Form Service bya Bank

A farm service department was
inaugurated a year ago by
bank in Olympia, Washington,
and a farm advisor appointed.
Close cooperation has been
maintained with the state col
lege extension service. Work
in dairying is carried on in
conjunction with the Dairy
H e II d Improvement Associa-
ton. Also a pasture contest
was held in cooperation with
the four banks in the county
which offered prizes amount
ing to $500. Work in poultry
was carried on in cooperation
with the Cooperative Poultry
Association and assistance was
given in organizing an econo-
mic conference for the benefit
of berry growers. The farm
advisor of the bank is active
in the Agricultural Council OF
the county composed of farm
and other organizations inter-
ested in agricultural develop
ment, and also in the Farmers
Market. Six hundred farm busi-
ness analysis blanks were dis
tributed while farm account
books and poultry record books
were also provided to farmers
and have been helpful In start
ing many farmers in keeping
business records.

ways has

advantage of all. So banking has
never lessened it's cooperative atti-
tude toward home building.
Practically all banks now accept
savings deposits which can we'll be
turned to the advantage Of tbs
home builders. The construction
of individual dwellings requires a
large amount of financing and is
a thoroughly commendable enter
prise. Necessarily, the aid given
to home builders is governed by
the sound banking rules which
have grown out of the years OF
experience and constant studies.
All of the efforts made to secure
broader real estate loan privileges,
to adjust resources to make it
possible to lend larger sums for
longer terms, the Standardization
of mortgage loan formulas. and
the actual lending of vast sums on
mortgage notes evidence the desire
of banks to contribute full mea-
sure OF support of the home-build-
ing movement. This is true OF all
classes of banks, but even in
more marked degree of those
whose deposits are largely in the
form of savings.
Both Sides Protected
The process through which bank
loans are made On real estate is as
simple as the nature oi such an
important transaction Will permit.
When money is advanced the
lender must know that repayment
will be made the specified time.
Likewise the borrower wants to be
assured that, after he has figured
the loan on the basis of his con-
servatively anticipated ability to
pay, he will not be required to do
more, that he will not be disturbed
in his efforts to work out Of his
obligations under those terms.
There is no mystery about any
of the details, and when the ne.
gotiations are complete the Dor.
rover knows just what he may ex.
pect and what he will be required
to do to meet his obligations.
Loans made to persons who wish
to acquire homes are not neces-
sarily building loans. One may
wish to purchase a home already
constructed. In this form of trans
action bank loans are used verS-
freely because il is the only kind
of real estate foam some classes
of banks may make. Others OF
course, may lend upon real estate
with improvements uncompleted
and advance funds as the construc-
ton progresses. Different styles in
home financing have developed in
the various states, and banks have
adopted their facilities to all needs.
Among banks and borrowers
for home acquisition purposes q
long established and thoroughly
tested relationship exists. Banks
are not the only agencies through
which such funds are available:
they do not embody all the spirit
Of helpfulness which abounds.
However, through the years of
their cooperation their aid has
been of unquestioneG value to the
home builders whose efforts to
establish a permanence for them
selves have received constant en-
enlargement. Bankers everywhere
are ready to counsel with their
customers about their home-Du1ld'
ing plans and to assist to the ex-
tent of their ability. This IL being
done constantly and the many adj
vantages of 1t are not without
recognition.

Freshman Initiation
Held at RicE,Iand High

Friday, September 10, at 8 pm.
the Freshman initiation was held
at the Richland high school. The
Freshmen had been invited to fur
nish an hours program to show
their skills and talents. This has
been the custom the past three
years as it takes the place of the
former rougher forms of initia-
ton.
That the incoming freshman
class is a very clever one, was
shown by the program, which con-
sisted of many interesting fea-
lures put on under the name OF
"a Hypnotic Day at the Richland
high school," Frank Weed, dis
guised as Prof. Yogi came and
asked permission of Ed Wagner,
freshman class president, to allow
him to hypnotic the class. He
succeeded in doing so we'll under
his spell, the class put on model
classes as conducted by the facul-
ty. They also portrayed the foibles
and talents of the upper classmen.
After the program, the sopho-
mores gave a party in honor OF
the freshmen, to which the high
school students, faculty and alum
nj were invited. Refreshments of
ice cream and cake were served.
Mesdames Ray Copeland, Ben
Hawkins and Wright were dinner
guests Sunday at the home of G.
Dickerson.
Miss Stella Murray left Monday
for Pullman, where she will visit
for a week.
