FORMED Az ASSOCIATION.
Farmers of Iron County Take AdNan-
iage OF the Farm Loan Act.

The farmers of Iron county took
advantage OF the farm loan act passed
by the present congress OF the United
States The Farm loan act provides
for the establishing throughout the
country OF twelve loan banks by the
federal government These banks are
TO be supplemented by numerous local
loan associations OF farmers scattered
throughout the country at any point
where a sufficient number OF farmers
join to ask for loan OF s2OO00.0O.
The local loan associations are In
corporated and are local business in
stitutions in every sense OF the word.
The membership of the local associa-
tions is limited to those who want
loans for the purpose of improving
farm, paying of mortgage or adding
TO the value OF the farm property in
any way that will be approved by the
local board and the federal inspector
To become a member one must ask
for definite loan and must subscribe
for stock in the association TO the
value Of five per cent OF the loan
asked
The Iron county association is one
OF the very first associations formed
in the United States and was brought
about by the work OF Mr.. Hoopingar-
ner who got the farmers together for
the purpose OF forming the associa-
ton.
A total subscription OF $S5,O00.O0
was secured, which means that loans
TO that amount were asked for by the
farmers that were present for the
purpose OF improving their farms.
The application for the charter for
the local association has been for
warded and as soon as the Farm Loan
Banks are located and get 10 doing
business, the request OF the local as
sociation will be taken up.

DON'T FEAR VETS.
Proposal to Delay Enforcement OF
Peoples VIII Not Taken Seriously.

A report emanated from headquar-

effect that the referendum provision
OF the Michigan constitution would be
resorted to in order 10 delay the en-
forcement OF the prohibition amend
ment recently adopted.
In order that this amendment may
be made effective, the legislature must
provide penalties for refusal 70 abide
by Il. The constitution provides that
any law passed by the Legislature
may, II "A certain number OF electors
request Il, be suspended from taking
effect until it shall he submitted TO
the electors of the state at a general
election. This is the action which
some OF the headstrong vets suggest
ed
Detroit dry" leaders anticipate no
trouble In passing the legislation ne
cessary to put the amendment into
effect They believe. they say, that
the liquor men are basing their hopes
not on delay, but on resubmission.
II do not believe that the liquor
dealers will place any difficulty in the
way of passing the laws to enforce
prohibition" Walter j. Hoshal chair
man OF the dry campaign committee,
said They were badly bumped in
the last election, the state demanded
prohibition by an overwhelming ma
jority and it would be simply wav-
ing a red flag in the face OF the public
They are basing their hopes on re-
submission If sentimenr takes a turn
their way. If, I'm the next few years
national prohibition seems further
away they will make a fight for a
wet state. II national prohibition
grows more immenent the question
never will be resubmitted.
There will be conference at Ian

a committee will be appointed to draw
up the bill So far II is planned to
have a commissioners of public safety
appointed by the governor to enforce
