RUSSIA REDEEMED.

If the great war has no other
result than the redemption of
Russia it will not have been in
vain. The great empire has
thrown off the yoke of royalty,
forced the car to abdicate and
has established a provisional re-
public. The death knell of the
house of Romanoff, which for
years has been a curse to Rus
sia, has been sounded, and the
late czar has fled to Crimea
where he is living quietly on a
private estate. He is fortunate
to have escaped with his life.
Retribution has been a long
time coming to the Romanoffs,
but the fall of that house is per-
manent. Along with the Rom
anoffs go graft, cruelty and
many other abuses that finally
resulted in the turning of the
people like lion at bay. With
the incoming OF the republic
came the release of hundreds Of
political prisoners and a practic-
al abrogation of the terrible ex-
lie system.
The sympathy, friendship and
the best wishes of the great
American people are with Rus
sia in her new role. Dangers
lurk before the infant republic
but it is to be hoped it will sail
clear of them and establish it
self as a permanent government
under whose flag the common
people shall enjoy all the rights
that are their just due.
The army, the navy and prac-
tically all the large cities in the
great empire are with the new
regime. The revolution has been

bors and find nine other farm
ers who also want to borrow
money and are ready to say just
how much they need and what
they want the money for.
2. These nine neighbors and
yourself must agree to borrow a
total of $4,000. Remember that
unless it is that much none of
you can borrow a cent.
3. Call meeting of these ten
farmers who need the money,
organize yourselves into a "Na-
tional Farm Loan Association, "
and elect officers.
4. You then appoint a COM
mittee of three to appraise the
ten farms.
5. The committee reports its
The Redwood gazette., 1917-04-11

appraisement, and the various
blanks are filled in and sent to
the Farm Loan Bank.
6. Remember that if your
farm is appraised at $4,000, you
can borrow $4,000, and if the
improvements are worth $500
you can only borrow $500.
7. No, this appraisement
doesn't settle it. In due course
of time a federal appraiser, a
sleek looking gentleman, will
come out and make second ap-
praisement.
8. Perhaps, after driving
around and viewing the ten
farms, this federal appraiser
finds that one Of the farms was
appraised too high.
9. That being the case, un-
der the law, the committee must
meet again and make a new ap-
praisement, bringing the amount
down to the limit set by the
federal appraiser.
10. Perhaps just at this time
one of the ten men dies. This
is hard luck al around. For
nine men cannot form one of
these associations, and so you
must go and find another man
who wants to get loan and the
whole process must be repeated.
II. But wait a minute. The
Federal Land Bank sends a word
that their attorneys find a de-
feet in the title to Bill Jones'
land. The title must be cor
rected through the court, or else
you must find another man to
take Bill Jones' place. For you
cannot get your loan unless all
ten Of the titles are perfect.
IL. But be patient. In a few
more weeks the matter IS
Strengthened out and your loan
of $400 on your $4,000 improve
ments- this is the limit you can
get-are approved. You are to
get loan of $3,400.
13. But you understand you
don't get the $3,400 in cash. No,
you are required to subscribe 5
per cent of it for stock in the
Farm Bank. So you only get
in cash $3,230.
IA. You understand, that this
$170 in stock in the bank may
or may not draw interest-that
all depends on whether the stock
earns anything.
Is. You also understand, that
this $170 in stock has "dou-
BILE liability" just like other
bank stock. If your neighbors
fail you may have to lose the
$17O more. But cheer up, the
probability is that won't hap
pen.
16. AS to the rate of interest,
there is nothing in the law to-
show that it is to be below 81
per cent. There is no assur-
ance that it will be below that.
II. No, you cannot put a sec
ond mortgage on the farm, and
you cannot sell it unless the
Farm Loan Board grants spec
ial permission to you to do it..
18. You must pay off the loan
in regular installments, and can
not make any payments before
five years.

While the meeting is in the Farmers

this section of Idaho and then turn
to the farms to stop all harvesting OPP

Of the unusual condition to boost

failure and this is having its effect
1t used to be that statesmen would
come out from the east in February
and sell us our ready-towear gar

me any longer. How can they tell in
February what the styles are to be in
October? And as for prices I am will
ing to take chances right in the cen
