Cattle loan companies have been cali
ed upon for greater sums than at any
time in recent years. The need for un.
limited finances in the cattle industry
never has been so great, officials said.
While the immense investment indi-
Gated naturally has caused a drain on
local financial institutions it is believ-
ed here that the unanimous support
which the farmers, as class, have Civ
EN- the liberty loans, has held down the
supply of call money. This view by the
treasury officials tended to encourage
them to leave no stone unturned in
aiding the nations meat producing re-
gions.
Regulations which the treasury will
demand be enforced in the actual loans
follow closely the rules applied by cat
tie loan companies. No better security
than has usually been asked will be re-
quired, however.

able to carry on loans to cattle pro-
dueers.
Drought in sections of the middle
west has affected the cattle industry
vitally. The treasury department s act
ion is expected to materially relieve
this situation, which threatens daily
to become more serious.
Officials said the advances made by
the war finance corporation to federal
reserve banks were on condition that
the aid to the farmers. which is being
extended by the federal reserve banks,
should not be limited to members of
the federal reserve systm.
Funds for loans on cattle, therefore
may be provided for any bank carrying
either state or national charter, or
other financial institutions.
The governments appeal for increas-
ed production has met with astonishing
results especially in the section to
which the new treasury order applies.

HIS MORAL TRAINING.
Regardless Of the opinion of dot
llg mother many boys grow up
solf-centered, lazy, blgoted, and
without high moral standards.
Military discipline will correct
these faults soon. Any boy will be
less self-centered when re is only
one OF whole regiment; less con.
cnited when he learns that he must
obey and that his laziness will be.
cured quickly by the drill sergeant.

No religious denomination is civ,

workers have a common ground on
which to meet. They all work for
higher life and moral upbuilding
AS a consequence of this liberal
policy the "Y" huts are filled with
