PARENTS NIGHT
IS BIG SUCCESS.
Between 400 and 500 Faith
ers, Mothers and Visitors
Enjoy Program by the Boys

The boys department and the
gymnasium of the Y. NJ. G. A. were
thronged last night with interested
parents and friends who attended
the Parents Night observance which
was calculated and which
carried out its original pur-
pose of showing the community the
work that Is being accomplished in
the gymnasium and the progress of
the members of the boys depart-
ment. 1t is thought that between
400 and 500 people were present be-
side the boys themselves and the
officials of the organization were
glad to see the large number OF
est in their boys by their presence
last night.
The guests were welcomed by
Boys Work Secretary Fenby w.
Scott who. in behalf of Physical
Director Schuyler Pew and General
Secretary Walter II. War; invited
all parents to make free with the
building and enjoy themselves to
their hearts content.
There were about sixty boys on
the gym floor every one of whom
was a credit to the training he had
received from Mr.. Pew. The work
of the leaders. especially was par
ticularly fine and proved the main
attraction of the evening.
The program was run according
to schedule and the work OF the jul
nior leaders in the pyramid. wand
and parallel bar drills evoked great
applause from the spectators.
These leaders also lead the boys
in maze running, apparatus work
and games. The competition be-
tween the two contesting classes
was very keen owing to the equally
divided power, and the basket ball
game in which the Independents
won from the second team, proved
an interesting end to the nights
activities.

which the Federal Land banks have for
loaning purposes. This makes it pos
sible for the banks to accept mortgages
of about 100000 instead of the
$349, ,6S7 ,97S which constituted its out

more than five years and the real es
tate more than one year. The decision
held that the loan, being a demand
loan, was subject to call, and was not
actually tying up bank funds in
frozen credit. Practically such loans
could not be expected to be called at
short notice however, and therefore
form an additional help OF farm
credits.
Plans have also been discussed which
would enable the war finance corporu-
tion to make loans through the Federal
Reserve bank to farmers. This would
form an additional subsidy for the sys-
tenn, and would relieve somewhat the

FARM LOAN SYSTEM
DESERVES HE'LL

In spite Of upholding Of constitution
ahty of the Federal Farm Loan sys-
tenn by the United States Supreme
court, some difficulty is being found
in financing the system. This is re-
Elected in the fact that out Of the
$40 0,00O, 900 Land Bank bonds offered
on the market in April there are still
about $l,5O0,OOO left to be sold.
That the system can be great aid
to the farmers is acknowledged, and 1t
has been with this in view that the
Curtis bill was passed by the senate
and is now likely to pass the house.
This bill provides for the distribution
of $50 100000 among the twelve feder-
al land banks of the country by the
United States treasury, and has the ap-
proval of Secretary Mellon of the
Farm Loan board, and of numerous
agricultural organizations.
Bonds of the Federal Land bank sys-
tenn held in the u. S. treasury already
amount to $1S3 ,O35 900 out of total
issue of 1888, 7s4 5000. When the latest
offering is sold this total will amount
to 1878, ,7S4 800, but this increase will
be more than offset by the $4,000, 900
which the Curtis bill would provide.
1t is believed unfortunate by many
that the government is thus forced to
subsidize to the extent of nearly 60
per cent of its bonds so worthy an IN
stitution. With it's practical govern
ment guarantee, the system should be
able to finance itself. However, the
conditions of the money market have
made conditions such that even tax
exempt securities like farm loan bonds
must yield over per cent to be at
tractive. The Land Bank law forbida
the offering of these bonds to yield
over per cent, so that the offering
is forced to drag along.
The t5O,OOO,0O0 revolving fund. the
500, 100000 Federal Reserve earnings
and the proceeds of the last issue, to-
gether amount to nearly 5000, ,000, 900
