Regarding loans upon farm lands
the secretary's report said
Again. it is provided in the act
that national banking associations
not situated in the central reserve
cities may lend on improved and un-
encumbered farm lands within the
federal reserve district. and that such
loans may be made for any period up
to five years. such loans may not ex-
ceed so per cent OF the actual value
OF the property. ANY national bank
under this provision Of the act may
lend on farm lands an amount in the
aggregate equal to 25 per cent OF its
capital and surplus or one third OF its
time deposits. The federal reserve
act. therefore, so far from discrimi-
mating against the farming classes,
distinctly bears them in mind, and
while not discriminating in favor Of
them takes just the particular know
ledge Of their requirements"
When the government goes beyond
this point in providing for farm cred
its It will be resorting TO class legis-
lation and it will be natural if the
subject is not disposed Of quickly.
One point that will have to be con-
sidered will be the question as to
whether under the proposed plan the
benefits would go 10 actual farmers
or would be absorbed by spectators
and present landholders.
The matter Of special rural credit
law involves deeper questions than
some people realize.

The Engllh were besieglng Orleans,

and brought relief to the city, her
advent being hailed with wild clam
ors Of JOY from the populace. who
had already begun TO acclaim her as
the savior OF France. She reanimat-

withdrew from below the walls. a
week later she had captured two
towns held by the invaders, had won
great battle and drivon the English
back across the Loire. France thrill
ed to the unwonted spectacle, and the
nation Went almost mad with JOY
when Joan escorted the reluctant king
to Rheims. where he was crowned in
the cathedral that has been so racked
by German shells within the last few
months.
This was the climax Of Joan's ca
reer. The king proved that he could
not maintain himself upon the high
standard that she had set for him.
He played her false when she tried to
capture Paris and at Compeigne she
was taken prisoner. In 1S41 she was
condemned as a witch and publicly
burned to death in the streets OF
Rouen. But her spirit lived after
her, and from the moment OF her ad-

The latter said that when her faith

she came to New York to look for
work. The Ferrari woman met her
at the Ferry and offered her employ
