MEETING TO STUDY
/ FARM LOAN PLANS
Called for Saturday, January 9th
at Warren to Form Associ-
Z Z alton.

T AS the editor Of the oldest paper
in Marshall County, the editor Of the
Warren Sheaf has been asked by the
American Farm Finance Leagfe to
call a public mass meeting at War
rem at I o'clock p. m. on Saturday,
Jan. N. for the purpose of consider
ing the Federal Farm Loan Act.
Similar meetings are to be- held
the same day in every county seat in
the ration. This is no doubt the
first time in American history that
all the reorle in all the counties
have a chance to come together at
the same time to consider the same
subject.
At snch time and place, the people
are urged to take such action as
their wisdom, nav approve whereby
both wcnld-be borrowers and would
ha Investors NAV be enabled to enjoy
t;the fullest. advantages of the new
Esvstero. The meeting is also invited
to form a county, branch Of the
American Farm Finance League.
The I1rited States land hank for

North Dal,nta. Wisconsin, and Michf-
!, gan. will be located in st. Paul. Il
may be open for business in Arrl

Eplains its business as follows:
The farmer who wants to borrow

/ interest and easv terms of repay
| ment, Joins Tor forms with nine or
4 more other farmers) national farm
loan association, with which he does
all his business. When this local
l5makes loan. it cashes the mort
gage note at its land hank. Against
such security the land bank issues
bonds, the sale Of which furnishes
more money to loan. The borrowers
repay principal bv small install
i ments or more, and the bonds are
4 gradually paid off from such pro-
s s fceeds. Already over $4,000 farmers
! hare annlied for loans aggregating
4 S SO 600 900, but the total sum avail
s able for loans from the capital OF
i, thess12 land banks will be less than
! $4,000, ,000 The balance can be
obtained to lend only from sale of
4 federal farm loan bonds.
The bonds will yield a fair rate
:Eof interest, are tax free and should
l;prove a most desirable investment.
..lBeing in denominations from $25 up,
tf,every person, even children, may
sI,earn and save until by owning a
I5bond they have at least that much
stake in the land. For larger in
4 vestors, institutions and trustees,

WARRINGTON, Aug. 5.--In the shake
up Of Germany's food distribution sys-
tenn and the installation of a new food
dictator, announced in news dispatches
tonight, officials here see the first ef-
fects Of Americas new ironclad en-
barge.
One OF the main arguments used by
advocates OF the embargo against neu-
trails was that II would mean as much
in winning the mar for America as
would 100000 soldiers, were It possible
to send them to the front at once
With the growing certainty that
President Wilson will approve an en-
barge which will release to the neutrals
only enough food for their own use and
no more, It Is supposed the prospects of
an even greater curtailment OF her food
supplies forced Germany to reorganlZe
her whole system OF food administration.
Germany has kept starvation of in
the past largely through the foodstufts
she was able to get from the neutrals
to supplement her own scanty supply,
Large Imports OF Fats.
In fats particularly Germany has suf-
fered a serious scarcity but she has
been able to feed her soldiers and MAIN
tain the morale by huge importations
from the neutrals, the importations from
these sources containing a little more
than Ave and one half pounds per capita
a year. corresponding TO about one
quarter of an ounce daily, which II
almost one-quarter OF the daily fat in
take Of each German at the present time.
From Scandinavia and Holland, ac-
cording to figures furnished by the Brit
ish. enough fat is going into Germany to
supply 100000 soldiers, virtually the
entire army OF electives in the empire.

Off of Imports.

1t was 10 stop this that the President
authorized the embargo. That Germany
Is in alarm over the effects OF the move
IL regarded as certain from the efforts
abe Is making to meet the expected
shortage.
Those who have stood for a strict en-
barge are inclined to interpret the news
from Berlin az a'vlndication of their at
titude. They believe that the embargo
In without question the most powerful
weapon the United States has to use
against Germany at the present time
and that 1t should be used without mercy
not Of course so as to starve the neu-
trails, but certainly 80 as to prevent
them from feeding Germany with Amer
lean food as they have in the past.
No FoodstuH Exports.
Virtually no foodstufrs are going
abroad st present, but this is more be-
cause all the details Of the epbargo
policy are not ready to announce than
because of the operation of the em-
barge itself. As soon as replies are
received from all the neutrals in re-
sponse TO inquiries Of this Government
as to their food needs the Exports Coun-
Gil will announce the policy under which
food will be allotted to the various neu-
trail countries.
On the basis OF the food requirements
OF q normal person in fats protsins and
carbohydrates, an estimate will be made
OF the requirements OF the population of
the neutral nations. The deficiency ex-
isting the United States will endeavor
to make up, but beyond this no export
license will be granted.
In this way 1t is hoped to keep food
stuffs entirely out Of Germany and to
make the shortage which now confronts
the empire a terrifying reality.
