PRESIDENT SIGNS
RURAL CREDITS BILL
Measure Creating Twelve Land
Loan Banks Becomes Part
Of Federal System.
WILL NAME BOARD SOON

Washington, July l7.-President
Wilson today signed the rural credits
bill, passed recently by congress. Jus.
before signing the measure, which Gre
ates a system of twelve land loan
banks under direction of a federal
board, the president made short ad.
dress.
Il cannot go through the simple
ceremony Of signing this bill with
out expressing the feeling that l have
in signing it," said the president. 1T
. . feeling of profound satisfaction,
not only, but Of real gratitude that we
have completed this piece OF legisla-
ton. which / hope will be immensely
beneficial to the farmers OF the
country.
THE farmers, it seems to me, have
occupied hitherto a singular position
Of disadvantage. They have not had
the same freedom to get credit on
their real estate that others have had
who were in manufacturing and conf
mercial enterprises, and while they
have sustained our life, they did not
in the same degree with some others,
share in the benefits of that life.
Therefore, this bill, along with
the very liberal provisions Of the fed
eral reserve act, puts them upon an
equity with all others who have genu-
inc assets and makes the great credit
OF the country available to them.
Expects Great Benefits.
II look forward to the benefits Of
this bill, not with extravagant ex-
pcctations, but with confident ex-
peetation that it will be Of very wide
reaching benefit, and incidentally Il
will be OF advantage to the investing
community, for | can imagine no
more satisfactory or solid investments
than this system will afford those who
have money to use" :,
The president used two pens in
signing the bill, and gave one Of them
10 Senator Fletcher Of Florida, who
asked permission TO present it to the
Southern Commercial congress.
In addition to the number OF mem.
bec OF the house and senate, the sign
ing was witnessed by David Lubin
one Of the originators Of the bill, and
representative OF the National
Grange, the Farmers Educational
and Cooperative union, the Farmers
National congress and the National
Council Of Farmers Cooperative as
ISOLATION.
Will Name Board Soon.

loan board. Among those understood
10 be under consideration are:

Shows Mettle in
Endurance Tests

Paige men are pointing to two re.
cent achievements that throw a flood
Of light on the mechanical qualities OF
Paige cars. This summer a we'll
known Detroit owner drove his Paige
Fairfield for at least twelve weeks and
for a distance of about 5000 miles
with only two quarts of water re.
quired for the radiator in addition to
the initial filling.
The Detroter's experience covered
long road tours that took him to New
York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City and
other eastern points, and then back
to Detroit The radiator cap, when
he left Detroit, was screwed down
tight with Stillson wrench and
could only be removed with the same
tool-a task that was performed just
twice in the time specified In each
instance the radiator took only about
a quart of water.
The other achievement was the
well-known mountain climbing stunt
of Paige Fairfield six -46"-the car
that battled with billiards, snow, 4C
per cent grades and numerous other
obstacles in its ascent of Mount Hood
Ore, reaching point on the mountain
side three miles beyond that attained
