THE FEDERAL
FARM LOAN ACT

The Federal farm loan act, pop
ularly called the "Rural credits
law" was signed by the President
and became law on July IL, 1916.
The primary purpose of this act
is to promote agricultural prosper
ity by enabling farmers to borrow
money on farm-mortgage security
at a reasonable rate of interest and
for relatively long periods Of time.
TO attain this object, two, farm
mortgage systems are provided.
az A system operating through
regional land banks, and (2) q sys-
tenn operating through joint-stock
land banks.
To attract money to the farm
loan feldthe act provides method
whereby those who have money to
lend can find safe investment in
the form, Of debentures or bonds,
of small and large denominations,
issued by the banks and based on
the security of mortgages on farm
lands.
These two systems are to be un-
der the general supervision Fed
eral Farm Loan Board in the
Treasury Department, composed of
the Secretary of the Treasury, as
chairman ex officio, and four MEM
bers appointed by the President.
This board has authority to appoint
appraisers, examiners and regis
trars, who will be public officials.
FEDERAL LAND-BANK SYSTEM.
Under the Federal land-bank
system the act provides for Feder-
al land banks which make loans,
for the first IL months, exclusively
through local national farm-loan
associations composed of borrow
ers. These associations shall be
shareholders in the banks, and in
that way the members who are the
borrowers will share in the profits
OF the bank. The money for the
loans is to come partly from the
capital Of the banks and partly
from the sale by the banks OF bonds
secured by first mortgages on farm
lands. The act defines strictly the
purposes for and the conditions
under which loans are to be made,
aud requires that the rate Of inter
est charged on farm loans shall not
exceed 6 cent per annum.
TWELVE FEDERAL LAND BANKS.
The United States shall be di-
vided into IL farm-loan districts,
and and Federal land bank with
a subscribed capital stock Of not
less than $75O,000, each share SIS,
shall be established in each district,
Each Federal land bank may estab-
lish branches in its district. With
ia 30 days after the capital stock
is offered for sale it may be pur-
chased at par by anyone. There
after, the stock remaining unsold
shall be bought BY the Secretary Of
the Treasury for the United States.
1T is provided, however, that the
Government shall not receive any
dividends on. its stock. Ultimate
ly, it is intended that all the stock
in the banks shall be owned by the
associations of borrowers, and pro-
vision therefore is made in the law
for the original stock at par to
these associations.
FARM LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.
The act provides for the creation
sf local national farm-loan associa-
tions through which it is contem-
plated that the Federal land banks
shall make their loans. In the
event that a local loan association
il not formed in any locality with

ing blow was given he largest sur
viving band OF Villa followers in Chi
huahua at daylight June 9 by twenty
men of the Thirteenth United States
cavalry under Captain Otto w. Ret
horst in dashing canyon fight TWEEN
ty miles north of Santa Clara, near
here. The Americans were unhurt.
The Americans routed twenty-five
Villa bandits. killing three. woundihg
several and capturing all their horses
and saddles, some rifles and several
thousand rounds OF ammunition, Grip
ping the band completely.
A night ride brought the Americans
into the canyon at daybreak, where
they followed fresh horse tracks. Rid
ing at a gallop they rounded canyon
turn within 200 yards OF the encamp-
fnent in grove Of pines. 1t was
complete surprise. There was a
headlong rush among the Villa fol-
lowers, who, half clad, grabbed rifles
and fought from behind trees.
The Americans dismounted and
within three minutes had routed the
bandits, who abandoned everything
and sought refuge in the rugged
mountains. For four hours the Amer
leans continued the pursuit, climbing
over the mountains afoot and fight
ing from the shelter OF rocks. Sew
eral Mexicans were shot, but neither
the bodies nor the wounded were re-
covered.
Returning to the Mexican bivousc
the Americans added the bandits
breakfast to their own repast. The
bandits had only beef and coffee.
This band is said to have been the
largest surviving remnant of the force
of Candelaria Cervantes, who was
killed three weeks ago in a brush
with Americans. The engagement is
regarded as the most important ac-
complishment Of the campaign.
Situation Seems Improved.
Washington, June l3.-While some
State department advices today gave
a more favorable aspect to conditions
in northern Mexico others reported
anti-American demonstrations, leav-
ing the situation unchanged. The agi-
tation has subsidized in the Chihuahua
City region, where the most violent
outbreaks occurred.
Secretary Lansing indicated, how
ever, that smashing OF store windows,
parading and speech making had con-
stituted the greater part Of the out
breaks. The rioters have not dis
tinguished between Americans and
other foreigners, it was stated, al
though the cause OF the disorder is
always given as the American troops
on Mexican soil.

WHY WOMEN

cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask "Are
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham

yenuine?" "Are they truthful Z"
Why do women write such letters7"
In answer we say that never have we
published q fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have We published
an untruthful letter, or one without tho
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts Of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
