and if satisfactory the loans will
be authorized when the charter is
granted to the association.
The bank then advances the
money through the secretary
treasurer of the local association,
who is bonded officer.
These loans are liquidated by an
nual or semi annual payment, COW
ering any given period from five to
forty years.
The difference in the interest now
paid and the 5 or 6 per cent. to be
charged under the new system will,
within comparatively short per-
iod, wipe out the debt.
The rate of interest will be deter
mined by the rate at which the
bonds will sell. If the bonds sell at

4 per cent. the rate on money loaned
to farmers cannot be over per
cent, because the law provides that
there shall be a margin of not more
than l per cent. between the price
of the bonds and the rate of inter-
est on the money loaned. AS they
are free to all taxes, they will sell
well.
This margin is to pay the ex-
penses of the bank. If these ex-
penses are less than l per cent. the
rate of interest will be reduced. In
no event will the interest rate to
farmers be more than per cent.
When the farmer makes an appli-
cation in the local loan association,
equal to 5 per cent. OF his loan. If
his loan is for $1,000, he has stock
to the amount o. $50.
This stock is held as security by
the loan association until the debt
is paid. Then it is returned to him,
and the farmer can use it as the
last payment of his debt.
The stock purchased by each
borrower in that association is part
Of the assets of the local associa
ton, and is to be used to meet the
defaults in case some borrower de-
faults and his land does not satisfy
the face Of the mortgage.
The only other liability is anoth-
err $50; and that is, double iabil-
ity on his stock, such as adheres ia
the national bank stock.
The worst that can happen TO a
borrower of 1000 is the loss OF
800; that is, his stock, $50, and his
double liability, $50 more. This LA
bility is only possible in case of q

Ten farmers make application in

No national farm loan associa-

Prick it," repeated the mistress,
firmly. Just stick fork in each
one"
Then the girl seemed to grasp the
idea. But the family were all
startled next morning when there
appeared on the breakfast table a
plateful of sausages, in each of which
was firmly planted a fork.
And, as the supply of forks failed
to meet the demand, the smallest
