The Farm Loan MeetiHQ.

About fifty farmers of Lapile and Harrison townships met in the Princess theatre last Saturday af- ternoon pursuant to Q call for the purpose of organizing a Farm Loan association to take advantage of the cheap money to be loaned un- der the recently enacted federal loan bank act
 c. T. Thompson explained the provisions of the act and those present who wanted to join such an association and borrow money were requested to hand in the amounts desired and the number of acres of land they owned. The amounts wanted figured nearly Sl8,0OO. but as it takes loan of S2O 900 to form an association, no action was taken but the list left open and can be added to at the First National Bank any time and if sufficient amount is wanted to assure the required amount being left after dedueting for those loans where the abstract of title is not acceptable. final organization can be effected at another meeting.
 To make the thing an assured fact at least $50,O0o should be sub scribed as number of abstracts will show the title faulty and some of those desiring small loans will object to the necessary expense of securing abstracts.
 Along this line, however, it would be wise for every land owner to have his title perfected as 1t is inn possible to sell to an outsider un- less this is done.

The Publicity Act.

In view of the fact thqt another bill to repeal Act No. 5, the Pub liCity measure. has been introduced in the legislature. and in view of the fact that bill to repeal this measure was defeated in the legis- lature of 1915. the members of the | Arkansas Press Association desire to make ths statement to the members Of the Arkansas [episla- ture and the people of Arkansas:
 The Publicity Bill was initiated and passed by the voters of Arkan- sas by majority of 14.824. The members of ths Arkansas Press Association know that the theory of the publicity act is proper theory. and know that publicity is the most potent weapon against petty graft and Irregularities in government. but the members of the Arkansas Press Association resent the atti- tude of those legislators who would put the publishers of the State in the attitude of favoring the Pub llcity Law merely because 1t pro- duceS revenue for the newspapers. and refuse to allow the publishers to be put in such an attitude.
 The members of this Association desire to state most emphatically to the people and to the legislators that the revenue produced by this law is unimportant to the neWspa- pers, and they desire to call to the attention of the people and the legislators that the publications of Initiated and referred measures un- der the Initiative and Referendum amendment to the Constitution cannot be handled by some of the larger newspapers of the state be. cause the rate of pay provided therein is too low to make such publications remunerative to such newspapers.
 The Press Association desires to state further that it will make no opposition to any effort to repeal the publicity law which came from the people and not from the egis- lature. The members of the As sociation believe a demand will be made by the people of the State for enactment of this measure if 1t is repealed. If this demand comes from the people. the pub fishers of Arkansas will demand that the rate of publication be made the full legal rate instead of half the legal rate as is now pro vided.
 The publicity law has every right to remain in the statutes of Arkan- sas. It was passes by the people. and the people have seen the bene- fits of it. But the newspapers of Arkansas will resort to no pussy footing methods to perpetuate the law, and choose. rather. to make the plain statement to the General Assembly relying wholly on it's pa triotism and fairness in the matter. The Association desires to an- nounce it's intention to publish this statement in every newspaper al lied with this association. This publication will be made whether the Act is repealed or not. for the publishers deem it wise that the people of the State should know their attitude in this matter.
