District No. 12.—Washington, Ore-
• ! a- : . i •
"In determining the federal an<l
bank diatr.ct and in designating the
r.es witn.n such districts where fed-
eral land anks shall be located." the
fl c:al announcement says, "the fed-
eral farm loan aoard has z.ven care-
ful consideration to the farm loan
needs of the country. The hoard held
public heannsrs in nearly every state
in the union and in this manner col-
lected information of great value in
determining its devision.
"E^ery reasonable opportunity has
been afforded applicant cities to fur-
nish evidence to supoprt tnei* daima
as to locations of federal land anks.
More than seven*, -rive cit.es applied
to be designated as the headquarter?
of a oank and were heard through
representative comm ".tees and indi-
viduals.'*
The hanks will be established as
soon as practicable. Under the law
eaA will have a capitalization of
$750,000. Applications for loans have
beer, pouring into the b Afi in zreat
volume recently and it, :s estimated
that a sum more than twenty times is
excess of the combined capital stock
could be used in making loans.
Almost the lirst work of the banks
after approving and issuing loans will
ne the issuance of farm loan ^onds. a
new form of security in this country.
The bonds will be issued in denomi-
nations as small as $25. it is expected,
and will bear nterest at a rate 1 per
cent less than the interest rate charg-
ed farmers on their loans.
What this nterest rate will be ha*
per cent,
will not «
so that at no time under tne present
plan will a bank's entire capital be
tied ap in i«jans to the detriment of
other appii ants.

With many people taking cold is a
ha^.it. but fortunately one that is eas-
ily roken. Take a cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed— not ice cold, but a tempera-
ture of about 90 degree; F. Also sleep
Wi'-h your window up. Do this and you
will seldom take cold. When you do
tase cold take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and zet nd of it as quickly
as possible. Obtainable everywhere.
