FARMERS PLAN A
BIG MASS MEETING
To Organize Under Federal Farm
Lean Act at Nezperce. satur-
day. February "a


That the full benefit 10 be de-.
rived by farmers from the Federal
Farm Loan Act may be enjoyed
by those engaged IN agriculture
on Nexpcree Prairie. il has been
decided ~ a number Of leading
ranehers To call q mass meeting.
20 BE- held al the Fratcrnal Temple
III Nexpercc on the afternoon Of
Saturday. February -. where the
workings OF this law shall BE- ful-
II explained and where an organi-
xati0n may be effected to work
with other organizations Of the
same nature.
This new system Is about % 60
into effect aud every farmer la

munity in general is interested ia
It's workings. therefore this meet
ing should bc attended by every
one. at p. m. Saturday, Febru
ary "a.
For the better understanding Of
the why Of this meeting and its
general object, the following out
line Of the plan Is given below
What the Federal Farm Loan act
Does.
II provides q method, under
national supervision. whereby
farmers may Cooperate 70 obtain
longtime mortgage loans ~
reasonable rates upon easy terms
Of repayment.
This is done through national
farm loan associations. composed
Of ten or more borrowing farmers
Each Of these locals becomes q

bank districts in the Unitc,l
States. one federal land bank IN
each. with $750,000 paid.up cash
capital.
The government land banl.
cashcs the first mortgages on the
borrowers farms.
Against such mortgages, the
land banks issues federal farm
loan bonds, free Of all tax
The sale Of these bonds furnish.
IS additional funds to loan. Free
buying Of bonds means free lend

bonds means that the cash avail.
able for loans viii be correspond
ingly restricted.
Federal farm loan bonds are an
attractive investment They COM
hine the attributes Of safety and
availability with fair return,
free Of tax.
Ultimately farm loan bonds
may sell somewhere near the same
basis as municipal, state or gov
ernmcnt bonds, TO some of which
they may prove to be superior IN
several respects.
The lower the interest rate on
the bonds, the less borrowing
farmers win have to pay.
The whole system is directed By
the federal farm loan board under
safeguards that bid fair to insure
success. The board itself has no
money TO lend. loans are made
bv the land banks only through
associations, as stated
above. The United States gov
ernment does not put up any mon
~ TO lend, except that it pays par
for any land bank shares not sub
scribed for by others. The whole
system must evolute gradually,
slowly, safely, permanently

tenn has become thoroughly es-
tablished, 1t win be owned ex-'

Washington, Feb. The re-
lentless submarine warfare inau-
gurated today by Germany brings
the United States face to face
with what President Wilson sol
emnly declared to be the only al
tentative TO recognition Of Amer
lean rights on the high seas. a
break IN diplomatic relations, with
its accompanying grim possibili-
ties.
Washington, Feb. IA starva-
tion blockade of England, the like
of which the world never has seen.
was announced to the world late
yesterday in notes delivered TO
American Ambassador Gerard in
Berlin and to the state department
here BY Count Won Bernstoff, and
henceforth all traffic by sea-neu-
trail or enemy-within a proscrib-
cd zone, win be endangered.
Washington, Feb. 3.-PreSident
Wilson today spoke the purpose
of the United States government
in its relations toward Germany.
Diplomatic intercourse between
the two nations is at an end. Peace
or war now depends upon wheth-
er Germany, in carrying out her
newest naval threat, commits an
overt act against life or property
of an American citizen.
The main events of this histori-
cal date were briefly as follows.
President hands German AM
baSsador Bernstoff his passports
and recalls American ambassador
and consuls from Germany. In an
address TO congress the president
relates the steps he had taken and
his course is warmly indorsed.
Congress said to be ready to de-
clare war on Germany at a word
from the president.
American steamer Housatonic
sunk by German submarine No ac-
ton is TO be taken at Washington
until facts are officially reported.
Twenty-Five of the crew Of 81
were native or naturalized Amer
leans. The captain and three
mates reported saved.
Allies pleased at break. En-
glish view is that while allies
could defeat Germany, American
financial and moral assistance
will hasten the victory.
