cause pain to the lady who is be-
trothed to me, | will not allow it
to pass without challenge or allow
any deputy in this assembly of my

AGCIE LOANS BY
WAR FINANCE IN
EXCESS MILLION
That's Record In Oklahoma Says
Chairman; Many Banks Take Ad-
vantage Of Opportunity;
Prompt Approval.

Oklahoma City, Jan. i--Agrlcul-
tura and livestock loans In excess
of one million dollars have now been
approved by the Oklahoma commit
tee OF War Finance Corporation, ac.
cording to Y. A. Janeway. chairman
of the cimmittee.
There is practically no limit C
the money the War Finance corpora
tion has to loan except the security
offered for the loans" says Mr..
Janeway. Both the Oklahome com
mittee and the corporation itsel,
are anxious TO get this money iatC
the hands OF Oklahoma farmers and
stockmen. This can be done, o.
course, only through local banks
and upon adequate security under
the provisions OF the War Finance
act.
"The Oklahoma committee has
now approved more than one million
dollars in loans and applications
are coming in rapidly. For some
time following the creation of the
agency in this state, Oklahoma
banks were slow to take advantage
of their opportunity. The series OF
meetings with bankers, held in
ten cities Of the state by members
OF the committee, did much,' how
ever, tward creating more favor
able attitude. The banks are find
ing that the Oklahoma committee
and the corporation itself are genu-
inely anxious to be helpful to both
farmers and bankers. A result of this
changed attitude is a marked in.
crease in the number or applications
received by the committee.
There is no red tape to be un-
wound In securing these loans. The
committee acts on an application
within few days and usually
twelve to fourteen days are required
for action at Washington. The board
there is lending more than $l,50O,OOO
daily and is swamped with work.
Thus far not a single application
pasecd by the Oklahoma committee
has been turned down by the War
Finance Board"
