The New Federal Law for re forming farm mortgage finance, now in eight will be beneficial ac cording to the extent to which pre sent or wouldbe farmers take advantage of the opportunities it offers them. Hence the sug >e? tion that farmara who wiali long time mortgage loans at a reasonable rate of intere*'. and upon easy terms of payment start at once to form their preliminary organi zation toward such purpose. By tlie time a number of the prelin}inary~organizati?n* are com. Dieted, such ss is here suggested, the federal reserve board may have been appointed. Soon thereafter it may be able to forward official instructions to each preliminary group. Then the latter may pro ceed forthwith to incorporate as a national farm loan association through which its farmers may ob tain loans readily, aa described on this page. The rreliminsry groups also may be helpful in seeing to it that the land bank districts are laid out and the land bank for each district so located as best to accommodate the farmers of the South and the whole country. Farm Credit the Best . Experience hSmshown that their credit is of tlie highest. Interest oo mortgages on farms is always paid, they are always amply se cured, and pridcipal paid when due. Not only is the security good, but it is constantly increasing in value. Wherfato in 1890 the mort gageeon southern farms were 40 per cent or more of their value, by 1910 the average amount of each mortgage had been so decreased and values had so increased that the mortgage was only about 25 per cent of the average value. In ?tlher worda, the average southern farm is worth four tubes the mort gage on It. , Farm Beada Safe To advertise facts will ly one I function of the new system. Its bonds secured by first mortgages on our good southern fiirm*, should become a most popular in vestment for small sums or large. Every individual should aim to own a federal farm loan bond, if only to the amount of $25 or more. Let these farmland bonds become the peoples savings bank. They I are tax free, safe, should be quick ly salable when cash in needed, and yeild an assured income. Many thousands df our people throughout the South now fritter away uselessly or put to losing ventures, sums of from $25 or $50 up toe $100 or $1000. If only s little.*>l the money, which now is thus more or less wasted is safely invested in A-l southern farm bonds, the money will Svay right here and will be used to build up the country. All this in addition to the cash that can be brougli'. iuto the South by the sale in the middle, central, 1 and eastern states of our Southern farm bonds. However, little de pendence should Jbe placed upon the northern market. This is another reason why our people should insist upon at least three Federal land banks in the South at Raleigh, Birmingham and Ft. Worth. Free of Tax The farmer pays the taxes upon his real estate. It cannot escape taxation. Usually it is assessed for taxation close to the figure at which it would sell. Now, if the lender has to pay a tax on tbe note or mortgage given by the fanner, the rate of interest is correspondingly increased and! tbe borrower is double te*ed Not Joietly Liable But if no tax is imposed upon I (Continued on page eight) I MEtllNGSOf MURfRtESBORO TOWN COMMISSIONERS Fbbruait Sbssion Murfreesboro, N.

State Board of HealtL Warn* Afainst Goin| on Vacation Witbont Being Vaccinated. The State Board of Health is avail) urging people not to go on their vacatioua until! they have taken the vaccine treatment againat typhoid fever. The Hoard urge* thia precaution on account of the many dangers of taking ty phoid that are likely to be met op vacation trina, tamping parties or outinge of any kind. It aa.v* that there are many more chaucee of getting the infection when travel ing and when eating and drinking at various places than at home, and that the beat and about the only safeguard against such liabil ities is the immunity to the dis ease that is to be had from the vaccine treatment. The Board says further in its warning that often what is in the beginning a bright and Jjoyous va cation is st tbe end one of sickness and sadness on account of this one unheeded precaution; that people as a usual thing don't altogether ignore this important feature of their preparation for vacation hut that they neglect it until finally for lack of time it is dissmiseed as out of the question. "Then, too," says the Board, there are people who, if the.v are going to the mountains, make themselves think thai there is lit tie or no dangor, and that their risk against it is only a minor one. And there are those who think if tliev go to the good hotels and are carefei of what and where they eat and drink that they will not be likely to meet tbe infection. But" says tbe Board, "it is against the unsuspecting nature of ty phoid and against the uncontrol able means of spreading the infec tion that make the vaccine treat ment as a protection so valuable." IN MEMORIAM. Great sorrow fell uDontlie home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Slaughter on June, 24th, when the death angel claimed their interesting and attractive little son. Arthur Leslie, after an illness of 8 weeks, aged about two year. Everything possible was done for him by loving parents, rela tives and friends, the untiring efforts of the trained nurse Miss Twiford, and his faithful physi cians Drs. Walker and Greene but on. Saturday God said "it is enough come up higher," and he fell asleep to wxke with Jesus where all is beautiful. But his short sweet life bas left a tender memory that will linger in our hearts while life shall last, so father and mother weep not for your darling but look up through your tears with an eye of faith and behold your loved one on the busom of Him who said "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of HeaveD," as Heaven is made brighter by his being there. We cannot under stand why the tender bud was snatched so suddenly from it's foud parents making their home so sad and lonely, but may they ever look to Him in faith knowing He doeth all things for the best, and may they live such lives that when the summons comes for them to enter in at the golden gate may they meet their loved one more beatiful than before, fiee from pain and suffering, clasping his llittle hands as he bids his father, mother, little sister and brother to come in. Just a tender bud plucked irom our Fathers earthly flower garden and transplanted in the garden above to bloom forever there. The funeral services wore con ducted from the home on Sunday afternoon among a very large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends, by Rev. C. L. Dowel) in a very impressive manner,?and the little body laid to rest in the Tlilrav . KIHJH HON.W.R.JOHNSON MENTIONED Walter R. Johnson, of Ahoakie Men tioned m Probable Successor to Late Judge Peebles?Others Mentioned and Friends Urging Their Ap pointment. Hon. Walter^R. Johnson, of this place, according y> n statement made in last Saturday's News and Observer, is being mentioned as al successor to the Isto Judge Robert B. Peebles, who died in a Norfolk hospital last Friday, Judc 30. Mr. Johnson's name appears along with those of G. E. -Midfeet, of Jackson, J. II. Kerr, of Warren ton, A. C. ZolliculFer. of Weldun, and ex-Judge B. B. Winborne. of Murfreesboro, Hertford County. All of these men are leaders iD their several sections and lawyers of recognized ability, learned in the law, as Dean Gulley. of Wake Forest College, would say. The friends of Midgett and Kerr call ed upon Governor Craig on last Friday to urge the appointment of :heir favorites. Mr. Johnson, who is one of our local attorneys, is a strong, able, and influential member of the bar; and the people of this town and community feel that our Governor would make a wise selection in placing our townsman on the Su perior Court bench of North Car olina. The' fact that his name has been mentioned and that his appointment is being considered is an evidence of his recognized ability and fitness for such a posi tion. As far as we have been able to ascertain, such recognition has come without the solicitation of any of his close friends, though it goes without saying that he link a host of friends who ardently de sire hit appointment. Solicitation is not at all lacking, for our people stand ready to do all they can to urge Mr. Johnson's appointment, as they believe his selection would be in keening with other appointments, and that he is on a par with the judges who are today on the bench in our state. Mr. Johnson, speaking with the writer concerning the notice in the Observer, stated that he was not making any wild scram ble for llie place, though he would welcome such a position. Mr. Johnson is not ode of the kind to use extortionate means to elevate his |K>sition. although when opnortunitv knocks he an swers the call. We say what we have not be cause of any influence has been brought to bear uoon us by the subject of this article, but because we are one-of those who believe that he would make a capable, wise, and judicious Judge. And, further, we would welcome such an appointment on the grounds of local and couhty pride. Judge Johnson, of Ahoskie? Hertford County sounds good to us. THE W. M. N. ANNUAL MEETING The W. M. N.
