they asked for. Mr.. Mason stated
thar the commissioner was satished
that the tonnage of freight that would

Many people take it after they have
had the grip. Their convalescence is
slow. They have suffered along for
month or two without any signs of
complete recovery. Then they resort
to Peruna as a tonic, with splendid
results.

Ohio, whose portrait appears above,
writes Il think l would have been
dead long ago if it had not been for
Peruna. Six years ago had la grippe
very bad. The doctor came to see
me every day. but I gradually grew
worse. l told my husband l thought
l would surely die If l did not get
relief soon.
'One day I picked up the news
paper and accidentally found testi-
monial of a woman who had been
cured of grip by Peruna. l told my
husband l wanted to try it. He went
directly to the drug store and got
bottle Of Peruna. ! could see the i'm

Mr. Victor Patreaude. US Madison

grippe and l never really recovered
my health and strength. but grew
weaker every year. until l was unable

that in n couple OF months was able

Ardmore, Friday, January 10, 1914
COMPARE THE TWO PLANS.

The United States commissioner
of agriculture credits has prepared
and placed before the senate com
mittee on banking and currency a
bill which provides for rural cred
its. 1t provides for a farm banking
measure as intricate as the nauohal
banking laws of the country. Here
are a few of the provisions OF the
measure: A federal fiscal agent
shall be appointed to supervise each
bank and shall receive a salary OF
sc 900 year; the national lana
banks may issue land bank bonds
to an amount fifteen times as much
as the capital and surplus; agencies
may be employed to sell and TO trade
in these bonds; banks are ORGANIZED
as other banks are by selling stock
to individuals; the bill proVlues
for a federal bureau to be known
as the Commissioner of Farm Land
Banks. the profits go first to the
shareholders, and second to the
persons transactng business with
the banks: the share-owning patrons
may have twice the dividend of the
non-shareholding patrons; these
banks are authorized to buy and sell
gold and silver coin and bullion;
collect notes and drafts and Dllls
of exchange; to discount commercial
and other short term paper; to deal
in national land bank bonds ana
to do a general banking business
any land mortgage association or
corporation may become one of these
national land banks; loans may be
made on farm lands and farmers al
lowed to pay back the sum with
interest in annual or semi.annual
payments.
The agitation at this time of the
establishment of rural credit sys-
tenn is of interest to every citizen
of the country. The banker Is
looking closely into the matter for
the reason that he does not desire
to see a measure put into operation
that will rob his institution of the
means of making dividend for his
stockholders. the merchants are in
terostcd jim the measure because any
uplift movement to agriculture means
a better business for him. The
farmers are Interested because they
need cheap money and they know
they must pay the expense of the
plan when he PAYS interest.
The land mortgage concerns are
Interested because they are expect
ing a measure that will practically
put them out of business.
It is very interesting to compare

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-01-16

The provisions of this proposed Dill
with the rural credit system whlch
Sidney Suggs has included in his
nlatform in his race for the United
States senate. Mr.. Suegs' measure
does not provide for the manten-
ance of banks and banking clerks
and does not interfere with any
banking concern that is organized
and doing business at this time.
There will be no banking houses
to buy or to pay rent on, no bank
ing fixtures are to be purchased but
the expenses required will be very
slight when compared TO the plan
proposed by the commissioner OF
credits. There will be no pronts
to 70 to anyone and the farmer
must know that he will have to pay
all the expense that Is created In
the plan of operation of the system.
The profit that goes to the banker
the commission that goes to the
bond salesman, the rent on the BANK
building, the salaries Of the clerks
and all these expenses must be add
ed to the interest which the farmer
pavs on the money borrowed on ms
home. The Suggs plan provides
that the agricultural bonds of the
United States shall be issued by the
United States treasurer and sold at
the rate of interest which govern
ment bonds pay and the new cur
rency law just enacted makes this a.
two per cent rate; the money real
lied from the sale of the bonds
shall be deposited in the regularly
organized banks of the United States
in the agricultural districts; banks
will be required to pay interest oil
2 per cent on daily balances FOR
the use of this money; the portions
of the United States devoted to ag-
riculture shall he divided into agri-
cultural loan districts. A loan agent
shall be placed in each district to-
make loans to farmers and the rate
of interest which the farmer pays
shall be two per cent more than
the government pays on its agrl-
cultural bonds. The two per cent
which the banks will pay for the
use of the deposits will pay all the
losses that occur and the two per
cent above what the government
pays will pay the expenses OF the
loan agent in making the loans. The
plans of paying back the money are
the same in both proposed measures.
They both plan for payments to be
made semi annually, The Suggs
plan provides that the interest only
shall be paid for two years and af-
ter that the balance is to be divided
into semi4annual payments and a
portion of the principal is retired
each six months.
The SuEgs plan will place money
in the hands of the farmer at one
half the rate which will be re-
quired to support the other pan
and each state and each county
can cooperate with the Suggs plan
in identically the same way in
which the government can.

LOBLOLLY GROWS ON
BADLY DRAINED LAND
Valuable Timber Is Native to
Virginia and Two Adjacent
States:

Farmers and other land owners in
Delaware. Maryland, and Virginia can
put their worn-out, or poorly drained
land to profitable use by growing lob
loIIv pine, according to the Department
of Agriculture For several generations
says a bulletin. il probably will be bet.
ter to grow timber on sue h areas, al
little outlay, than to incur the expense
of making them fit for crops At the
same time, intensive agriculture may be
practiced on the limited areas best
adapted to it.
Lob!olly pine. the department says, IS
growing on the coastal plain of these
States because of the ease with which
II reproduces itself and forms pure.
well-stocked stands, and because of its
rapid growth and the wide range of
sites on which 1t will grow, the many
uses to which its wood is adapted, the
comparative cheapness of logging and
milling the timber, and the good prices
of its lumber.
The best stands of loblolly ought to
WELD a money return of between is and
10 per cent, on a twenty-year rotation
On a forty-year rotation, the best
stands should bring in not less than G
and perhaps s or per cent
The range of use for 1oblolly is wide,
and il is sold throughout the Eastern
and Central States and exported to
Europe and Central America In build
ing construction it is used for interior
finish, flooring, ceiling, Sashes, VAIN
scoting, weather boarding. Joints, lath,
and shingles. 1t also is widely used for
boxes, slack barrels, cheap furniture,
woodenware, and toys. In addition, 1t is
used in bridge and trestle work. and for
freight cars.
Much loblolly pine is cut for cross-tics.
