A NEW FARM LOAN BILL

A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress that is intended to assist farm
ers in getting loans. Our great ,rou-
BILE with the farm loan banks has been
the delay and red tape that delays
the process sof getting loans. Farmers,
of course, when they apply for loans
need the money and need it as soon
as it can possibly he secured
The bill referred to creates farm
ers finance corporation for the pur-
pose of certifying land titles in O.G~ i
that loans may be negotiated ii rea~
enable costs. The bill, which was ir-
troduced several weeks ago. is in
tended to give owners of farms rec
ogniZed and approved loan value iii
the form of government certificate,
which may be accepted as official Sc
curity for loans limited by the amount
for which the property is approved.
Congressman Langford, of Geor-
gia, who introduced the bill, made this
statement in referring to it:
"Can there possibly be better loan
system than the one here proposed,
which will enable the farmers of our
country to borrow the money they
need, when needed, for as long time
as needed and without eXorbtant
fees?
"A system which will enable them
without delay and extra cost to re-
borrow and repay from time to tirnc
as desired any amount limited only
by the approved value of the property.
The system proposed will help not
only the farmers, but the entire coun-
try.
Il am sure the banks throughout
the country will gladly cooperate in
the operations under this bill. Espe-
cially is this true of the country

THE JEWS GOING
BACK TO PALESTINE

That the Jews will again occupy
Palestine and that it will be once
more the home that widely scattered
nation seems to be fulfilled. This will
be in accordance with biblical pro-
phecy and will be another evidence of
the inspiration of the scriptures.
One of the latest and most signili-
cant features of the reservation of the
Jews to the Holy Land is the resolu-
ton introduced in the United States
Senate by Senator Lodge that was re-
fcrred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations.
The resolution is to the effect that
the United States favors the establish
ment in Palestine of the National
Home for the Jewish people and that
the holy places and religious build
ings and sites in Palestine shall Ec
adequately protected.

StOf1GS OF BY Elmo
Great Scouts wsse. Sss"
JOHNNY APPLESEED." SCOUT
WHO PLANTED ORCHARDS
@. Western Newspaper Union,

Not all of the great scouts were In.
dian fighters. In contrast to the ca.
reer Of Lewis Wetzel who was some.
thng OF professional Indian killer,
Is the life of John Chapman or
Johnny Appleseed." Chapman never
killed an Indian in his life, but he
probably saved as many white men
from death at their hands as Wetzel
did.
Chapman first appeared on the Ohio
frontier In 1905. He came floating
down the Ohio river In q canoe, tow.
Ing another, and both boats were load
ed with apple seeds from the cider
mills of Pennsylvania. His purpose
was to plant the seeds In the wilder
ness so that orchards would be started
for the settlers when they arrived
there to make their homes.
For the next 80 years he went every
where up and down the Ohio country,
planting seeds, going from one orchard
to another. pruning and caring for the
young trees He was welcome Wis.
itor In the log cabins of the settlers
Tor he always carried Bible and
some books from which he would read
and preach to them before the blazing
tirepiaces I'm the evening.
Johnny practiced his teachings of
humility and kindness. He never killed
anything for food. He carried a kit
of cooking utensils, including a mush
pan, which he sometimes wore as a
hat. Usually he wore broad -brimmed
black hat, but coffee sack with arm
holes cut In II was his only coat.
White men called him queer" for
he often went barefoot In winter as
we'll as In summer, but the Indians
said, "He has been touched by the
Great Spirit" He went everywhere
among them unharmed, for the fact
that Johnny never carried a gun con.
vinced them that he was under the
special protection Of the Manito.
During the War of 1912 when the
British were Overrunning the Ohio
country, Johnny Appleseed performed
his greatest service for his people In
his wanderings among the tribes he
often learned of their plans for at.
tacks on the settlements Where no
other white man could have gone,
Johnny passed in safety and more
than once he carried warnings to the
settlers, giving them time to prepare
for defense before the red invaders
swept down upon them.
All this time Johnny Appleseed was
carrying out his cherished dream Of
making Ohio bloom with fruit trees
and many of the finest orchards In
that state today owe their beginnings
to this strange man. In his later years
Johnny left the country which he had

FORMER RESIDENT WRITES
AN INTERESTING LETTER
Dear Editor;-

Dear Editor;-
note with no little interest the
amount of cooperation among bus
ness men, especially is this true with
the farmers. South Carolina unoues-
tionably has been hard hit by the boil
weevil, but it is not alone in this res
pect, and l hope it will not be alone
in the fight against the weevil.
South Carolina will always raise
cotton, that she should do but they
should plant other crops to supple
ment cotton, truck, peanuts, sweet
potatoes, spuds, velvet beans and
clover. And keep more hogs, cows
and poultry. If properly handled it
can be made one of the the most
profitable side lines on the farm.
Then too creamery, small
creamery often gives the farmers
some ready money daily. We have in
Ocala, just started a small cream
cry about " months ago. The first
day we had come in about lac gal
Ions of milk. Today we are getting
800 gallons daily, with daily in
crease. Prices are 35 cents and 40
cents per gallon according to butter

flood one market and others really in
need of truck and eggs and willing
to pay the price, go without.
am also gratifed to note the in
terests in better schools and good
roads, there is nothing that mas more
tendency to build county, state or
nation, than good schools and roads.
| am proud to hear of so many i'm
provements in South Carolina es-
pecially Chesterfield county (my old
home) glad to hear that so many peo-
pie are contented, and progressive
and unafraid. We all have lesson to
learn, and if we keep our hearts
pure, character clean and head cool,
we can face the future with conf
dence.
In casting my lot with the good
people here in Ocala, Marion County,
Florida, some seventeen years ago, |
have learned to love my adopted home
and the people, where we have one
OF the best counties in the State of
Florida.
AT any time should any of my old

Be scrub in the valley-but be
The best little scrub at the side of the

Be bush if you can't be a tree
If you can't be bush, be bit of
grass,
Some highways to happier make;
If you can't be muskie, then just be

But the livest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, some have
to be crew.
There's something for all of us
here;
There's big work and there's a les

And the task we must do is the

fail
Be the best Of whatever you are.

MAKING THE PANAMA

Our annual peanut crop is valued
at over 100000, 900, but even this is

THE GENOA CONFERENCE

America is not represented at the
Genoa Conference but there are more
than forty other nations taking part
in the proceedings.
At this writing it is not thought
probable that any special advantage
is to be gained by the conference and
it is probably as well that this country
did not spend any money in sending
representatives to Genoa.
Some of the representatives are
said to be favoring disarmament and
at the same time improving their gar
risons and in peace preparing for war.
