Sam has no more loyal or patriotic
citizens than those found in the Sixth
Federal District is abundantly prov
en- by the results of the early part OF
the race for the Liberty Loan honor
flag.
Promptly on the stroke of nine
o'clock on the morning of April 5,
there were % local committees in as
many different communities through
out the district which filed reports to
the treasury department at Washing
ton, announcing that they had re-
ceived bona fide subscriptions to
bonds in excess of their quota, and
claiming the honor of having Secre-
tary McAdoo raise their honor flag.
That these % communities, as we'll
as hundreds of others from the other
districts of the country, could not
all achieve the honor that was in
tended for one community only is
apparent The large number Of con.
testants has furnished the depart
ment at Washington with an i'm
mense problem, and no decision is
probable for some days yet.
Three of the contestants are in Ala
bama; six in Florida; five in Geor-
gia; six in Louisiana; five in Mis-
sissippi; and three in Tennessee.
Since the opening of the campaign,
the rivalry has been keen between
the various communities of the dis
trict to reach their quota and; as a
result, a large number of other COM
munities have reached or exceeded
their quotas. In fact, one of the
most remarkable features of the
campaign has been found to lie in the
fact that no community ceases work
for the sale of the bonds just because
it has raised its quota, but many
have already secured star for their
honor flag, showing that their allot
ment has been doubled.
: The following is list of the
towns and counties striving for the
national honor flag: Alabama: Monte

2,SOS Associations Formed

Before the system was put in oper-
alton it was argued that our American
farmers would not organize for CO.
operative borrowing. The answer to
this seems to be found in the fact
that up to March 81, 1918, 2,S0S ma
tional farm loan associations were in
corporated, representing about four
associations to each fire counties in
the United States. These associations
average about 20 members, represent
ing a total membership of abo1t S.
Ont farmers.
The IL Federal land banks have re-
ce.ved applications for over 100000
loans, amounting to about $3O00OO,-
COO. Many Of these applications have
been rejected, reduced, or withdrawn
About $4,000 loans have been ap
proved, amounting to over 100000,
900, and on over 10000 of these loane
money has been paid to the farmer.
to the amount Of about $SO,0O0,0OO
Many of the loans approved were fo

About $sO,OOO,OOO Loaned to Farmers
on More Than $4,000 Applications

The Treasury Department has is
sued the following:
The Federal Farm Loan System has
completed its first year of actual OPP
Grafton. The first charter issued to
a Federal land bank is dated March
l, 1917, and the charters for the IL
others were issued during that month.
Borrowing under the Federal Farm
Loan Syhtem is done through national
farm loan associations, and the first
charter granted to one of these asso-
Citations is dated March 27, 1917; so
that while most of the work of organ
izing the banks, systematizing their
business, appointing and training ap-
praisers and the like had to be done
after the end of March, 1917, it NAV
be said that the banks have just about
concluded their first year of opera
ton. A statement of the business
done during this first year is there
fore of interest.

Don't Be Antagonistic
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

one OF the greatest mistakes that
any human being can make is to
life.
There are people who pride them
selves on never being zone of the
mob as they express Il. They never
agree with anybody on any subject.
10 suggest a plan to them is 10 have
tnem combat 1t. To avow an enthu-
siasm In their presence Is to have
them rdicule 1t. To express an opin-
ION Is TO have them dissent from It.
10 introduce any topic into conversa-
tioh when they are present is as good
Tor heated argument as a nickel is
for ginger cake.
These misguided individuals think
that by talking the opposite point Of
view from that held by those with
whom they are associated they show
now extremely clever and original
they are. They like to shock people,
ana they take a fiendish delight In
trampling roughshod over the net
pre)udices and faiths of others.
They scoff at religion in the pres
ence or the deyout. They revile their
country to the patriotic. Let a for
eigner be In the company, and they
recall every unpleasant episode in tho
history Of his nation. Speak Of some
statesman You revere and they tear
his reputation to tatters. Mention
your faVorite author, and they ieer at
your taste. Tell of some great move
ment In which you are int0est ed
heart and soul, and they try 70 con-
vince. you that the whole thing is a
combination cf s~aft and politics. end
that you are a brainless idiot who Is

beneft OF some profteer
Such people. are about as agreeable
TO have about as an ice-cold, wet
blanket. They can freeze conversa-
tion to death. and put an extinguisher
upon all cheerfulness and good humor
In about three minutes. Yet they
wonder that they are not popular.
ana that no one pines for their So
ciety!
In spite Of their nattering opinion OF
their own superior mentality they have
not intelligence enough to know that
none OF us like TO have our opinions
derided, our point of view made TO
look ridiculous, and that we do not
adore the hand that tries to pull down
our heroes and idols from their pedes-
tails and lay them In the dust. Or. the
contrary. We resent the desecration of
our gods more than we would a per.
sonal insult
None of us enjoy having our fur
RUBBED the wrong way. Therefore
when we seek our friends and COM
panions and those with whom we
want to do business We do not choose
those who will ruffie our tempers and
say things that annoy US. We pick
out individuals who have a soothing
touch and with whom we can count on
getting along without argument. or
friction.

attitude toward life may be full OF
talent They may have admirable
