FARM LOAN BODY
ELECTS OFFICERS
w. A. DEWITT NAMED PRESIDENT
$200,6O0 TO FORTY-SIX
FARMERS In 1922

w. A. Dewitt was elected presi-
dent of the Moscow National Farm
Loan association at the annual meet
ing of stockholders held yesterday
for the election of officers and direc-
tors for the coming year. Anton
Bergen was named vice president,
and Argo w. Bateman, secretary
treasurer.
Anton Bergen, Ralph Bateman,
Charles I. Kelham, w. A. Dewitt and
Fred Barnett were elected directors.
Members of the loan committee Sc
lected were J. G. Dewitt, Charles t.
Kelham and Ralph Bateman with
Fred Barnett and Anton Bergen as
alternates.
The association has made loans
during the past year to 46 farmers
to the amount of $200,600. The total
capital stock held by the association
amounted to $12,S35- at the close of
the year. Each borrower was re-
Quired to subscribe to the stock of
the association in an amount equal
to five per cent of the face value of
his loan This stock was held by the
Federal Land bank as collateral Sc

charge of the mortgage at maturity.
Dividend of Six Per Cent
A dividend amounting to six ler
cent per annum on stock subscrip
tions will be paid some time during
the first quarter of the year.
The interest rate at present is five
and one-half per cent, payable on an
amortization plan whereby install
ments amounting to six and one-half
per cent retire both principal and in
terest of the Indebtedness in the am
ortization period. This gives the
borrower control over the maturity
of his own Indebtedness, and as he
is never required to return in full
at any one time the money loaned
him, it has been said that this is
that never comes due.
The secretary's report shows that
at least two-thirds of the number of
farmers making application for loans
during the past year have already
begun, or will, during the coming
year, begin system of diversified
farming, which the association be-
lievesS will mean greater prosperity
in the years to come for the farmers
of the Palouse country

FIRST NATIONAL
in ANNUAL MEET
YEARS BUSINESS SATISFACTORY
AND PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR
COMING YEAR

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the First National bank
was held Tuesday afternoon, in the
directors room of the bank, at which
time the affairs of the bank were
gone over and the same board of di-
rectors that has served for number
of years reelected. J. K Mccormack,
president of the bank and also presi-
dent of the Union Securities COM
pany, Spokane, was present.
The following directors were cleo
ted:
j. K Mccormack, W. C. Renfrew,
J. S. Heckathorn, G. J. Orland, T. F.
Wren.
Tuesday evening the board Of di-
rectors met and organized, eIecting
the following officers for the year:
J. K. Mccormack, president; w. G..
Renfrew, vice president; j. S. Hecka-
thorn, cashier; A. H. Johnson, as
sistant cashier; Walter Johnson, as
sistant cashier.
Business is Satisfactory
The business of the bank for tie
past year, which is recognized as one
of the trying years in the readjust-
ment period, has been most satisfac-
tory, the deposits keeping up to
point which showed the community
to be in substantial financial con-
dition The earnings of the institu-
tion were also satisfactory.
Mr. Mccormack, who is one of the
pioneer bankers of the Inland Empire
and thoroughly familiar with condi-
tions in the agricultural districts, ex-
pressed feeling of optimism for the
immediate future in the Palouse dis
trict. He stated that the recovery
from the after-war slump had been
much slower in the agricultural dis
tricts than in the manufacturing cen
ters, but said that he believed it is
now well under way, and that with
good crop this year, which is now
promised, considerable progress to-
ward normal condition should be
made.
Mr.. Mccormack suggested, however,
that people should operate conser-
vatively this year and steer clear of
speculative enterprises, until condi-
tions are back to the normal Palouse
country level.
Mr.. Mccormack left for Palouse last
night to attend meeting of the
stockholders of the Security National
bank at that place, of which he is
president and which he founded 33
years ago.

New York. Feb. 1.-Everybody in
pugilistic circles is on the qui vive today.
Some are standing with their mouths
open and ears pinned back, others are
stuffing their auditory apparatus with
cotton and preparing to smile. A few
are preparing to sigh and one or two
heavyweights are arranging to die.

proximately how much the gladiators

attentive ear of Jack Kearns, manager
of Champion Jack Dempsey, expired at

is said. plans also to confer with other
promoters.
New Jersey Bars Bout.
Announcement last night from New
ark that the New Jersey STATE boxing
commission viii not permit jess Will
lard, the Kansas Csiamount. to fight
Dempsey in that state for the title Jess
lost to Jack at Toledo in 1919, was only
one more state added to the area that
has forbidden the proposed meeting.
New York state was first. and boxing
circles here believe that state affiliated
with the empire state in a pugilistic
way will likewise bar the proposed bat
tie.
The New Jersey announcement does
not mean, however. that Dempsey will
be unable to fight Harry Wills, the ne
gro challenger, or some of the other men
mentioned as possible opponents Of the
champion, in that state. Richard, it
has been understood. has had his heart
set on a Dempsey-Willard match and
he himself has permitted it to be known
that he isn't keen about staging a
mixed bout between the champion and
Wills.
Richard Is SPECIFICS.
Richard declined to comment on the
announcement of Chairman Louis Mas.
sano of the New Jersey Boxing Com
mission that a bout between Dempsey
and Willard would not be permitted.
Willard is barred from fighting in New
York because of claims that the Kansas
giant is above the legal maximum age
limit of 3S years.
