CLUBS is Formed

Does one Of the community clubs
near here need a visitor occasionally

some question that is causing trou-
bic? Down at the University of

carried out. The visitor would be a
member Of the staff of the general
extension division of the university.
Aside from visiting the clubs, he
would aid in conducting a summer
school for secretaries Of community
clubs each year at the university.
The league of the community clubs
is new organization intending to
promote the work of community
clubs and to encourage their organi-
zation in various parts of the state.
P. ]. Seberger, Of St. Cloud is presi-
dent. Other officers are: Vice
president, Fred T. Lincoln, Brainerd;
secretary and treasurer, R. R. Price,
University of Minnesota; executive
secretary, E. L. Bennett, Municipal

eys deposited for a certain length OF
time, naming such period, on the condi.

peal to individuals who have not
been in the habit of making invest
ments. The bonds will be secured
not only by farm mortgages depos-
tied in trust with government Of
fiicial (the registrar for the-land-b bank
district) but also, as indicated above,
by the capital and surplus of the IL
land banks. =.
Both mortgages and bonds will b.
exempt from all forms of taxation.
Farmers who wish to obtain money
from the Federal land banks will or
dinarily be obliged to form local
loan associations, and get their loans
through these organizations. The
local loan association will. improve
the credit Of their members and re-
duce the costs of their loans through
the performance of certain definite
services, among which are the fol-
lowing: The committee called the
sloan committed" of the association
will appraise the property offered as
security and approve all applications
for loans which are sent to the land
bank. The secretary of the
! association will transmit the papers
and carry on all correspondence with
the land bank relative to the loans.
The association will guarantee the
mortgages of it's members, the LA
bility Of any individual member be-
ing limited, however, to an additional
sum equal to the amount of his cap
| ital stock, or approximately to per
cent of his own loan.
One important function of the
new system will be to establish safe
standards for the farm mortgage
business of the United States; for
it is proposed not to extend any cre-
dit except on the basis of proper Sc
| curity. In addition to the indorse-
| ment of the local association, every
loan must have the approval of one
of the salaried appraisers appointed
| by the Government for the several
land banks.
Further, not more than $4,000
may be loaned to one borrower, nor
more than SO per cent of the value
of the land offered as security plus
20 per cent of the value of the build
ings; and the money must be used
for specified productive purposes,
such as the purchase of farm land,
fertilizers, or live stosk, or for the
payment of existing indebtedness.
| The Federal Farm Loan Board of
the Treasury Department has gen.
eral charge of the system. The De-
partment of Agriculture will cooper
ate with this board in supplying in
formation and rendering assistance
to farmers who desire to take advan-
tage of the Federal farm loan act,
especially with reference to the or
ganization of local loan associations.

FIRST NUMBER OF LYcEum
COURSE RENDERED
A High Glass Musical Entertain.
ment Which Was Much Appreeia-*
ted by Large Audience.

Mrs. Rose Clark Price and Miss
Alice Morgan gave the first number
of the Des Moines Lyceum course at
the school auditorium last Friday
evening before large audience.
Mrs. Price who is a pianist of the
highest finish and ability, held the
audience spell bound with her selec-
tions from the greatest master. She
also rendered several pieces on the
violin which was highly appreciated.
Miss Morgan, reader and vocal SOL
ist, more than made good by her
charming personality, grace on the
platform and perfect abandon in
her productions, she made herself a
favorite with her audience. She put
soul and feeling into her work and
has a sweet mellow voice.
If the other four numbers of the
course prove to be as interesting as
this first one, (and we have all pro.
misses that they will be) the course
will be one of the most appreciated
entertainments we have ever had
produced here.
The ladies arrived on the stage
Friday afternoon and had to return
to Lutsen the same evening in order
to catch the train at Cramer the
next day. They are entitled to much
credit for taking this cold drive in
order to keep their engagement.
We hope the weather will be warm
er and riding more pleasant by the
time the next number is given.

BIRTHDAY
- FITTINeLY OBSERVED

Lincoln's birthday was observed
by fitting program at the school
auditorium Monday afternoon. The
program consisted of speeches by
several of our citizens and recita-
tions and songs by the school child
rem.
Professor Beebe spoke on "Abra-
ham Lincoln" advising all to take
the spirit Of Lincoln into their own
lives and look to him for advise in
the present national crisis.
Claus G. Monker gave a very able
address on patriotism" He pointed
out the difference between heroism
and patriotism, that person did not
have to go to war in order to be
patriotic, that a man and woman
who settled down in the wild unset
tied sections of our county to build
up and improve conditions for them
selves and others showed as much
patriotism as the man who went to
the front with gun.
Judge George H. Durfee related
some of his personal experience with
Abraham Lincoln which was very in
teresting. He was present at the
Inauguration Of Lincoln as president,
he heard the famous speech at Get
tysburg and was present with him
at several other noted events.
At the conclusion of the program
the flag was raised on the new staff
on the school building by Judge Dur
fee and c. N. Ashford, members of
the G. A. r., while the audience
stood at salute.

benefits OF The FEDERAL
FARM LOAN ACT
Ways in Which the New System Fur.
nishes Aid to the Farmer In Fl
nancing His Business.

by reason OF the facilities created
by the Federal farm loan act, which
was passed last summer, it will be
be easier in the future for farmer
to secure money to make needed i'm
provements or for the purchase of
live stock, and it will be easier also
for the landless man to purchase a
farm, according to recent publica-
tion of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture (Farmers' Bull
letin 1922 entitled "How the Federal
Farm Loan Act Benefits the Farmer
The Federal land banks established
under this act will stand ready at all
times, it is expected, to lend money
to farmers on farm-mortgage secur-
ity. The interest charges will not be
more than 6 per cent, nor more than
per cent above the rate paid on
the bonds sold by the banks. If Az
per cent bond should be issued,
therefore, the rate charged on loans
would be 81 per cent or less. There
will be no commissions or bonuses.
The loans will be made for periods
of time ranging from to 40 years,
thus doing away with the trouble
and expense of frequent renewals.
The payment of certain part of
the principal annually or semiannual-
ly, with the interest will be required.
The total payment, including the in
terest, will be the same for each
year, and will be just large enough
so that the entire principal will be
paid off at the end of the period.
The annual payment thus required
| to pay off a loan Of $1,000, with in
| terest at 5 per cent, in 20 years, is
$8O.24.
After loan has run 5 years the
borrower will be permitted to pay
| off the whole amount, if he desires,
on any interest date, or to make par
tial payments in addition to the re-
| gular installments.
| The requirement of installment
payments on the amortization plan
as outlined above, will serve, first,
60 cultivate habits Of thrift in the
borrower, and second, to make posi-
BILE the placing Of the loans at a
lower rate of interest, since the
gradual reduction of the principal
constantly improves the security for
the unpaid balance. The privilege
optional payments after the first
years leaves the borrower free to
discharge his indebtedness before
the end of the loan period, if he
finds it convenient to do so.
The Federal land banks will per-
form three important services: 1)
They will convert the security which
farm mortgages afford into negoti-
able form, known as farm loan
bonds. (2) They will furnish addi-
tional security for the protection
| of these bonds, through their capital
and surplus, and thus make the
bonds more attractive to investors.
(3) They will sell the land-bank
bonds in the open investment market
which, for obvious reasons, the small
farmer could not reach to advantage.
The bonds are to be issued in de-
nominations ranging from $25 to ST.
| 900, and it is expected that the
bonds of small denominations will
encourage saving through their ap-
