RURAL CREDITS BILL

Each District Federal Land Bank
will issue charters to local Farm Loan
Associations in it's district; or, in the
absence of such an association in any
neighborhood, may appoint a local
bank, or other agency, to fulfill the
functions Of such ar association. The
intent, however, is to encourage the
organization of these Farm Loan AS
sociations of the farmer-borrowers,
themselves, in every neighborhood,
which will make them independent Of
the local banks, and give the borrow
ers, comparatively, control Of the fl
nancing of the farms in their neigh
borhood.
Any ten, or more, farmers who want
to borrow on first mortgages on their
farms, may organize a local Farm
Loan Association, chartered by the
Federal Land Bank Of the district.
Only farmers, who want to borrow,
can belong to a loan association, and,
after such an association is organized,
no one can join unless he is voted in
by the existing members.
It Is the function of each Farm Loan
Association to a%ppraise the land of its
members, and recommend the char
acters of the applicants for loans; and,
later, to see that the borrowed money
is used only for the purchase or de-
velopment of land, or the purchase of
machinery or live stock for the farm or
the borrower. None Of the borrowed
money can be used for any outside
purposes, whatsoever; and, IL a farm
er undertakes to so misuse his loan,
his mortgage will become due at once.
Loans are made on first mortgages
only, and may be equal to half the ap-
praised value Of the farm, and for not
less than five years, nor more than
thirty,six years.
After the officers and loan commit
tee Of a local Farm Loan Association
shall have appraised a farm offered as
security (and have agreed unanimous
ly on the value), and have recommend
ed the character Of the borrower and
the use he intends to make of the
funds borrowed, the application will
be forwarded to the Federal Land
Bank of that district. The Federal
Land Bank then will send out ar APP
praiser from headquarters, who will
investigate and appraise the security
and pass on the loan.
The Federal Land Bank then will
lend the money, not to the farmer, but
to the local Farm Loan Association Of
which the borrower Is a member, in
exchange for the mortgage endorsed
by the Farm Loan Association, with
certain Federal Land Bank stock to
be bought by the Loan Association, as
additional collateral, to be hereafter
described. The borrower then will re-
ceive the money through his local loan
association, of which he and all other
members are stockholders. subject to
double Tor sometimes unlimited) liza
bility on their stock. according to
which plan (imited or unlimited liza
bility) the Loan Association has adopt
ed. Loans are made only to actual
farmers who are farming their land

The yeggmen who attempted to rob the
postoffice at WilIiamstown Monday
morning and were foiled by reason OF
the safe tipping over on its face after the
explosion were undoubtedly disguised
lot of people. To have labored so hard
and all for naught, except three dollars
found in the cash drawer, is calculated to
make anybody peesed, whether their
work is legitimate or criminal. Even had
they succeeded in getting into the safe,
once they had blown it open, the amount
of loot they might have secured would
not really have paid them for the trouble
and the danger of capture which they
went through 1t is not worth the price

follow the practice of the Williamstown
