Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka
Information for Applicant for
Direct Individual Loan
1t is the purpose of the Federal
Home Loan Bank System to increase
the supply of first mortgage money
for home owners by advancing money
to Building and Loan Associations,
Insurance Companies, Savings and
Loan Associations and Savings Banks
secured by their mortgages as collat-
eral. In this manner, these institu-
lions will have additional money to
lend on first mortgages to home
owners in their communities.
1t is not the intention of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank to engage in
competition with existing mortgage
lending Institutions. Instead, the OBJ
ject of the System is to provide ell
igible institutions with still more
money to- lend in first mortgages to
home owners.
Those desiring first mortgage
loans on home should first call or the
eligible institutions in their locality.
Where such institutions require ad-
ditional funds to lend on first mort
cages, they may obtain them by
joining the Federal Home Loan Bank
System.
Direct loans to home owners can
be made only on well constructed,
well situated homes occupied by the
owner. who must demonstrate that
he can make regular payments, and
provided there is no eligible institu-
ton in the vicinity that can borrow
money from a Federal Home Loan
Bank.
The Federal Home Loan Bank does
not lend on BUSINESS property. 1t does
not lend on homes worth more than
$4,000. 1t does not handle second
mortgages. 1t does not loan on pro-
perties that house more than three
families.
Applications for farm loans should
be made to the Federal Land Bank in
your district.
Use your Building and Loan As
sociations and Insurance Companies
They can and should be members of
this bank and able to supply money
for all good loans on urban homes.

Office of
Chas. A. Myers
End vice-pres.
Mr.. G. B. Lennox.
16O2h North Oath Street,
Omaha, Nebraska
Dear DR.. Lennox:
We are enclosing a questionable
December 7th, asking for information
concerning home loans.
We are enclosing a QUESTIONABLE,
together with a statement of avail
able information for the guidance
of those desiring to make application
for an individual loan on their homes,
We ask that you read both of these
forms carefully, and if you believe
that your circumstances are in line
with the promises described therein,
and the only reason you cannot be
served locally is because of the dearth
of funds, we will be glad to receive
your direct application.
The Federal Home Loan Bank does
not loan money on farm or business
property. 1t does not loan money on
homes which are worth more than
$4,000 or occupied by more than
three families.
All loans made by this bank will be
on the monthly payment plan. The
length of time which a loan may run
has not yet been decided upon, but it
is our opinion that it will be made
only until a time when a local build
ing and loan association can take
over the loan. All loans will be made
upon the same terms Of repayment
and interest charge which are requir-
ed by lending agencies operating in
the applicants community.
When you have filled out the ques-
tionnaire properly, mail it to the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Of Topeka in
the enclosed self addressed envelope
and it will receive due and timely at.
tention.
Yours very truly,
Chas. A. Myers,
End vice-president.

INSURANCE SALESMANSHIP
(The Cookie Burr
Here is a story from Postage and
the Mailbag that I had a good chuckle
over:
Prof. Richard Borden of New York
university tells of his experience in
selling government insurance policies
during the world war. 1t seems that
in a certain camp the idea Of taking
the premium out of the pay check
didn't go over so well in the colored
contingent, so Borden was chosen as
one of the men sent out to sell the
idea of insurance to these men.
After Borden had made several
speeches to them using we'll establish
ed advertising principles, but without
success, he was approached by a
young colored doughboy who suggest
ed that maybe Borden was pressing
the wrong button"
Then although he admitted he knew
nothing about selling and had never
made a speech in his life, he consent
ed to make a two-minute speech.
"Niggahs", he said, "You'se all in
Uncle Sans army now, and youse all
goin' to France. Now over in France
Uncle Sans got two kinds of colored
boys. One kind he keeps in the front
line trenches, where all the shootin'
is goin' on. The other kind he keeps
10 miles behind the lines to take care
of the mules. Now you jest stop and
think. If every time a colored boy gets
killed Uncle Sam has got to pay out
10 thousand dollars, where do you
think he's goin' to put those insured

a business education now covers lit
erature, law, accounting, business or
ganization, ethics, banking economics

Business has become scientific,

Now adays, the individual must

The band is now under the direction of
Jack Oglesby, who is better known as
the Clarinet King. Jack and Jimmie
are two boys who are making quite
a name for Omaha musicians.
For the last two years, Jack and
Jimmie have been playing each other
competition with bands. Now that
they have consolidated, they will be
a hard combination to beat. Jack is
one of the best musical arrangers in
the middle West.
The band is going over big. The
boys stay in the hotel where they
play. Each and every man in the
band is a gentleman, therefore the
boys don't have any trouble anywhere
they go. Jimmie and the band have
made a name in the middle West that
any organization should be proud of.
They are welcomed everywhere they

Dear Editor:


Please note the article enclosed /
clipped from the World Herald issue
of January 10th inst. / think that
Prof. Richard Borden did wrong by
writing such a story in view of the
fact that history shows good record
of Colored forces in all Of U. S. wars
and added to this fact the present far
Eastern situation proves that such
stories of ridicule is unfortunate to
U. S. and should not be allowed. It
seems possible that Prof. Borden was
absent when the New York Univers-
ity instructors were giving out in
structions on how to use some brains.

That the United Textile Workers

struggle for more improvements in
