such as schools, churches, roads, etc.,
and the moral standing of the appli-
cant is before the committee. No
loan will be made where the appli-
cant's moral standing is not good,
although the security offered is
ample.
This means that all applications to
this bank for loans arc not necossar-
lily granted; many arc reduced or re-
fused entirely. Were it otherwise
the system could not have attained
the solidity it has and it's bonds
would not be as desirable as they are
at the present time.
The extent to which the farmers
of the Fourth district are availing
themselves of the benefits of tho sys-
tenn is shown by the report just made
by the bank to the federal farm loan
board at Washington, D. G.
For the year ending Dec. 81, 1918,
applications were received to the
number of 1902, amounting to $10,-
O37,795. During this time we have
closed the loans of S,154 farmers,
paying them $S,007, 800. Since the
organization of the bank we have
closed 4,12S loans, amounting to
$10,330,70O. In the month of De-
cember applications were made ag-
gregating $1,Ss9,30o and loans were
actually closed and the money de-
livered to the applicants amounting
to $660,900.
This gives ono fair idea of the
extent to which the Federal Land
Bank of Louisville ie serving the
farmers of this district. During 1918
we collected more than 4,800 semi
annual amortization payments, ag-
gregating over 100000. This rep
resents the money paid back to the
bank by the borrowers, who are
gradually retiring the principal as
well as the interest byut these amorti-
cation payments.
In our monthly reports to the
Treasury Department at Washington
we have been able to report for the
past six monts not a single delin-
quent payment. At this time all in
terest and amortization due this bank
has been paid. We consider this the
best evidence that our loans have
ample security.
While these matters arc of first i'm
portance to the farmers, yet bankers,
business men and citizens in general
are interested in the operation of the
federal farm loan system, because it
means prosperity not alone for the
ones borrowing the money, but for
the communities in which the bor-
rover lives.
While only farmers can borrow,
the money they obtain is almost in
variably put back into the regular
channels of trade thru the purchase
of materials or implements for farm
improvement, paying off old mort
cages or taking up old notes, SO that
the banker, the store proprietor and
many others profit by the new sys-
tenn, which is conceded to be one of
the most beneficial acts ever enacted
in the interest of agriculture.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

Edward A. Filene, owner of a great
department store in Boston, last week
delivered an address before the Ad-
vertising Club of St. Louis and was
loudly applauded. A year ago had he
delivered the same speech he would
have been scowled upon as hair
Drained radical. So much has the war
opened our eyes already.

those who rule by brutality" said FL
lcnc in discussing relations between
employer and employee. You may
cali this dangerous radicalism, but
tell YOU it is the truth. There are
signs all over Europe-not only in
Russia and Germany-and the danger
is at our door. Don't wait until 1t is
too late. THE WAY TO PREVENT
BOLSHEVISM is BY TREATING
YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF"
Mr.. Filcnc is beginning to see the
light. that is all. He still has long
way to go before he will arrive at the
true solution of the unrest. He still
has the old-fashioned Big-Business
idea thar labor is like peevish child,
to be soothed by pats on the back and
gifts of candy and cake. Hear what
he says:
"Then we come to the question Of
our. Our neighbor is not the man
whose house and lot adjoins our own.
Our real neighbors are those with
whom we spend our working wakeful
hours. Those men and women who
work under our roofs are our neigh
bors. We must see that they get the
most out of life that they may.
eve must see that we send them out
of Our stores at night as sound in
body and mind as they came in that
morning. We must not let them de-
tcriorate by serving us. Then we
must see that the city gives them
back to US as good the next morning
| as we sent them out the night before.
That means that they must not have
to stand up in street. cars on their way

do. A salary is high or low in pro-

erty Loan measure and sent it to the
Senate. 1t is expected that the loan
bill will be voted on tomorrow by the
Senate Finance Committee. The
House took up the sundry civil meas
ure and worked on it until late in the
night, but the Senate adjourned at
z O'Clock because members of the
Foreign Relations Committee were to
confer with the President at the
White House and because the Repub-
licans insisted quoru mshould be
present.
| Sharp tilts occurred between Demo-
cratic and Republican Senators over
the Presidents insistence that legisla-
ton be cleaned up. Senators Hitch
cock and Overman of North Carolina,
Democrats, urged speedy action on the
calendar, while Senator Kellogg of
Minnesota, Republican, sharply dis
claimed the suggestion, made from
administration sources, that Republi-
cans could be charged with RESPONSE
bility for delays. Senator Thomas of
Colorado, Democrat, declared both
parties were to blame and said that an
extra session must be held
An official denial was made today
of reports that the President desired
a vote of approval for the principle of
a League of Nations. 1t was pointed
out that the league was to be consti-
tuted part of the peace treaty, which
would come up for ratification at the
next session.
The President was said to be anx-
ious to make another public address
before returning to Europe, but was
not certain that he would have the
time. AS his stay is limited by plans
already made for him to sail March
5, he probably will not make deci-
sion as to a speech until the legisla-
tive situation clears and he can esti-
mate the time available to him.
Keeps Up Hard Pace
President Wilson continued today
the hard pace he set for himself yes
terday. He was at his desk early and
had before him great mass of bust
ness. White House attaches said that
after his conference last night on the
legislation situation with Senator
Martin and Senator Simmons, he saw
Senator Bankhead in regard to the wa
tcrpower bill, which he is anxious to
have passed at this session, and then
continued working in his own room
until nearly midnight.

executive Offices continued today.

PRESIDENT TO CONFER !
WITH PARTY LEADERS
Wilson Insists All Big Measures Be
Disposed Of Before End Of
Present Session.
Present Session.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-Al'
though marked progress in disposine
of legislation was made today by
Congress after announcement that
President Wilson would not call ar
extra session until after his return
FROM Europe, administration leaders
tonight were extremely doubtful that
ell the necessary appropriation bills
couia be enacted before adjournment
Tuesday.
There was considerable tension ov-
CT the legislative situation at the Cap
ital afr it became known that the
President was insistent that all nee
cssary legislation be disposed of at
this session. On the Senate floor and
in private conversation, Democratic
and Republican Senators charge each
other for responsibility for delay on
important measures.
President Wilson had planned to go
to the Capitol this afternoon to con-
fer with Democratic leaders in an eff
fort to accelerate the work of Con-
gross, but a prolonged meeting of
his "war Cabinet" precented. He
probably will carry out this program
tomorrow before marching at TIE head
Of the parade in honor of District of
Columbia troops.
Martin Urges Speed
Democratic Leader Martin today
urged greater speed upon committee
chailmcn. He asked Democratic Sen
ators to defer prolonged speeches and
requested Senator Owen of Oklahoma
and Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
to abandon proposed speeches on the
constitution of the League of Ma
tions. Senator Owen spoke late in
the day.
In the speeding up today the SEN
ate Naval Committee reported out the
1921 100000 naval appropriation bill,
with its authorization for a new three
year building program, but because
of opposition to some features in the
mcc ure leaders oubt if it can be en-
acted at this session. They also doubt
that the pending army appropriation
bill, carrying $1,215,00O,000, and the
$3.50, 900, 900 sundry civil appropriation
measure, can be passed.
Measures finally completed today
were the $9s,0OO,0OO legislative, cx-
ecutive and judicial bill and the $780,
10000 rivers and harbors bill.
Diplomatic Measure Passes
In the Senate the 100000 diplo-
matte and consular measure and the

ccuSc of that?
The worker is entitled to more than
a mere living. He is entitled to a
share of the products of his labor
and his ingenuity. Mr.. Filcne would
give him parks and libraries. Labor
doesn't want capital to give it any
thing fol nothing--it wants what it
is entitled to, no more and no less.
Mr.. Filene is on he right track, but
so far he has not ventured beyond the

New Era of Greater Humanity. He
is preaching kindness. We have hopes
