Policy of caACPuI Buying Washington, Aug. 30. —The people in niauy parts of the United States are Virtually in league with the profiteers, according to William Mather Lewis, director of the savings division of the treasury department, who has just returned to Washington after visiting the various federal reserve districts. "A veritable orgy of extravagant buying Is going on," he said. "The reaction from the careful use of money during war time is widespread and distributing. Retailers are securing goods from jobbers without urguing about prices, if they can only be assured of immediate delivery. They know their customers will scramble for the goods, regardless of cost. Thus, with an abnormal demand and a limit-, ed output, nothing else can be expect-' ed than high prices. It is natural, though deplorable, consequence that profiteers abound. “The people must return to the policy of careful buying and regular saving if they wish to help the situation.

Jeff Liechty, Auct. 208-t5 | THE FARMER’S OPPORTUNITY. , I Description of the method of bor- ‘ rowing money on farms on the gov- 1 ] ernment plan through the First Joint i 1 Stock Land Bank of Fort Wayne,' Ind. 1 1 The idea is to loan money on farms, 1 for longer periods than is the existing , practice now, as authorized under the < Federal Farm Loan Act, effective ' July, 1916. | ‘ This law makes it possible for the I s farmers to make money by borrow 's ing money. It is the Intention to • place money within the reach of the. , farmer on such terms as to convert I; the farm mortgage into a source of t profit. | j The money may be loaned you to , buy land for agricultural purposes, t to purchase equipment, such as teams, 1 * machinery, live stock, to provide ben- * eficial improvements, structure, til- ( ing, drainage, fencing, buildings, etc. i The money is loaned on the “amort- J ization plan” which means the paying j off of the indebtednes by install- i ments of a fixed amount, throughout < a period of years. As an example—On a loan of SI,OOO payment would be S7O a year, which i payment applies upon interest and f principal, paying off loan in 33 years. J Upon a Ten Thousand Dollar loan, ; the payment each year would be S7OO. - Borrower may pay off part or all of a loan after five years. 1 1 Loans made up to one-half of the ’ value of the land and 20 per cent of the insurable value of the improvement. I NO COMMISSION—LOANS MADE h TO BORROWER AT COST.) No restrictions are placed on the use of the money you borrow and ■ your affairs are not subject to the ( scrutiny of others. You are not worried about a renew- , al, not the trouble and expense of one j You have no uncertainty about in- S terest rates. You have liberal prepay- j ment privileges after five years. You ' do not tie up yourself or your land i Eevery payment you make reduces J your principle as well as the interest,, so that at the expiration of the loan ■, the entire debt has been discharged. Such an opportunity as this should give courage to an enterprising farmer to buy more land, to improve his farm and live stock and have the use and profits therefrom.
