mits any number of joint-stock land
banks to make loans at reasonable
interest for long periods on farm
lands.
Provides a Federal farm land
board of five members to control
these banks.
Banks are empowered to lend on
first mortgages on farm lands in
amounts of 500 to $4,000 for ap-
proved purposes. No loan may be
made for more than so per cent Of
the value fthe land and 20 per cent
of the value of the permanent insur-
ed improvements.
National farm loan associations,
local organizations composed exclu-
sively of borrowers, are authorized.
The act prohibits the Federal land
banks from charging more than s
per cent interest on any mortgage.
Borrowers will share in the net
profits of the bank, because they are
stockholders. 1t is contemplated
that ultimately the borrowers will be
the only stockholders.
Long term loans are provided by
authorizing mortgages for periods OF
from five to forty years.
Small annual or semi-annual pay
ments on the principal are made a
required feature of all mortgages.
Joint-stock land banks are author
lied. They are corporations for car
rying on the business of lending on
farm mortgage security and issuing
farm loan bonds.

TwENTY-CENT COTTON
Utterback & Macdonald,
Attorneys for Guardian.

There is a belief among cotton
men and others who have studied the
cotton situation that cotton will bring
twenty cent a pound here this fall, if
not twenty-five. The warning ma
tions of Europe are constantly de-
manding more cotton of low grade to
use in making ammunition and high
grade and medium grades for the
making of clothing for the soldiers,
this demand will probobaly be great
er than the supply, unless a warld's
record cotton crop is grown this
season.

constantly in favor and influence.
DR.. S. H. Chester, of Nashville.
Tenn, Corresponding Secretary of
the Southern Presbyterian Committee
Of Foreign Missions, thus analyses
the situation in recent statement:
Some facetious writer remarks
that China is perhaps the only great
country in the world which could
pass from a monarchy to a republic
and then back from a republic to a
monarchy without the masses OF the
people knowing that any such thing
had taken place. The trouble is that
the great majority of the people Of
China are occupied with terrific
struggle to provide themselves with
three meals Of rice day. They have
no time to devote to political affairs.
1t will be many years before the prog
ress of general education and intel
ligence can possibly fit them for taxi
ing any real part in the government.
There have been many conflict
ing views regarding the motives and
character of Yuan Shi Kai. No one
has any question as to his remark
able ability and force Of character.
Some believe him to be a genuine
patriot who understands what his
country needs better than any other
man In 1t and whose handling of the
situation is governed by the neces-
sities of the case as these reveal
themselves to him in the daily
course OF events. Others regard him

good colts for jack of his size. He
got several 10000 mules last sea-
son. He is above the average jack

Remember the best is always the
cheapest in the long run. So If you

COSTS PEOPLE MILLIONS

Washington, April 3.-The chew
ing gum habit has cost the American
people for chicle alone nearly $685.
100000 in the last 10 years, or al
most five times as much as we paid
Russia for Alaska, according to fig
ures furnished by the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce of
the Department of Commerce. Nor
mally our annual imports of chicle
amount to 100000 pounds. for
which we pay about S2.5O0,OO0 in
the countries of origin, and to which
must be added customs duties in our
own ports of about S750,00O.
Imports of chicle gum during the
fiscal year 1915 were as follows
From Mexico, 2,197,OOO pounds:
from Canada, 2,1S1, 200 pounds
from British Honduras. 1,139, 700
pounds; from Venezuela, $4,000

Harrison, of Reynolds Station, KY,
who moved from Daviess county
here, sold one pair of his mules on

of Kentucky. He was bred in Hi
