Here is the point: You cannot say you will only lend $2,50O and that you will make that loan to a class of farmers who only want $2,500 while at the same time here is man who wants S20,00O or S30,0OO, who is just as capa- ble of using that amount efficiently in the production of food as is the other fellow of using the S2.50O
 "Since this bill (senate bill 3109) has been pending, the statement has gone out from the joint stock land banks that all applications for loans are held up until it is known whether this bill is to pass. My neighbor, Mir. J. H. Upps, was approached by loan shark and offered loan of $10,0OO to take the place of loan that was to have been made to him by joint stock land bank The joint stock land bank would have made the loan for 33 years, but the loan shark only offered to make his loan for five years. The loan shark did, however, offer to make the loan of $lG,0GO at per cent interest
 
 for commission.
 What Will Happen in Five Years?
 ''But the question is: What will happen at the end of the five wears! When the influence of the joint stock land banks or the federal land banks has disappeared because they have been killed by this bill then what will the loan shark ask my neighbor Upps when his debt falls due? million farmers in the United States can make d mighty good guess as to what will happen. A million farmers in the United States can foreSee how the loan shark will put the screws upon MT. Upps when the time for renewal comes around.

You have got to furnish him the capital on convenient terms and al reasonable rates. You cannot ham. string the financing of the farmer and get your needed increased production.

FARMER TELLS ABOUT
 THE LOAN SHARKS
A. H. Judy Shows How Mortgage Brokers Put the Screws on
 Borrowers.

"There should be two kinds of land banks" said A. H. Judy, an Ohio farm CT, speaking before the United States senate committee on banking and cur rency in January.
 "The reason for this Is that one set of farmers do not want to take stock in any institution, but want to use whatever money they can get in their farming operations, while other farm CTS will join cooperative societies and take stock in the cooperative land banks. The joint stock land bank an- swers the need of those farmers who do not care to join cooperative SO. ciety and take stock in a bank. The federal land bank, with its co-opera- tive plan, answers the need of those farmers who have the cooperative idea.
 Some Farmers Need Big Loans.
 "When 1t can be shown that loan Is to be used by farmer residing on the land and to be used in improving the land and in increasing production of staples, the limit as to the amount of the loans should not be fixed too low. (The limit on joint stock land

County Court
Gives Road Work
One Sent to Prison. Petty
Thieves Sent to Road Camp

Judge E. C. Washington heard ten
cases in Salem Court last Friday.
Fred Davis, who plead guilty some
days previous to assault and battery
with intent to kill and also to atroci-
Gus assault and battery, was sentenced
to not more than twelve OF less than
two years on the former charge and
on the other sentence was suspended.
The Court said that he understood
that there was probably some provo
cation for a fight but there was not
the slightest need for the use of a
knife for with the latter Davis nearly
took the life of another man.
William H. Buchanan, colored, plead
guilty to the larceny of 1856 silk
shirts, several hand bags and other
articles, totaling 1885 from The Hub
store at Penns Grove, but sentence
was not imposed.
Henry Burt Ware, counsel for Peter
Kane, charged with carrying a loaded
revolver and assault and also threat
ening the life of Miss Grant, at Penns
Grove, made application for a writ of
habeas corpus OF the ground that the
papers are defective. Mr.. Ware held
that to carry a loaded revolver was
not a crime unless it is concealed and
there is nothing in the evidence to
show such was the case. He further
~contended that mere words do not con
stitute an assault, as the Courts have
held and the only words that might
indicate a threat was the statement
made to Miss Grant that eff you did
not have a friend with you you would
be dead" Counsel also %contended
that the amount of bail, $1,000, was
excessive and without precedent in the
county, and to this the Prosecutor
agreed. There was no APPLICATION,
however, to have it reduced. Mr..
Ware further held that the only rea-
son the man is being held is to an
swer to an alleged crime committed in
another State and produced Warden
Myers of the county Jail to testify that
he had been told that eve if Kane Sc
cured bail not to allow him to go until
after Saturday.
Judge Washington granted Mr..
Ware time to get in communication
with Recorder Edgar, of Penns Grove.
to get more of the facts and when
these were produced in the afternoon,
upon advice of Prosecutor Beckley an
order to release the defendant was is
sued. 1t is stated that there was nc
evidence that the man had a revolver
on his person
