THE FARM M)AN ASSOCIATION.
Editor Democrat:
I see In last weeek's Dmocrat that
the farmers of Cherokee county
have organized a Farm Loan Asso-
ciation. This is a splendid move
and one to be commended by every
one interested in the progress of our
county. But "if the report of th >
meeting is correct the organization
was not in accordance with the law.
The temporary organization was
perhaps not much out of the way.
That could serve to get the meeting
started. The next step would be for
the farmers who are going to ask
for loans to elect five or more di-
rectors. Then these directors elect
of their own number a president,
vice president and secretary-treas-
urer. Tho- . thus elected are the of-
ficers of the board of dlr 'dors, and
manage tli* business of t le associa-
tion. The at-ociation does not elect
a president. It elects the directors
only, and tin y must be selected, ex-
cept the - • i retary-treasurer, from
i he farmers who are going to ask for
loans. If the association organized
as above set forth it is 100 par, all
right. If not it will be necessary
to do it ovpr again.
I all-" notice that Judge Parks,
may his shadow never grow less, wis
elected president, hut does not state
of what. He could only be elected
president of the board of dirctor.i
But the Judge could not be elected
to such an office, because, if 1 um
not mistaken, he Is a lawyer and not
a farmer, and so cannot be connect-
ed with the association in any way,
except as a booster, unless he is
going to drop the law and be an
actual farmer.
This law is made for the benetH
of only those farmers who are act-
ively engaged in farming, or who
will declare their intention of Im-
mediately so engaging.
It is only such farmers who can
join an association, or ask for loant
or be elected a director. The man
who owns land, or a farm, and rents
it or leases it is not a farmer with-
in the meaning of this law, and
cannot bo a member of any associa-
tion or receive any loan. As far as
the law will allow in this respect is
to permit a farmer to hire a hand
to assist him on the farm. Such
the law and th< regulations as
adopted by the Farm Loan Board at
Washington, D. C. How do ihos?
who are members of this association
and those on the board of directors
up to these requirements?
The laws must be observed or a
charter will not be granted.
It is also stated that the associa-
tion organized with a capital of $50,-
000. Such associations have no
capital whatever, but loans amount-
ing io not less than $20,000 must be
asked for in the original applica-
tion.
I also noticc that this association
takes in all of Cherokee county. In
many counties each township has an
association and they all have th}
same secretary-treasurer in order
to keep down expenses. But 1 be-
lieve one big, strong county organi-
zation will be the best for us.
It will also be necessary for all
farmers in the county who want
loans to join this association. No
other one can be organized. This
association has established its
boundaries as those of Cherokee
county. It will be so chartered and
that shuts out all ciher organiza-
tions within the same territory.
I know all about this farm loan
law and write as I have, to help the
farmers get started right. 1 could
fill the Democrat with valuable In-
formation about the law and rules
of the Farm Loan Board, but the
editor might have something to say
about that, so will ring off for the
present.

The Pneumonia Season-
The cold, damp weather of March
seem-s to be the most favorable for
the Pneumonia germ. Now is th'i
time to be careful. Pneumonia often
results from a cold. The quicker a
cold is gotton rid of tho less tho
dange.. As Boon as tho first indica-
tion of a cold appears take Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy. As to tho
value of this preparation, ask any-
one who has used it. Adv.
SINGING SCHOOL
There will be a district singinsr
school at ixist City, on the fourtli
Sunday in April, it being April 22.
There i ill be free transportation

joyable time. All singers, and oth-
ers, are invited to attend. By older

IIIRRY NAVY RECRl'ITIVG.
The government is urging recruit-
ing for the navy and is making
strenuous efforts to bring the stand-
ing up to 87,000 men. To do this
an increase of 18,300 men is requir-
ed to man the reserve ships. War
is at our door and in all probability
the next issue of the Democrat will
announce that Germany Is maintain-
ing a state of war against the Unit-
ed Slates. The time to act is at
hand. Our country wants men for
the defense of our nation and our
homes. This is not a call for re-
cruits for the standing army, but
men are wanted for action. A large
percent of Americans are slow to
consider entering the standing army
but when our nation is threatened
are standing ready to offer their
services. That time is now. Men
are wanted 9n account of war, which
is inevitable and the government
should not, and we believe will not,
have to wait long and urge men to
till the ranks. We believe that the
men of this nation are ready and
willing to offer their services in
times of need for the defense of the
country and that the campaign to
fill the ranks will be short. If you
are one who contemplate entering
the service make your Intention
known to ihe Tahlequah postmaster
and he will do tho lCBt.
