Parker, organizer Of the company, and

naming the cotton mills company as
his beneficiary.
Mr.. Parker took out this insurance
about four years ago, the mills having
paid the premiums. He'passed a rigid
physical examination at that time,
there being no indication of the can
cerous growth in his jaw, which de-
veloped about two years ago and re-
suited in his death. In addition to the
insurance for the mills company it is
understood Mr.. Parker carried large
personal insurance.

The ROYAL Palm Hammock.

The recent legislature ceded to the
Florida Federation of Woman's Clubs
a section and half of land known
as the Royal Palm Hammock, situat-
ed below the frost line in Dade coun-
tv. It is the purpose Of the Fed
Grafton to convert this tract into 4
State park, and eventually into a bo-
tanical garden, with a sanctuary for
birds. Mrs. Flagler has also given TO
the Federation an equal acreage as
an endowment, and which the fedora
ton proposes to cultivate under a
caretaker for tomato growing. The
soil is of splendid quality.
The federation needs a caretaker
and residence at once, and to secure
them have set out to raise a mile OF
dimes, which would give $6,336
Strips to hold u dimes each, are to
be distributed by Federation members
throughout the State, and when filled
are to be sent to Mrs. John W. Gift
ford. chairman of the Park Commit
tee, Coacoanut Grove, Fla. The dis
tribution of these strips has been Civ
en- over to the various Women's
Clubs of the State, and Palatka and
other towns in the county will soon
be sending them out.
As the park is to be a State instl~
tuition. no doubt many persons out
side the Woman's Club influence will
be pleased to give. Each club in the
State will be given full credit for all
monies turned in.
Don't be surprised when you ge:
one of these dime strips to fill out; and
don't thrust it to one side, but look
well into the merits of this great
movement for a State Park.

The capital stock of the land banks will not give them much loaning power so congress increased that power greatly by authorizing the banks 10 issue farm loan bonds and sell them in the open market. The act provides that when 8 federal land bank has loaned s50000 to farmers it may issue corresponding amount of farm loan bonds and that the total that may be issued by any one bank on a minimum subscribed capital or %E0,0 is to be twenty times that capital. This would give each oank S15.000,O00 and the whole system S1S0, LOGO, GOO to loan on first mortgages.
 Farm loan bonds are to be made attractive by payment of not more than five per cent interest and pro- vision that they shall he exempt from federal state or municipal taxation They are made legal investments for trust funds. They are not to be oo- legations Of the United States but will have behind them the first mortgages on farm lands. These mortgages also are exempt from taxation.

 In the beginning the federal land banks will be governed by directors appointed pv the farm loan board but after subscriptions from loan asso- citations to any federal land bank capital stock reach Sl00.00O. an cleo tive system will become effective, with three directors chosen by the board and six ny the lean associa tions.
