FEDERAL BANKS SHOW INCREASE FOR LAST YEAR High Cost and Scarcity of Labor Eliminated Farm Prosperity, Says Statement. WASHINGTON. Jan. 1. Increase In the lending power of Federal land tanks and the grant of authority for them to write fire insurance on farm property were advocated by the farm loan board in Its annual report submitted today to congress. Modification of the Federal Farm loan act so as to make the minimum loan $500 instead of $100, and maximum loans $25,000 Instead of $10,000 also was urged. The report, which was the second made by the board, was described as covering "the first year of operation" of the farm loan system, the first year of the board being spent In organization. "The year was one of very evident progress," declared the report, which contained a table showing that farm loan associations increased from 1,839 to 3,439 during the year; that the capital of the twelve Federal land banks Increased from $10,488,230 to $16,250,285; that loans in force increased from $29,816,304 to $149,004,439; that joint stock land banks Increased from four to nine, and their loans now amount to $7,380,734; and that interest rates of the land banks was 6 or 6V6 per cent and that of land stock banks was 6 per cent. Statistics on Farm Loans. Interesting information as to the applications by borrowers of loans from the land banks was given In a detailed statement, dealing with about one- ' third of all the loans closed by the banks. This statement showed that 8 per cent of the proceeds of the loans were used to buy lands; 10 per cent for buildings and improvements; 60 per cent to pay off existing mortgages; 10 per cent for payment of other debts, - 6 per cent for purchase of bank stock; 4 per cent for purchase of live stock and 3 per cent for Implements and equipment. "The loaning of more than $150,000,000 has been of distinct and direct benefit to more than 64.000 borrowers." declared the report, "and has been of indirect benefit to every applicant for a farm through private agencies. "A distinct reduction, not only of the rate of interest on such loans, but also in the accompanying charges, was manifest immediately after the passage of the act. When general conditions made necessary in December, ; 1917. an advance of of 1 per cent 4 in the rate charged by Federal land banks, there was a proportionate increase in the rates charged by most of the private agencies, but these re tea, even in these days of stringency and stress, are little, if any, higher tban they were In normal times of easy money, prior to the establishment of the Federal farm loan system, and In many localities even lower. There could be no more conclusive proof of the regulatory effect of the system. Farmer Not So Prosperous. "While the loans made by Federal land banks in the last year probably represent only about one-eighth of the total loans made by all agencies they are far greater than any other single agency. Another illustration is therefore afforded of the truth that a market can bo usually controlled by one large buyer or seller, if all the rest of the buying and selling is split up into small lots." Despite the large production and high prices, net returns of agriculture in the 1918 crop year "was much less than Is popularly supposed," declared the report, which explained that big profits were eliminated by the scarcity of farm labor, its hi;h cost, as also that of fertilizers, implements and machinery.

HOW SWITZERLAND HANDLES THE BOLSHEVIKI PROBLEM

Switzerland has taken a drastic and effective method of dealing with Bolshevism which for a time threatened the life of the little nation. The Bolshevik mission had a representative in Switzerland at the close of the war. He was tolerated on his agreement to refrain from all propaganda activi-1 ties. A general strike throughout .the country was traced to the Bolsheviks. Their minister and his associates were ordered out of the country. When they ; refused to leave voluntarily the Swiss t authorities escorted them to the railroad station at Berne and placed them on a train bound for Russia. Swiss troops prevented any demonstration by fellow Bolsheviks.

He Had Lost 29 Pounds in Weight and Given up Hope. Mr. James R. Miller of Hartford

i City was in the city on one of his

trips to see the Inter-State Doctors from whom he has been taking treatment and when asked about these specialists he became very enthusiastic saying his first visit to their office in the Starr building. Cor. 10th and Main was the wisest move of his life. He also handed in the following statement of his Case and treatment so his friends may know where he received such skillful attention. Hartford City. Ind., Dec. 12, 1918. To the Inter-State Doctors: I want in this way publicly thank you for the manner in which you han-

dled my case and saved me from ths jjaws of death. I had been suffering for over a year with a general break

down. Doctored all the time could get no relief and no satisfaction as to what ailed me till I called on you last January. Before coming to you I had lost 29 pounds in weight. Practically going to nothing. Hadn't been able to do any work for 10 months. It seemed that death was my doom. I was induced to visit you people last January and I went to you expecting my case to be pronounced hopeless. Your Doctor Culver gave me a very careful examination and said I had an enlarged liver and breaking down of the left kidney and told me if it had gone much longer it would have resulted in general dropsy and death. He gave me some hope, however, and I placed myself under his care that day

and began treatment and it was the wisest move I ev.er made in my life. For today I am a living monument of your efficiency and skill. I began to improve rapidly in about two weeks

and have ever since been on the up grade. I went to work in 2 weeks and have been at it ever since and when I quit treatment I had gained 22 pounds in weight. Never felt better in my life and my friends think it nothing short of a miracle how you brought me out and rest assured I shall always have a good word for the Inter-State Doctors and I feel it my bounden duty to write this letter for publication and thus guide suffering humanity to the sure and safe" place to get relieved of their ills. JAMES R. MILLER. The Richmond Institute of InterState Doctors is located on the second floor of the Starr building, corner Main and Tenth.. The offices are at all times in . charge of a competent specialist who is prepared to give you a thorough and rigid examination for which he will make no charge. He will not accept for treatment any cases that he considers in his opinion to be of an incurable nature. The offices of the Institute are open to the public during the hours of 9 a. m. every Friday to 8 p. m. Doctor Culver

DOBRUDGA MATTER CAUSED BUL6ARGERMAN SPLIT

(By Associated Press) SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. 1. One of the principal causes which contributed towards the rupture of Bulgaria with

Germany, was the treatment by the latter of the Dobrudja question, which robbed Bulgaria of the prospect of attaining her national aspirations, and the tendency of Germany to favor Turkey's claim to the restoration of the strip of territory in Thrace, which the Turks under German pressure, had ceded to Bulgaria in September, 1915, as the price of Bulgaria's co-operation in the war. When German diplomacy, early In September of this year, realized that Bulgaria was bent on withdrawing from the war. a serious attempt was made to conciliate the Bulgarian government by the abandonment of the condominium established in the northern Dobrudja and a protocol to this effect was signed in Berlin between the Central allies. It was then hoped that this concession would induce Bulgaria to continue the war but it proved to be without success. The feeling produced both in Berlin and Vienna by this development can be readily imagined. The former Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, Baron Burlan, In a conversation with M. Focheff, the Bulgarian Minister in Vienna, was moved to wrathful Indignation and described M. Malinoff, the Bulgarian premier, as a traitor. There is much irritation in Bulgaria over the Dobrudja question. The Bulgarian government, which, in its several conversations with the GermanAustrian ministers at Sofia declared Itself content to reserve the question of the Dobrudja settlement by the Peace Congress, maintains the same attitude today. The government hopes that the fact that Bulgaria was the first state to withdraw from the war, and thus hasten the conclusion of a general peace, will not be overlooked. The scarcity of foodstuffs in Bulgaria constitutes a serious problem for the government, and if supplies are not soon forthcoming, there is great danger of a famine. One cause of this dearth of supplies was the wholesale and systematic draining of the country's resources by the Germans who, instead of reinforcing the Macedonian front, garrisoned the interior of Bulgaria with the sole object of collecting the produce of the country for dispatch to Germany. When the present government put an end to this exportation, the Germans resorted to the ruse of posting parcels through their own field post, and thus practically every German soldier became an exporter. The Bulgarian government was powerless to prevent the practice.
