LET OTHERS FOLLOW

Goldfield Tribune: What is re-
garded as the most important legis-
lation enacted in New York State,
or in any other State. this year, if
not in several years, is the bill, just
signed by Governor Whitman, pro-
viding for system of physical train
ing for all boys between the ages of
16 and 10. with the exception of those
regularly employed in earning their
livelihood. The details of the Act
are not at hand. but they have been
approved by educators. military men
and many other interested citizens.
Another Act authorizes the inaugu-
ration of a course of compulsory
physical training for all public and
private school pupils more than
eight years old. Continuing what
has thus been started, the compul-
sorry military training for boys be-
tween the ages of l6 and 10, will add
to their usefulness and efficiency as
citizens. There has been much
doubt whether this training should
be accomplished in connection with
the schools, which are already over
crowded. However. there does not
appear to be any other system
through which it can be introduced,
and educators have declared that it
is in no manner outside of the line of
school work with the schools. The
test of actual experience may neces-
state some revision of the plan.
Nor are the girls of New York
State to be neglected. They likewise
must take course of physical train
ing by which they will be better fit
ted for any position in life to which
they may be called, whether it is
selling goods. manipulating a type
writer or presiding over homes as
wives and mothers. The boys will
not only receive military instruction,
they will be trained to acquire habits
that will enable them to take better
care of themselves in any employ
ment they may enter. They will
learn how to carry themselves. how
to walk, how to breathe. how to exer-
else, how to get the most out of
themselves and still preserve their
health. These laws are one whole
some effort of preaching the gospel
of preparedness. New York has
shown the courage to lead. How
many others will follow?

LINCOLN HIGHWAY TO Be MARKED

ing the Summer

The entire length of the Lincoln
Highway from New York to San
Francisco is to be marked with mile
posts during the pl esent year by the
Lincoln Highway Association, which
has just announced that a crew of
men with four cars will leave the

roads cross or fork that the mark
ings are not clear.
The stretch from San Francisco to
Salt Lake City will be marked by

Warford, Western representative.
Redwood posts. donated by the Cali

and will be set exactly one mile
apart. Additional posts will be
placed at all crossroads and diversion
points where the marking is now in
sufficient.

EASY LOANS FOR FARMERS
PROVIDED BY new LAW
No Longer Need the Farmer Be
Crushed by the Mortgage-It
Pays Itself OFF Under System
Just Authorized by Congress

The Federal Farm Loan bill has
passed both Senate and House at
Washington by almost unanimous
votes. 1t was favored by all the po-
litical parties.
This law is the result of eight years
effort to enable farmers to get capt.
tai upon more reasonable terms. If
the plan succeeds. it will mark one
of the great changes in American
history.
1t provides that any 10 or more
farmers who wish to borrow money
for long period of years may form
National Farm Loan Association.
Each farmer must pay in $5 for one
of its shares, for each 500 he wishes
to borrow. With this money the As
sociation buys shares in the Federal
Land Bank for its district. That
bank has $780, 900 paid up cash capi-
tai.
The method of getting a loan is
simple. For instance, suppose you
have farm worth $4,000, and wish
to borrow $1,000 to improve, work or
stock it. You pay $50 for shares in
your Association, and give it your
promise to pay $1,000. This note is
secured by a mortgage on your farm.
The Association indorses your note,
and sends it to the Federal Land
Bank, which forwards the $1,000 to
you.
Besides paying the interest on your
note each six months, you also pay
little on the principal semi-annual-
ly. If the interest is at the rate of
5 per cent, payment of about $50
every six months will not only meet
the interest but leave little to re-
duce the principal. In about thirty
years the debt will be wholly paid off
in that way.
Many farmers now pay 6 to 10 per
cent for interest alone. Under the
new system they gradually pay off
their debt, including interest mean
while, for less than the interest they
now are forced to pay. They may
pay off the whole debt or make large
payments at any time. if they can.
To get more money to lend to
farmers the Federal Land Bank may
sell bonds. The bonds are secured
by the farmers mortgage notes.
The bonds. as well as shares in the
Federal Land Bank and in the local
Associations are free of all taxes. be-
cause the land bears the taxes.
AS borrowers steadily reduce their
debt, the security for the bonds in
creases. until they are paid off.
Thus the bonds should prove safe
and profitable to investors. They
are legal investment for postal
savings deposits and other trust
funds.
The U. S. Treasury may subscribe
for the shares in a Federal Land
Bank until they are taken by the
loan associations. Individuals may
buy shares but cannot vote them.
Each of the twelve Land Banks in
the United States will be admins
tered by trustees chosen by the bor-
rowers. The President of the Uni
ted States is to appoint Federal
Board to control the system.
