The Farm Loan Case.
Tbo Constitutionality of tho Act of Con-
Kross creating tho Farm Loan Bank sys
tem, which was raised in a proceed
ing brought by a group of bnnkors
more than a year ago, Ims not yet boon
passed upon by the IJ. B. Supreme Court,
to which tribunal tho issue was carried
on appeal. Tho ImnkorB contend that
the Farm Loan Act is a transgression
of all the rights and privileges reserved
to tho several States and to individuals
under tho Constitution. That tho ques
tion seems to have perplexed our highest
• tribunal is indicated in a report from
Washington that, tho court is deadlocked
in its efforts to roach a decision, four
of tho Justices standing for an affirm
ative judgment and four against., while
Justice Brandois is non-committal, not
having participated In tho henrings. For
thoso reasons a roargumont was naked
by tho court, which was heard on Oct.
14 and IS. Thin brings up tho question
lignin, and tho final outcome hangs on
tho court’s decision clearing up tho fol
lowing points—
1. Are the Farm Loan Banks really
banks, doing an actual banking business,
and, thoroforo, a proper part of tho Gov
ernment’s financial system, or are tlioy
aimply an agoncy for loaning money at
low rates of interest to farmors, im
properly masquerading as "banks?”
2. Is any publio purpose,,within- tho
meaning of tho Constitution, served by
tho operation of such "banks?”
3. Do Fodoral loans to farmors through
the Farm Loan system constitute class
aid, in tlmt tlioy bouofit farmors only,
or are tlioy of general public, bonofit by
tlio stimulus they give to ugrlculturo und
tho production of foodstuffs?
4. Is tho rotation of an agency to loan
inonoy to farmers juHtiflod under tho
powers of appropriation grunted Con-
gross by the Constitution?
In the monntimo, because of tho cloud
cast on tho bonds of the Farm Loan
nystom by tho ponding litigation, it lias
boon impossible to mnrkot thoso securi
ties, and tho wholo Farm Lonn machinery
is brought virtually to a standstill.
Through a now line of nrgumont de
veloped by formor Supremo Court Justleo
Charles 13. Hughes, plondlng tho case
of tho Farm Loan Banks boforo tho court,
hopes for a verdict sustaining tho Con-
ntitutlonnlity of tho Federal Farm Lonn
Banks have considerably brightonod,
Hughes argued that if Congress has the
power to appropriate money directly as
n gift to assist agriaulturo, it loglonlly
follows that it Ims power to advnnco
inonoy for the same purpose ns a lonn;
that if Congress can appropriate inonoy
for tho farmer, it cn« raiso that money
through tho Treasury by tho salo of or
dinary Government bonds. This nnglo
of tho attack rather stumped attorneys
for tho private banks, according to tho
Washington report, who protested vo-
hoinontly that Judge Hughes had sprung
aoraothing now and never hoard boforo—
something that ho had not advanced at
tho prior nrgumont of tho ease, and hod
'®von failed to incorporate in his revised
briof.

"PAY-UP-WEEK.”
Coweta citizens nro glad tho Chnmbor
of Commerco is to havo such a week;
but it is possible Unit there are some
features oonnoetod with it that tho sec
rotary hasn’t thought of. To make a
success of a tiling you must bogin at tho
beginning—relievo tho situation at tho
first round of tho bidder. Had yon
thought that tho farmer credits Mother
Hurthf lie lends her his savings in tho
purchase of land, and each year he crod
its her with a full year’s labor—not
nix or eight hours per day, but from sun
‘to sun, and sometimes by moonshine.
'Then when Mother Earth’s account is
•duo she 1ms nothing to pay with. Now
tell me .through the columns of our bo
loved county paper how is the chain
■of debts to bo relieved? If the fanners
had full crops they would bravely boor
their share of the burden caused by tho
■drop in prices, deeming it nothing but
right. Their wives and daughters are
.jmst as willing to sacrifice pleasures and
■comforts os the merchants are. Farmers
wives will do their share, as willingly as
tho merchants to put Coweta couuty
forward; that wns well demonstrated at
■our county fair. Now, with crops cut
'two-thirdB, and the price one-half, toll
us farmers how to collect from our
debtor, Mother Earth. If tho merchant
■would be willing to carry his part .of
the burden caused by the short crop, nnd
•allow 40 cents for cotton on all accounts,
you would see overy fanner in tho couuty
load his wagon and carry in every bate
be had and let it go as far as it would
‘toward paying his debts, and ilia family
"Would gladly sacrifice every fond hops
‘they had cherished for a whole year of
comforts and ploaaurea for the home—
■be glad to lay it all on the altar of
-debt to help relieve tho situation. Every
fanner’s wife is a loyal citison of Cow-
eta—don’t make any mistake about that

More than 87,000 graduate nureea
havo been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and its department
of nursing Is daily increasing this en
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorised to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. It will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which it has as
signed more than 1,000 nurses in the
last year, ,
It will assist in establishing proper
nurBlng sorvlce in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy a short while ago
has been put ahead at least a decade
through the work of the department
of nursing and local Rod Oross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex
tended to many rural communities and
now flourishes actively In hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand .efficient nurses have already
boon assigned to this kind of work.
The department of nursing la unit
ing with other organisations In a year’s
campaign in recruiting nurees for
training schools, in educating the gen
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing. It will endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrollment of dietitians who will be
utilized as Instructors in home dietet
ics, in developing nutritional clinics,
and in supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
nnd the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity of securing instruction in
homo hygiene and care of the sick in
every community In the country. This
Instruction has not only laid the foun
dation for public health but In some
places has given impetus to the estab
lishment of hospitals and community
school houses,
“As a community profits by the work
of tho nuree," says Miss Clara D,
Noyes, director of the department of
nursing, “it Is logical that the com
munity should be aroused to its respon
Blblllty. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help In a general cam.
palgn of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well as
the Intelligent co-operation of tha
people at large.”
Spanish crops this year are far above
tho average.
