New Securities Created by
the Federal Farm Loan Act

farmer depends upon the rate of in
terest at which these bonds will sell
Congress went the limit to make
these bonds attractive so they woulc
sell at low interest rate. The bonds
} are exempt from all forms of taxa
tion. The government will not even
collect any income tax upon them
No state or municipality may tax
them for any purpose.
In order to make these bonds ap-
peal to investors of all classes they
are issued denominations of from
S25 to $1,000.
In order to protect them against
counterfeiting they are used by the
United States government Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and are pro-
tected from counterfeiters by the
whole force of the United States Sc
cret service.
Heretofore it has been practically
impossible for the small investor to
buy real estate securities. A man
or woman who wanted to buy $100
worth of farm securities was not able
to find a farm mortgage of just that
size.
In addition, the investor would not
buy such mortgage without inspect
ing the security. The cost and the
bother were barriers which made it
almost impossible for the small invest
or to get first mortgage securities.
Hereafter it will be possible for
an investor who wants to buy farm
securities from s25 up merely to ap-
ply for Federal Farm Loan Bond
of the denomination desired.
The investor will know that this
bond represents $500 worth of land
appraised under government super
vision, for each dollar of face value,
and that the bond was issued under
government regulation.
The rate of interest at which these
bonds will be issued has not yet been
determined by the Federal Farm
Loan Board. It is safe to predict
that in the beginning it will not be
less than and not more than per
cent.
So the benefits of the Farm Loan
Act are not limited to farmers who
need the use of cheaper capital, but
they include also those persons who
have money to invest and who seek
ing a long time readily marketable
security of undoubted value.

Voting Power of Subscriptions.
RULES TELLING GIRLS HOW
TO USE POWDER PUFFS
(By United Pressl

Ora One, the unusual bridegroom of
a New York wedding which took place
today, says any woman should be
able to dress well and completely in
four minutes. He is an expert on
face powder. Here are his tips to
noses, etc:
First look in the glass and dis
cover the defects. 'Woamn, know thy
SELF was good dope.
"Don't powder your nose if it's
too big for your face. In that caes
powder the cheeks as well.
"If the face is slender, put powder
near the ears. 1t makes for plump
ness.
eff the face is fat, put the pow
der as far away from the ears as
possible.
Don't try to initiate marshmal-
low"
Imperial Valley press., 1917-01-20
LEADERS FOR PRIZES.

The contest closes at 9 o'c7ock this
evening.
After that hour no subscriptions will
be accepted to count in the contest
except that if there are any contest
ants in the office at that time wait
ing to be attended to they will be
allowed to turn in their business be-
fore the final count will begin.
The jury of awards, composed of
three prominent, disinterested busi-
ness men, will Immediately take
charge of the ballot box and will
count the final ballots and announce
the winners of the seven prizes to be
given away by The Press. F. ]. Gil
anola, Jack McDougal and Y. n.
Adams, all connected with e. Centre
banks, have consented to serve as
members of the jury of awards.
Avoid Errors.
Subscriptions obtained today may
be submitted in sealed envelopes by
the various contestants. These envel-
opes will contain the subscription
blanks as well as the cash or checks
to pay for the same. Nothing should
be written on these envelopes but the
name of the contestant.
1t is a good plan to prepare an en-
velope early in the day, containing
all the subscriptions and money to
pay for those subscriptions, that have
been collected up to that time. Later
in the day another envelope can be
made up, containing the eleventh hour
subscriptions which may be obtained
Thousands of votes are lost in al
most every contest by mistake made
by contestants at the last minute.
Friends frequently call Unexpectedly
just before the closing hour, and con-
testants in the rush and excitement
of the close, fail to enclose enough
money to pay for all their subscrip-
tions, or else they forget one or two
of the subscription blanks. AS there
is no way of knowing just what is in
tended, the jury of awards have 10
reject the money or the subscription
not properly inclosed.
Most contestants have friends who
are likely to appear Unexpectedly just

everything ready early, and to have

Washington, Jan. 1S.-As explained
before in these articles, the operation
Of the Farm Loan act are divided into
two main classes-a money assem-
bling agency and a money lending
agency.
The government puts the first nest
egg into the farm loan plan by buy
ing the original capital stock of the
twelve Federal Land Banks if neces-
sary. When this has been loaned and
farm mortgages taken in return for
the money loaned, the Federal Land
Banks may issue bonds against these
mortgages.
These bonds will be among the
most attractive securities ever of
fered to American investors. AS ex-
planned before, farmers are permitted
to borrow only up to so per cent of
the value of their land. This means
that every dollars worth of bonds
issued represents $500 worth of land
as security.
The fact that each Federal Land
Bank guarantees the bonds of all the
ether banks also puts behind these
bonds as security the nine million dol
lars original capital stock of the
banks and their required surplus
earnings, plus the required annual de-
duction of the mortgage loan.
Besides this, the security constant
ly increases proportionately by rea-
son of the constantly increasing cap
ital contributed by the Farm Loan
Association.
So the investment end of the Farm
Loan Act is fully as important as the
money lending end, because it crates
for the benefit of small and large in
vestors a security backed by pooled
first mortgages on farm lands, the
proceeds being used to increase the
productive power, and enhance the
value of these mortaged lands.
