FARM, LOAN STOCK ON SALE Subscriptions Can Be Entered With The Board Here. Washfafftonlans who wish to subscribe to stock of the new Federal Farm. Loans banks, sale of which was begun yesterday In tho twelve farm loan cities, may file applications with the board here, or may purchase stock through Baltimore, the nearest city, where one of the banks will be located. Stock is being offered 'at IS a share, and in entering subscriptions orders must be accompanied by certified check for one-fifth of the amount of stock desired. To the small Investor the stock ought to prove attractive, since it is absolutely safe and ought to earn at least 4 or per cent.

In opening subscription books, the board calls attention of prospective investors to the fact that the stock probably will earn no dividend during the first year, and that it can never pay more than per cent, since the purpose of the banks is to give service to the farmer and not to make money. It Is also pointed out that the stock ultimately will be retired because lt is th'e aim of the act to have the stock eventually all owned by farm loan associations. Capital stock of each bank will be J750.000, making a total of $9,000,000. Subscription books will be open for a period of thirty days, after which they will close, and the Secretary of the Treasury. In behalf of tbe.Unlted States Government, will subscribe to the remaining stock.

LOJiDOK," Jan. 11-The cataclysm of a world war has forced EnglanU to apply real American methods to her government. Lloyd George's reor ganlzed cabinet Is but a glorified American city council under a commission form of government. Impelled By Crisis. England, as a nation, was faced with exactly the same problems that confronted hundreds of American cities before the advent Of the Galveston and Des Moines plans for rhnnlcinal affairs.

Great Britain had a council that was un- wieldly, its decisions were taxen anr ridiculously long debates and the mlr-takes lt made could not be traced to any responsible source. Similar Problem In America. Such was the condition of affairs In Dts Moines, Iowa, and other Amer. ican cities during the time they labored under the old ward-council governments. nanni, far tvo vars nave watched the government pile one mis adventure upon anotner out wo was not represented In money but In the lives of the nation's best men.

Responsibility Fixed. In one. short week Lloyd-George, England's strong man, wiped out an Inefficient, ward-council plan of government and Substituted the. commission of five men, who are held directly responsible for the conduct of the nation's affairs. Each controls certain portions of the country's business and each commissioner, or cabinet member, has been proved capable.
