CHEAP MONEY; HOW FARMERS MAY GET IT. I believe that the Federal Farm Loan Act is the product of a master mind, and is destined to do the farm ers of this country more good than any law that ha* yet l>een enacted by congress. Briefly its machinery is as follows: U) The Federal Farm Loan Board, at Washington, of five members, nam ed by the president. (2) The Twelve Federal Banks, scattered throughout the na tion, (Ours being at Columbia, S. C.) (3) The many National Farm Loan Associations, each made up of ten or more farmers, who borrow $20,000 or more from the Federal Land Bank of their district No one except farmers, who live on their land or intend to so live may belong to such associations or borrow money through them, and they must give a first mortgage or first security deed to secure their loan. No farmer can borrow less than SIOO or more than $10,000; he must borrow his amount for from 5 to 40 years and must pay interest not to exceed 6 per cent; he must buy stock in his land bank to the extent of 5 per cent of his loan; he cannot borrow more than 50 per cent of the value of his land and 20 per cent of the value of his im provements. To illustrate: If Smith has land worth $4,000 and improve ments on same worth SI,OOO, he may borrow on the laud $2,000 and on the houses and improvements S2OO, mak ing $2,200. Five per cent of this amount or sllO must be invested in Farm Loan Bank Stock, which stock pays a dividend, like other bank stock, in proportion to the prosperity of the tank, and the stock is cashed out at par when the loan is paid off. 'A National Farm Loan Association is organized as follows: Ton or more citizens, owning land or buying land, who desire to borrow not less than $20,000 meet together and sign an application for a charter and at the same time sign an ‘‘Organ ization Certificate.” The applicants become a temporary organization and elect an agent to represent them, called a ‘‘Secretary and Treasurer.” Their agent will then receive from each of the applicants a subscription to the stock of the association, they' are forming equal to 5 per cent of the lean they desire. The application is forwarded to the Federal Farm Loan Eank of their district, and the bank / ir fZZ — 771? I I □ h " \ ?

Get a 10-cent box now. Furred Tongue, Bad Colds, Indiges iion, Sallow Skin and Miserable Head aches come from a torpid liver and flogged bowels, which cause your stomach to become filled with undi gested food, whfch sours and ferments like garbage in a swill barrel. That’s the first step to untold misery—Indi- gestion, foul gases, bad breath, yel low skin, mental fears, everything that Is horrible and nauseating. A Cas caret tonight will give your constipat ed bowels a thorough cleansing and straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist will keep you feel ing good for months. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then to keep their stomach, liver and bowels regulated, and never know a miserable moment. Don’t forget the children—.their little insides need a good, gentle cleansing, too. —(advt.) sends an agent to examine the repre sentations made in the application for charter and if found true the charter is granted. After the charter is granted to the association it operates like a corpora tion, organizes and elects officers — five directors, who in turn elect a sec retary and treasurer, a loan commit tee, a president and a vice-president. After the organization and elections are perfected the directors pass upon tl;e admission of new' members and the loan committee passes upon the value of the new member’s land and the same committee aided by the sec retary and treasurer, or some fit per son, passes upon the land title. • These associtions are being organ ized in the states and counties all over the United States. Floyd county to our west, Gordon to our north, and, I think, Cobb to our south have organiz ed such associations. Several farmers have already signi fied their desires to organize such an association in Bartow county. If I may, I shall be glad, to render further, de sired information to anyone, or aid in the organization of a National Farm Loan Association for Bartow county. C. C. PITTMAN. CHRISTMAS STORM ON THE BORDER. Fort Bliss, Texas, Dec., 28, 1916. Dear Editor: % I w'ould Like to have spent Christ inas with my friends and loved ones in and around Cartersville, but as I could not, my thoughts and best wish es, were with each and everyone. A great Christmas celebration, pre pared for the people of Fort Bliss, was spoiled late Monday when the worst wind storms yet experienced in this region descended and swept from end to end, swirling down the chimneys of the abode shacks. The wind filled the dwellings with smoke which drove officers and men in ro the open. Tents were flattened, abode houses unroofed, and hundreds of men are hatless for not realizing the force of the wind as they ventured into the open only to see their “head gear” swepted away over the mesa by the tempest. The wind rose Xmas Eve and in ci eased in violence steadily. By day light the music of the bands, which played Xmas carols, were heard only in snatches. It was impossible to see more than three feet in any direction for hours at a time. The weather is nice and warm now, and despite the fact that the best part of Xmas was spoiled the boys are having bushels of fun. A “fantastic crowd” marched through Fort Bliss today with a ‘ monkey faced” mule dressed in a red, white and blue dress. Loggias and bonnet to match the dress. The troop commander, Lieutenant Wyman, was dressed in a robe to match that of the lie’s costume, and the comical part, he was riding the mule. The band marched in front playing “Dixie.” In each regiment a big turkey din ner w r as served and the men in Mexico will long remember this Xmas. Dress ed turkey filled “64” barrels, “32” packing cases of pies and cakes, and 3,500 pounds of candy were shipped into Mexico by motor trucks for Gen. Pershing’s men. There has been a lot of deaths in the regiments of the militia caused of pneumonia which they contracted while on a hike during a blizzard. On account of thd extremely high altitude here, those that take pneumonia sel dom recover. Fifteen boys have died during the past two weeks, five died one night, at the army hospital. A girl friend near Cartersville has asked (he several questions in regard to the “soldiers’ soul welfare,” and of the army, which I will answer through The Tribune later, as space will not permit at this writing. So wishing each and everyone a very happy and prosperous New' Year, I am, MRS. JENNESS DENMAN STEWART SAYS BIG EATERS GET KIDNEY TROUBLE Take a Glass of Cold Water and Kid neco to Flush Kidneys If Back Hurts Omit All Meat From Diet If You Feel Rheumatic or Bladder Bothers The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trou ble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from over work, become sluggish; the elimina tive tissues clog and the result is kid ney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or have rheuma tism whop the weather is bad, get from your druggist about, one dozen kidneco tablets; take one with a glass of w'ater before each meal for a few days and your kidneys will then act fiDe. This famous remedy is made from perfectly harmless ingredients and acts quickly and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending blad der disorders. Kidneco is inexpensive; cannot in jure, make no mistake, insist on kid neco, it belongs in every home, be cause nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time. —(advt.)
