Mans Best Friend


The best friend a man has may
turn against him and become his
enemy. His son or his daughter
whom he has reared with loving care
may prove ungrateful. Those near
est and dearest to US, those whom we
trust with our happiness and good
name, become traitors to their faith.
The money that man has he may
lose. 1t flies away from him when
perhaps he needs it most. Al mans
reputation may F,be sacrificed in. 8
N ON emit of ill-considered action
The people who fall upon their knees
to do us honor when success is with
us may be the first to reject us when
failure s ciowds settle upon our brow.
THE only absolutely unse Fl h
friend a man can have in this world,
the one that never deserts him, never
proves ungrateful,is his dog. A mans
dog stands by him in prosperity and
in poverty, in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground
where the winter winds blow and the
snow drives fiercely, if only he may
be near his masters side. He will
kiss the hand that has no food to
offer. He guards the sheep of his
pauper master as if he were prince,
when riches take wings and repu-
tation falls to pieces, he is as con-
slant in his love as the sun in its
journey through the heavens. If for
tune drives the master forth, an out
cast, friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him, 70
guard him against danger, - tight
against his enemies. and when the
last scene of all comes, and his body
is laid away in the grave, no matter
if all other friends pursue their way
there will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad
but open in alert watchfulness, faith

ii SYNOPSIS OF THE. FARM LOAN ACT
Explanation Of All
MANI toft the New La B
approved by the. federal farm loan

i approved by the. federal farm loan
board.
Each loan association must have a
| board of directors and secretary
!! treasurer The directors shall serve
without pay. The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
shall receive such compensation as
/, may be determined by the board of
J directors. The association must ap-
+, point an appraisal committee for the
purpose Of valuing lands offered as
security for loans. No member OF
such committee shall havc any inter
est ip the property upon which he
passes.
To provide funds for current ex-
tain as a commission from each in
terest payment not to exceed one
eighth of / per cent semiannually
upon the unpaid principal Of the loan.
This commission is to be deducted
from the dividends payable to such
farm loan association by the federal
land bank. If the commissions are
not adequate and an association does
not wish to assess members for cur
rent expenses it may borrow at s
per cent from the federal land bank
to an amount not to exceed In the
aggregate one-fourth Of its bank
stock.
The law requires both the land
banks and the farm loan associations
to make provision for certain re-
serves before they can pay any divi-
dends.
In sections where local conditions
do not make the formation Of associa
tons practicable the farm loan board
may authorize the federal land bank
to make loans through agents ap-
proved by the board. These agents
are to be banks, trust companies,
mortgage companies or savings insti-
tutions chartered by the state. They
may receive as compensation the ac-
tual expense involved in transacting
the loan and in addition thereto a
sum not TO exceed one-half of / per
cent. per annum on the unpaid pril-
cipal of the loans made through them.
When the farm loan board decides
that locality Is adequately served
by farm loan associations no further
loans are to be made through agents.
In addition to the system of twelve
federal land banks and the national
farm loan associations of borrowers,
the act permits the establishment Of
Joint stock land banks and authorizes
them to carry on the business of lend
ing directly to borrowers on farm
mortgage security and issuing farm
loan bonds. These banks must have
capital of not less than $250,000.
They are under the supervision of the
federal farm loan board, but the gov
eminent does not lend them any
financial assistance.
General Provisions.
The law. through the farm loan
board, provides the necessary machin-
cry for frequent examinations of the
banks and the associations, for the
proper cancellation of mortgages and
for the safe custody Of mortgages of,
fered as security for bonds. When
any mortgage offered as security for
bonds is withdrawn. the bank is re-
quired to replace the security with
other mortgages or with other salts
factory collateral
Heavy penalties OF fine or imprison-
pent or both are imposed for viola
lions of the act, malfeasance in Office,
fraud, embezz1ement, defalcation or
other illegal practices.
