ALBERTA HELPING LOANS $14,900,990 TO HELP THEM GET STARTED IN FARMING OPERATIONS
EDMONTON, Alberta, — More money has been loaned to soldiers in northern Alberta than in any other part of Canada. Alberta points to this fact as a true statement, for the attractions of the province. Through the Edmonton office which covers the northern half of the province, loans to soldier settlers have been approved to the extent of $14,000,000 and of this amount nearly $10,000,000 has been disbursed. About 3,000 soldiers have been actually located on farms with an equal number settled on homestead lands for which no loans are necessary. Most of the soldier settlers are making good, according to the Soldier Settlement Board and are sharing in the profits of the bumper harvest. Their prosperity is reflected in a hundred or more inquiries recently received by the board from state directors who want to pay off their livestock and farm equipment loans in full without waiting for their installments to mature. One soldier in the Edmonton district out of the money realized for his first crop repaid the board $1,900 to liquidate his indebtedness for stock seed and implements. He had settled on homestead land which cost him nothing and a single crop has cleared him of debt and  Made him independent.
