Lat Friday and' Saturday after
noons and evenings the boys division
of the Y. M. C. A. held their annual

These annual entertainments arc

ceeds are expended in providing ad
ditional privileges for the boys' di
vision. Last year the proceeds went
toward purchasing a motion picture
machine and providing turns tor the
past season.
11ns year the proceeds are going
toward recovering the game room
with durable floor covering and pro
viding an additional budget to pro
vide movie films for the coming year.
The boys who were selling tickets
reported a good selling campaign.
Next week will be announced the re
sults of the contests and the win
ner?. The entertainments this year were
well attended and many remarked
that it was better than that of last
year, and hoped another would be
planned for next year..

School Year Is
Marked By Plan
For New Schools
Work Begun on Technical
High Building North High
Planned Citizenship
Is Stressed.
A review of the year in the publi
schools, by J. H. Beveridge, super
intendent, contains the lollowing
nnpninc naraeranhs:
"The outstanding feature of the
last year in school progress was the
letting of the contract for the new
Omaha Technical High school. At
the present time there are enrolled
in this school 2,700 pupils.
"The new building is not being
built to accommodate this number,
hut the new North High school,
which will be started soon, will re
lieve the congestion at both Central
and Omaha Technical High schools.
"South High school must be re
lieved. At the opening of the next
semester it will have to run on two
shifts, and immediate attention must
be given to increase its accommoda
tions." '
Already Under Way.
The Omaha Technical High school
already is under way, on a tract of
three blocks, between Cuming and
Burt streets, from Thirtieth to Thirty-third
streets.
It is estimated that the completed
structure will cost nearly $3,000,000.
Its east and west length will be 600
t'eet.
Some of the pupils of the High
School of Commerce are being
housed in temporary buildings on
the site of the Omaha Technical
High school.
Th new school olant will replace
the High School of Commerce build
ings on Leavenworth street, between
Seventeenth and Nineteenth streets.
Trip ipw North Hieh school will
be erected at the southeast corner of
Thirty-first street and Ames avenue
and will cost approximately $750,000.
The Board of Eudcation is consid
ering the selection of an architect.
Stress on Citizenship.
T1i thrift work amone the pupils
of the city has resulted in the school
children now having in the banks a
total of $120,000.

Omaha Federal
Land Bank Leads
In Farm Loans
Local Institution Is Largest
Formers Co-Operative In
stitution in U. S., Says
President
By D. P. HOGAN.
rrMldrat, redrral JUaMI Bank ef Omaha.
With $1125.000 paid up capital.
$626,655.07 surplus and undivided
profits and $.-6.5'.v,340 in loans, the
I-ederal Land Bank of Omaha is the
largest of the 12 Federal Land bank
and the largest farmers' co-operative
instition in the United States. Tho
Federal Land banks are truly co-op
erative. The farmer borrowers fur
nish the capital. All net earnings
belong to them.
lhe suit attacking the constitu
tionality of the Federal Land hanks
was decided In favor of the banks,
February 29, and immediately the
Federal Land Bank of Omaha made
preparations to resume loaning op
erations. Sold at Par.
Forty million dollars of 5 per cent
20-year bonds were sold for the Fed-
Land bank system n May at par
and a like issue of $60,000,000 -in
bonds was sold in October at par.
Loans have been closed during the
year amounting to $9,257,200. The
total amount of first mortgage loans
outstanding, shown by states at pres
ent, is as touows:
Iowa I27.MS.BM
Nebraska n.MH.Hll
Houth Dakota) .IM.g.tO
Wyoming 1,714,61(0
Realize Good Fortune.
The net earnings of this bank for
the year 19J1. amount to S400.359.S1
A dividend of 6 oer cent per annum
was declared for the first half of
the year and a dividend of 8 per cent
per annum was declared for the last
half of the year. The rate charged
borrowers on new loans during the
year was 6 per cent per annum on
the oj-year amortization plan.
Borrowers who secured their
loans through this system five years
ago at 5 per cent, now realize their
good fortune. I heir loans continue
at 5 per cent without renewal
charges, while their, less fortunate
neighbors who borrowed on the old
five-year plan are now obliged to
renew their loans at a high interest
rate witi excessive commissions.
Market Greatly Improved.
The market for farm loan bonds
has greatly improved during the past
three months and there is every
reason to believe that a much larger
issue of bonds will be taken by in
vestors in the next bond sale than
has been taken in the last year.
In spite of adverse agricultural
conditions during the past year, the
loans of the federal Land Bank of
Omaha have proved their high qual
ity by the very limited number of
delinquents shown in the monthly
statements to the farm loan board.
.Those remaining past due longer
than 60 days are so small as to bs
practically negligible. 4
Informed of Need.
The officers of the Federal Land
Bank of Omaha are fully informed
of the urgent need of farm loan
funds in this district and are makinc
every effort in their power to secure
as large a supply of funds for loans
as possible. . ..
There is every reason to hone that
the market for Federal Land bank
bonds will continue to improve and
that within the next six months the
supply of funds will fairly well take
care of the demand of eligible bor
rowers ior good loans.
