FARM LOAN DIRECTORS MEET
See That Your Title Is Perfect or You
Can Secure No Loan,

At meeting of the Farm Loan Di.
rectors Saturday
1t was decided that the hrst step
necessary was. to get all titles of the
land distracted or when they will not
abstract, to take such action as may
perfect them. 1t will be impossible to
get loan on land where the title is
not good.
A. j. Mcclure is official abstractor
for the Association, and all papers
must be examined by him, so com
mence at once to see what kind OF a
title you have to your land, and If not
perfect. take such steps as will perfect
it.
Any one still wanting to join may do
so by seeing me, as | have the articles
of association that you must sign.
| am in receipt of letter from the
Federal Farm Loan Board stating that
the stock of the Federal Banks was all
sold Feb. 10th and that the banks would
be ready for business by Feb. Goth or
soon thereafter, and that farmers
should be able to get their loans during
March.
Now you see how important it Is to
get your titles in shape. The Directors
will not send the Loan Committee to
appraise your land unless your title is
prefec.

We recently heard of two farmers
who happened to apply at about the
same time for loans from. trust COM

A in this worlds goods, use1 pencil
and scratch paper, and wrote on both
SIDES of the sheet. The result was. B's
letter made so bad an impression that
he experienced considerable delay and
trouble in getting his loan, while AS

In getting results from corresDon-

paper as a twelve-cylinder automobile

consigned from Columbus to Indian
apolis, when the calf showed a dispo-
sitlon to ramble. 1t rambled all
around, in and out of town, and White
man had to forsake his other duties
and follow after. The chase continued
from four O'Clock in the afternoon un-
til about ten o'clock at night, when it
was a draw between the calf and
Whiteman. At that hour Whiteman
walked up to the calf and the animal
accompanied him back to the Penn

SCRAPS OF PAPER
A Brief and Concise Statement of the
Situation Between Britain and
Germany.

All naval nations previously agreed
that in case of war between two OF
more of them that belligerent ships
carrying neutrals and no war materia-
should ply the sea unharmed, without
first warning and removing neutrals to
safety.
Britain first preached the treaty by
using neturals to protect her war ma
terial on the same ships.
Germany protested and served notice
that she was going to sink such ships
without warning, unless BritaIa would
comply with the treaty.
Wilson Informed Germany that she
could not so break the treaty on ac-
count OF Britain that Britain's breach
was matter of adjustment separate
and apart from that of Germany.
Germany then reconformed to the
treaty pending Wilson's making Britain
conform to it. Several months passed.
Britain did not only continue to use
neutrals to protect her contraband YES
sells, but also announced that she was
going to mount guns fore and aft on
all passenger vessels.
A week later Germany announced
that Wilson had failed to make Britain
comply with the treaty, and that she
Germany would no longer comply
with it, either.
Early in the war Britain threw a
starvation blockade around all ports
that would likely lead to Germany.
Germany announced such blockade
around all ports of the allies.
: Wilson Informed Germany that sho
could not do this and that the allies
blockade was a matter of adjustment
separate and apart from that of Ger
many.
So Germany desisted in executing
her blockade, waiting on Wilson to
raise the allies blockade. The allies
have not only persisted in their rigid
blockade, but have actually ransacked
and contiscated much OF eur foreign
comm rec and even our mails. So
Germany reannounced her blockade.
Germany has shot up some OF our
citizens on Brltain's vessels, Mexico
Las shot up some of our citizens on our
own soil. We are obligated to protect
the lives of our citizens, but it seems
that Wilson Is more concerned about
giving protection to those on British
ships than he is to those on American
soil.
The previous paragraphs are brief
statemnet of facts and the first part
embraces the bone Of contention be-
tween Britain, Germany and our gov
ernment.
Germany has shown an INCLINATION to
comply with treaties. Britain hasn't.
And If We are a party to see that IN
ternatonal treaties arc enforced, mas
much as we have tailed TO bring Brit
am to taw, we should release Ger
many, step out OF the way and let the
two bellIgerents settle their breach be- I
tween themselves. For COD knows {
