any productive purpose on the farm as
we'll as for buying farm property OF
paying Of existing mortgages.
All loans are being made for peri
cd of 36 years. The rate Of interest is
per cent, but the farmer by paying 6
per cent on the principal, will in that
period of time gradually pay off his
mortgage. On the other hand, after
the first five years he may, on any
payment date, pay the whole or any
portion of the principal. In this way
a man knows just what he must do for
period Of 36 years and he is at lib
erty to shorten this term as much as
he may be able.
Should a man suffer crop failure,
loss Of buildings, or personal health,
the association may, at its discretion,
carry him for definite period if they
are satisfied that he is still solvent.
At the meeting to be held later a
representative of the bank will be
present to explain the system in de-
tail, to answer any questions, and to
assist in forming a local association.
Anyone who is interested should send
his name to the county agent, F. Cliff
ford Shaw, Bennington, VT, who will
see that he is notified of the time and
place of meeting.
1t is necessary to have at least ten
charter members, while more than
that number of names are now on file,
it is desirable to have from Is to 25
before definitely organizing.
The Farm Loan Act and the system
which it has put into operation are
designed primarily to assist and serve
the small and medium sized farmer.
The Farm Loan Board in Washington,
which is Bureau of the Treasury De-
partment, and the Land Banks
throughout the country are doing their
utmost TO make the system serve the
ends for which the act was passed.
A fine spirit of cooperation has been
manifested by farm bureaus, county
agents, agricultural schools and COL
leges in bringing this about.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
With.
Most soaps and prepared sharnpoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease.
lessl, is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moistcn your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lathcr rinscs out easily,
and removes every particle of dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
i fp{.a9St silky tFiibgs fluffy and easy
You can get mulsi6ed cocoanut oil ct
