollenberg for $12,800, or $160 an acre. In Lincoln precinct, southwest of Kalrbury. n quarter is transferred from Hattie Warren and others to John Connell for $20,000, or $125 an acre. Southeast of Kalrbury. In Rock Creek precinct, a rough, unimproved 80 is transferred by Louie KUhonek 1o Herman A. Hardy for $4,800, or $60 an acre. An in Meridian precinct Is transferred by John Jurgena for $6,000, or $75 an acre. In Lincoln precinct, west-of Fairbury and south <>f Gladstone. 108 acres goes from George Rehzfng and others to Louts Malone for *10.$00 or $100 an acre. gome of these transfers may repre sent trades or settlements among l'amilieu but others are cash deals and may be said to fairly represent land values here, not particularly at this time, but during the last six months, when most of the deals were made, the papers being filed at this time.

But Rattles l« satisfied to catch only tiny fish. Ixmglegs the Heron js an other. He is a patient fisherman. Billy Mink is a third. And of course there is Kittle Joe Otter. But even Kittle Joe Otter is not more wonderful as a fisherman titan is Plunger the Osprey. It Is not for nothing that he is called a Fish Hawk. He does not patiently wait like Ionglegs the Heron. He goes looking for fish. If he does not find l hem in one place he goes to another. Sometimes lie flies for miles In search of good fishing. Now that he and Mrs. Plunger had completed their new nest near the edge of the Green Forest ami not far from Fainter Brown's, they went fishing. "We should celebrate, my dear," said Plunger to. Mrs. Plunger. "We should celebrate. I am going to catch the biggest fish I can find." Bo flying high above the Big River Plunger kept those wonderful eves of ills fixed on the water below. From that height he could look down right into the water and see for some distance below I he surface. No fish swimming near the surface could es cape those wonderful eyes. He flew far, far down the Big River. Several i ■«5» Mutilinl in thnsi* sicnl rtawi w«s tli.it big flail. time** he checked himseif in hi* flight and hesitated as if about to plunge downward.

At last, just below the surface of the Rig River, Plunger saw a fish that made his eyes gleam with eager ness. Jt was a big fish. Never had he irled to catch a fish as big as this one. For a, moment he hesitated. ” wonder if I can carry him way hac . to the nest,” thought Plunger. "A iyway. 1 can try.

Then he came to the surface and began to beat with those great wings of his. Clutched in those great claws of his was that big fish. Plunder heat and beat and beat those great wings, but the best he could do was to get just above the water. He couldn't lift that big fish wholly out of the water. He did his best, but that fish was too big and heavy. Plunger screamed with disappoint ment. He knew that he couldn't take that fish up Into the air and carry him borne. He knew that he would have tp let him go. \Alth an other scream of disappointment he tried to let go of that big fish. Im agine how he felt when he discovered that he couldn’t /et go!
