Music Club and
What 1t Is Doing

s~HE Monday Music club begins
the fifteenth year of its ex'
stence with a record which
rebounds alike to the glory of itself
and keokuk.
Organized at a time when musica.
interest and expression were at the
lowest ebb in the community. it has
progressed continuously but surely,
Systematically stimulating musical
interest. and encouraging all forms If
musical expression, until it has be
come an important factor not only in
the city but in the state.
Nine. Maud Powell credits the
music clubs scattered throughout the
United States as the greatest power
towards musical advancement in this
country.
The Monday Music club points to
its achievements not in a spirit of vain
glorious boasting, but as a proof of its
sincerity, and convincing evidence OF
its ability to accomplish even greater
things in the future.
1t holds that music, the most di-
vine of all the arts. also closest
to man. influencing his thoughts, often
shaping his actions, and should be an
INTEGRAL and vital part of communal
life.
AS Mayor Moorhead has so ably
pointed out in these pages, the build
ing of a city requires other things
than the grading of streets and the
laying of sewers.
The happiness OF the people their
moral welfare inc cultivation should
also be considered, and music is one
of the best aids in this direction.
h club has worked with this OBJ
Ject continually in view and is willing
n anxious to extend its influence
along such lines whenever it is pos
sibIe.
To this end it not only presents an
nuaily sixteen programs given by the
active members of the club, but ar
ranges recitals and concerts by world
famous artists at prices which are
made as low as possible to defray
actual expenses.
No officer or other worker in the
club receives remuneration. All that
is done is given freely in the interest

THE RURAL CREDIT BILL

Senator Fletcher occupies posi-
tion of exceptional distinction a
the head of the commission appoint
ed to draft a measure to provide
for a system of rural credits intend
ed especially to aid the farmers il
procuring money on much easier
terms than is now practicable. Il
this measure becomes law there Is
no estimating it's benefits to the
class it is intended to help, and il
is quite likely to become law, fol-
President Wilson is practically
committed to it and there is a rapid
ly growing sentiment in congress
in behalf of it. Senator Fletcher
has given profound study to this
subject and has an intimate knowl-
edge of its various phases. The bill
will be pressed at the present ses-
sion as supplementary to the new
currency law and it's enactment
into law will be an epochal measure
that will immensely stimulate the
agricultural development of the
country. Some of the leading fea-
lures of this bill are as follows:
Farm land banks to be created in
the various States to supplement
federal reserve system of Glass -Ow
ems currency law.
A commission of farm land banks
to have general contract as fed
eral official and federal fiscal agents
to supervise operations of each of
these land mortgage banks.
Banks to have federal government
charters like present national
banks.
These banks to issue debentures
as their direct obligations, the pro
ceeds of such debentures to be
loaned to farmers on first mort
gage banks.
Banks to have federal govern
ment charters like present national
banks.
These banks to issue debentures
as their direct obligations, the pro-
ceeds of such debentures to be
loaned to farmers on first mort
cages.
Farmers mortgages to bear high.
or interest rate than the deben-
lures, and the difference to consti
tute the profit of the new banks.
Banks either to be formed by pri
vate capitalists or on the non profit
seeking, cooperative basis.
Securities of these banks to be
exempt from taxation.
Farmers to repay their loans
through amortization" that is, in
small fixed annual installments.
