RAP AT OIL INSPECTION i (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Sept. 30—(Special to Dally Democrat) —Indiana’s pil inI spection system underwent a sweeping revision today. I department of inspection passed out of. existence and its duties . were transferred to the food and drug department, under a law passed by the 1919 general assembly. With the passing of the old regime, ' sixty inspectors scattered in districts | throughout the state lost their jobs ; and fifteen men will handle their (duties. Dr. Harry E. Barnard, food and drug commissioner, held an ex * animation recently to select inspect-j ors on their qualifications. The in- 1 speetors will give their entire time to the work and will draw salaries of | $125 a month and travelling expenses, i The fees paid by the oil companies, 1 which were the compensation for the. district inspectors, will now be paid j into the state treasury and this . money will be used to pay the new force and its expenses. # CARD OF THANKS i Misses Christena and Agnes Corner wish in this way to extend their sincere thanks to all neighbors and friends for the assistance given during the illness and at the time of the 1 death of their father, Peter Confer. and for the floral pieces and all other ’ expressions of sympathy. THE FARMER’S OPPORTUNITY. Description of the method of borrowing money on farms on the gov-; ■ ernment plan through the First Jcint Stock Land Bank of Fort Wayne, Ind. The idea is to loan money on farms for longer periods than is the exiting 1 practice now, as authorized under the ! Federal Farm Loan Act, effective July, 1916. This law makes it possible for the 1 farmers to make money by borrowing money. It is the intention to place money within the reach of the - farmer on such terms as to convert : the farm mortgage into a source of . profit. The money may be loaned you to buy land for agricultural purposes, to purchase equipment, such as teams, . machinery, live stock, to provide ben- 1 eficial improvements, structure, tiling, drainage, fencing, buildings, etc. i Tne money is loaned on the “amort- 1 1 ization plan” which means the paying off of the indebtednes by install- . ments of a fixed amount, throughout i 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 principal, paying off loan in 33 years. Upon a Ten Thousand Dollar loan, r the payment each year would be S7OO. Borrower may pay off part or all of loan after five years. I Loans made up to one half of the value of the land and 20 per cent of the insurable value of the improve- I > ment. NO COMMISSION--LOANS MADE i , TO BORROWER AT COST, j 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 renewal, not the trouble and expense of one You have no uncertainty about in- , terest rates. You have liberal prepayment privileges after five years. You do not tie up yourself or your land. Eevery payment you make reduces 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. % For further information see French Quinn.
