MORE ABOUT
FARM LOANS
of the New Loan Law
Made Plain In Communication from
John II. Page-Farmers Should
Be Organized TO take Advantage of
the Features
the eatures.

The new federal farm loan law is
the subject of a letter sent out by
John H. Page, commissioner Of mines,
manufactures and agriculture The
letter calls attention of farmers to the
advantage under the new bill and adj
vises the immediate formation of farm
loan associations
The letter, in part, follows:
The federal farm loan board will in
the next so days locate the L farm
loan banks. The banks will be pre-
pared to make loans in 80 days. They
will loan money on and TO the extent
of ene-haf the value of the buildings
at not exceeding six per cent interest
per annum on what is known as the
amortization plan, which means that
the borrower pays a stated amount
once year for 10, 20, 80 or 10 years
and that these annua payments repay
the principal and interest at the end Of
that time. The borrower will be al
lowed to pay all of it after five years
and stop further interest chars. Far
mers can borrow money for the
following purposes: To buy land, to
ere. buildings, to pay debts Of any
kind to buy implements, machinery or
i live stock, to make improvements and
to buy fertilizer for making crops.
The farmer can borrow money for
practally all of his needs on the farm.
If a man wants to buy a farm the
farm loan bank will lend one-half its
vaue.= II the farmer can pay down
a small amount and the present owner
will take a second mortgage the far
mer can pay over to the owner the
amount borrowed, and become a farm
owner. If he borrows on 10 years's
time he can pay off his loan and in
terest at the rate Of S66.46 year on
each $1,000.
Under these circumstances, the sec
ond mortgage will be about as good
as first mortgage heretofore, and
farm owners should not hesitate to
sell and take second mortgage. To
borrow money from the farm loan
bank the farmers will have to form
local farm loan associations. 1t takes
10 or more to organize, and they must
borrow all together as much as $40
i geo. They must elect a president,
vice president. secretary,, treasurer.
five directors and three appraisers.
and then make application to the farm
loan bank or board for their loans.
Each borrower must take five per cent
Of his loan in stock, which will earn
dividends, and be taken up and paid
for when the loan is paid. The
following is the six per cent rate at
which a $1,000 loan is paid off:
Ten year loan, Sl35.87 per year.
Fifteen-year loan, S10296 per year
Twenty-year loan, S8718 per year.
Twenty-Five year loan, S7823 per
year.
Thirty-year loan, $72.65 per year.
Thirty-five year loan, S6897 per
year.
Forty-year loan, S66.46 per year.
Associations should be formed and
be appraised by the local board and
later by the appraiser from the farm
+ loan bank

What "CarbIer" Once Meant.

"Garble." 'garbled." "garbler," are
words which nowadays convey quite
a different meaning from that which
was formerly accepted. "Garble' orig
inally signified simply Ito select for a
purpose" At one time there was an
officer, termed the garhler of spices"
whose duty it was to visit the shops
and examine the spices. ordering the
destruction of all impure goods. His
duties were similar to those of the in
spector of the modern health depart
ment, who forbids the sale of decayed
vegetables or tainted meat The word
comes from a root meaning ito Sift"
The Impurities sifted out have in the
course of generations corrupted the
term till ''@arbled report" is no long
err report wherefrom all uncertainty
has been removed. but one that is full
of Misrepresentation and made mis-

EARLY CLUBS IN AMERICA.
The First One Was Founded In Phila-

delphia In 1717.
The two earliest clubs in America,
according to Colonel Henry Watterson
in his History Of Manhattan Club"
were the Fish House club Of Philadel-
phia, founded in 1T17. and the Ho-
boken Turtle club of New York. which
was started in 1897. Then came the
Sons of Liberty and the Sons of st.
Tammany, which originated in he
brain of one William Mooney. an up
holsterer of % Nassau street.
The Sons of ST Tammanv, Colonel
Watterson finds, were so called after
an Indian chief in derision of Eng
lands patron. st. George, and one Of
their main objects was not, as some
have supposed in the case Of the Tam
many organization. TO put good Demo-
Gratis into every job that paid any
thing, but Ito arouse anti-British feel
ing and to discriminate knowledge
concerning the principles of true po-
litical liberty"
The Sons of st. Tammany. later the
Society OF st. Tammany. was opposed
to all trends of aristocracy. and it
counted as its natural enemy the So
ciety of the Cincinnati. whose men,
bership was originally designed to pass
down by inheritance.
The first club of New York founded
on the lines of the London social in
situations was the Union, in 1886.
