DISCUSS FARM LOAN ACT
AND SECOND MORTGAGES
Financiers Interested in Effects of
Law-The Star Engages to Pro-
cure Explanatory Information.

Considerable discussion has been
caused here in financial circles Ivy the
apparent effects of the federal farm
loan act on the second mortgage as a
loan security. A western banker has
stated that in a trust or investment
bank he would loan freely on second
mortgages in cases where the first
mortgage was held by one of the ma
tional farm loan associations created
by the farm loan act, provided that
combined interest and tax charges did
not amount to more than the rental
value of the land. This new position
in respect to second mortgages is ex-
planned by the banker as due to the
fact that under the federal loan sys-
tenn the holder of the second mortgage
is in no danger of being compelled to
buy UP the first mortgage to protect
the second.
coming to the board as to the workings
of the act. both from farmers who wish
to borrow money and from investors

investment. The Evening Star has ar
ranged to secure for any of it's readers

H0RSESH0ElNG PRICE UP

Owners of Shops in Washington Say
Cost of Materials Has Greatly
Increased.
1t is due to the war in Europe. .

1T is due to the war In Europe
This phrase. which has become one of
the most noted statements of modern
times, in connection with little things
in every language used In neutral coun-
tries. especially the United States. ex-
plains a modest advertisement in the
daily newspapers which sets forth the
fact that the horseshoers of Washington
have decided to charge more in future
than they have In the past for shoeing
horses.
Inquiry among horseshoers today de-
veloped the Information that before the
war horseshoes could be purchased for
1885, pc. 100. Now they must be paid
70" at the rate Of 81 25 hundred. Nails
price.
One horseshoer said:
This thing is- very simple. A lot of
men IN this country are sending all
the iron and steel they can get hold
OF to Europe to kill lot of men with
over there. So iron and steel from
which horseshoes and horseshoe nails
are made are scarce and higher in
price. We will have to charge $3.50
now for shoefng the average horse for
which we charged S1.35 before the war"
Under this development, it Is sug-
gested. an owner of fifty or one hun
dred head of horses will have to work
them a little harder. SO that they may
pay for the Increased cost of their
shoeing. which brings about the. Sit
uatton that even the hard-worked de-
livery horse in the streets of Wishing
ton must bear upon his back part of
the burden of the war in Europe.
