The Young Peoples class at the
Christian Church, with II. H. Errelt
teacher had watermelon party, or
rather a trip to a watermelon patch
on last Monday night. Three cars
carrying seventeen young people and
some who weren't so young drove out
Ia. the home of Mr. Barker, IL miles
southwest of town. and were given
free access to his watermelon patch.
What these young people did TO
those watermelOns can just be ina
gined. They gathered a number of
melons and ate to their hearts con-
tent The crowd got back to town
about nine O'clock and all reported
a fine time. This class is compOs-
ed of a bunch of live wires, and
when they go out for good time
il is going to be gotten somehow.
Harry Farber and his wife and the
Editor and better half got in on the
party and just now we are awaiting
the announcement of something else.
We are for this class strong.

Denver Record-Stockman)
The character and standing of
farmers and stockmen applying for
loans from the War Finance cor
poratiOn plays an important part in
consideration of loan applications,
says c. Lee Wood secretary of local
committee Of the corporation.
In a statement issued Tuesday
from the committees offices. 3i5 u.
5. National Bank building, Mr.. Wood
points out the difference between
War Finance corporation loans and
those obtained from a Federal Re
serve bank. The statement shows
how moral risk plays an import
ant part in operations OF the cor
poration's billion dollar fund. and
why the borrower does not have to
worry over the statutory time limit
and prospective refusal 10 redis-
count.
The statement says:
The question is often asked: Why
should / borrow from the War Fin
.ance corporation when can borrow
from the Federal Reserve bank?'
Bank Requires Margin
IN the first place, the Federal
Reserve bank will not take into ac-
count the moral risk in connection
with a piece of paper secured, for
instance, by 100 head of cattle. There
must be an adequate margin in the
paper irrespective of the endorser.
In other words, without stint or
favor the Reserve Bank motto is,
we will only loan 75c on every dol
lar market value you put up
"The War Finance corporation is
not as arbitrary as this. The man
behind the security--his reputation,
past experience, present ability-in
other words, the moral risk is given
consideration. Realizing that thru
no fault Of the farmer his predica-
ment is due TO the present demOral-
lied condition of the market credit
stringency. high production costs,
etc. the War Finance corporation
takes a moral risk. All of those cir
cumstances are taken into account
when figuring up the margin of the
/ individual loans asked from the War
/ Finance corporation.
Paper Must Stand on Merits
In the second place a bank hold
ing a piece of cattle paper, the mar
gin of which has very materially
narrowed down, in some cases to the
actual value Of the cattle. cannot
use this paper as a basis for redis-
lcount with the Federal Reserve
bank. Each piece of paper must
stand on its own merits.

Kcegan is not a stranger in Clayton

Three long tables were prepared,
with a seating capacity OF li6 and
when the places were taken, only
four chairs remained unclaimed
The feast, for no other words could
properly express it, was all donated

MORAL RISK is TAKEN BY THE
GOVERNMENT IN THE MAKING
OF THE STOCKMENS LOAN

In such a case the War Finance
corporation may consider this pa
per, taking as additional security,
mortgages on the farmers agricul-
tural products, if he has any, or a
first lien on his land. This would
place new funds in the hands Of
country bankers with which to fin
ance their present agricultural and
live stock needs, and let them work
out some of their present difficult
ties.
Third, there is statutory limit
TO the borrowing capacity of banks
on their primary obligations repre-
sented, either by direct bills payable
or by rediscounts. In case of banks
operating under the national bank
ing laws, and subject in their bOr-
rowiRgs 10 100 per cent of their paid
in capital, this provision is amend
ed so as to exclude from its limita-
ton liabilities named under the
War Finance corporation act. In
other words, national bank having
bills payable or other obligations
outstanding equal to its capital stock
could apply 20 the War Finance cor
poratiOn for an advance if it has
outstanding agricultural and live
stock loans in excess of this amount
and within the meaning of section
2i of the War Finance corporation
act.
What Law Provides
This section of the act says in
part:
The War Finance corporation is
authorized to make an advance to
any bank, banker, trust company,
cooperative association or cattle loan
company, which may have made ad-
vances for agricultural and live
stock purposes that is for any pur-
pose connected with the growing,
harvesting, preparation for market
and marketing of agricultural pro-
ducts, or the breeding, fatening,
raising and marketing of live stock
or which may have discounted or
redscounted agricultural papers
Fourth: In order TO be eligible
for rediscount under the Federal
Reserve system, the time limit on
paper must be limited to a period
not to exceed six months, and when
due must be taken care of. No as
surancc is given that a renewal will
be considered. The War Finance
corporation is making its advances
on a basis of from six months to
zone year, and will consider renewals
up to a period of three years from
tlhe date of the original advance
