FEDERALFARM LOAN
PROVIDES SECURITY
Operation of Act Divided Into
Assembling and Lending
of Money.
BY FRANK n. WILSON.

As explained before in these
articles, the operations of the farm
loan act are divided into two main
classes-a money assembling agency
and a money lending agency.
The Government puts the first nest
egg into the farm loan plan by buy
ing the original capital stock of the
twelve Federal land banks IL neces-
, sary. When this has been loaned
and farm mortgages taken in return
for the money loaned, the Federal
land banks may issue bonds against
these mortgages.
These bonds will be among the most
attractive securities ever offered 10
American investors. As explained be-
fore, farmers arc permitted to bor-
row only up to 80 per cent OF The
value of their land. This means that
every dollars worth of bonds issued
represents 81 worth of land as Sc
curity.
The fact that each Federal land
bank guarantees the bonds OF all the
other banks also puts behind these
bonds as security the $9,0OO,OOO of
iginal capital stock of the banks and
their required surplus earnings, plus
the required annual deduction of the
mortgage loan.
Besides this, the security constant
ly increases proportionately by rea-
son OF the constantly increasing capi-
tai contributed by the Farm Loan As
ISOLATION.
So the investment end of the farm
loan act is fully as important as
the money-lending end. because II
creates for the benefit of small and
large investors a security backed by
pooled first mortgages op farm lands,
the proceeds being used to increase

the productive power, and. enhance
the value of these mortgage lands.
Congress Went Limit.
Since the rate of interest to the
farmer depends upon the rate OF in
terest at which these bonds will sell.
Congress went the limit to make
these bonds attractive so they would
sell at a low interest rate. The bonds
are exempt from all form OF taxa
tion. The Government will not even
collect any income tax upon them.
No State or municipality mag tax
them for any purpose.
In order to make these bonds ap-
peal to investors of all classes they
are issued in denominations OF from
S25 to $1,000
In order to protect them against
counterfeiting they are issued by the
United States Government Bureau 9f
Engraving and Printing, and are pro
tected from counterfeiters by the
whole force of the United States
Secret Service. 4
Small Investor Barred.
Heretofore It has been practically
impossible for the small investor to
buy real estate securities. A man or
woman who wanted to buy 800
worth of farm securities was not able
to find farm mortgage of just that
size.
In addition. the investor would not
buy such a mortgage without inspect
ing the security. The cost and the
bother were barriers which made IL
almost impossible for the small in
vestor to get first mortgage securi-
ties.
Hereafter IT will be possible for
any investor who wants to buy farm
securities from $25 up merely to ap-
ply for a Federal farm loan bond of
the denominations desired.
The investor will know that this
bond represents 81 worth OF land ap-
praised under Government super
vision, and that the bond was issued
under Government regulation.
The rate OF interest at which these
borpds will be issued has not yet been
determined by the Federal Farm Loan
Board. 1t is safe to predict that in
the beginning it will not be less than |
and not more than per cent
So the benefits OF the farm loan !
act are not limited to farmers who
need the use Of cheaper capital, but I
they include also those persons who |
have money to invest and are seeking |
a long time, readily marketable so |
curtty OF undoubted value.

Sugar Price
Goes to $7.O2
InN.Y.Market

For the first time in ocarly 80
years, SO degree centrifugal sugar is
selling for $7.02 per hundred pounds,
according to cable information re-
ceived by the Star-Bulletin. This
price was attained in the New York
market yesterday, with the refiners
buying heavily.
Tables in the possession Of A. M.
NOVEL;, secretary Of the Hawaiian Su-
gar Factors, show that the price OF
sugar has not reached this figure
since the high prices which reigned
for eleven years between 1873 and
1889. During this period the yearly
averages varied from Sc. 81 and 50, to
as high as $9.75 in 1889. In 1877 the
unprecedented figure of $11.12 was
reached. 1t was the high prices pre-
vailing from 1877 to 1889 which were
partly responsible for the placing Of
sugar on the free list from 1890 to
1894.
The duty on sugar in the period of
extremely high prices was $55 per
ton. The present duty is $25.12 per
ton. But In the 1877 to 1889 period
Hawaii was under the reciprocity
treaty with the United States and her
sugar. was admitted free as now. The
difference in production, however, is
great. as the Hawaii crop In 1877 was
less than 10000 tons.
The average selling price of the
Hawaii crop for last year was $5.786,
for q crop Of about 100000 tons. II
the present prices were to be main.
tanned the Hawaii planters, on an es-
timated crop Of $4,000 for this year,
would receive $15,54S,4 more for
their sugar crop than they did for the
past year.
Alexander. q Baldwin received the
following radiogram today from San
Francisco regarding the sugar situa.

"ri,e msrket Is strong ana refiners|
here are bidding 6.s6 cents a pound

and foreign refined sugars at higher

Is Year.Old Slau,
Twice Wounded In
Great War, Is Here
vioIinist Bears Decorations OF
Honor for VaIorouS Ser
vice on East Front

-WICE wounded on the Eastern
front, where he was fighting
. with the Russian troops, but
now on an indefinite leave, Paul
Iogolewitch, a 16-year old violin
list of unusual skill, arrived in
Honolulu this morning on the
Maui to give a concert here for
some war benefit. He Is accom-
panied by his manager, Richard
Klegin, who only recently return
ed from France. They expect to
be here for at least two weeks,
but are undecided where they win
go from here.
Iogolewitch was, IL years old
when he first ran away from his
home in Petrograd in 1914 and
attempted to enlist in the army.
His father followed and had him
returned. A year later he was
successful in MS attempt to reach
the trenches despite his youthful
appearance.
For his services In the Eastern
4theater Of the war he received a
medal OF valor and also the Cross
Of st. George, conferred by the
durna. Another cross he has was
presented by the : now deposed
car.
He received two wounds. In
one charge a rifle bullet pierced
his abdomen. In another siege a
shell from big : German gun
passed so close that it produced
sheil-shock, paralyzing for time
his entire right side, so that he
was unable to speak, hear, or
move his limbs. He was in a
military hospital in Petrograd
two months, and when discharged
from the service went into a pri-
vate sanitarium.
As soon as he had regained
sufficient strength to take up his
violin again he gave concerts in
the military hospitals, and for
this work he received the Inn
perial Crest from Princess Olga,
daughter Of the late Tsar.
He is graduate of the Petro-
grad Conseryatoire; where he
studied under Professor Nalban-
diani.
Ogolewitch'ss manager is Rich
ard Klegin, who was managerial
rector of the Willard-Johnson
fight at Havana, in 1915. Klegin
has managed a number of base
ball and motor polo affairs
throughout the world and has
been identified with athletic
events for a number of years.

Collector Haley has been too i'll to

Is understood he was advised against
