Show I The- Act- and the Bonds ' THE U. S. supreme court has stamped its O. K. on the federal farm loan actpthe law is constitutional. And the bonds, too, are O. K. They pay 5 per cent interest, and come near being the safest of investments for the man of small means. . . It is a matter of cooperation for city consumers con-sumers to thus id their rural brothers in the production of food. -Buying a farm loan bond is more than a mere investment.- It is helping some farmer, somewhere in this country, to improve im-prove his farm so- that he may raise more and cheaper food. This may be through the purchase of adjoining acres, better livestock, machinery, or the paying of a high interest mortgage which has been making low production costs impossible. The supreme court's decision ought to make (arming a more attractive occupation for agriculturists, agricul-turists, for it opens to them a much ' heeded avenue to credit, without which no business could thrive. We hereby nomipate Hardy K. Downing, boxing promoter and referee, for sergeant-at-arms of the state legislature. |
