members of this Association will dc
rive the following advantages: They
will be able to borrow at a lower rate
Of interest than can be obtained from
any company; they will pay for what
they borrow, just what the association
pays for it; thus the actual cost
Of carrying on the work and any sur
plus collected above this will be re-
turned to them in the shape Of rebate
on their interest payments. They will
he protected from unjust and ruinous
foreclosures; they will be secure from
loss by reason of any assessment if they
carefully inspectand recommend
their land as herein proposed. The
machinery for making as we'll as sell
ing their loans will be in their own
hands; they will secure Il three years
period OF redemption if they have
honestly failed and are unable to pay
their interest when due. and they will
contribute to put their financial affairs
in such shape that IN a few Gears it
will be possible to borrow money on
the security Of their farm at IA low

for like securities in any part OF the

August. The same ratio, was sustained
during the three remaining days OF the
