Montgomery. February 10.-(Spe- ciaI. .)-Why are not Alabama banks and Alabama farmers taking advan- tage of the emergency funds for fi- nancinsg agriculture provided by the recreation of the war finance cor poration? This big question has come into the minds of members of the Alabama committee which has super vision over these emergency loans in thls state. It became known today that only about $300,000 has been ob- tained by Alabama banks from this fund compared with about S7,000, 900 obtained by Georgia and s25. .00O. 900 obtained by Iowa and other states of the grain belt.
 H M. Hobbie. chairman of the Ala oama committee and president of the Fourth National bank of Montgom- cry, Is seeking to acquaint the small banks especially and farmers with the advantages obtained from the use of this fund, which will so to other states if the banks and farmers of Alabama do not take advantage of it.
 The funds which may be obtained by Alabama are not limited in amount being governed by the proper security which iS required by the war finance corporation. Any farmer may obtain advantage of this service for the liquidation of his agricultural loan to his own bank which he has been unable to liquidate up to this time because of the unusual financial conditions of recent months.
 Obtain Through Banks
 All loans must be obtained through the banks with which the farmers have been doing business. If a farmer has carried loan with his bank which he has been unable to liqui- date, the bank may borrow the same amount of money from the war finance corporation. transferring the collateral already deposited to cover the loan. The bank will be respon ] sible to the war finance corporation for the amount. but this does not increase its responsibility because that amount of its assets Is already tied up in the loan which 1t has been carrying for the farmer.
 The farmer will continue to pay the same rate of interest to the bank while the bank will be able to trans fer the loan to the war finance cor poration at rate of interest of per cent less than the rate obtained from the farmer. this two per cent

war finance corporation. The result is that the banks, by transferring the loans to the funds of the war fiance corporation, will be able to liquidate their loans to the other and larger banks. thus placing themselves in better position to obtain addi- tional funds when necessary.
 Under the lay re-establishing the war finance corporation. loans cannot be made after June 30. 1922. For this reason Chairman Hobbie and other members of the Alabama committee of the war finance comporation-A A M. Baldwin of Montgomery, E. c. Melvin of Selma, Frank Moody of Tuscaloosa, and H. T. Bartlett of Birmingham-are anxious for Ala bama banks to take adyantaee of the fund without delay.
 When the loans have been made within the time permitted by law they may be renewed for a period of three years. Under this plan. ac- cording to the bankers. the states which take advantage Of the oppor- tuninty< before June 30 will have the financial advantage to the extent of their loans over those states which do not obtain the loans

paying the banker the actual cost of handling the loan.
 By transferring the agricultural loans to the funds of the war finance corporation, the bank will put it's own assets in such liquid condition as will permit it to finance other legitimate business. Reports to the state banking department indicate that much of the depression in busi- ness now Is due to the inability Of the banks to finance legitimate en- terprises and this inability Is at tributed to the fact that the banks have found 1t necessary to extend the loans on agriculture as result of the financial reversa1s of last year, especially through the reduction in the price of farm commodities.
 Will Take Advantage
 MT. Hobbie believes Alabama banks will take advantage of the govern ment's offer when they understand what the war finance corporation Is attempting to do for the stimulation of business. He also believes the banks will seek the loans if the farmers of Alabama urge 1t.
 Two arguments have been advanced against the plan of the war finance corporation: First that the two per cent allowed the banks for han ding the funds is not sufficient and. second, that too much red tape must be unwound before the loans can be obtained
 The first argument is answered by the statement that the banks, by transferring the so-called agricul- tural loans to the funds of the war finance corporation at no loss to thenselves because the two per cent win pay the cost of handling, the bank will make it's own assets liquid for the financing of other legi- innate enterprises, thus giving the bank its regular rate of interest on its own funds.
 Second Argument
 The second argument is answered with the declaration that the re- quirements of the war finance cor poration are no greater than any of the banks which have furnished funds to the banks ofAlabama Those interested in the plan point out that its an unusual situation, indeed, now when bank which has particular ized on the financing of agriculture has not borrowed funds from other and larger banks. The hanks which have loaned funds to the banks fi- nancing agriculture have made the same requirements as those of the

Northwestern
Train Service
Is Badly Hit

The train service of the North
western railroad company has
been badly demoralized this week
on account of the railroad strike,
and many trains on their lines
have been taken off entirely, and
the engines that are now in use
on that road are in bad shape.
Monday the passenger trains from
Pierre to Rapid City were discon-
tinued and a combination train
was substituted over this line,
carrying freight and express and
passengers, while closed pouch
mail is being given the towns al
ong the line. East of Pierre but
one passenger each way is now
run, leaving Pierrein the forenoon
and returning in the evening.
This passenger run has been ext
ended to Winona, Minnesota, and
the Huro dnivision cut out entire
ly. The railroad company announ-
ced that the condton of the roOl-
ing stock and shortage of coal
made necessary the curtailing of
the train service. That the engin-
es are in bad shape on that line
was shown Wednesday morning
with the engine that pulled the
accommodation out of Pierre. The
water tank on the engine tender
was leaking a stream, and it was
necessary to the train to stop and
take water at every tank along
viie way, SO as CO enable them to
have a sufficient supply to carry
them from one station to another.
