NATIONAL
FARM LOAN ASSN

The first organization meeting oil
the local farm loan men was success.
fully carried off Monday afternoon
at the Court House under the lead
ership Of. w. G.. ,Sollenberger and
James Pendleberry. Some 40 inter
ested farmers came to the meeting,
and asked questions that showed not
only lively study of the subject but
a good deal Of speculation as to its
actual working out. There are many
vague points in connection with this
farm loan proposition, but the men
of Bingham seemed to feel that the
try-out is the only proof of such a
pudding.
The meeting opened about $50
and after an hours discussion IA
men walked up and subscribed for
total Of over 10000 shares of stock
in the local association, each paying
5 per cent for stock of the amount
he wishes to borrow later. These
IA men are the charter members OF
the association. They are e. M.
Gregg, ]. H. Hale, James Pendleber-
ry, c. A. Thomson, A. w. Hale, F.
]. Savage, W. c.. Sollenberger, Ward
Sollenberger, Thomas Barnard, J. T.
Jones, W. G.. Short, Edgar D. Hale,
A. c. Hale and e. M. Snider.
They did not make application 10
the District Land Bank at Spokane,
but left the singing until next meet
ing.
These members then held meet
ing by themselves and agreed to
name the organization the Black |
foot National Farm Loan assonia- |
tion," and that its territory should |
include the precincts of Blackfoot,l
Groveland, Rose and Wapello.
They chose nine men for board |
Of directors: = W. G. Sollenberger, c..
A. Thomson, J. H. Hale, E. M. Snider

NJ. Gregg, A. w. Hale, Ward Sollen-

er, president; Charles Thomson, vice
president; E. M. Gregg, secretary
treasurer; and board of three ap-
'raisers: J. H. Hale, w. G. Sollen-
berger and Charles Thomson. The
ecretary-treasurer transacts all busi-
less of the association. He is the
manager. The appraisers must pass
lpon the competency of every piece

BLACKFIOT MAN SUGGESTS

G. s. Beebe, the insurance man,
suggests way to endow the Black
foot library so that after a period
of 10 years or so, it could have quite
a sum of money to establish itself
in good quarters or for use in any
way its management chooses.
The plan is to have larger num-
Der of the patriotic library support
ers of the town and county take 10
year endowment policies payable to
the library fund. II they all lived
thru the 10 years it would be for
tunate indeed for them, and If a
number of them passed on, the lib
rary would have the insurance
money in the treasury.

There follows an example shown,
4 the actual procedure of securing ,
federal farm loan, taken from tn,
/ article, Facts About Farm Loans
by f. H. Higgins, in Successful
Farming date of March, 1917:
Example
1. Farmer Brown. Brownsville
Some State, meets Neighbor Jones in
town and they discuss their cash
needs and the Farm Loan Act as a
means of getting cheap credit. They
fdecide to call up the neighbors and
learn If there are eight more in their
neighborhood in need of credit who
are the right kind to make good on
a loan.
2. An informal meeting at the
school house results.
e 3. Ten of them decide to form a
national farm loan association.
e 4. They elect nine directors, a
president, vice president, loan COM
Ihittee of three, and secretary
treasurer; all prospective borrowers
except the last, who need not even
he q resident of the district.
5. Brown and neighbors then sign
the articles of association, make out
their applications for loans on sep
arate blanks and turn them over to
their secretary-treasurer, each put
ting up per cent of the amount
of the loan for the purchase of stock.
Brown hasn't the SIS for this, so
he adds 1t to the loan, to be taken
out by the Federal Land Bank.
6. The District Land Bank next
passes on the papers, and forwards
them to the Federal Farm Loan
board at Washington, D. c.
T. Everything satisfactory, the |
board j grants a charter to the |
(or whatever; Browns |
group decided to call their Organi-
.ation) National Farm Loan associa-
.ion.'
8. The loan committee of Browns

lis farm land and buildings on its
productive ability, decide that so PER
;ent of the land and 20 per cent of
he building values more than cover
he loan asked, and report unani-
nously for the loan.
8. The secretary-treasurer takes
his report and has it sworn to be-
ore a notary public.
10. The secretary-treasurer then
orwards the report to the District
'ederal Land Bank. T.

VISIONS OF WAR
ARE MISSING AS
RING IS BEGUN
Carmen Heard, with Farrar,
Caruso and Case and De
Lucca. Newcomers

The annual opening Of the Ring
series at the Metropolitan Opera House
yesterday afternoon was undisturbed
By visions of war and submarines.
Though conflict with Germany be inn
minent, the New York public's attitude
toward Wsgnerian music drama re-
mains unchanged. and yesterdays su.
dienee was one Of capacity proportions.
The cast was nearly identical swith
that Of the preceding evening perform
snce, the only difference being thas
Nine. Mstzcnsuer sang Frieka, and
Nine. Ober, Erda. First honors went
20 the Loge OF Mr.. Sembaeh, the Al
berich OF Mr.. GoritE. the Mime Of Mr..
Reiss, and the tricka OF Nine. Mstzeu-
suer. while Mr.. Braun and Mr.. Rugs
dael were two delectable giants.
Mr.. Bodanzky IS a conductor who Is
al his best when not called upon 20
depict passage Of high emotional stress,
and his reading of the Rheingold score
WAS fluent and poetic. The scenic ef-
fects moved smoothly IN their old-fsSh-
Toned manner. Save In the Rhine
depths there was no atmosphere and
no illusion, but that is what We now
a-dsys only too often must expect az
the Metropolitan.
I'm the evening Carmen with Miss
Farrar and Mr.. Caruso IN the chief
parts, drew forth another huge audi
ence. in the cast we're two singers
new 20 their respective r6les-Mlss
Anna Case and Giuseppe De Luca.
Miss Case. though a member Of tho
company, had not appeared In opera
in New York for the last two years,
and so her debut as Micaela became
doubly interesting. She showed last
night that during the period she has
gained somewhat in authority and
ease of manner, and her voice has
strengthened. Some OF the music she
sang last night with exquisite style
and tone, while az other times her ex-
IRENE nervousness caused departures
from the pitch and breaks in the
phrasing. She was IN appearance and
action gracious figure, and with
greater assurance ought 10 make an
altogether satisfactory appearance in
the part.
Mr.. De Luca was an admirable Esca-
milo, singing the difficult music more
effectively than 10 has been heard
here for several seasons. Mr.. Csruso
and Miss Farrsr we're in good voice,
and Mr.. Polacco gave well articu-
lated reading Of the score.
