We have made arrangements with
Nels Darling, the lecturer, to write
a series of short articles for the

Mr. Darling will write several ar

discuss the pros and cons of adver-
tising. Darling knows how to
write the pulling, business-getting

how and he knows how to tell others
how.
In a talk with the editor Mr..
Darling said some nice things about
our town and incidentally remarked
that some of the merchants in Monte

TEN however, the Law requires
that farmers, or prospective farm
ers, must get together in groups of
ten or more and form local National
Farm Loan Associations. This
means that the farmer who wants
to borrow money from Federal
Land Bank must find at least nine
other farmers who also want to bor-
row money. Then these ten or more
farmers form an Association, elect
officers, and send in their applica-
ton to the Federal Land Bank of
the district for the loans.
Through the formation of these
associations and the bulking of the
applications for loans the business
of the banks is expedited, a local

TOWNSHIP SCHOOL
IS ONLY SOLUTION
DECLARES W|SSLER

"A central school for Jackson town
ship and all the corporations contain
ed in it and located at central point
will eventually be the solution of the
school problems of Dublin, Cambridge
City and East Germantown" said B.
F. Wissler, member OF the Cam
bridge City school board today.
cambridge City is not taking a
selfish stand on the proposition but
is trying to bring about something
which will be the best for the town.
ship. If such school were established
it would probably be located some
place between Cambridge City and
Dublin which would be a central To-
cation for all parts OF the township
when population is considered.
Too Much Rivalry Exists
"At present 1t would be impossible
to bring about such cooperation be-
cause Of the rivalry which exists be.
tween towns in the western part of
the county. but eventually people will
see that such step is necessary. With
the rising prices Of the upkeep of
schools. the smaller units will have
to be discontinued"
Mr.. Wissler explained that although
a new school building will have to
be erected at Cambridge City within
a short time, no action will be taken
until the proposition of the new Dub
lin school district is settled and until
every effort has been made to establish
a township school.
