For Bates County, With Headquar-
tiers at Rich Hill.-Elects
Officer,

Oliver ]. Lloyd, Secretary of the
Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, Mo-,
after some correspondence with Gus
kienberger, cashier of the CONNER
cial State Bank, and r. A. Langen-
bacher, Bates County Farm Agent,
came to Rich Hill Friday for the pur-
pose of organizing land bank asso-
citation, says the Rich Hill Review.
The farmers and land owners who
have been interested in this form of
loan on their land and farms were
previously notified and all had gath
cred at the directors room of the
Commercial State Bank, of Rich Hill,
Mo, for the purpose of having the
matter gone over with and for the
organization.
After a few brief remarks and ex-
PLANTATION of the workings of the as
ISOLATION by Mr.. Lloyd, the meeting
was opened for discussion and for
questions from any one there and
which were explained and answered
by Mr.. Lloyd.
The matter being thoroughly dis
cussed and understood, the meeting
was organized with a good member
ship and of which the permanent
name of the organization was chosen
for the association and the organiza-
ton completed.
The association is to be known as
The Bates County National Farm
Loan Association, and shall operate
in Bates County, Mo.
The organization voted to have a
board of directors, consisting of five
members, and of which c. A. More

Hill, Mo-. with regular monthly meet

The meeting was interesting and
good attendance, and while the asso-

The newly organized Butler Musi-
cal Club had its first regular meeting
Tuesday night in the Circuit Court
room, with an attendance of rs, con.
siderably more than attended the or

with enthusiasm by those present.
This organization has for its OBJ
ject the cultivation of the musical
talent of the community. 1t has, as
earnest supporters. representatives of
every business and profession in our
town. and when securely established,

and meeting nights are every Tues.

We are sure Butler realizes the
great influence for good this club
will be. Let us support it. We need
singers-not altogether soloists. but
singers who just sing and who will
try. If you can't sing, give us your
moral and financial support. We
can't make this the big success it
should be unless YOU, kind reader,
help. Take it home to yourself and
attend our next meeting. Butler is
proud Of its band. 1t can be just as
proud of a good musical club, COM
prising chorus and orchestra. Our
meetings are Tuesday nights. Come
up and see the work being done.
You'll get the spirit the pep, the view
of the possibilities, and forthwith
crawl on the bandwagon.

The growing use Of the internal

shown by reports to Lloyds Register
that 454 900 tons Of motorships are be-
ing built in the world at present. The
greater part Of this construction is in
the United Kingdom, Holland and the

Decline i'm the Last Three
Months Has Been Only
About 5 p. c., However,
Lloyd's Register States

Shipbuilding throughout the world is
only about per cent less than three
months ago, although ther, has been
a general contraction in construction,
says a statement issued by Lloyd's
Register Of Shipping.
The total now building in the world
is given as 7,179,000 gross tons, in COM
parison with 7,565,O00 tons at the end
of the third quarter Of 1920. France
and Holland are practically the only
countries to show gain in the amount
of construction.
The total of vessels actually build
ing under the supervision Of Lloyd's
Register, and intended to be classed
with that society, now amounts to
4,S00, 900 gross tons, Of which 1920 900
tons are being built in the United
Kingdom. The society is, therefore,
CHASING more than twothrds of all
the seagoing tonnage in the world to-
day
For the first time since the war Pc
riod, it is pointed out, British ship
building shows a decline The reces-
sion is only small one, however,
3,709,000 gross tons being in hand 1t
the end Of December, compared with
3,731 900 tons at the end of last Sep
tember. The decrease of $4,000 tons
compares with one of 100000 tons for
American shipyards, the aggregate
under way in ths country at the end
of 1920 being 100000 tons, compared
with 1,772, 900 tons three months previ-
ously.
Other countries than the United
States and the United Kingdom show
an advance of $4,000 tons, but this is
accounted for by the increase in the
amount of building in France from
$4,000 tons to $4,000 tons and in
Hollands total of 100000 tons, COM
pared with 424000 tos in the previous
quarter.
While the United States was build
ing, about 100000 tons less than the
United Kingdom at the end of last
September, Lloyd's Register points out
the British lead at the end Of Decem-
Der had been widened to almost 2,4o0,-
goo tons. At the beginning Of 1920
Tor the first time since the war period
Great Britain took the lead from the
United States, with 100000 tons un-
der construction, compared with 1885,
ooo IN this country. In the ensuing
hN''SrCi, Clc OultcQ AINRQOnl
has gained over 100000 tons, while the
United States has lost about 1,65O,0 900
tons and is building considerably less
than half the amount it had under way
year ago.
AS result of the changed condi-
tions, SIG per cent Of the worlds
shipbuilding is now being done in
Great Britain, compared with 38.1 per
cent at the beginning Of 1920. In the
same period the United States share
of the total has decreased from 37.7
per cent to 1872 per cent. To-day
therefore, the United Kingdom is
building more than all the rest of the
world combined, position held by
the United States during the period
OF the intensified shipbuilding cam
paign in this country.
The status of world shipbuilding
now, as compared with year ago, is
shown by the following table of gross
tons Of shipping under way at the two
periods:
