FARM LOAN ASSOCIA-
TION IS ORGANIZED
Farmers Will Take Advantage
oi New Law Designed to
Help Them.
About _ twenty-five farmers
met in the Davis hall Saturday
and organized a farm loan as-
sociation in order to be ready
for loans when the Federal Farm
Bank is opened at Houston, for
this district. Under the regu-
lation of the new farm loan
banking law it is necessary to
organize farm loan associations
before loans can be made to
those desiring them.
Much discussion was. heard
on the subject by those who
have given it special study, as
every man should, who expects
to share in its benefits, and the
meeting was full of pep and en-
thusiasm. Jadge D. T. Garth
was elected president of the as-
sociation; J. C. Lambert, vice
president, and J. Wed Davis,
secretary - treasurer. Directors
elected were: D. T. Garth, J.
C. Lambert, J. C. George, J. M.
Willard and H. N. Gunter; The
loan committee is composed of
Messrs. Garth, Lambert, and
George. This committee will
have charge of the loans and
will pass upon the advisability
of them before they are placed
before the board of the Federal
Farm Loan Bank.
The association begins, it is
said, with aboqt twenty mem-
bers who applied for aggregate
loans of $35,000,00. When blanks
have arrived application will be
made to the Federal Farm Loan
Bank in Houston, and the as-
sociation will then get down to
business. Another open meeting
will be held on the first Saturday
in February. All those interest-
ed are requested to be present.
The list is belflfcT held open for
two or three weeks in order that
those who desire may have their
names added to the list. You
should see Mr. Davis at once and
enroll for a loan, if you are
desirous of becoming a member
of the association.
The name given is The Free-
stone County National Farm
Loan Association.

Washington, Jan. 22.—Wheth-
er the United States shall enter a
world peace league and, as may
• ‘ ft • \ . • v *
be contended, thereby abandon
its traditional, policy of isolation
and no entangling alliances, was
laid squarely before Congress
and the country today by Presi-
dent Wilson in a personal ad-
dress to the senate.
For the first time in more than
a hundred years a president of
the United States appeared in
the senate chamber to discuss
the nation's foreign relations af-
ter the manner of Washington,
Adams and Madison. The effect
was to leave Congress, all official
quarters and the foreign diplo-
mats amazed and bewildered.
Immediately there arose a sharp
division of opinion over the pro-
priety as well as the substance
of the President's proposal.
The chief points in the Presi-
dent’s address were:
That a lasting peace in Europe
cannot be a peace of victory for
either side. ;
That peace must be followed
by a definite concert of power to
assure the world that no catas-
trophe of war shall overwhelm it
again.
That in such a concert of pow-
er the United States cannot
withhold its participation to
guarantee peace and justice
throughout the world.
And that before a peace is
made the United States should
frankly formulate conditions up-
on which it would feel justified
in asking the American people
for their formal and solemn ad%
herence.
“It is clear to every man who
thinks,” the President told the
senate, “that there is in this
promise no breach in either oqr
traditions or our policy as a Na-
tion, but a fulfillment rather of
all that we have professed or
striven for.
“I am proposing, as it were,
that the nations should with one
accord adopt the doctrine of
President Monroe as the doctrine
of the world; that no nation
should seek to extend its ..policv
over any other nation or people,
but that every people should be
left free to determine its own
policy, its own way of develop-
ment, unhindered, unthreatened,
unafraid, the little along with
na.
act in the common interest and
are free to live their own lives
under a common protection.
“I am proposing government
by the consent of the governed;
that freedom of the seas which
in international conference af ter
conference representatives of the
United States have urged with
the eloquence of those who are
the convinced disciples of liberty,
and the moderation of arma-
ments which makes of armies
and navies a power for order
merely, not an instrument of ag-
gression or of selfish violence.
“These are American princi-
ples, American policies; We
could stand for np others. And
they are also the principles and
policies of forward looking men
and women everywhere of every
modern nation, of every enlight-
ened community. They are the
priciples of mankind and must
prevail.”
The President after his address
said: “I have said what every-
body has been longing for, but
has thought impossible. Now i t
appears to be possible.”
While the President was speak*
ing copies of his address had
been forwarded to American dip-
lomats in all the belligerant
countries for the information of
the foreign offices and were be-
ing prepared for representatives
of neutral governments here.

It has always been recognized
that the most effective aid one
can get is that which enables
him to help himsolf.
Some critics of the Federal
Farm Loan Act have charged
that this act makes it too easy
for farmers to get into debt, and
that there will be a tendency to
borrow.
A careful reading of the bill
will show that this objection is
met by very carefully limiting
the use to which the borrowed
money may be put and by the
requirement that farmers gradu-
ally each year must reduce their
indebtedness.
The Farm Loan Act was de-
signed to be helpful to the farm-
er of average operations who
has heretofore been dennied
adequate credit. It wisely limits
the loans to 50 per cent of the
appraised value of the security,
because this limitation makes
the security of a high character,
thus satisfying the investor, and
therefore results in a lower rate
of interest.
The-use of the money is care
fully limited to the purchase 6
land, to pay off existing indebt-
edness, to purchase live stock, or
make any productive improve-
ment such as fencing, drainage,
buildings and machinery.
When money can be borrowed
cheaply for productive use, a
mortage becomes an investment
rather than a handicap. The
farmer is enabled to get money
to put his land to better use, so
that the profits of his invest-
ment will pay off his indebted-
ness. Hereafter judicious bor-
rowing on the part of the farmer
will be regarded as a business
enterprise, jqst as it is now con-
sidered beneficial for large com-
mercial institutions to borrow.
The Farm Loan Act creates a
form of indebtedness which
peculiarly fits the farmers needs.
It recognizes that the farming
business is one of slow returns.
So, it provides that a mortage
made under the act shall be paid
on the amortization or install-
ment plan through a long or
short period of* .years. The
mortages may be made to run
from five to forty years, at the
option of the borrower, and they
must be paid off, interest and
principal, in equal installments in good style. In t’
through the period of the loans.
Permission is given to pay all the madam came
of the loan or any part of it on or thought she
pavin'*d*“ ““‘.’T. h*
extinguish, in the period indicat-
ed, a $1,000 loan bearing interest
at 6 per cent.
Term years— At 6 per cent

25....... 78.28
30.. ............_!7—~ 72.65
35..................... 68.97
40.. ...... 66.46
So it will be seen that the
Farm Loan Act, in addition to
providing a way for the farmer
to borrow to the limit of safety,
provides that he must put his
borrowed money to productive
uses, and furnishes the machin-
ery to get him out of debt in an
honorable and business-like way.
The, Farm Loan Act helps the |||
farmer by placing within his®M
grasp the means to help himselfJ
It makes for business initative
and independence.—By FrankR.
Wilson, of the Federal Farmi
Loan Bureau, Washington, D. C.

There were some home com-i
ings during the Christmas holi-
days, among them were Arthur
and Miss Minnie Riddle.
Miss Goldy Calloway visited
homefolks from Sweetwater,
Texas.
Lee Freeman and family, visit-
ed at Mr. Colgin’s, being on
their way from CarlBbad, New
Mexico, to Mercedes, where they
will loeate. The Freemans left
years ago. Their friends were
glad indeed to meet them again.
There are very few oats grow-
ing in this community. The rea-
son for the failure perhaps is the
loss last winter of considerable
acreage on account of the cold
and the dry fall.
Tom Manns came near losing
a fine horse recently, but the
timely coming of Dr. Long of
Teague saved the animal. The
horAe was lately bought by Mr.
Manns.
There has been some interest-
ing happenings in Mrs. Hearon’s
fowl house in the last few weeks.
Three nice hens have been killed
and partly eaten by some kind
of varmint. Poison was put out
and also a steel trap set without
success. The intruder came
earlier one evening just after
the family had retired. And
there was a great commotion
among the fowls. Two parties
hastily dressed and went with
lantern and shotgun to see vv
the trouble was, and be)
