Finance Body of Farmer S
Union to Amend Articles
SO 1t Can Become
Depository.
Osborn Is Optimistic

First cooperative bank in Nebras-
ka will be formed to care for deposits
from farm, labor and small shops. If
plans of the Farmers Finance cor
poration are realized. This organiza-
ton is one of the activities sponsored
by the Nebraska Farmers union.
At meeting of the finance cor
poration, following the Nebraska
Farmers union convention in the
Castle hotel yesterday. some stock
holders suggested that since the cor
poration owed more money than 1t
had in its treasury, it should dissolve.
This was contested and a motion
was made to amend the articles of
incorporation to transform the IL
nance corporation to deposit bank.
The body will exist until the articles
are amended.
Credit Act Deals Blow.
Action was taken because of the
recent intermediate credit act, which
prohibits the finance corporation
from functioning as a loan body un-

stock of $4,000.

but it was not accepted.
President c. j. Osborn declared that
although the meetings of the Farm
ers' union were in the routine of a
usual convention, three high points
were visible.
Profit Is Shown.
THE last year was the first since
1919 that the state exchange has op-
Grated with a profit" he said. "A
motion to withdraw from the national
body was swamped under the votes
opposing the recommendation.
THE most noticeable fact. perhaps.
is the reorganization of the Farmers
Union Livestock Commission COM
panies in Omaha, Sioux City and st.
Joseph"
The desire of the farmers attend
ing the convention to move ahead as
business men and to seek aid through
regular businesslike channels. is espe-
cially inspiring, declared Mr.. Osborn.
