THIRD REGIMENT ORDERED.

Little Rock. May 12.-Orders
were received Friday, it was learned
today, authorizing the organization
Of a third infantry regiment OF ar
tillery, brigade headquarters detaeh-
ment, one company Of signal eorps
following sanitary units, field hos
pital, ambulance company, head
quarters train and ammunition train
and following cavalry units; one
field hospital, one ambulance com
pany 10 the Arkansas militia
The order made no provision for a
regiment or troops Of cavalry, al
though smaller cavalry units are pro
vided for.
1t is probable that an infantry
regiment and brigade headquarters
detachment will be organized in the
near future, but the authorization OF
others will probably not be taken adj,
vantage of at present because OF
stringent requirements demanded By
the war department.
Before any Of the proposed new
organizations will be recognized by
the federal government, the FRS
and Second Arkansas infantry reg
ments already organized, must have

ne provisions Of this Act are deemed
and held to be instrumentalitie5 q
the Government Of the United
States" and as such they and the
income derived therefrom, are de-
clared and held to be exempt from
Federal, State, Municipal and local
taxation; when you consider that the
rate of taxation in st. Louis is
1925 on $4,000, you will begin to
understand why the public, owning
local real estate mortgages and other
similar investments, are anxious to
convert their investments into nom
taxable Farm Loan Bonds.
! have gone into these first steps
in the permanent organization OF
this Land Bank (which, of course, ap-
plies to the entire Federal Land Bank
System) so that you can readily see
why some slight delay has been alb
solutely necessity in the time elaps-
ton of the Land Banks and their
field work in making loans through
perfected National Farm Loan Asso-
Citations.
THIRD-The appointment of Land
Bank Appraisers has necessarily been
delayed until the Farm Loan Bond
question has been settled, fer to
have made these appointments at an
earlier date would have only meant
that there were additional men on the
paw roll of the Land Bank without
any opportunity 10 perform service
in return for their pay. While on
this subject of expense, 1t may not
be amiss to state that Immediately
on payment by the Government for
the stock Of this Land Bank, which,
under terms Of the Farm Loan Act
draws no dividends or other interest,
this money was placed with the
strong local National Banks of St.
Louis on a basis that nets this Land
Bank $4,000 per month, so we have
practically covered our present expen-
ses in this way.
FOURTH-Now to answer your
questions: As soon as the bond
question Is determined, think APP
