Uncle Harry Explains About The New Farm Loan Banks

dent Wilson. This law Is called the
Rural Credits Act, and the purpose
Of Il is to help the farmers Of the
country by lending them money at a
fair but not a high rate of interest"
What special good will that dor"
asked Mary. Wont you explain
that, Uncle Harry? Can't the far
mers borrow money from banks, just
the Same as other business men?"
"Be glad to explain this new law"
said Uncle Harry. First, you must
remember that a nation cannot be
prosperous unless its farmers are
prosperous. Everything starts with
the farmer. Now Tor many years
many farmers and their families have
been giving up their farms and NOV
ing int the cities. and that cannot
continue for many years more with
out the whole country suffering. The
farmers say that the principal trouble
is that they cannot get the same iinan-
cial help that city business men can
get and that therefore they cannot
make enough money farming to raise
their families the way they want
give them good homes and good edu-
cation. So Congress, realizing the i'm
portance Of the farm business being
kept prosperous in order that there
may be food enough for all the PEG
pie of the nation, and, profting by
the experience of the older countries
Of Europe where there have been farm
loan banks for the formers for many
years, passed the Rural Credit Act
that / just told you about"
How will this new plan be work
ed?" asked Joe.
The u. S. Government will sell
bonds to people who have money e
invest and will pay these people q
certain amount Of interest each yeai
for the use Of their money. You
know how your savings bank pays
you so much interest every year FOL
every dollar you deposit When peo
pie buy bonds from the government
what they really do is, deposit theil
savings with the government, or, II
other words, they lend their money
to Uncle Sam.
Now. then, under this new law, the
government will re-lend the money
received from the sale Of the bonds
to the farmers, under a plan that
will make 1t easy for the farmers tc
pay back the loans and the interest

Market Was Stronger
But Fluctuations Light

New York, April 1.-The New York
Evening Sun s financial review today
said:
The market responded to the more
favorable overnight Mexican news with
a generally stronger opening, but trad
ing was narrow and activity confined
to a relatively few issues. Naturally,
properties associated with Mexico were
most conspicuous.
Mexican Petroleum opened wide at
advances ranging from / 3-S to 2 Is.
American Smelling and Refining start
ed at l IA higher. Steel was heavy at
the outset. Railways twere neglected
but conspicuous specialties like Cruel
Bile Steel, Baldwin Locomotive and In
dustrial Alcohol were improved.
AS far as could be determined from
outward observation there was no
change in the character of the trading.
Short covering influenced by pool oper-
atiOns was chiefly responsible for the
early strength. The short session mill
tated against any very extensive par
ticipation of outside interests.
Although the submarine question lost
force by the effect of the administra-
TONS announcement that it intended
to defer action uRtil it was possible to
thoroughly investigate the Sussex and
other cases, the situation continued to
restrain trading.
