sons Of this Primer the general pro-
visions and effect Of the Gardner State
Land Bank Bill were explained. In
the present lesson the relations Of
such q bank to the farmers sons and
ths high cost Of living are set forth.
The bin was passed by the last Lesis-
iature Of Missouri, signed by the Gov
srnor and will be voted on by the peo-
pie in November under the initiative
and referendum. II is to become e.
feetive December I, 1861
LESSON III.
Q.-why does the farmers son
leave home?
A.-Because, as a rule, the father
could not make the business OF farm
ing-and FARMING IS THE REAL
BIG BUSNESS-attractive to the
boy. He had the land. but he was
LAND POOR He hadn't the means
to start the son out on his W SUB
DIVISION of the farm, provide him
with stock, machinery. etc.
Q.-Couldn't he raise the capital?
A-Probably, but at exhorbitant
rates of interest on short time loans
with mortgages that eat into the
capital.
Q-How would the Gardner land
bank bill help the son!
A-By providing him with capital
The bank would lend him money at
4310 per cent interest for a long
term-up to rs years. In this interest
charge would be included III per
cent for the sinking fund, this reserve
fund being for the protection Of the
state and eventually to pay back the
$1,000, 900 which the state ia to lend
the bank as working capital. On this
original capital and through the sSe
Of debenture bonds, secured by notes
and deeds Of trust based on one-half
the cash value Of the land, the bank,
dt IL expected. will lend $4,000 900 to
Missouri farmers. and in time bring
1t least a hundred million dollars Of
new money into the state, for the
same purpose.
Q--Then the, bank is entirely for
the farmers benefit!
A-Exactly. No loans for specula-
tion are possible. The Gardner bill
specifies that the money borrowed
shall be used for paying OIL liens and
encumbrances, one-fourth of the loan
being allowed for the purchase Of
stock and machinery.
Q-How would the farmer 60 about
getting the loanf
A.-By making application to the
bank which Is to be located at the
state capital, and the officers Of which
are to be the governor, secretary Of
state, attorney general, state auditor
and state treasurer, with the state
bank examiner rs director. You see.
the fact that these officers will re-
ceive no extra pay 10 n Of the rea-
som why a low rate Of interest can
b charged And there will be no
dividends because there win be no
stock shares. After the application
for the loan IL made the state bank
examiner would send an appraiser to
PASS on TIE value Of the land.
Q.-How would he appraise the
value?
Ably consulting authorities in the
community. including the COUNTY
OFFICERS, who would receive no fee.
Q-For how much and how long
would the loan be made?
A.-For 8, 10, Is, 20 and 26 years.
In amounts not less than $3.50, and
mot more than 10000. on half Of the
cash value Of the property.
o.-Please repeat: How would that
figure outf
.A.-Well, for instance. on a 25-year
loan, the annual payments would be
$3.50 on each 500 borrowed. This

$3.50 would include interest, reserve
fund fee and THE PRINCIPAL, thus
paying OF the entire amount by the
time the term of the loan shall have
expired. In giving preference to the
smaller loans the idea will be to en-
courage subdivision of farms, thus
being of SPECIAL BENEFIT TO
FARMERS SONS.
Q.-What papers would the borrow.
er sign?
A-Notes Of unlimited liability for
the protection Of the state, and the
deed OF trust or mortgage. II a lien
or mortgage already exists this must
be paid of first out of the loan, there
by SAVING INTEREST CHARGES
ON THE OLD MORTGAGE. The re-
mainder Of the loan, as stated, Is TO
be expended for Improvements.
$50 you say this would give the
farmers son (and his father) greater
opportunity to be prosperous?
A-Emphatically YES. As Col.
Gardner says, we have failed to i'm
press upon the country boy the fact
that he is engaged in the Oldest and
most important business in the world.
He must realize the dignity of his po-
sition. ALL HE NEEDS IS FACILI-
TIES FOR MAKING 1T PROFITABLE
AND ENJOYABLE. HE NEEDS OP-
PoRTUNITY.
Q.-What has been the result Of the
lack Of opportunity-a chance?
A-Hardship. and q loss Of popula-
ton in the country. Outside Of st.
Louis and Kansas City, Missouri has
lost 2 per cent in population in the
last 10 years. Such splendid agricul-
| tural counties as the following have
shown losses, these being picked out
because they were represented on the
Missouri bankers commission, to-wit:
Galloway, so per cent loss; Saline,
1873; Platte, II; Lewis, IT,; Cooper,
10, and Atchison, 17.6 per cent loss in
population in the last 10 years.
Q.-What has been the chief effect?
A.-REDUCTION IN PRODUCTION
AND A CONSEQUENT INCREASE
IN THE COST OF LIVING.
Q.-What are the figures in point?
A.-Twelve Of the principal articles
! of food have advanced more than so
per cent in prices in the last 10 years.
For instance, bacon, 1913 per cent;
round steak, 107; fowls. "A. and so on.
It's no wonder the cost of living has
increased when production has de-
creased and OUR POPULATION HAS
GROWN AND Is GROW1NG-IN THE
CITIES. And II the farmer boys keep
on coming into town, conditions, un-
less relief is given, will be harder for
everybody.
Q.-What will come to pass II the
farmer II not aided?
A-Further losses in country popu-
lation, still higher cost Of living, and
even worse times for the farmer be-
cause he is "hog.tied" financially.
AND THE NEXT GENERATION
WOULD HAVE TO CULTIVATE
GREATLY IMPOVERISHED LAND.
Q.-And what is the other side-the
relief by the land bank-the probable
cure for being LAND POOR?
Alarm improvement, q chance
for the country boy, a building up Of
rural communities, better social con.
ditions through growth Of closer
neighborhoods. WITH THE PROS
PERITY OF THE FARMER THERE
is BOUND TO FOLLOW BETTER
ROADS, BETTER SCHOOLS, BET
TER CHURCHES. And directly will
come benefits to the merchant, the

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. "a, l0l4,-
my husband had rash all over his

scaly and raised up on the arms and

worse at night, so we could not sleep.
We all had this trouble for about two
or three years, and during that time
tried many remedies and prescriptions
with no results. We tried Resinol Oint-
nent and Resinol Soap and it RE-
IlEVED AT ONCE, and before the

were all completely cured. It has been

Self-centered. flippant, insincere.
EeVering naught the race holds dear,
Creative ardors never stir

Grasshopper-like, she sits and sings
on the mere husk and shell Of things
And for the pleasures of the day
Casts love and home and heaven

Music and art for her are dumb.
To her no visions ever come;
Books have no message, her blind
eyes
See naught in flowers or starry skies

Men are to her source of gain.
And, knowing not loves sacred fire.
Loves tokens she displays for hire.
Kisses for coinsl But though thou

Poor wouldst thou be with all that

And none to love thee for thyself.

But Of thy victims is not any.

Though every hour with lust be
freighted,

call
Has never really lived at all!
