Nowadays when noted person

few hours. a hundred years
ago when Napoleon died-May 3,
lS2l-it was exactly 60 days be-
fore the world received the news.
Though the English were expect
ing his death at any moment and
had made every preparation to
have word transmitted from st.
Helena to England with all pos
sible dispatch, it was not until
July 1 that the news reached
London. having been brought
there by the sailing vessel Heron.
In accordance with the spirit of
the times, the message was not
given out on the arrival of the
vessel, but was first conveyed to
the foreign office.

Members Stand to Lose Little inI
Farm Loan Associations.

S8Tm Loan ASSOCIATIONS.
Some people who have not
carefully studied the federal
farm loan act seem to be con-
fused about the liability a man
assumes when he JOHNS a ma
tiOnal farm loan association,
says The Progressive Farmer.
Some seem to think that i'll doing
this man is accepting unlimit-
ed liability for any losses incur
red by the association. In fact
one man was heard to say that
he would not have anything to
do with it because he did not
care to assume responsibility
for Tom, Dick and Harry's
loans.
This attitude is due to or
based on lack of understanding.
Nothing could be much more
clearly set forth than that each
member of the association is liza
BILE only to the extent of the
amount of his stock in the associ-
alton and all additional amount
equal to that. If man borrowS
$1,000 he takes only $50 stock.
Therefore the most he could pos
sibly lose if every Tom, Dick and
Harry in America should go
broke would be his stock of $50
i'll the association and an addi-
tional $50.
But the important question is,
How can he lose anything. even
small part of his stock2 Mel
ther Tom, Dick. Harry nor any
body else can get loans exceed
ing 80 per cent of the appraised
value of the land and 20 per cent
OF the appraised value of the per-
manent improvements thereon.
A committee of three farmers,
all members of the association,
makes the appraisals. These are
later checked by an expert APP
praiser from the federal land
bank who goes over every farm
OH which loan is requested.
These loans are made just as safe
as it is humanity possible to make
them. 1t will be rare mstallce
indeed for an association to suf-
fer any material loss through the
raScality or 'nO-accountneSS' OF
Tom, Dick or Harry.
Prospective borrowers should
look upon the local association as
one of the best provisions Of the
farm loan act. 1t is through the
local association that the farmer S
credit is strengthened the point
of giving him long time loan
at a low rate of interest. The AS
sociation sees that appraisal val
ues are neither too high nor too
low and so protects him.

REPORT SHOWS MORE
AND CHEAPER BUILDING
Big Drop IN Costs Indicated in
Manhattan Plans.

IL the ding OF plans can be regarded
as a reliable indicator of conditions IN
the building field the report filed yes
terday by Rudolph p Miller, Superin-
tendent of Buildings in Manhattan, shows
remarkable increase in the amount OF
construction for the first four months
OF 1921 and a still more remarkable de-
ample. the report shows that during
January, February. March and April
plans were filed for 257 new buildings
costing $27,2l2,970. as compared with
us buildings costing S53,354,55S for the
same period last year
II is well know fact, however.
that there Is long road between
the fling of plans and the beginning
Of construction. 1t is equally we'll
known that the estimated cost OF con-
struction is always kept as low as
possible for taxation and other pur-
poses 1t is fact, nevertheless. that
the construction of big office buildings
which prevailed in the building field Of
Manhattan last year has given place to
more moderate priced construction. But
this hardly accounts for the contrast in
superintendent Miller's figures relating
TO dwelling construction, which show
that during April OF the present year
plans were filed for twenty-nne private
residences costing S107,500, or an aver
age of about S3.706 each. as contrasted
with only two dwellings planned during
April, 1920 at a cost of S145.000, or
s72,5 each.
During the month just passed twelve
tenements were planned costing an es-
timated total of S2960.000 or an aver
age of approximately s246.666, as COM
pared with only three tenements planned
in April 1920. to cost a total of s2,750,-
600, or an average of about 1915, 900
each. Making all the reservations nec-
essary in drawing conclusions from the
fling of plans. this more than any other
item IN Superintendent Miller's report
would seem 10 bear out the statement
that the tax exemption measure prom
ises to accomplish its purpose OF encour-
aging the cheaper form of residential
construction.
Even in the Office building field there
is apparently q decided drift away from
the costly form of construction. During
April plans for seven buildings We're
filed to cost a total of S1,700,000, or a
rough average OF S242,S56 each, as
against fifteen buildings costing a total
Of sl3.1o5.000, or an average of about
$S73,666 each.
During the month of April the total
number of buildings Of all types planned
was eighty-nine, having an estimated
cost of $6,619,1 100. as against fifty-seven
with an estimated cost of s20,749,5S7 in
April. 1920 This shows an increase of
thirty-two in the number of plans and
decrease of s14,130.47S in the esti-
mated cost of the buildings.
