More than $220,000,000 has been
loaned to farmers by the Federal Farm
Land banks, at a low rate of interest
and on long terms. Prior to the pass-
age of the Farm loan act farmers paid
from 8 to 15 per cent for short term loans,
Yet Republican hostility to anything
accomplished by Democrats is so intense
that a jRepublican Congressman would
exempt the Farm Loan bonds from
taxation, destroy the system and restore
the farmers to the clutches of the mort-
gage bankers,
A SAAS
The only serious effort ever made to
end war has been given the endorsement
of thirty-two nations, It is generally
conceded that the League of Nations
has little chance of success without the
participation of the United ~ States.
That participation must be with the
approval of the Senate, It is within the
bounds of possibility that the hostility of
a few Republicans, inspired by partisan-
ism to one man, the President, is going
to defeat the plan to end war? uo
Some reactionary Republican Senators
would have us—and all the world besides
~believe that the only interest this
country has in"foreign nations is interest
on American investments, And still
they seem to forget that peace must pre-
cede prosperity, here and abroad ; that
we can not recover our trade with Eu.
rope until, with our help, Europe has re-
established peaceful governments,

Senator Brandegee, Republican, waan-

the Senate's inquiry into the possession
of unofficial copies of the peace treaty
had ‘‘done any damage”—and got it.
“1 cannot see that any damage has
been done unless |it be through with.
drawing the attention of the Senate from
the very serious questions before it,”
Mr. Root replied. —
German recalcitrance toward the
peace terms followed Republican oppo-
sition to the League of Nations and the
Senatorial attack on President Wilson.
These things may not have the rela
tion, but they certainly were in the order
of cause aud effect,

able damage in Snyder county, razing
barns, leveling crops and badly washing
fields. A vast amount of grain and fruit

roof off his barn, wrecked a new garage

Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army

these organizations could operate when

all times their reputation for work well

fault-finding which at one time was pre-
valent. The great majority of the 'Y’

that much fearless, untiring work was
