Cui Secretary-Treasu Need For On Thursday, October 12th, a| movement was launched by a numk * uoi ui progressive farmers which culminated on Tuesday in the organization of the Lancaster County Na- i tional Farm Loan Association. Much i interest being: manifested by the famers everywhere in these associa- i tions and people who have made a careful study of the law, in so far as it is applicable to their interests, are gratified at the many benefits it of- < fers. In order for a farmer to become a member of an association it is necw ' -"HHi L. C. LAZENBY Elected President of the Lancas- 1 ,er County Natiffnal Farm Associaion.

If he wants t o borrow $100, he must take one i ihare of stock; if $200, two shares; md if $2,000, 20 shares and so on. i The borrower may pay cash for his dock at the time he applies for nembership. or he may wait until his i oan is received and then pay for his itock from the loan. He may, if he vishes, even add the cost of hisi dock to the amount of his loan, providing this does not increase his loan ibove 50 per cent of the market ' value of the land offered as security, plus 20 per cent of tire value of the permanent improvements thereon. The plan of buying stock makes the National Farm Loan Association; co-operative in character.

But if the association prospers. dividends on his stock must be paid to the borrower. When the debt is paid by the borrower the stock is cancelled. The payment of a debt automatically removes a farmer from membership. The lowest sum that any farmer can borrow is $100; the highest $10,000. Any one may become a member of an association who is the owner of farm land or is about to become the ownet ot land by complying with th.- above requirements.

I'AI'KIt MILLS TO 1SK \EW \V(H)I)S Washington, Oct. 18.?As the result of studies which have been made at the Forest Products Laboratory on methods of handling wood chipal suitable for paper pulp, | it is announced that Wisconsin paper companies are now negotiating I with the railroads for shipment to their factories of experimental train I loads of chips of western w oods adapted to paper making. Previous investigations by the : Forest Service have demonstrated I that good grades ot paper can be made from a number of western woods. The experts now estimate that some of these woods, when cut into chips and dried and baled, can be delivered to the mills in Wisconsin at a very small advance over the cost of chips made from local timber If a favorable freight rate can be obtained, they say, the great quantity of pulpwood on the National Forests should prove to be a considerable factor in supplying favorably located paper mills with the necessary raw material. In Wisconsin alone it i? utatoH c tw>>-o iu 1 market for over 200.000 cords of pulpwood.

PRIMUS SECTION j VERY PROSPEROUS SCHOOL TO HEGIN SOON Writer Discusses Politics and Community Prosperity?Inesting News Primus, Oct. 20.?Mr. Kditor: I again take the privilege of (lotting a few lines for The News from one favoied section of the county. News of very much interest is real scarce in this part of the country. The writer of this article has been real busy on the farm during the past two weeks, hence, I haven't been able to gather very much information, but . such as 1 have give I unto you. The health of the community is good and the farmers are very busy gathering their crops and turning their lands and sowing wheat and oats. Notwithstanding the high price of cotton the farmers of this 'community are intent on sowing a large quantity of small grain, and of as early variety as they can get to be able to avoid buying high priced stuff next spring and summer. Our school at Red Hill will open in about two weeks with Miss Kate Ramsey as teacher. We trust the patrons will all enter their children the very first day and continue them through the entire session. Mr. E. H. Wright is making arrangements to move to Great Falls to enter the mercantile business. Mr. I Wright is one of our hustling farmers and we regret very much to lose him. Mr. J. A. Rowers, our local sawmill man. has moved his mill into the Midway section in Flat Creek township where he will operate during the winter. Mr. Editor: I notice an article in the last issue of The News, October 13th, headed thus: "The Lillie white branch where forty Republicans met over in Spartanburg and organized a branch of the Republican party." 1 am not surprised in the least. The thing reminds me of the jointed snake; when you strike the jointed snake a hard blow he will fly all to pieces, but if you let it alone it will wiggle back together. The only way to kill it is to mash its head. It also reminds us of the hum- uoys essay on a dog. He said a dog is an animal with four legs, a changes them. He wags his tail when he is glad and sits on it when he is mad. A dog is a useful animal. because he bites burglars, but he is more trouble than he is worth when he tracks mud on the carpet. The meeting was a decided success it goes on to say. 1 notice this meeting was called under instructions from one J. Duncan Adams of Charleston. Mr. Editor, I want to give notice to the public that J. Dunlean Adams of Charleston is in way related to the writer. The ai^9'w^ tide goes on to say other meetings will be held later with a view of putting out a ticket in the next election. In closing on this subject 1 will say the thing that is the most surprising to nie is that as big a county as is Spartanburg can't command but forty pieces, at that rate the whole State can not get together enough pieces to comprise the whole snake. \ 11 indications point to the biggest and licst fair yet held in Lancaster. Let ns all pull together and make fair week a red letter event for Lancaster county. Mrs. Jane Adams, mother of tho writer of this article, celebrated her 8.r?th birthday Thursday, October l!?tb. A most enjoyable day was I spent with many of her friends. It Iwas with genuine pleasure that we extended an invitation to our good editor. Mr. (Kllison, and to Sheriff John P. Hunter. There will be preaching at Htgti : Point church the fifth Sunday in October at 2 o'clock in the afternoon bv the pastor. Rev. B. F. Parson. Mr Kditor, in concluding this ar tide 1 will say I sympathize with you in your work. I have complied with your request in part. I am sending you the news and 1 trust the other fellows will send you the hushel of apples. Much success to the Lancaster News and its splendid editor. B. F. ADAMS.
