Bankers Say Ttiey Lend More
Money on Property When
Buildings Are Well Painted.
AN INDICATION OF THRIFT.

Every Five Year*.
Doe* It pay to pnlnt carefully farm
buildings? Does It add to the selling
value of a farm when buildings are
properly kept up and regularly paint
ed? A careful Inquiry of a number of
leading bankers In the Mississippi val
ley, Including such states us lowa, Illi
nois, Michigan, Ohio, Indlnna and Mis
souri, revests the fsct tlist In nearly
•very case the bunkers did not hesi
tate to say that they would lend all the
way from 6 to 60 per cent more on
land where fnrm building* wer* well
painted and kept In good condition.
They maintain that well kept-up and
well painted buildings and fence* are
•n Indication of thrift and that the
thrifty farmer la a good client, and to
him money can -fiesafely louned. An
average of the returna from these
bankers shows thst the Incressed loan
value because of painted building* la
around 22 per cent
Rome of these bankers make Inter
esting comment A Michigan concern
■ays that, while not especially pre
pared to advise detinltcly In response
to this Inquiry, the ofllrers would loan
more money on fsruis where buildings
were painted then where they wore
not so treated. This bank also flnda
that where liouaes, barns and fence*
are well taken care of the farm la a
profitable proposition, and bankers In
general consider the farmer a good
client Another Michigan bank says
"farm building* out of repair and
needing paint indicate that the owner
la alow pay." Such farms ere rated at
about one-third of the assessed value
to r loans. Where the farm buildings
•re In good shape the rating Is one
halt. The president of a middle west
ern bank says tliut when real estate
loan* are considered, pnlnted building*
•re always taken into consideration In
making an estimate. The general ap
pearance of the property aurroundlng
the house and barn and alao the fields
and fence* would be carefully observ
ed. He further say* that he has no
hesitancy In saying thnt be would.ab
solutely refuse a loan on farms where
the buildings were not kept np and
well painted. In his Judgment un
palnted farm buildings would reduce
the loan value at least 2.1 per cent
A Minnesota banker say* that h* Is
■rod) more wljllng to loan money
where ths buildings are well painted.
In his particular case he believe* thnt
he would loan 20 per cent more than
If the building* were not properly
taken care of. A fnrtner who will
keep bis building* painted tnkes a
much deeper Interest ,n his work than
one who does not Another Minne
sota bank says that well painted build
ings have resulted In tecurlng from
hi* bank sometimes a* high as 23 per
cent more money than where the
buildings are not painted. An Ohio
concern says that It will loan 23 per
cent more money on a well kept farm
where buildings are painted at least
once every live years. A southern Illi
nois bank says that It has no fixed
rule about this, but It does make a de
cided difference when owner* of farm
lands apply for loans. If the buildings
are well painted and thus well pre
served the loan rate would not only
bo cheaper, but the amount of money
borrowed would be larger. A northern
Illinois bank does not hesitate to say
that It would loan fully 60 per cent,
more on a farm where buildings were

The Missouri mule was in the war
long before the Missouri soldier en
tered It The declaration of war was
made for liim In 1914, two years and a
half before Pershing and the thou

orders to wheel Into line. He had made
a brilliant record there before their ap
pearance. But, according to the Lon
don advices, he seems to have felt the
Impulse of Missouri behind hlni at the
last, for It Is written: "The mule
shared In the big British advances on
the western front this fall and proved
his grit and worth by keeping right op
with the rapidly advancing artillery."
That Is a Missouri characteristic.
