FARM LOANS
/ AT 5 IL PER CENT

Loans. on farm lands at 5 II per cent
interest WITH PRIVILEGE OF
PAYING\ ON THE PRINCIPAL
at any annual interest period.
AS a rule. farmers do not care to
cucumber their land with long term
mortgage without the privilege of re-
paying the entire loan in reasonable
length of time. Many salesfhave been
prevented becauseNthe borrowers have
been unable to obtain a release of the
mortgage before maturity without the
payment of heavy Bonus. Under the
option in our mortgage papers THE
BORROWER CAN REPAY THE EN-
TIRE LOAN, Or A PORTION OF
1T. AT ANY INTEREST PERIOD,
if he desires to do So.
Loans are made ONLY ON I'M
PROVED FARM LANDS.
In estimating the value OF land, its
productive capacity is taken vas a ba-
sis while it's nearness to market, access
sibility to roads and turnpikes, neigh
borhood, etc, are also considered.
The partial payment privilege, and
long time, make this contract very
favorable and desirable one for far
mers Then, too, we close our loans.

ANOTHER STEAMER
FOR CUMBERLAND

Nashville, Tenn, Jan.-The taking
over fully of the steamer H. G. Hill
last week by the Nashville Navigation
Company, operating the White Swan
line, marks another step in the up
building of Cumberland river trans
portation With the Hill operating in
the lower Cumberland and the Fall in
the upper river, a great step toward
regular service has been made.
The demands for river transporta-
ton are becoming so much greater
that plans are considered for putting
still another steamer which would give
greater facility for handling freight
and, passenger traffic and likewise
wCSid render a faster service. The di-
rectors of the navigation company
have voted an increase of the capital
stock from 100000 to $125, 900 in
order to meet this requirement and
have decidede also that this stock will
be offered to residents of the river
sections adjacent to the Cumberland,
not only that they may enjoy financial
benefits, but moreso that they will
have an active interest in the develop
ment of the river.
1t is well nigh assured that work
on the Nashville river terminals will
be started at an early date and this
will serve to greatly enhance inbound
and outbound shipping conditions

Worse Than An InfideI

Holy Writ teaches us that he who
fails to provide for his own and es.
pecially for his house is worse than
an infidel. He who takes upon him
self the pledges of the marriage cere-
mony obligates himself to protect and
provide for his wife. Not only does he
obligate himself to provide fSr his
wife but he also assumes the heavy
responsibility of caring for the chill
dren that may come to bless his home.
He who fails Nto meet his obligations
of this nature from such avoidable
causes as laziness, idleness and a
general lack of regard for those de-
pendent upon him, is unworthy of the
name father. It is sad to relate but
this class of humanity is found nearly
everywhere. Such specimen Fof human
ity are a disgrace to the race and I'M
worthy of citizenship in d great re-
public where the principle of, Equal
rights to all and SPECIAL privileges to
none," prevails. MOREOVER, they are
but little of the principles of right and
justice, does not neglectto provide for
his own house. Now there is another
class of humanity that has taken upon
themselves the same obligations as
has the shiftless character described
above They are fallen to The same level
and yet through no direct fault of
theirs. Sickness, poor MANAGEMENT and
various misfortunes have, brought
them down. These things are deplor-
able and poverty usually means sad
ness, misery and despair. How might
such condition. been avoided? Sew
eral things enter into the PREVENTION
of such deplorable state of affairs. A
due regard to the laws of | health
might have prevented sickness. Eco
Monty might have been practiced to
great advantage. Many other things
could have heEped to prevent such a
condition. Among the greatest of these
is LIFE INSURANCE. With this
modern Necessity safely installed in
the home, fthe insured has the aid of
frquent loans at low rate, financial
help In time of disability and at death
the insured's family is saved from the
county house and are become the heirs
of an honorable heritage. Reader, do
you need LIFE INSURANCE? See

Horse a Poor Machine

The tractor must bring Shorter
hours to the farmer. The farm is more
and more getting to be understood as
a factory and it must be organized on
an efficiency basis the same as other
modern industrial enterprises.
The efficiency OF. the man working
on the farml must still be increased.
It has already been multiplied proba-
bly, forty or fifty times since the days
of the woodns pillow. hand sowing of
grain, hand harvesting and threshing.
The farm hand today demands and
must have larger returns for his work
On the other hand, the city workman
must have farm products at a cost
that is reasonable.
The proposition lis this: The land
must produce mo1e and at the same
time require less time and labor by
human hand.
This is where the tractor comes in
and shows itself to be a necessity. 1t
requires the produce of five acres of
land to maintain each horse on a farm
the year round. Even if all the horses
are workable age the average amount
or labor Secured fro each horse is
but two and a half hours per day.
The horse has been declared by
Thomasf Edison to be the most inef-
ficient machine in the world. In. return
for the amount of food and care need
ed, he returnes less in work done than
any other machine.
Food requirements today makeN ii
extremely Improbable TO keep up
acres of land for the maintenance of
one horse power Ter ear wher the
Fordson offers motive power many
times m ore efficient and without the
use of a foot of crop land.
