Williams Farmers Score Loan Limi ‘Williston, N. D., Feb. 24.—()—Be- jHeving that limitation to $400 for each |farm and $1,600 to the tenants of the single land owner will seriously hand- icap a number of farmers in the coun- ity, Williams county farmers and bus- iness interests are prepared to join iin @ movement seeking a liberaliza¢ |tlon of the regulations governing ttte / lissuance of seed loans under ey re- jeent federal act. They feel that the limit of $3 ‘s low enough and that there shouxd not be > ‘a limit on the acreage m4 ‘which such ‘sum is loaned. They wail the average farm in the state 1s 470 acres and many in Williams county are larger. In the case of tenants of compan- f jes hojaig @ dozen or more farms in the “county they point out that the -~-tenants of such land owners will be inadequately served by the federal funds available.

With the fall of Chinchowfu to Japanese forces, the Chinese have moved south of the wall, and that ancient barrier now forms the frontier be- tween Chinese and enemy territory as it did for cepturies after its con- struction. A bulletin from the Na- tional Geographic society tells of this great engineering wonder of the ‘world, “In a world of airplanes, bombs, heavy artillery and high explosives, the Great Wall of China is of no value, as an obstacle to an enemy army,” says the Bulletin. “Because this is true and has been for a long time, the Great Wall has come to ‘be looked upon by many as a pro- digious folly. But in its day it was of incalculable value to the peace- loving Chinese who were able for considerable periods to keep the ‘Northern Barbarians’ out of their country. Once Effective Barrier. “The wall was effective because enemies of the northern plains e came against China with unorgan- ized armies of cavalry, which, many times, beat ineffectively against the well-mannered barrier. There were occasions, it is true, when the hordes broke through; but these successful forays and the losses that flowed from them strikingly empha- size the value of the wall through the many years when it functioned successfully. “Astronomers have speculated that the Great Wall is one of the few works of man on earth that would be discernible by the naked eye from the moon. No other, single engineering accomplishment | of any age compares with it in size, extent, and construction difficulties. | Starting at sea level at Shanhaik- | wan on the Gulf of Chihil, it reaches ‘ an altitude of 9,900 feet among the mountains of western China. In the intervening area it crosses sev- eral mountain ranges quite or. near-’ f ly a mile high. be “The Great Wall is not a single Structure but a system with sec- t tions built at different. times. Its i magnitude can be best understood Le if it is imagined that it were taken bodily up and set down in the United States, with its eastern end at Philadelphia. This transplanted wall would extend half way across the American continent. “The Great Wall is at its best in the eastern section. There its sheer their spring convention here March 8 to 10, Rev. A.
