This ruling is announced as a result
of the favorable decision upon that
point lately made by tin.' supreme
coiitt in tho case brought by tlio Hank
ers Union Company of Omaha, to com
pel tho department to allow them to
continue business. Tho court decided
that when one Insurance company

havo approved the measure, not only
as jurists, but as citizens and taxpay
ers, stating that tho law was "admir

I am making lots of Farm Loans.
There are reasons for this. I can close a
loan, for you in three days after taking your
application, for these reasons:
You do not have to wait and pay for a
man to examine the land. My company has
oceans of money. You do not wait for them
to sell your loan in New York or London
before getting the cash.
You can Pay Off at Any Time,
without giving a day's notice of your inten
tion so to do. All other companies require
from 30 to 60 days notice on this point.
I have so many different plans for making
loans that some one is bound to suit. No
one can give better rates.
