The National Farm Loan System
Again.


To save time, expense and unnec-
essary work for the officials of the
federal banks and their secretary
treasurer, we wish to answer a few
questions which farmers are asking
every day.
'Is there anything to it?" This is
what a farmer asked us over the
phone. We answer: These banks were
legally created as part of the bank
ing system of the United States, as
held by the U. S. supreme court. The
government believes in it to the ex-
tent of having purchased $1,000,00O
worth of our bonds and is authorized
by congress to take as many more"
Naturally there is something in it.
The system is functioning again, SO
we are accepting applications for
loans.
Who are eligible for loan from a
Federal Land bank?
The first requisite is that the ap-
plicant be person of good character.
No amount of security that he can of
fer carries any weight if he lacks
this. We do not buy farms for peo-
pie to cut the timber off and give
them a chance to then say: "Here is
your farm, take it." One fellow
wanted $4,000 for exactly this pur-
pose. Another man said he hadn't a
cent to but into a farm, but there
wasn't much doing in the mill where
he was working and he wanted us to
purchase a farm for him.
Now, Uncle Sam and everybody
connected with the system down
through are kind and accommodat~
ing; but not to this extent.
We loan SO per cent. of the value
of the land and 20 per cent. of thc
value of the buildings thereon. W.
do not care to take risks on propert
in poor location or where the title
and general conditions are not favor
able.
A borrower from a Federal Land
bank has 35 years in which to pay his
mortgage. But may, after five years
pay as rapidly as he wishes.
1t costs a, small fee to place a loan
look up titles, etc., and the borrower
pays this.
We are always glad to explain and
assist in placing loan, but onlv I'M
der the rules prescribed by the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board of Washing
ton, ID. c., to whom we are answer
able.
Respectfully,
Albert r. Wakoran/
Sec.-Treas.

ORLEANS COUNTY COURT
Two Cases from South End of County
Tried Last Week.

Two cases in which Barton parties
were interested were up for trial
at county court last week.
The contract case of B. F. & H. L.
Jackman ". Ava L. Peene, which oc-
cupied the attention of the court the
first of last week resulted in ver-
dict for the plaintiffs. 1t was brought
out at this trial that Mrs. Peene, who
resides in Yonkers, N. Y, and spends
the summers at her summer home at
Willoughby lake, purchased of the
plaintiffs S5 window shades, claiming
the purchase price was $1.OO each,
but later received bill for same on
which the curtains were charged at
$2.45 each. Mrs. Peene accompanied
by her New York attorney and chauf-
feur motored from New York to
Newport to be present at the trail.
The second case, which has been on
trial since Tuesday, is State ". Ella
Lurvey of Glover. States Attorney
Albert Farman is prosecuting the
case for the State. Nathan Norton
of Lyndonville and w. Reirden of
Barton are attorneys for the defen-
dant. Mrs. Lurvey, who resides on
the Hiram Davis farm in Glover, is
charged with having forged check.
L Lo CHECK WHICH was lOT poo Was
made to one Clyde Wheeler, land signed
by C. C. Grow of Barton. C. A.
Mute, merchant in Barton, cashed
the check and claims Mrs. Lurvey is
the woman who presented the check
at his store. Grow claims that he
never issued the check. Several wit
nesses were on the stand and the
case went to the jury Friday
morning and returned verdict of
not guilty.
On Tuesday Arthur and Antoine
Quintal were brought into court and
received sentence for breaking into
and robbing the store of w. E. Brock
in South Troy on the night of Jan
18th, of $371.31.
Arthur the older of the two brothers
who plead guilty to the charge was
sentenced to serve one to five years in
the house of correction. Antoine who
stood trial and was convicted, owing
to his youth was left off with a fine
of $4,000 and costs amounting to
$4,000. The two young men were un-
der $500 bail each, up to their trial
which was about two weeks ago, since
that time they have been under $4,000
bail to appear for sentence.

Who, and How Much?

Final plans for the local canvass in
the churches of Orleans county for
the great Congregational Forward
movement are nearing completion and
the following facts and figures tell
the aim and personnel of the cam
paign in a nutshell.
AS an illustration of how red-blood-
ed business men look upon the move
ment it may be stated that leading
business man of North Troy, not a
church member, when the aim of the
movement was explained to aim said
he would give $1O0. This is the spirit
actuating many persons today who see
in the forward movement of the
churches the only hope of peace, pros
perity and happiness for the world
as we'll as the individual. Newport
will make its canvass Sunday but
most of the churches plan their cam
vass Sunday, May 1.
L. A. Edwards of Newport and Rev.
R. A. Hamilton of Orleans are the
committee in charge. The local
chairmen and the quotas are as fol-
lows, for each Congregational church

an asset to every community, that
cannot be neglected, and as a bust.
ness proposition their management
demands closest attention.
Highway Financing
There are two alternatives in road
building, first to build at low initial
cost road that requires a periodical
maintenance that in a few years
amounts to the first cost or to build
at greater initial cost road whose
maintenance is almost negligible.
The first Is in good condition only a
!'ortion of the time between periods
OF repair representing perhaps so per
cent efficiency while the second, re-
quiring attention to only the minor
details which do not affect the
smoothness of travel in the least, Of
'fers 100 per cent efficiency service
365 days in the year. This subject
must be taken into consideration in
financing highway work. Altogether
too often the money is appropriated
first and its use determined after
wards and the exaggerated promises
OF the sponsors are not fulfilled.
There are two methods in use for
financing highway improvements, the
direct or special tax method and the
bonding method. Taxation is the
slow and sure way and is generally
used after general improvement is
completed. 1t is the pay as you go
plan. The bonding method should
be used for permanent road systems
only, and the use of bond money on
roads should receive the most care-j
full study If you issue, say twenty
year bond, the money from that bond /
should be used upon an improvement
that will have life equal to the
bond. 1t is a financial mistake to
build a five year road upon twenty
year bond money, for you have been
forced to rebuild the road three times
before that bond has matured and are
paying interest upon the cost of re-
building. II for no other reason this
principle will reduce the credit value
u any community. Many states have
limited by law the terms for which
bonds can be issued for certain types

lmple, bonds of gravel roads are
