THE FARMER'S OPPORTUNITY. Description of the method of borrowing money on farms on the government plan through the First Jcint Stock Land Bant ofr • 4*ort Wiyne. Ind. The idea is to loan money on farms for Jogger pAiAls practice now.wts. aftithoiztll ®ide£jhe Federal Farm Loan A,ct, effective July, 1916. «*■ This law snakes it possible'for toft, farmers to make money by borrow ing money. It is the intention tc place money within the reach of the- . farmer oh rtrctr -terms as to cotivor” ' the farm mftrtgSfcc- ixyo a sou We' o's profit; j . The mono/ may . w * ts buy land tor agricfil'tiual ''-purposes to purchase equipment, such as teams, machinery, live stock, to provide beneficial improvements, structure;- til ing, drainage, fencing, buildings, etc The money is loaned on the “amort ization plan” which means the paying off of the indebtednes by install rnents of a fixed amount, throughout a period of years. As an exampie—On a loan of SI,OOO jpayment would be S7O a year, which payment applies upon interest and ■principal, paying off loan in 33 years j Upon a Ten Thousand Dollar loan, the payment each year would be S7OO Borrower may pay off part or all of loan after five years, Loans made up to one-half of the 1 value of the land and 20 per cent of i the insurable value of the improvement. I NO COMMISSION LOANS MADE i TO BORROWER AT COST. I No restrictions are placed on the i use of the motfey you borrow and t your affairs aj;o not subject to the scrutiny of others. t You are not worried about a renew- < al, not the jtrouWa and expense of one < Vou have- no uncertainty about in- f terest rates. You have liberal prepay- j ment privileges after five years. You do not tie up yourself or your land. , Eevery payment you make reduces - your principle as well as the interest, so that at the expiration of the loan ' the entire debt lias been -discharged. ' Such an opportunity as this should give courage to an enterprising farmer to buy more land, to improve his farm and live stock and have the use and profits therefrdm.

ON HAND AGAIN Are Mitts—Quaint Old Custom is Revived — Gauzy Lace TO PARTIALLY COVER The Arms—Old Fashioned Bracelets Are to Be Much Used, Too. Oh mit of lace, so old and quaint Again on hand today, We welcome you with open arms, Omit all gloves, we say. By Margaret Rohe. Written for the United Press) New York, July 29. —Madame Im Mode has thrown down the gauntlet. In Paris they are going, or perhaps I should say coming out, strong for bare arms, as well as bare legs. With her skirts nearly up to hear stockingless knees and her sleeves nearly up to her gloveless shouldersj the petite Parisienne is a bare-faced advocate of extreme decolette. She is caught bare-handed at the most fashionable of functions. She has said “Off with the gloves.” and there no kidding about it —not even undressed kid. On the other hand, though American fashion has always been hand in glove with Parisian mode, we will show our more conservative tendencies by stripping off our gloves, it is true, but not stripping our arms entirely. We treat our arms as we do our nether limbs and wear them, not bare this season, but barely covered in lace mitts as sheer and openwork as our hosiery. _ Lace mitts, like Grandma used to wear when Grandpa took her to tread a stately minuet, will now be donned by granddaughter when some grandson takes her to a jazz-accompanied by shimmy. On black or white silk lace or real lace these old style mitts are really lovely find fitting accessories to the frocks or organdie Md taffeta, topped off with a floppy .Ts’mrn or a coquettish Kate Greenaway bonnet. Omit the mitts and quaint wrist bows of narrow black velvet ribbon or- Heaps of bracelets do their bit to 11 I I : .. mme «« otherwise nuae arm. burjf .vwijtj only f 0 expected that should return to favor when the short sleeve appeared. Dame fashion had them up her sleeve all the time, but tjiey only came to the sartorial surface when her sleeves were shorn. Now’ where glove makers repine, jewellers rejoice. They hasten to comply with alacrity and with the novelties when lovely woman holds out supplicating arms plead-, ing to be loaded with gold and gen-J inerusted shackles —not overlooking, a platinum shackle or two byway of diversity. Old fashioned wide bracelets of onyx and jet are stunning with fluffy! summer dresses and the carved coral and cameo bracelets of long ago are greatly in demand. Our right hand may not know what our left hand is doing, but our ears and neck seem to know. For ever as we lend a hand to make the bracelet fashionably secure, it follows that we must lend an car or two from which to dangle matching old fashioned earrings of onyx. jet. coral apd cameo to go with our bracelets. Bare throats then stretch out for their share of spoil and must needs I complete the set with locets of cameo, coral, jet, or onyx, swaying on a length of narrow black velvet or grosgrain ribbon. And for all this the peeling off. or repealing of the glove, is answerable. Not content with a remittance of mitts, the bracelets are snapped on' our wrists and it ends, as usual, by! our getting it in the fashionable! neck.

Well, ev I ery airplane motor before it is mount cd has to be tested and to be tested it is attached to a huge bench or platform and ran continuously at top speed, with hundreds of horse power back of it, for at least 24 hours and some times 48. I During that period of time nobody living within hearable distance can possibly sleep. At Suresnes, where motors arc tested for 4S hours, it has been necessary to close an adjacent school. At Puteaux, the inhabitants declare they have not slept for months At Courbexoie the city council has resigned as a means of protest. At Clichy, the city had bought r large tract of land for the erection of a municipal hospital. Airplane fa< tories during the war installed them selves in the vicinity and the medica’ , authorities now refuse to let the city build its hospital in such a death ( insuring locality. The Department of the Seine has been forced in the interest of public health to take measures to stop the 1 airplane factories and get them mov ed into more isolated localities. ,44*444 4 *4 44444444 4 HOW IT WAS DONE <4 4 4 4 Berlin.
