BULLETIN

To the County Chairmen of the
Council of Defense;
Sirs:
The following self-explanatory
telegram was received today
from Mr.. D. R. McLennan, chief
of the Non War Construction
Section of the War Industries
Board, Washington, D. C.
''In view of the favorable
replies to our telegram of
the eighteenth received from
practically all of the State
Councils of Defense, the
War Industries Board re-
moves, effective November
twelfth, all restrictions now
in force on construction pro-
jects of all kinds. This in
formation will be released
to the press for publication
Fr;Iav r-,ornir~, the 22nd,
and we suggest the advisa- !.
bility of your giving this
wide publicity throughout
your state so that the pub
lie may quickly get this in
formation"
The removal of all restrictions
on construction projects of ev-
cry kind makes it unnecessary
to continue the making of ap-
plications for building permits
to the Council of Defense. You
will give this bulletin the widest
publicity possible in your coun-
ty in order that everyone might
know that building operations
can continue unrestricted.
Yours very truly,
John A. Brown,
Executive Secretary.
The Bottineau courant., 1918-11-28

rural districts know that they
make only a pretense of serving
the full banking needs of the
farmer. They know that the
farmer is not given the credit fa-
cilities open to the business man
Of the cities. They know that
many members of their frater-
nifty are using their position to
jockey farmers into a hole where
they can foreclose and get pro-
perty for a fraction of it's value.
The Manitoba system gives the
farmer credit facilities nearly
equal to that of the city man and
it abolishes the foreclosure as a
bankers road to wealth. Also
when such a system is started
the money lenders mend their
ways.
All that the associated farm
ers of Manitoba have to do to
save a member from the fore
closure shark is to advance him
the money he needs to get away
from the sharks teeth. This
does not mean, of course, that
every farmer will be saved from
foreclosure because some farm
ers will naturally fail and have
to wind up their affairs. What it
kills is the artificial foreclosure
forced by the unscrupulous mon
ey lender who has the farmer in
a tight place.
Foreclosure on Land Profitable.
City men generally fail to ap-
preciate the foreclosure evil in
the county because they do not
realize the marked difference be-
tween the property of the city
business man and that of the
farmer. The city man rents a
place of business and brings in
what he needs to do business,
but most of the value of the bus
mess is in good will and manage
ment ability. Hence the banks
can almost never afford to fore
close on him. They keep him
going as long as there is any
chance of his pulling through.
The farmers property, on the
other hand, is nearly all land
which is going to increase in
value no matter what happens.
Consequently the more artificial
the foreclosure, the more money
the banker can make.
The way to end this and other
abuses Of rural banking is to
provide a state system of rural
credit banks operated at cost.
Manitoba has given us one easy
method of doing it. It has shown
America how to make the banks
for the farmers. We have had
enough of farmers for the bank
erS.
The Bottineau courant., 1918-11-28
Methods of Operation


In the Manitoba system the
farmers of a certain locality ere
organized into an association.
The members Of this body then
subscribe to association stock
and pay in about 10 per cent of
the subscription in cash. Then
the local government and the
provincial government each sub
scribe an amount equal to what
TIE farmers have s-bsc7'i'o1.
Thus, if the farmers have sub
scribed $4,000, the total will be
$4,000. This paper is then tax
en- to a bank and used as a basis
for borrowing money.
7 In the past year the associa-
tion has gotten bank money for
6 per cent and it has loaned it
out at cost, or Z per cent. When
they can find a cheaper source Of
money, the rate to the farmers
will go down. There is, Of course
a cheaper way to get the money
and the Manitoba farmers may
force the government to use it
in the near future. The associ-
ations could easily receive de-
posits from farmers and towns
people at A to 5 per cent interest,
or the provincial government
could open a system of postal
savings banks that would give
the depositors a fair return.
Prevents Abuses by Money
Lenders.
Operation at cost, however, is
only a part Of the story. More
important, perhaps, is the fat
that the farmers themselves
pass on the lending Of the money
rather than q man or q company
representing 4 more or - hos

CREDIT BANKS
IN MANITOBA
SHOWS LEAGUE FARMERS
ARE ON THE RIGHT
TRACK.

Bankers who profess to be un-
able to understand what the
League farmers mean by "a
state system of rural credit bank
operated at cost" could improve
their minds on the subject by
studying the system introduced
by the province of Manitoba,
just across the Canadian border.
Inasmuch as this border is just
an imaginary line created for the
purposes of government, the
farmers here are evidently not
unreasonable in thinking that
what helps the farmer there
would be of value here.
The Manitoba system of rural
credits operated at cost was
started in 1917 and the report of
the first year of operations is
just ealt. Manitoba is a new
county, of course, with widely
scattered farms, and it has reg
ular banks that have been doing
business as usual such as we
have. Also the new system has
not had time to reach more than
a part of the farming district.
But in the year just past the new
system has loaned a total of
$201, ,934.9O. The farmers who
got this money to carry on their
operations would not have got
ten it otherwise. Here are the
purposes for which the money
was used:

H. C. Whitehill, Advt. Mgr,
War Savings Committee,
Waterbury, Vt.
Dear Mr.. Whitehill:
Now that the War Savings drive
is practically over, wish to express
through you my hearty appreciation
of what has been done by the edi-
tors and publishers of the State in
supplying the publicity which has
been one of the main factors in Sc
curing pledges for the purchase of
stamps. | do not believe there is
any other State where the Director
has had the fine cooperation of the
wspapers which has been given
t. this movement in Vermont, and
there is no doubt that large share
of the success of the campaign in
Vermont is due to that fact.
/ hope some of the newspaper
men have made a little profit out
of the recent advertising, for
the newspapers have been contrib
uting constantly SO much space and
service to patriotic affairs, for
which they have received no COM
pensation whatever, that any incon-
siderable amount which they may
have received in this drive will be
very slight return for the service
they have done.
So far as am able from time to
time, | am trying to make the public
appreciate somewhat the burdens
that have been thrown upon the
newspapers and the patriotic
manner in which they have been
carrying them since our entrance
into the war.
Very truly yours,
Fred A. Rowland,

Inactive Kidneys .r
}. Cause Disease

! shall not soon forget the benefits derived
from the use Of Foley Kidney Pills. Al. A.
Godfrey, Forest Grove. Oregon.
Too much work and too little work
seem to have about the same effect
on persons past middle age. Proper
action of the kidneys is necessary to
good health. They act as a filter
and remove from the blood poisonous
waste matter which if permitted to
remain in the system leads to many
complications.
Many nervous, tired, run down men
and women suffer from pains in the
back and sides, dizzy spells, bladder
weakness, sore muscles and stiff
Joints and fail to realize tn at rheuma-
tism, diabetes or even Brights dis
base may result.
If you have cause to believe that
your kidneys are weak, dsordered or
inactive you should act Immediately.
Foley Kidney Pills have been used
by young, middle aged and old with
complete satisfaction. They act quick
" and surely and have given relief
- cases of ten years standing.
