Hall.
The high school seniors havo bton
unable to secure tho opera house for
tin ir commencement exorcises, and at

I am making lots of Farm Loans.
There are reasons for this. 1 can close a
loan for you in three clays 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

from 30 to 60 days notice on this (joint.
I have so many different plans for making

one can give better rates.
