LOANS TO FARMERS.

The farmers who have secured.
loans from the federal loan bank
wear smile when pay day comes
around now. There's reason.
They have tue best farm loan for
long term and low interest that
j ayallabie for anybody now. For.
the payment of Old debts against
the form, the hest and safest way
out is to get a federal iarm loan.
You can get as much as thirty
five years 10 repay, and the III
terest is only five and one-half
percent. The annual payments
to repay principal and interest in
thirty-flye years amount to only
S6. so per hundred on the loan.
This would mean only $26 for the
loan and $65 for $1,000 loan. Ii
desired the whole loan can be re
paid IN short period of years
alter it begins 10 run. This loan
is not offered by any other con-
cern. The rate Of interest OF the
ordinary bank loan IS SO per hun
dred. The annual pay ment, IN
Guiding interest aud part OF the
principal on the federal farm
loan, as above stathd, is just $6 80
per hunnred. This Is $l.50 un-
der the bank interest rate per
hundred and would amount TO
SIS per thousand annually less
than bank interest alone, and
this bauk payment OF So a hun
dred leaves the principal unpaid.
There are many other Ndvanta-
ges of farm loan. Farmers should
investigate 1t. 1t is for them
only. -L.xing ton Advertiser.

GERMANY DECLINES: WHAT FOLLOWS

Herr Scheidemann, late imperial chancellor,
now premier, of the German government, an
nounces that peace conditions laid down are not
such a. Germany can accept. His declaration
was received with burst Of enthusiasm that
must have recalled to the Older members of the
assembly the scene in the Reichstag in 1914
when Won Bethmann-H ollweg announced that
war had been declared The Indifference, how
ever, will suggest itself to the most deluded of
the present enthusiasts.
Passive resistance is 4 doctrine little under
stood in this country. Americans have no
sympathy with it. Those who practice it de-
clare, I'VE will do what we like; if you try to
coerce US, we will neither resist or submit"
This presents = new problem to the world.
A people that ruthlessly enforced its own de-
crees against weaker ones declines to accept
terms laid down for it by council of great ma
tons. These terms will be enforced in some
fashion. Just how is not plain, but way will
be found to bring Germany to realize the pre-
dicament in which it has been placed through
its own misdeeds. One thing the Germans may
rely on is that the nations of the world will have
no conjunction in applying the Pauline
doctrine: unless 4 man work, neither shall he
eat"
Germany may neither submit tqnterms nor
fight to oppose them. That is optional with the
Germans. But the Allies will not be compelled
to feed them.
