T HE BARTOW TRIBUNE HIM CREDIT BANK FORMALLY LAUNCHED Officers Chosen And Mon ey At Five*Per Cent In Prospect. At a meeting called by C. C. Pittman, the temporary organization of a Nat ional Farm Loan Association for Bar tow county farmers, met last Tuesday and permanently organized, elected of ficers, adopting by-laws and selecting a name for the association to be known as Cartersville National Farm Loan Association. The following directors were elected by the association: T. S. Hawkins, R. A. Milner, J. C. Fink, W. D. Davidson and W. W. Galaway and in turn the e directors elected T. S. Hawkins, presi- j dent; R. A. Milner, vice-president: L. i W. McKelvy, W. M. Carlisle and W. W. i Calaway, appraisers and C. C. Pittman secretary-treasurer. Out of the farmers present, fifteen applied for loans through this associa tion and since the time of meeting several others have signed applica tions for loans, bringing the total amount applied for up to $35,000. Other farmers desiring to borrow money through this association will see Mr. Pittman at once, as the appraisers eon templatae visiting every applicant’s farm in the next few days. "When the appraisers have made their reports, the federal government will send an appraiser to inspect each farm and confirm or reject the apprais ment made by the local appraisers. After government inspection is made the granting of a charter is next in order and the funds applied for will be forthcoming soon thereafter. It is now practically assured that the interest rate on these loans will be 5 per cent per annum and it is being advised by the Farm Loan Rank of Columbia that the time of the loans applied for shall be 56 years, since it is figured that an additional 1 per cent interest payment over this period, will pay off the loan. In other words, by paying 6 per cent interest on the amount borrowed for 36 years, the principal amount is paid off. The time limit is from 5 to 40 years, with the privilege of paying the whole amount at any interest bearing date, after 5 years, and 36 years is suggested as a standard period as it simplifies calcu lations. Under the old system of borrowing money our farmers have been paying 8 per cent interest, beside an addi tional amount to an agent for secur ing their loans. Under the government system a 6 per cent rate will not only pay the interest, but will pay the prin cipal also, and there are no commis sions to be paid fn>- the securing of the loan. Most of the work necessary to the organization and continuation of the Cartersville Association falls open the secretary-treasurer, and it seems tha L the source of his compen sation will be in providing abstracts ot title to the farms of the members of the association, it being agreed by all members present that every officer should inter heartily into a plan of strict economic co-operation, until the associataion is thoroughly in opera tion. It is gratifying that Bartow county is to have such an organization as this and believed that it will introduce a new financial system that will not only bo of ine-timiable value to the farmer, but will benefit every class of busi ness that is touched by the farmers’ interest and prosperity.

The following telegram has been re ceived at the U. S. Naval Recruiting Station, 514 P. O. Building, Atlanta, Ga., from the Naval Department: “Thirty-eight thousand, five hundred additional men are needed immediate ly to fill Navy’s emergency comple ment. A quota of twelve hundred has been assigned to this station to be supplied by April twentieth.” The naval service offers great ad vantages to any young man who enters it in that he is fed and clothed, well paid and given opiiortunities of travel which will furnish him with the best education obtainable. In these times when our country needs the services cf citizens upon its battleships and other departments both .patriotism and individual opportunity are emerg ed in this cause by our government, and it is hoped that on April 20th that the twelve hundred men needed at the Atlanta station will have been secured and more than that- will offer their services and that Bartow county will come up with its traditional history in such emergencies and repeat what it lias done in times before when our country calls for men SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION AT EAST SIDE BAPTIST CHURCH The following is program of Sunday School Convention to be held at the F:: : Side Baptist church, April 15: 1:30.

NEW CITY HALL COMPLETED SOON Will Be Ready For Occu pancy With in F our Weeks. Within from four to six weeks time Cartersville s new city hull will be a completed structure and the contrac tor, Mr. E. W. Smith, expects to be able to permit occupancy of the build ing by the first of May. x lie bad weather has delayed the ysv.iK on this building very materially and even now as keeping the workmen from lay r ing a concrete foundation for a tile floor with which the building is li. lie Burnished. The fixtures are pret ty well in place and the interior pre sents .a very attractive view even now tc those passing through. The.doors are being hung and moulding and wainscoting put on, and with the erec tion of a staircase from the first to the second story and the tile floor laid, the building would stand inspection now. Commodious quarters are given each department of the city government ! and these will be furnished in keeping with the character of the building. On the first floor the city clerk and treas urer, of course, will have his office, as will the mayor, fire department and other officers to be designated. The commissioners’ chamber in the second story where the public meetings will be held is an attractive room in the front part of, the building. A railing separates the commissioners them selves from the spectators and public. Seats will be arranged here so specta tors and those having business to bring before the regular meetings will he comfortably accommodated. The lighting fixtures throughout the building are being installed and when completed the entire structure finished and furnished will cost approximately $20,01)0. It will then be a building in which the city can take pride and will equal, if not excel, any building of like character in any city of like size. The contractors and workmen are exercising every energy to make a turn over job of the proposition within the next five or six weeks and within a weak’s time the debris about the building will be moved so that the pub lic can get a general view of the archi tectural and general lines of the build ing. PEXALL STORES MAY BECOME RECRUITING STATIONS. With an organization embracing seven thousand stores throughout the United States, the United Drug Com pany, popularly known as the Rexall Company, has tendered to Secretary ci War Baker the use of these stores throughout the United States as re el uiting stations. These stores are lo cated In 5,969 towns and cities and are in every stat"' and territory of the United States. It is, therefore, made possible to reach immediately all of these stores and arrange for the open ing of enlistment bureaus therein. If the government sees fit to accept the proposal made, the Rexall store here, conducted by Mr. M. F. Word, would be a recruiting or enlistment station, and those who contemplate volunteering their services to the gov ernment will very probably have an opportunity to do so as soon as the government finally acts upon the ten der made by the United Drug Com pany of their stores throughout the country. The offer made by this great remedy company is patriotic and generous, and both with reference to its inten tion and its actual usefulness will ren der valuable service to the country in that its organization is very extensive and the stores well conducted and cen trally located in each community.

The resolution declaring that a state of war existed between the United States and Germany passed the United States Senate Wednesday night by a vete of 82 for to 6 against. The resolu tion now goes to the house of repre sentatives and will likely be passed Thursday. Senator LaFollette spoke for three hours against the resolution but only succeeded in bringing down upon his own head the fiercest of denunciation Lorn senators favoring it and Senaior V illiams of Mississippi was particu larly scathing in his criticism of the Wisconsin senator. After its passage by the house Pres ident Wilson will have received the authority necessary to enable him to bring tile nation to arms and from now the most, active preparations will be made for financing the nation, mobil izing troops, increasing the-national guard and army by enlistments and making war on the sea. A tremendous amount of supplies will have to be purchased and the na tion will at once throw itself ui>on the side of the allied European nations in humbling the German government. It is believed that 2,000,000 can be made ready for training for military service. The president will he the com mander in chief, under the constitu tion of the United States, and detailed p’ans have been worked out by army officers for'bringing into being such an a'-my. Contracts for 200 submarine chasers ir. believed to have been entered into by the navy department, while the coast patrol will be greatly increased. Indication® i>otnt to an intention to build up a fighting machine composed exclusively of men in their twenties I and each man free from home respon | sibilities. A perfect military plan Is to I be submitted and must be adopted if we are effective is the statement of army officers. Registration of all single men be tween the fixed ages will be a big task. To expediate this the co-operation of the state and municijial authorities will be sought. Probably workers in trades and pursuits whose continued labor Is needed to keep the country supplied with needed products will not be call ed upon, even it otherwise equipped. The news of the government’s de termination found a ready and sympa thetic response in Bartow county and the men will be found to be patriotic volunteers' in the service. On every side can be seen American flags and the national spirit of the people was never more manifest. DAVE VAUGHAN SUFFERS AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. Mr. Dave Vaughan met with a pecu liar accident last Thursday from which he suffered a broken leg and wrenched hip. Mr. Vaughan had driven in a car to Canton and was returning over a somewhat rough road and down a grade and at this particular time at a point in the road upon the sides of w'hich were embankments the car was stripped, and a root of a tree or some obstruction extending from the bank struck Mr. Vaughan's leg at a time when he was examining a broken gear rod. In striking the obstruction his leg v as thrown against the car and mad© fast when the root passed on and broke his leg. Mr. Vaughan was brought to his home and his injury attended by Dr. W. B. Vaughan and Dr. R. E. Wilson, o' White, who made a successful set t ’ng of the limb and he is now making progress and is as comfortable as could be expected under the circum stances.
