CANADIANS TEN COMMAND

Not only an exclusive vocabulary is
circulated in the land of trenches and
shell holes, but the men have framed
the Ten Commandments into laws OF
peculiar interest to themselves and
their surroundings. A new Toronto
gunner in the Canadian field artillery
has sent copy home, and the ten
laws OF Moses have been transposed
thus:
1. When on guard thou shalt chal
lenge all parties approaching thee.
2. Thou shalt not send any en-

postcard of the earth, nor any draw.

Both Secretary Daniels and Secre-
tary Baker are quoted by a staff cor
respondent of the Tribune as saying
in effect that the clothing provided
by the government for our soldiers
and Sailors adequately protects them
from all the Aeverities of weather they
encounter. For that reason, these en-
inent officials added, the women all
over the country who are working so
hard to knit wooden sweaters, helmets,
wristlets and stockings for the men
in the training camps and in France
are wasting their time, or would be,
except for the fact that these activi-
ties have a reflex influence on them
selves-give them pleasing sense OF
doing something for their country
and so make them happier and in
some degree better,
This is--well, to put it gently, sur.
prising talk. To call it untrue would
be disrespectful, but avoidance of a
suspicion or fear that it may not be
entirely correct-that Messrs. Daniels
and Baker, in this one matter, have
been misinformed-is made difficult
by knowledge, or what has very conf.

friends for more and more knitted gar

they do, the needs of the men in train

HOW loan may Be
OBTAINED UNDER THE
FARM LOAN ACT?

Washington, Jan. 16.-The right-.tC
borrow under the farm loan act is
limited to farmers and prospective
farmers.
Farmers or prospective farmers
who wish to borrow group themselves
into Farm Loan associations, each
association being composed of ten OF
more farmers, and each association
starting with a minimum of at least
$4,000 of loans
To join, farmer merely makes
application TO the secretary treas
urer of the Loan association in his
community. If none has been or
ganized he should get together the
required number of borrowers and
organize an association.
The federal farm loan board at
Washington will furnish, on appli-
cation, a blank form of articles of
association for such organizations.
Then the organizers meet and adopt
these articles and sign them and the
secretary treasurer makes affidavit
thereto. ,...
This association then elects five
or more directors and the directors
then elect a president, vice president,
secretary treasurer, and a loan COM
mittee of three members.
AS soon as the Feredal Land bank
of that district is ready for business
it will provide this local association
with additional blanks including an
for a charter and blanks
for the loan committee to use in the
work of appraising the farms.
AS soon as the loan committee is
elected it map proceed to appraise
the farms upon which mortgages are
to be placed It's report, which must
be unanimous, must accompany the
signed articles of association and be
filed with the federal land bank Of
that district. @
When this is done the appraiser of
the federal land bank will come to
inspect the security offered and ac-
cept or reject the report of the loan
committee.
