THE NEW RURAL CREDITS
LAW IN BRIEF
The act provides for the crea
tion of twelve Federal land banks
and permits the establishment of
any number of joint stock land
banks for the purpose of making
loans at a reasonable rate of in
terest, for long periods of time
on farm lands.
A Federal Farm Loan Board
has complete control over these
banks.
Twelve Federal land banks are
provided, one in each of the
twelve districts into which the
country will be divided. These
banks are empowered to lend on
first moatgages on farm lonns in
amounts of SIOO to SIO,OOO for
approved purposes. The loans
are to be made through farm
load associations and agents. No
loan may be made for more than
50 percent of the value of the
land mortgaged and 20 percent
of the value of the permanent
insured improvements on it.
National Farm Loan Associa
ciations—local organizations com
posed exclusively of borrowers—
are authorized. These associa
tions must be stock-holders in
the land banks in proportion to
the amount their members wish
to borrow. Eventually all stock
in the Federal land banks will be
owned exclusively by these asso
ciations.
A reasonable interest rate is
established. The act prohibits
the Federal land banks from
chorging more than 6 per cent
on ony mortgage, or requiring
fees not approved by the Farm
Loan Board.
The borrowers will share in
the net profits of the bank be
cause they are stockholders. It
is contemplated that ultimately
the borrowers will be the only
stockholders.
Long term loads are provided
for by authorizing mortgages
for periods of from 5 up lo 40
years.
Small annual or semi-annual
payments on the principol are
made a required feature of all
mortgages.—The Progressive
Farmer.
EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury ; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put
into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out
and believe you need a dose of
dangerous calomel just remember
that your druggist sells for 50
cents a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone, which is entirely veg
etable and pleasant to take and
is a perfect substitute for calo
mel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and cannot salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes
you sick the next day; it loses
you a day’s work. Dodson’s Liv
er Tone straightens you right up
and you feel great. Give it to
the children because it is perfect
ly harmless and doesn’t gripe, ad

SEPTEMBER 30TH WORK
DAY FOR THE ORPHANS
Thornwell Orphanage Asks to
Be Remembered
The custom has grown up of
having one day in the year set
aside as Orphan Work Day. That
means that all friends of the
orphans work on that day and
whatever they make, they send
to various denominational orphan
ages. More and more the cus
tom has spread until now it
means a great deal to the orphan
ages.
This year. Sept. 30 is Orphan
age Work Day.
Whatever you make on that
day, if you are a Presbyterian,
should be sent to Thornwell Orph
anage, Clinton, S. C., for it is
the Presbyterian Orphanage of
Georgia, Florida, and South Car
olina. Many children, fatherless
and motherless, are there from
your State, and they are being
trained in hand, head and heart.
If it were not for Thornwell Or
phanage they would not get this
training.
Will you not then set yourself
to work on the 30th, and get oth
ers to work, and send that days
income to your little brothers
and sisters, who must be cared
for, and whom you love to help?
Send what you make to Thorn
well Orphanage, Clinton, S. C.,
where there are 300 orphan boys
and girls being given a Christsan
training.

You Want Pleasant Dreams—
No matter whether you’re hunting a real market
for your cotton or are going to hold it indefinitely—
you don’t want it to burn up some fine night mean
while, or be stolen, or get mildewed and lose grade.
You want to know it’s SAFE. Maybe if you lost
it the blow would hit you pretty hard.
Every fall the newspapers tell of cotton losses by fire,
day after day. Half the time it’s a matter of no insur
ance. But they’ll never tell you of any fire loss or any
other kind of loss here in our warehouse.
In the first place, the warehouse itself couldn’t burn. It’s built
of reinforced and floors and ceilings and all. And
in the second place, . what’s in it couldn’t burn. The contents
are protected by high pressure automatic sprinklers, automatic
electric alarms, chemical fire extinguishers, trained and vigilant
watchmen, unwinking supervision, night and day the year ’round.
That’s why we get and give you the lowest fire insurance rate in
the world on cotton.
As for danger of loss by theft or deterioration in weather—
they’re simply not to be considered by us.
Our charges per bale are these AND NO MORE: Handling in
and out, 10 cents; storage per month, 25 cents; insurance per
month, 2 cents. That’s enough profit for us because we do busi
ness on a big scale. We can store a quarter of a million bales of
cotton and still have room for lots of miscellaneous stuff.
Also, we work a Webb high density compress, which mashes
cotton so solid as to save you money on freight charges.
You get the advantage of all these things, PLUS our
free service in securing loans, PLUS ALSO our free serv
ice (on the basis of two monLhs’ storage) in finding you
a top o’ the market buyer when you’re ready to sell.
Your dreams will be pleasant when your cotton’s
with us.
