jJM WHili 'I 111 I HI IIWIIIIMI CDITORJAL Joseph Peele, Acsocirte Editor. "WE THANK YOU" , We were aliiu,.t overwhelmed this morning by the local news pent in to The Advance ollice. Uur friend? bave certainly taken notice of our request for these items and their in terest in us and their effort in our behalf is most heartily appreciated. With telegraphic and local news tooth on our hands some item at tome time may be necessarily or Inadvertently omitted. But what Is left out one day poes In the next -gad gives us a good start on next day'i paper. So, through the help Of Its. friends, The Advance gets bet ter all the time. An Item of local newg chronicling the approachig advent int0 the city Of a new Industry wns sent to th out of town dailies for which the editor of The Advann is correnpon dent and found place in at least four Of them. lUniH relative to the jjrusiess or your town, if sent in to The Advance, will ti0 given nihil- Clt7 In every corner of the old North State and In VliK'nla as well. unce m a while a merchant, in pjder to test the rnlii(j of advertis ing, will ma!e an offer for a"1imitp! time of some article at a price rhich means a loss to him on every sale. Be on the wnMi for these test ads' and save money. mi i iiie disasters and floods of the weBierii part or the state serve, to remind us cg;iln of the Kood fortune that placed us in th0 midst of this land of security and plenty. All us snoum quit wondering what will become of tlie cotton crop if it doesn't stop riiiinK lmd take ilm to he plad of the wi fortune we liave had. Once in a wl ile it looks like a f t low is able to fool till th( peoi 'e nil the time, but sooner or laler the blip conies and sotnebo-.ty see.H him In his true liu'at. And t!,0 longer tlie downfall of sin imposttr ic deKiytd, the harder he hits when it comes. ON ADVERTISEMENTS Carolyn Wells in always entertain ing and after all, how many of us, Including the editor and the mem bers of his payroll, feel this way a bout it?

It is in the advertising column: that you will find much of the news of the business growth of your com munity. To keep up with this be comes you if you are worthy of the section that you get your living out of. . . . Ait Besides you should read the adver tlseraents in your home paper be cause the time spent will be worth your while from a llnancial stand point. Not only will you find advtr- tiesements of special bargains which are repeated seldom in a season but by measuring thP merchant by his advertisement yon can see ho well he keps li s worj and et gooa idea ct nis tit-pendaldlity ami of the kceness of his sons" of honor I' inally, by reading advertisement you are doing your part to encour ae the merchants to advertise in your home paper and there by help Ing to build it up.W'e d0 not beliove thut there Is one thing more .needed in Elizabeth City than a conserva tive, dependable, conscientious and 'financially strong newspaper. If you believe that The Advance, in its five years of service to thl3 city and section, has shown promise of de veloping into that "ort cf newspa per vou could adopt no better plan to Insure its succpb than by a de termination to read Its advertise- merits. Spile of the struggle and the strain of a tive ye1' r effort to get solid Sround under our feet as a news-T'-ipr tn Kliziheth City, we have cover cone around whi'iinc; rmt Jier pin i f"r lcsiii lL,s or f-ir support of any sort .

COMPARISONS ARE COIOUS The little town of Whiteville, the county seat of Columbus county, when the appeal for help for the flood Buffers i" the upper part of the state reached it, cot busy nn,i by the thorough work of the Indies of the town raised one hundred dollars an a little bit more, whiehvas im mediately sent to the rroprr author It'es and was available f r the relicr wrk by Thursday of Inst week.

Land Bank Is Boom To Farmers (Continued' From Page One) llnal approval. If the farmer's rote is approved by. the FederH Land Bmk. l"cs Home one b'lid money t0 this farm er? No, the bani Bank takes 'he inrtsa-je note along with s'mil; notes from other farmers, which. nil together.- mnv nmount to tnous- finds of dollars and sefely keeps them as security tor bonds. These bonds the Land Bank sells to the investors who wish to lend money on the very best security. The mon ey thus received is given over by the Land Bank to the National Farm Loan Association, which In turn hands out the funds to their borrowers. The Borrower Stockholder In Hit Own Cred Society. rv - 7.TT 7tt TitT rA a a ZvZu ZuZu 2tiZtT Lui why must a farmer who wish t-3 to i)oi row occome a member oi a .National Farm Loan Association? This society, to approve his loan and indorse his tot?, must be finan dally responsible. The borrower, to become a member, must take one share of stock of five dollars and In vests It In another share of stock In the Federal Land Bank of his dis trict. The farmer's investment in stock then becomes a guarantee to the Land Bank that the National Farm Loan Association use all nee essary care in approving of loans and In seeing that the money ij stnt for the purposes for which it was borrowed. The farmer receives a dividend upon his stock as a return on his Investment, which is expected to re dime the ost of the loan. The inter est eharsre. cannot be made more more than six per rent. Tic does not however have to use his own mon ev to buv the stock; be is perm lit. ed to use some of the money he her rows for that purpose With LlmitPd Liability Docs the farmer not become lia ble for other people's debts by he coming a member of a National Loan Asscciation? No, in the first place, every debt is amply secured by mortgage. The mortgage can only cover fifty per cent of the value of the land and twenty per cent of the value of the insured im proyenients. The stock is additional security, which makes the ownej liablo for onlv twice the par value of the stock: that is. for live dcllars in addition to e-ich five dollar share of stock, or. altogether, ten dollar? lor every hundred dollars borrowed The liability of the farmer as a stockholder in a National Farm loan Assoclat'rn Is the same as if he wrc a stockholder in a national bank. Monev ran only be borrowed for productive purposes, such e.s to pur chase lmd, to improve and equip a farm an,i to pay del ta of farmers who offer as security the lmd which they already or will themselves cul tivate. Tt is the duty of the National Farnie Lean Association to see that a'l loans are expended for tV pur poses st't'Ml In the nnnlicitifn for the loans. The Work of Nr.tional Farm Loan Associalin and Credit Unions Compared. The woili (i a National Farm Loan As o. -lat ion is in no way in conflict with that of the Credit l liion as In orperatod under the laws cf North Carolina. A National Farm i.o m Association lends for not !e,s t li ti live years' time nor more than forty, while the Credit Union lvttor make its loans fr a hout a year. They both may lend for equipment and fertilizer but the loans for equipment and supplies made by a National Farm Lo-in As) sodation would be for starling ) farm and for i's operation during the first year, while a Credit ITnio.J would IliKUUe the operation -of a farm during off years. It would be needless for a farmer to borrow a hundred dollars from n National Farm Loan Assoclat'on for five years for fertilizer or for farm machinery which he might be expected to qiay In six months or a year. A farmer who should borrow e nough to buy land and to finance the operation of the farm for the first, year mteht he ablo to get n lone fill right for that yenr ard long thereafter as rrops should be tonfl urd prices preying.
