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 Col. Moore Eledted Senator Col. J. B. Moore, of Baxley, was nominated as state senator from the third district in last Tuesday’s primary. Col. Moore married Miss Ethel Walthall, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. F. L. Walthall of this city. 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 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. ATLANTA WAREHOUSE CO. ASA G. CANDLER, President.
