nected with the development OF agri
culture. On the average of every
500 borrowed, $3S was used for thes'
purposes and $62 for the retirement
of old mortgages. A study of these
figures is very interesting.
"The smallest average proportion
used in any district to retire old
mortgages was in the Wichita lis
trict, 5S per cent The Omaha dis
trlct was next with IA. The highest
was in the extreme eastern and west
ern districts. Springfield, Mass, and
Berkley, Cal, the proportion being GS
per cent
"In view of the fact, however, that
during a part Of the period of the
war such great loaning agencies as
the life insurance companies were
entirely out of the farm mortgage
field, the question naturally arises as
to whether anything better can be
done for the farmer when ne Is
obliged to pay a high rate OF interest
and a high commission than to give
him an opportunity to refund an old
mortgage. Nothing has eased mat
tors up more effectively for Tie farm
er during the past two years of high
interest rate htan his ability to bor-
row money at reasonable rate of in
terest through the federal loan banks
for the purpose Of retiring old mort
cages. This question has arisen and
it is gratifying to have il completely
answered by the figures of the fed
eral farm loan bureau.
Farmers Get Low Rate.
"The farmers have borrowed
great deal Of money to retire their
old mortgages, but they have also
borrowed an immense amount which
has gone into the channels of trade
for the development of their farms.

cages, and denies that Secretary OF
the Treasury Glass admitted this
while a member Of congress.
"As a matter of fact" said Mr..
Quick, nobody has been in posi-
tion until recently to make anything
more than an estimate on this mat
ter, and the estimates of Representa-
tive McFadden Of Pennsylvania, who
is seeking to remove the tax exemp-
tion from the bonds, and Secretary
Glass were as good as anybody else's.
Recently the federal farm loan board
had the proportion Of money borrow
ed applied on old mortgages figured
out from the books and the result Is
very interesting.
In the Springfield, Mass, district,
the amount applied on old mortgages
is 68 per cent of the amount Dor
rowed. For the other districts the
figures are: Baltimore, 50 per cent;
Columbia, s. G., district, Ga; Louis

"These computations cover loans to

NAVAL COLONY
MAY ESTABLISH
In THIS CITY
PENSACOLA COULD BECOME THE
PERMANENT BASE FOR ALL OF
THE DESTRoYERS IN THE At
LANTIC FLEET.
fBY LUCKY BALDWIN,

A wonderful opportunity awaits
Pensa cola. An opportunity to serve
the nation, the state and the city. An
opportunity to serve the navy and the
men of the navy. Pensacola can be-
come the permanent home of the entire
destroyer force of the Atlantic fleet.
The officers and men of the flotillas
want a home. They want a port where
they can be with their families, get
acquainted with their children and
make friends with their neibhbors.
There is, at present. no definite sys-
tenn OF home ports for the destroyers.
They run from Eastport, Maine. to the
Rio Grande, and never know what
port will be their home. The officers
and men, particularly the chief petty
officers, are unable to be with their
families except when they are FORUM
ate enough to obtain leave of absence.
If the boats are ordered to sea the
men are never certain they viii return
TO tn port from which they sailed.
They don't know whether or not to tell
their families to move or to stay.
They can never can never settle down.
A great majority of naval men come
from inland cities. If a ship is based
on New York, for example, and a man
rents a flat and has his wife join him
he can be at home nearly every night
SO long as the ship is at New York.

The quartermaster general of the

the mails, usually congested during
the Christmas season, or the additional
burden entailed by transportation of
the stocks sold by the army stores on
mail order.
Persons contemplating making pur-
chases in retail stores which must be

But when the ship is ordered away
there is no assurance whatever that
it will ever return to New York at all.
1t may be ordered to Boston or to
Charleston. The result is that few
navy men are ever joined by their
families. They leave their wives in
the inland cities and see them only
when on furlough, perhaps once a
year.
The greatest single drawback to
navy life is the lack of home ties. 1t
is even more potent than the small
ness of the pay check in taking men
away from the navy.
But it is a condition that need not
exist. Both England and France have
overcome it to great extent. And
this is how
At several seaport towns, naval col
on1es have been established where
the boats always base. l speak par
tlcularly of the destroyers, although
the same plan has been carried out
with the battleships. At these bases
there are torpedo ranges, athletic

These ports are real "home-ports. f"
The boats always return to them. The
colonies are apart from the civilian
towns and yet part of them. The cot

them and have real home-life
The problem is one that is vital to
the country. There is no particular
value in sending destroyers to Maine
one month and to Texas the next.
Cruisers for training should be made
in all waters in which hOStilitieS
might develop, of course, but when the
