ABNORMAL ABSURDITIES By ' D WIGHT NICHOLS et *1 SHOP TAIift— The OpimLst "Upon this plot il'll build a store" Says Jones, with honest pride; "I'll build an architectural dream And to success I'll glide. "I'll put in all my savings, From out my trusty sock; "I'll make it safe from . every storm By building on a rock. "The walls will gleam in spotless white, The floors will shine like glass; The front will show the newest wares To all the folks who pass." Jones built his store, as he pro claimed, 'Twas beautiful to the eye; But no one came to buy his wares As quickly folks sped by. Jones grew greatly worried, As merchants sometimes do; And sought a friend of many years To think this problem through. "You've built a mighty pretty place," Said the friend, in sober voice; "And stocked it up' with lovely things, That show most careful choice. "But one thing you have over looked. In this monument you've wrought; And that's an advertising pro gram, Telling patrons what you've got!' » Poor Jones looked strangely puz-' zled, rhe tears in his eyes did blot; 'You know kind friend, I must admit, That's the thing I plumb forgot!"' —Reidsville Review.

"Long-term mortgage loans made by the Federal Land Bank of Columbia during the year end ing December 31, 1948, amount ed to $9,892 which was slightly in excess of the amount made the preceding year. Of this a mount, loans were made to farm ers in the Third Farm Credit Dis trict, as follows: North Carolina $3,219,930; South Carolina $1, 633,855; Georgia $2,790,017; Florida $2,249,043. "Nearly fifty per cent of the amount loaned was used to refin ance existing indebtedness, most ly for longer terms and at lower interest rates. Only about one fifth was used to buy farm real estate. The remainder was used to repair buildings, improve land, purchase farm machinery and livestock, for general farm ope rations, and for other purposes. "For the last three years there has been a steady decline in the amount of loan funds used for the purchase of farm land, due mainly to the higher prices. A larger amount is being used for refinancing existing indebtedness and for rehabilitating and mod ernizing property already own ed," President Scarboro reported. According to O. H. Bracey, secretary-treasurer of the North Wilkesboro National Farm Loan Association the Federal Land Bank of Columbia, like the other eleven land banks, is cooperative ly owned by the farmer-members ot the local national farm loan associations through which the loans are made; and they are here to serve every farmer, large or small, who has qualified secur ity to offer.
