Marion is the eleventh on the list
of Florida counties in the sale of war
stamps. Marion, up to April 6, had
bought less than $20,000 worth of
stamps. As our population is about
30,000, the per capital is only 65
cents. Can't we do better than that?
Pinellas leads the state with a per
capital of $2.74, and Bradford is at
the tail end of the procession with
only 2 cents'.
In our humble opinion, the sale of
the Ocala Banner may indicate its
early consolidation with the Ocala
Star. Punta Gorda Herald.
Nothing doing. We are in the
habit, every afternoon, when the Star
goes to press, of turning the town
over to' the Banner until next morn morning,
ing, morning, so wecan go to the picture show,
or stand on the street corner to look
at the girls. If the two papers were
consolidated, we would have to take
care of the town all the time.
Editor J. H. Benjamin of the Ocala
Star, and Prof. J. H. Brinson, super superintendent
intendent superintendent of public instruction for
Marion county, have been having a
highly interesting argument concern concerning
ing concerning the merits and demerits of Flor Florida's
ida's Florida's public school system. Prof.
Brinson defends the system, while
Editor Benjamin points out many
things that he considers defects in it.
The first actual results of the oper operation
ation operation of the Federal Land Bank, in
Marion county, were evidenced by the
receipt of funds, by one of our banks,
to pay off a mortgage held locally
against the lands of one of the mem members
bers members of the Reddick National Loan
Association, which is a part of the
system under which the Federal Land
Bank operates.
This system, as our readers will re remember,
member, remember, was inaugurated under an
act of Congress, f aprpoved July 17,
1916, which provided that the con con-tinental
tinental con-tinental United States, excluding
Alaska, should be divided into twelve
districts which should Ibe known as
Federal Land Bank districts.
The third district comprises the
states of North Carolina, Couth Car Carolina,
olina, Carolina, Georgia and Florida, with head headquarters
quarters headquarters at Columbia, S. C, and is
designated as the Federal Land Bank
of Columbia, and Ocala was honored
by the selection of F. J. H. von Engel Engel-ken
ken Engel-ken as its president.
The amortization plan under which
the bank operates provides for a loan
repayable in thirty-five equal annual
installments with interest, at this
time, at the rate of 5 per annum.
The annual payment on each $100
borrowed on the above basis is $6.50
and at the end of the period both
principal and all interest have been
paid. It is within the discretion of the
borrower to pay all of the loan after
five years or he may pay more than
the annual payment and thus reduce
the principal of the debt and neces
sarily the amount of the yearly in
"terest charge.
These have been about $80,000 of
loans applied for through the Reddick
association and probably half of that
amount through the Ocala association.
The farmer, for years, and one
might say for always, has been la
boring under the handicap of having
the best security in the world to bor
row on but at the same time it was
the least liquid or convertible and for
that reason the national banks have
been unable to make loans with real
estate as their security.
A loan to a farmer for from three
to six months v only aggravates his
trouble for he cannot borrow, put in
a crop and then harvest and sell it
by tha time his note has matured.
That Congress intended the fed federal
eral federal land banks to be used only for
the benefit of the farmer is evidenced
by the uses to which the funs loaned
may be put: To assist in purchasing
land for agricultural purposes; for
equipment to be used in connection
with the mortgaged premises; for fer fertilizer
tilizer fertilizer to be used thereon; for live
stock necessary in the operation of
the mortgaged lands; to provide for
the improvement of the mortgaged
lands; to provide buildings on the
mortgaged lands; for liquidating in indebtedness
debtedness indebtedness in connection with the
mortgaged lands.
This data was furnished us by Mr.
R. S. Rogers, who was appointed by
the Federal Land Bank as a title ex examiner
aminer examiner for Marion county, and who
has handled all of the "loans which
have been approved so far, several
other loans having reached the stage
of the filing for record of the -mortgage
to the bank and in a few days
the funds thereon will be forthcoming.

PRESIDENT, NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE. CO.
'HY do you save to build a home? It is
usually cheaper to pay rent.
Why do you plan to give your children
a good education? Will you get any money divi dividends
dends dividends from that?
Why do you pay fire insurance premiums and life
insurance premiums? You personally will get little
if any thing from that.'
Why do you call the doctor quickly if the children
are ailing? You don't stop to think whether you
can afford it. Do you?
None of these expenditures are what we call good
investments. They don't pay in money, yet all pay
the finest of dividends.
Liberty Bonds represent the home, the school, the
children; they represent all the great deeds of our
lathers and grandfathers; they represent Bunker
Hill and Yorktown and Gettysburg; they represent
the blessed freedom under which we all live, they
also represent the ORDER that makes freedom
blessed.
They represent the boys "over there;" they represent
devasted Belgium and homeless Serbia and murder murdered
ed murdered Armenia;
They are the defence that shall keep from our shores the monster criminals
who outraged the women of Belgium and Northern France and made the
men slaves;
They represent the strength that shall restore Belgium and rebuild France
and avenge Serbia;
They are the voice of those who are too young or too old or too weak to
tight; they are-the sword of the women and the cannon of the children; they
are the voice of free people calling to cruelly wronged, freedom-loved men
and bringing them succor.
Buy them? Of course you will buy them. You'll
borrow to buy them.
You don't have to be. urged, You would be ashamed to go home to your
children if you did not buy them.
The rate of interest is important but not of first importance. They would
pay, they would appeal to you, if they bore no interest whatever.
Add to the rate of interest the dividends they pay in self interest, in safety,
in public order, in liberty and law and you have a larger return than you
receive from any other thing that you own.
They will never become "scraps of paper."
They are the best secured investment in the world.

when the clay dries it is in ridges and
bumps bad enough to break a car

ida Florida in subscribing liberally for Liber Liberty

to the attention of Congress as an
example worthy of emulation by the
rest of the country.
Congressman Frank Clark and
other members of the state delegation
at the capital have received scores ol
telegrams from all parts of the state
notifying them that -the Liberty
Bond quotas for the various commu-j
nities were way over-subscribed. A
number of these telegrams have been
put in the Congressional Record.
Congressman Clark and other mem members
bers members of the Florida delegation have
shown these telegrams from their
constituents at the White House and
the treasury department, where they
have greatly heartened those officials
in charge 'of the Liberty Bond drive.

of perishable foods, eggs and poultry

urged by the food administration in
the most emphatic manner in order
that the conservation of staple foods
for export may be increased. s-
Beginning May 1 the barr on mar marketing

pullets is lifted and a liberal move

is anticipated in order to provide

The administration officials say that

assed the railroads during the winter
have been overcome and "while there is
still a car shortage the roads are able
to meet actual needs.
The office of public buildings and
