NEW RURAL CREDITS LAW IN BRIEF.

The act provides for the creation Of twelve
Federal land banks and permits the establishment
of any number of joint-stock land banks for the
purpose of making loans at a reasonable rate of
interest, for long periods of time, on farm lands.
A Federal Farm Loan Board has complete con-
troll over these banks.
Twelve federal land banks are provided, one in
each of the twelve districts into which the country
will be divided. These banks are empowered to
lend on first mortgages on farm lands in amounts
Of 500 to $4,000 for approved purposes. The
loans are to be made through farm loan associa-
lions and agents. No loan may be made for more
than so per cent. of the value of the land mort
gagged and 20 percent. of the value of the perna-
nent insured Improvements upon it.
National Farm Loan Associations-local or
CARNATIONS composed exclusively of borrowers
are authorized. These associations must be stock
holders in the land banks in proportion to the
amount their members wish to borrow. Event
ually all stock in the Federal land banks will be
owned exclusively by these associations.
A reasonable interest rate is established. The
act prohibits the Federal land banks from charg-
ing more than 6 per cent. on any mortgage, or re-
quiring fees not approved by the Farm Loan
Board.
The borrowers will share in net profits of the
bank because they are stockholders. It is con-
templated that ultimately the borrowers will be
the only stockholders.
Long term loans are provided for by authoriz-
ing mortgages for periods of from 5 up to 40
u annual or semi-annual payments on the
IRE made a required feature of all mort

THINK IT OVER.

Every time you walk along a public street you
see something that ought not to be, and it is not
pleasing to you. Neither is it to others when
they see it.
Possibly it is broken sidewalk, or a mud hole
in the roadway, or a Uttered up vacant lot, or any
one of a hundred different eyesores.
Then, too, possibly it is nobody's business to
t.. look after these things.
Why not make it somebody's business? Why
not employ town utility man, whose business it
would be to spend all of his time in cleaning and
identifying the town?
If we have such a man and it is his business
to do such things, then they will be done-as they
should be, and as they are not now.
Why not a utility man, anyway?
The cost would be so insignificant as to be a
mere nothing, and the results would be so graft.
flying you would just naturally feel like singing
the praises of this town to every one you meet.
That, you know, is the kind of talk that
spreads the fame of a town afar, and brings in
new people. and new industries, and more money
and greater prosperity.
This is merely a suggestion, because we are
not running the town or the people in it.
But we do think it is a good suggestion, and
one that would produce excellent results if favor.
ably acted upon.
Of course you have a mind of your own and
your own opinion on such matters. But what is
that opinion? We'd like to know, and possibly
there are others, too, who would like to know
what you think of a town utility man. Speak up
and be heard.
