What is to become of Mobridge
if citizens continue to purchase
their goods from the mail order
houses is the question upon the
lips Of any discerning person who
see the quantities of goods
received at the depot each week
Most everybody is striving to
make u place for Mobridge OH
the map. However. there is a
goodly number who do not seem
to realize that they are sapping
the very. life blood of the city
when they do not keep their money
circulating in their own city.
The citizens of MObridge, should
think deeper than the present gain
and keep all the money they pos.
sibly can, circulating among their
own townspeople for they are the
ones who help to put the value on
the property you own. No eastern
mail order concern will give you
credit when you need it or buy
your property when you desire to
sell; neither will they increase the
value Of il one red cent.
A walk through the stores o:
Mobridge should make the people
feel grateful that Mobridge has
many live merchants who offer all
of the advantages OF a big city.
Sit down and analyze the ques-
ton aud you will readily see what
you are doing to yourself, especi.
ally if you are property owner.

How a Farmer May Borrow

ue Idrluer has llIlIc 10 ~ W
secure loan under the new Farm
Loan Act. The bulk of the work
is done by the secretary.treasurer
Of the Federal Farm Loan ASS cia-
ton. The farmer must get out"
when the loan is paid.
If there is no local association
in the community, at least ten
farmers must get together and form
one. If there is already an assO-
citation, the borrower must join
which he may do upon a two thirds
vote of the directors. Only far
mers, and persons about to become
members and onlv members can
borrow, and all members must be
borrowers
The local associations can be
formed by the help of the county
agent or by the help Of the State
Agricultural Experiment Station,
or through some local leadership.
The loans to members of the
association must aggregate $40 900
or more.
When the farmer gets into the
association he applies for the loan.
He must also become sharehold.
er in the local association. He
must buy one Ave dollar share for
every 800 Of his loan. If his
loan is 81 900 he must buy $4,000
worth Ut shares. He may advance
the cash for these shares, or simply
borrow this money and have it
deducted from his mortgage loan.
In that case. if he bOrrows ST. 900
the Land Bank would forward him
$3.50.
The local association is a cor
poration with what is commonly
called Double liability" like an
ordinary state or national bank.
This is, the farmer is liable for
double his stock. For instance,
if he borrows $1,000, the most he
can lose is 500 which is double
his stock holdings. Put in the
form OF per cent, he Is liable for
ten per cent Of the amonnt of his
loan. 1t will be noticed that this
is not unlimited liability as some
suppose.
The secretary.treasurer of the
local, as mentioned above, writes
and answers letters, keeps the
books, handles the funds, secures
the loans from the Lad Banks,
pays over the money to the Dor
rowers. and does all the active
work Of the association. He ought
to be capable, trust worthy man.
When a farmer pays off his
mortgage his membership in the
local association ceases, the money
invested in shares is returned to
HIM and tho transaction is closed.
