Apply similar rules to farm loans as far
as they CO.
Loans made to men not above middle age,
secured by homesteads, should be given
preference, as the moral hazard under such
circumstances Is extremely good, as q man
OF family possessing the vigor OF his prime
will exert every energy to see that his OBJ
legation is met and the homestead given
as his pledge redeemed.
Loans made on property owned by non
residents, nonproducerk men OF declining
years and waning fortunes, dependent
widows, etc. are as a rule not desirable
where payment IL desired promptly at ma
turity, as experience has shown that In
such cases their financial condition gen
orally goes from bad to worse and II pay
ment is made at maturity It Is generally
made by having the loan taken uD by
someone else, readily accomplished on
rising market, but not so easily on de-
eiining market. Loans made TO men Of
old age frequently involve probate pro
ceedings which at times extend beyond
the time for payment and entail delay.
Loans should be confined to property where
the improvements are consistent with the
locality. A business block in strictly
residence district is as bad a brewery
In a prohibition state and should not be
looked upon with favor, Vacant city lots
should be on the prohibited list, as should
improvements used for questionable pur-
poses.
After being satisfied as TO security. an
abstract of title should be furnished by the
applicant for the loan and this should be
taken to a competent attorney for exami-
nation, who should also see that the mort
gage and note are properly drawn and
executed. The requirements Of the examin-
ing attorney, If any, should be infinitely
complied with before the loan is made.
The mortgage should contain a clause
stating that the improvements shall be
kept insured In reliable companies during
the tenure OF the mortgage and insurance
policies delivered and made payable TO
mortgage.
BY observing these rules, mortgage loans
az investments are practically as safe as
government bonds and yielding returns
comparing favorably with high-class in
dustrial and railway stock. without assum-
ing the risk OF having 10 face a shrinkage
