Reading In the Home.
There is no better way for
parents to encourage children
to stay at home evenings than
by providing them with good
reading and set the example by
spending an hour or two after
the evening meal with books,
papers and magazines. In this
way, children train their minds
by thinking with the best writ-
ers.
There's a wealth of informa-
tion in print today and fortu-
nate are those who like to read.
Children that like to read will

Federal Farm Loan Act Is Sus-
tained.
Farmers of America are in-
debted to a democratic adminis-
tration for the farm loan bank
act, designed to assist the ag-
ricultural development of the
United States by providing
readily accessible credits to
farmers through federal land
banks.
This most meritorious meas-
ure has been declared valid by
the supreme court of the Unit-
ed States, on an appeal from
lower court decrees refusing an
injunction sought by Chas. W.
Smith, a stockholder in the
Kansas City Title & Trust Co.,
to restrain that institution from
investing its funds in the se-
curities of the land banks.
Legal representatives
Stockholder Smith contended
that the farm loan act was in-
valid “as congress had neither
the authority under the consti-
tution to establish banks or to
exempt their
state taxation.
In the ruling the court up-
held the authortiy of the gov-
ernment in both instances. Pow-
er to designate fiscal agencies
has been conceded to congress
since the days of Chief Justice
Jno. Marshall, the opinion held,
and the tax exemption provision
was a necessary protection.
This opinion is said to clear
away every legal question and
removes every shadow of ques-
tion as to the legality of the |
farm loan banks or their bonds | republicans ar(? right
