LAND BANKS DESIGNATED,


soon be organized and the money
will be available. The work of or
ganization is being rushed with all
possible speed. and it is expected
the banks will be in a position to
serve borrowers early In 1917. Blank
applications for charters and blank
forms for individual applications for
loans may be secured from these
banks.
The farm loan act says that "only
natural persons" may borrow. This
means that corporations are excluded.
The basis of valuation is the or
binary, common-sense basis for loans.
In arriving at it both the selling
value of the land and its productive
power will, of course, be given con-
sideration.
Torrens titles or any other system
of title registration adopted under
state laws will be accepted by the
federal land banks.
Suggestions for Organizing Farm
A word also about the size and the
territorial limits of a national farm
loan association. You are permitted
under the law to pay your secretary
treasurer salary. If you have a
small association it is likely that one
of your members will act as secre-
tary-treasurer without pay. So it
may be more economical to have
smaller associations and have more
of them than to have very large as
ISOLATION and pay your secretary
treasurer a salary. Or, If it be deemed
advisable, all the associations in one
county could employ one secretary
treasurer, located at the county seat.
1t might be possible to secure the
services of an attorney who would
act as secretary-treasurer without
compensation on condition that each
borrower of that county engage him
to prepare abstracts of title at stat
ed amount per abstract. 1t is i'm
portant to keep down expenses. Re-
member, this is a cooperative bank
ing system.
There are no territorial limits for
. loan association, except that 1t can
not operate across state lines. An as
ISOLATION may accept members from
any place within the territory out
lined In its articles of association.
Before you hold meeting to or
ganixe q national farm loan associa-
ton. get good announcement
printed in your local newspaper tell
ing of the meeting and its purpose
and inviting all those interested to
attend. Perhaps the editor would
print coupon to be signed by inter-
ested persons and mailed to you 90
ron would have, In advance, . good
idea Of All the persons interested.
Remember, It takes ten or more to
organize an association, and the as
sociation must start business with APP
plications for 1T least $4,000 Of
loans. II some Of your members can
not use the money 1t once. but you
need them to make up your total. let
them join now, sign the articles OF
association, and get the money any
time within six months. We would
advise you not to accept for member
ship anyone who cannot use the
money within six months.
Remember. only actual farmers
may borrow, and only borrowers may
become members. A borrower need
not actually live on his land. but he
must farm It either directly or with
hired help. II he leases It to . ten
ant he cannot borrow. because he
ceases to be an actual farmer. Cor
porations and partnerships cannot
borrow.

NEUTRAL SHIPS GET EXTENSION
 OF TIME LIMIT

Paris, Feb. 9-A Madrid dispatch to the Petit Journal says that the German government has announced that it grants a further delay of AS hours for neutral ships at sea to re- gain neutral ports.
 Germany's original note to the United States announcing the re- sumption of unrestricted submarine warfare said that neutral ships which were on their way toward ports in the blockade zones on Feb. 1, would be Spared during a sufficiently long period" The note also said that neutral ships in ports within the bar red zone would be given until Feb. 5 to sail and must take the shortest route out of the restricted areas On Feb. 2 the Spanish government ask ed the Central Powers for an exten- sion of time in which Spanish ships at sea in the blockade zone could re- turn to port, but no dispatches have mentioned any specified time limit as set by Germany.

But it seems rooted in the nature of things, ineradicable But if war should come as the result of Germanys lat est defiance, the politicians will have to do some big explaining for things as\ they are.

 One the whole the conduct ef the war in Europe seems to have been fairly honest Producers have been all grabbing for profits of course, as the camp followers of any war in- variably do.

IMMIGRATION EXPERT >' GIVES TALK ON
 SOCIAL INSURANCE

Edward F. McSweeney of Boston will deliver lecture on Social Insur- ance in Bridgeport at St. Augustine's S hall, Feb. Is. This will be the 4th in the series of lectures being given this winter under the auspices of the Catholic Charitable bureau. MT. Nc Sweeney will speak from a very wide and varied experience. He is a self made, se1f-educated man. With bare ly a common school education, he has risen by his own merit to the highest offices of responsibility. For nine years he has served as Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island. For some years he was editor of the Bos- ton Traveller. He is looked upon as an authority on tuberculosis, having studied the problem abroad and later served as chairman of the Board of the Boston Consumptive Hospital. For five years he was member of the In- dustrial Accident Board. He is now director of the port of Boston. He was a congressman under the McKin- ley administration and was a close personal friend of Mckinley.
 The subject Mr. McSweeney, has chosen for his address is a very timely one and one which is exciting much interest Throughout the country. Re- gently the State of California created the Social Insurance Commission for the purpose of Investigating the va rious systems of social insurance now in existence or under contemplation in other states of the United States or in foreign countries. The state of California is the first state in the Unit ed States to appoint Social Insurance commission and the work of this com mission is of national significance. MT.

Private letters from the Vatican re- ceived in Washington said that Pope Benedict XIV. was about to appoint a commission of four cardinals to re- new movement begun by Pope Lee XIII. and abandoned by Pope Plus X looking to a reunion of Christianity and the cultivation of friendly rela- tions with the Anglican church.
 The honor of presiding over the commission of cardinals, it was report ed, would be bestowed upon Cardinal Marini, one of the new cardinals ere ated at the last consistory, who had devoted many years to scientific re- search and to the cause of a reunion of Christianity. The interest of the pope in the problem of Christian unity is said to have been intensified by the recent progress of the world congress initiated by the American Episcopal church.

politicians will have to do a lot of explaining for many deplorable con- ditions that have continued despite the indignant protest of both the army and the navy.
 Carrying Congressional districts and pleasing the store keepers near navy yards and army posts would look pretty small with an enemy pounding on our doors. Keeping army posts where they were needed to fight the Indians would not be accepted as an excuse for the destruction of muni- ton plants needed for national pro lection. It was thought that after the revelations of the Cuban war, our poll iticians would have learned a lesson. But it is not recorded that any Con- gressman ever admitted that a navy yard or army post in his own district was useless,
