REPORT GF EXPEBTS
TO BE SIGil FOR
NEW PARIS OFFER
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News—Copyright, 1924.)
PARIS, Feb. 13.—Reliable informa
tion confirms the report that France
intends to make the reporting of the
experts the occasion for a new repa
raticns conference.
In this conference France is pre
paring to make certain concessions
but she will still hold to the funda
mental policy that the Ruhr can be
evacuated only against actual pay
ments or equivalent guarantees.
Concessions which France might
be construed as tending to allow
Germany if the latter really accepts
the new reparations agreement,
would be economic use of the entire
territory, except that the Rhineland
and Ruhr railways would remain
nominally under the administration
of the allies.
For this purpose France is willing
to transform the present Franco-
Belgian collection machinery into
full inter-allied collection machinery
and integrate this machinery care
fully with the. whole German eco
nomic organism.

miles below Dover, by Sheriff L. L.
Ellis, of this county, and a pesge.
Hall was armed with a single-bar
reled shotgun, but f offered no re
sistance.

pants of the boat. Hall was brought
here and locked up awaiting the ar
rival of the Mongtomery county au
thorities.
Hall, convicted of the murder cf
Frank Perige, with mitigating cir
cumstances and given a life sen
tence, was in jail pending the per
fecting of his appeal to the supreme
court, when he and two other prison
ers overpowered the turnkey in the
Clarksville, jail, took the jail keys,
bound and gagged the turnkey, and
locked him in Hall’s cell. Hall's
companions were recaptured short
ly afterward. A reward of SIOO was
outstanding for Hall’s recapture.

Farmers! Here Is Your Own
Borrowing and Investing System
THROUGH the twelve Federal Land Banks, farmers own
and operate a huge national co-operative borrowing and
investing business. Already, these Banks have resources of
over $880,000,000! They are supported by more than 4,500
local National Farm Loan Associations with a membership of
nearly 300,000 farmers.
After paying the costs of operation and setting aside neces
sary reserves, all profits are returned to the borrowing farmers
through their local associations. To date, over $7,000,000 has
been paid as dividends.
A Federal Land Batik mortgage need never fall due. It Is gradually
retired by the semiannual payment of a uniform sum, equal to the in
terest on the amount borrowed plus M of 1% of the loan. For example,
the farmer with a mortgage of SI,OOO at 6% pays $35 every six months.
This includes the interest and a payment on the principal sufficient to
cancel the loan in about 33 years,
When You Have Money To Invest
Every farm family should support their co-operative Farm Loan System
by investing in Federal Land Bank Bonds. This can be started with a single
Bond —s4o, SIOO, SSOO, SI,OOO, $5,000 or slo,ooo—and increased as tne
money can be spared. These bonds are safe. No investor in them has ever
lost a dollar. They are free from all taxes, except inheritance taxes. This
applies to both principal and interest.
Should you need money quickly, these Bonds command a ready market,
or your banker will accept them as security for a loan.
You can buy these Bonds from any Federal Land Bank or from the
Fiscal Agent at Washington, D. C, The Bonds will be sent by registered
mail. All correspondence confidential. Remember that the words “The
Federal Land Bank” appear at the top of every Bond issued by a Federal
Land Bank.
Write todav for “Federal Farm Loan Board Circular No. 16.” It's free.
If you desire a Federal Farm Loan, apply to the Secretary-Treasurer
of the nearest National Farm Loan Association. Ask your County Agent
for his address.
