 The bonds of the federal land banks as instrumentalities of the United States are highly attractive to prudent investors. Their sale, like all the operations of the federal banks, is closely supervised by the federal farm loan board at Washington. On the contrary, joint stock banks sell their bonds at will and largely inde- pendent of government supervision. Still further to increase their large gains, the joint stock banks are sub- sidized by having their bonds exempt ed from taxation. Tn the case of fed eral farm loan bonds, tax exemption is justified because the federal land banks are not for profit, operate sub- stantially at cost, and any gains they do make go pro rata to their farm borrowers.
 Each farmer who desires federal loan joins the national farm loan as sociation covering his locality. He buys shares in it equal to per cent of his loan. It invests that money in shares of the federal land bank.
 "Thus the system is strictly co operative, purely mutual and not for profit. It enables farmers to obtain longtime money upon first farm mort gages upon easy terms at lowest pos sible rates. It phenomenal success has more than fulfilled all the hopes ever expressed for the federal farm loan system.
 'No wonder private promoters and land financiers are eager to organize as joint stock land banks, so as to absorb in profits for themselves the savings, which now go to farmer bor- rowers through the federal farm loan system. These financial middlemen are making the last great fight Of the money power for special privilege and fancy profits at the farmers expense
 We would suggest that each farmer, in order to protect his own interests and to prevent the Joint Stock Land Bank from robbing him of that inter est, write letter to his senators and representatives in congress, request ing them to vote for the Shoot bill "S' 2426, now pending in the senate.

QUALITY AND NOT
 QUANTITY WILL BE SHOWN AT STOCK SHOW NEXT WEEK.

The promoters of the Arkan- sas Stock Show, which will be held in Liberty Hall next week, have this year drawn the line between quantity and quality, and only about one-half the number of cattle and hogs that have been sold in previous years will be offered under the hammer. The smaller number will bring a price in excess of the larger one. The quality IS there, which means that the best blood strains of the world will be offered Arkansas stock growers. Your community should have a buyer here to get in on the bidding. You will find S1,000 invested in such stock as is offered, will in few years pay a dividend on $1,000,0OO- Don't miss this, your banner op- portunity. Attend the stock show.
