THE KENTUCKY RURAL
CREDIT ASSOCIATION lends
money to farmers on 20. 80 and
so years time at S per cent inter-
est. These loans are uncalIable
and reducible, a small amount in
addition to the interest being re-
quired each year. Whatever
amount is paid annually in addit-
ion to the S per cent interest will
be compounded at 81 per cent in
terest and deducted from the
loan whenever paid, the borrower
having the privilege of paying all
or any part of the loan at any time
by giving 60 days notice.
Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1915-04-23

The strong points in favor of
borrowing from the Association
are that one can borrow one-half
the value of lands; the net rate OF
interest Is actually S per cent and
the borrower knows that he can
not be called upon 20 pay the prin-
cipal except in annual payments,
as provided in the contract. He
may, however, pay any or all of
the loan whenever it suits him to
do so. For illustra ions a farmer
bOrrows 100000 on 4e years
time, and keeps the money for that
period of years, and all that is re.
qnired of him is to make a pay
ment of $58 90 on each $1,000. 90
every year $1,000 of said pay
ment being interest, and So. 90 of
il is applied to the principal and
compounded at 81 per cent inter
est-which will pay the principal
in full III 40 years, the borrower
has the right to pay off the loan at
any time, however.
On the 20 year plan a farmer is
required to pay $1,000 per thous-
and dollars ($1ooo. oo) each year
for % years, at the end of which
period his mortgage is Cancelled

This is not a new idea in the
financial world at all 1t has
been proven out in Europe and
has been il operation there for
nearly one hundred and fifty
years. The farmers of Germany
France, Denmark and other coun-
tries are enjoying Rural Credits,
and through this means securing
longtime loans at low rates of in

try, and has been approved by

WHY WE SHOULD PRACTICE

Our manners are everything. no

Poor manners show i'll bringing up

where he lay down and deVoured his
cockerel. Afterward he went to
sleep, with one ear dropping and the
other alert for possible enemies.
The sun had been up some time
when Red Fox lazily stretched his
limbs and prepared to stir. But as
he did so he scented a peculiar and
hated odOr, so like his own that he
showed his teeth in fury. 1t was not

the shifting hounds that surrounded
the gOrse. covert,
They had scented him and were on
his trail. Behind them rode the mas
ter and whipper-in, and grouped in
the distance was the crowd that had
gathered for the hunting.
Suddenly, with a bay, the Oldest
hound dashed forward toward the
spot where Red Fox lay. And in
stantiy Red Fox had leaped from the
covert and was racing along the
ditch.
The huntsman blew a blast upon
his horn. The hounds bayed, the
hunters hurried up at the gaIlop. In |
an instant the whole field was on the |
track of the hounds and they were
pursuing the lean, 1.-THE shadow that |
raced over the fields. i
The huntsmen strung out in a long
line. The hounds dashed forward at |
full speed. They saw Red Fox no
longer, but his scent was plainly dis |
cernible, and though his first burst of |
speed was greater than theirs it could |
not last. Red Fox, looking back, saw
the hounds two fields away and the |
horses leaping the hedges.
Red Fox had been hunted many |
times and had always gone free. But |
now he began to be vaguely dis
tressed. His meal had been a hearty |
one and he knew that his earth was |
stopped. He came upon a brook and |
'trotted down it to throw off the scent, |
emerging on the same side, half dou-
