Farm Loan AUTHORIZATIONS.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-in your account of the meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce on Tues
day, when the two farm loan associ-
atoms were united and the Henrico
County Farm Loan Association was
first thing that must be done is to
have only one organization, for Il is
absolutely impossible to obtain loans

Your reporter misunderstood me-.
The statement made by me on that
nothing in the farm loan act prohibit
ing more than one association in q
county, nor combining the operations Of
an an a EsScna, 1T to that county. Bur
consideration. has reached the con-
clusion that in the interest of economy
and efficiency the wise policy to pursue
Is to have one strong association in
each county. and combining the busi-
ness operations OF that association to
the said county"
correction be made. because we at all
times avoid an appearance Of coercion
in these matters I stated to the mem
occasion that their action in uniting
was to be voluntary. I can see how
the reporter could have been led into
said by one of the members Of the
Slavic Association. During the discus
sion that followed my talk, one mem
Der Of the Slavic Association asked II
they did not care to unite with the
other association. would they be COM
PEELED to do 50? I replied that no one
would be compelled to do anything,
but, as they were anxious to get their
loans, L felt that 1t was their duty to
assist me in every way possible to do
the work quickly, and that the quick
est way to appraise the lands was to
form the union so that we could deal
with the matter as a whole and not
be going over the same ground twice.
This was an unusually good meet
ing, probably one of the largest meet
ings Of the kind held in the State, and
I predict for the association formed
a very prosperous future. 1t certainly
ought to be ono Of the very best farm
loan associations in the entire banking
district Mr.. w. J.. Kirby the efficient
agricultural agent Of the Chamber of
Commerce. was untiring in his efforts
to get out a full meeting of the farm
ers Of tho county, and take this oc-
casion to express my appreciation OF
his efforts in this behalf.

of that price, a fourteen-ounce loaf Of broad

A New Liberty IIoan

n ENCOURAGEMENT is made of tentative
arrangements for launching another
Liberty loan campaign October L. The
amount of the Offering will probably be
sS.o00,OOo,Ooo. The interest rate, denomi-
nation of the bonds and other details will
be announced later.
The success of the first issue of $1,000
100000, which was oyersubscribed by more
than billion dollars, sufficiently indicates
the temper of the American people to give
assurance of the fotation of the second loan
without much difficulty, but as with tho
first, it is to be hoped that large part of
the issue will be taken by the masses 1t
Is essentially to the interest OF the latter,
as well as to that of the country that this
be the case. In respect to such loans, the
English masses have furnished an example
that the American working classes will do
well to emulate. More than 1000, 900 Eng
lish workers were purchasers, out of their
savings in the second great war loan of
Great Britain, and 100000 subscribed to
their last war loan. Although purchasing
billions of dollars Of war bonds in 1916. the
small savings banks depositors in England
Increased their deposits over s6O,00OOOO
The patriotism that prompted this action
started the English people to saving their
money. They economical and saved for
their own sake we'll as for Englapd's
sake.
Both In ability and patriotism the Amer
lean people are the equals Of the English.

the American people will have the added in

McAdoo has expressed it, "all of the money

ceiVe that amount in Liberty loan bonds.
which is as valuable security as the world
affords. Also. they will have in their
pockets or their banks the 100000 900
loaned the government, and all of the money
obtained by the government will have been
spent IN this country for American products
and in payment of American wages.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. a.
The first girl page in congress-

14-year-old Washington lassie,
backed for the Job by Miss jean
cite Rankin, first woman con-
gresham, and Representative
Clyde Kelly, representing the dis
trict including Cecilia's former
home, Swissvale, Pa.
Even IL circumstances prevent
Cecialia from attaining this am
bition she had already qualified
as the youngest and sharpest little
lobbyist Washington ever saw.
There's a woman in congress
now" Cecilia says, land therell
soon be more. So why not girl
pages?? The women congressman
will need them.
II want to study law later, and
l think the house job will help me
a lot"
Does Cecilia understand the
perils of politics and is she fitted
to cope with them? Listen:
miss Rankin has told me she
would do all she could, but she's
a republican and cant help much
when the democrats are in control.
But Mr.. Kelly is a democrat.
