VISITING nurses
Present REPORT
Work of Association In
creaSing and Scope
Widening Daily
ENLARGED STAFF
IMPERATIVE NECESSITY

Following IS the report OF the Visit
ing Nurse Association submitted to
the Associated Charities on Tuesday
by Miss Marie T. Lockwood. superin-
tendent:
From January to July the Visiting
Nurse Association increased grad
ually the scope OF its ministrations.
In July three additional health ac-
tivties (the Peoples Settlement, Ital-
ian Reading Room and the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Nursing) sent up
the number of applications for nurs-
ing care to a taxing degree. The
home nursing visits numbered in Jan
uary 1855; last month they we're $50,
which did not include visits made in
connection with the settlements.
"The influence OF nursing care in
the home has been felt recently IN
a greater number of families than
ever before in the history OF VIII
mington. In August the number OF
families into whose homes the visit
ing nurse entered were 1873. Patients
nave Uttn lUhtU u u0nllAhAof YIN -
and to dispensaries. Help has been
procured for the needy by cooper
ating with other social agencies.
1.-The physical examination OF chill
dren for Country Week revealed
many serious physical ills and de-
fects. which needed correction. Many
of these have been sent to clinics and
dispensary for care. Two children
were discovered with one blind eye.
Both received immediate attention and
were given glasses. which undoubted-
~ will save them from total blind
ness.
THE care of babies during the hot
summer months received a great deal
Of attention. Many letters OF graft
tude reach us from patients and their
families. The demand for the visiting
nurse increases daily. Her usefulness
has become extensive and effective
through the interest and support
given the association by its many
public spirited citizens.
"In order to meet the increased de-
mand it will be necessary to enlarge
the STAFF Immediately. and as time
goes on further increases will be
necessary. II is hoped that every
one may see in this philan-
thropy wonderful chance to
help support an organization that
performs such an important part in
nursing the sick in their homes in
Wilmington"

LETTER NUMBER FIVE.
FROM COUSIN BEN
TO FARMER NED.

TO FARMER NED.
Washington, d. c., Sept. 20, 1916.
Dear Ned:-
have just come from the office Of
the Farm Loan Board. My old friend
Flanagan is Secretary OF the Farm
Loan Board. He is a Democrat. He
is an experienced banker. and was at
one time President of the Southern
Bank of New York City. He is a
recognized authority on financial
economies. He was telling me today
that he had just been offered the
Presidency of a $5,0000O0 bank, TO lie
organized under the joint stock plan
of this new Democratic law. He said
they offered him a higher salary than
what he was getting as the Secretary
of the Farm Loan Board, but that
he had refused to consider It. In the
first place. he regretted that the law
authorized joint stock banks at all
for their existence and their Offering
in the financial market their own
bonds, based upon farm mortgages. in
competition with the bonds which the
Federal Land Banks offer, based upon
cooperation mortgages, will make
rival bonds OF the same kind. Mr.
Flannagan's judgment is that they
will force the rate OF interest on
both kinds Of bonds up about one per
cent. Now. as there Is in existence
about S4,000.000 600 of farm mort
cages, that one per cent. extra on the
bonds will cost the farm borrowers an
extra S40,000,000 a year. The rate Ct
interest on the mortgage will always
be regulated by the interest on the
bonds, yet there are some who think
that the Democrats were very ingen-
iOus to put in this rival system. even
IL ii does cost the farmers 100000 goo
extra. What is s4OO00.000 anyhow
to a Democratic Administration.
which in one single session OF Con
gress appropriates more than a billion
dollars in excess OF its own estimate
OF receipts?
Well. started to tell you about Mr.
Flanagan and the offer OF the Pres
idency of the $4,000, 900 bank. which
he refused. He said he asked the
parties IL they had their S5,000,000 all
subscribed yet. They answered, that
they were organizing a force OF sales
men to sell the stock of the bank to
farmers at 5000 a share. although its
par value is $10O They said that they
were going to sell il to farmers. who
are not familiar with stock. at $500,
by explaining that after paying the
trifing cost of organizing the bank
the extra 500 a share will form a
surplus and make a strong bank. Con
fdentially. they told Mr. Flanagan,
that the promoters were going to take
$50 a share for their own profit on
selling the stock. So, for organizing
this one bank. the promoters expect
to fleece the farmers out OF $780,
O00 and that is only the beginning.
They will have a great army Of
stock salesnfen to solicit subscrip-
tions from farmers all over the
United States, and the farmer who
wants to borrow from the Joint Stock
Bank will be obliged to invest at least
per cent. OF his loan in the bank
stock at double its par value. Banks
are not allowed to charge commits
sion. but what is to prevent them
from selling the unsuspecting a par
eel OF watered stock before they will
consent to make a loan?
Now I think you understand a little
