ment of Agriculture.)
One of the greatest needs of farm
ers in the United States is short-time
personal credit on reasonable terms.
The federal loan banks are taking good
care of the land-mortgage require
nents in many cases, but they are not
always available for new settlers and
for farmers or planters who need per-
sonal loans to buy live stock, imple-
ments, or other equipment. The need
for short-time personal credit is shown
as result of an investigation by the
United States department of agricul-
ture in the Southern states, where it
was found 60 per cent of the farmers
depend upon advances from merchants
during the crop-producing season.
Credit extended by merchants, COM
monty known as the advancing system,
is usually exceedingly high. 1t is esti-
mated by the department that hum
dreds of millions of dollars would be
saved by the farmers each year if the
means already adopted in number of
communities We're put into general use
The means referred to is that of prop
erly organized rural credit unions.
State Laws Help Credit Unions.
In nine states laws have been enact
ed under which farmers as well as
wage earners in cities may organize
credit unions. These laws, in SO far
as they affect rural credit, enable the
farmers who are members to obtain
loans on terms which compare favor
ably with those secured by the city
business men. The movement of SUP
plus funds of the individual farmers
has in general been toward the city,
but rural credit unions encourage the
retention of money made on the farm
where it is most needed In addition
ii tends to turn the current of urban
capital toward rural districts, as out
side credit is secured through regular
credit channels-the banks.
1t is impossible to formulate meth
aod of procedure in the organization Oh
credit unions that will apply 10 each
of the states, but the plan followed in
North Carolina, where Is strictly
farmers organizations are now in op'
Grafton. should be of interest. In NORTH

Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
BILE and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney
liver and bladder medicine, will do fol
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and

Carolina branch of the state govern
ment, known as the Division of Mar
kets, has been charged with the work
of encouraging the organization of
credit unions among the farmers, and
a special official, known as Superinten-
dent of Credit Unions, gives practical
assistance in their organization and
supervision of their activities.
North Carolina Plan.
In North Carolina II or more per-
sons in the community may organize a
credit union, the first step being to
sign an application for assistance,
which is addressed to the Superinten-
dent of Credit Unions of the State. Un-
der his direction a meeting is called
for the purpose of arousing further in
terest and spreading information con-
corning the plans and purposes OF the
proposed organization. If the COM
munity is sufficiently interested, sec
ond meeting is called, and an organiza-
ton committee appointed. This COM
mittee is furnished with suggested
set of bylaws by the superintendent

HOUSTON IN FAVOR
OF CREDIT UNIONS

'sThere should be provided a
system of personal-credit unions,
especially for the benefit of in
dividuals whose financial cir
cumstances and scale of opera
tions make it difficult for them
to secure accommodations
through the ordinary channels.
Organized commercial banks
make short-term loans of great
aggregate volume to the farmers
of the nation possessing the
requisite individual credit, but
there are many farmers who, be-
cause of their circumstances,
are prevented from securing the
accommodations they need.
The men I have especial
ly in mind are those whose oper-
ations are on a small scale and
who are not in most cases init
mately in touch with banking
machinery, who know too little
about financial operations, and
whose cases usually do not re-
ceive the affirmative attention
and sympathy of the banker.
Such farmers would be much
benefited by membership in Co
operative credit associations or
unions."-David f. Houston,
Secretary of Agriculture.

A SUMMER COLD

A cold in the summer time, as every
body knows, is the hardest kind of
cold to get rid of. The best and quick
est way is to go 10 bed and stay there
if you can, with q bottle of "Boschee's
Syrup" handy to insure good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy ex-
pectoration in the morning.
But If you can't stay in bed you must
keep out of draughts, avoid sudden
changes, eat sparingiy of simple food
end take occasional doses of Boschee's
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, safe and Elf
Gent remedy, made in America for more
than fifty years. Keep it handy.-Adv.

which it decides to recommend either
in their entirety or with such amend
ments as local conditions appear to re-
quire. At this meeting also five per-
sons are selected to act as board of
directors. A credit committee and
supervisory committee each composed
of three members, are also named. At
the third meeting the bylaws recon-
mended by the organization committee
are adopted by the entire organization
with or without amendments. Neces-
sary books and business forms are al
so provided for at this time.
Two copies of the bylaws and an or
ganization certificate are acknowledge
ed before notary public and approx
ed by the superintendent of credit I'M
! ions. One copy of each of these doc
uments is filed in the state division of
markets, and duplicate copy is sent
| for filing with the clerk of the county
superior court. The work of incorpor-
alton is then complete, the cost being
limited to the notary fees and So for
| the recording and filing Of the papers
The members of the board of directors
and the committees are then sworn in
and a bond is provided for the treas
urer.
Establishing Banking Connections.
The board of directors appoints a
bank committee to select some local
banking institution through which the
union does its business. TIE credit
union is accorded treatment similar IN
that which one bank gives another. As
a rule it receives 4 per cent interest
upon time deposits and 3 par cent on
monthly balances, while iE borrows
from the bank at per cent interest.
The business of the organization is
formally begun at a fourth meeting at
which time each member buys one OF
more shares of stock at $40 a share
and deposits with the union any idle
leash that can be spared The union
also accepts deposits frgm nonnem
bers. Its operations are similar to 9
small-seaIe bank, but it is able to oper.
ate at a minimum of expense since
most of the overhead expenses of a
regular bank are eliminated. The off
GERS, with the exception of the treas
urer, receive no compensation. The
] treasurer, who is required to devote
three or four hours a week to the bus
mess of the organization. usually re
ceives a salary of about $50 a year
The credit union thus becomes primar
lily mutual society of borrowers and
depositors operating under state law
