      {
        "text": "Mr. Justice Dove\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nThis case involves the validity of a promissory note which included in the principal thereof the sum of $500 which was part of a prior note for $5000, and for which appellee accepted $4500 when the makers procured a new loan from the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis. The cause is here by appeal from a judgment of the circuit court of Marshall county in favor of appellee for the amount of the note, except the $500 mentioned. Appellee has assigned a cross-error 'on the failure to include the $500 in the judgment.\nThe record discloses that on April 25, 1934, Thomas B. Foster and Mary E. Foster, his wife, who is appellant here, executed their promissory note of that date to Ed. Haugens, appellee, in the sum of $2463, secured by a mortgage on real estate in the State of South Dakota. At that time Foster and Minnie B. Kennedy, his sister, owned, as tenants in common, 80 acres of land in Marshall county, Illinois. Foster and his wife were also indebted to appellee in the further sum of $5000, evidenced by their promissory note, dated April 25, 1934 and secured by a mortgage on Foster\u2019s undivided half interest in the Marshall county land.\nIn June 1935, Foster and Minnie B. Kennedy applied to the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis for a loan on the Marshall county land, which was approved for $4500 and a land bank commissioner\u2019s loan of $3000 was also granted them. The transaction was handled through the Marshall County National Farm Loan Association, in the name of Minnie B. Kennedy as the applicant. In order for the loan to be consummated the lender required a signed creditor\u2019s statement from appellee, which contained the following:\nas an obligation\n\u201cYou hold a 1st mtg./of Minnie B. Kennedy, Toluca, for $5000.00. Kindly state below the earliest date said indebtedness can be paid, giving the amount which you will accept in full satisfaction of the same\non or before said date, or thereafter, and return this statement to me.\n(Signed)\n(Secretary-Treasurer or Loan Correspondent.) To Sam. W. Crabtree,\nSecretary-Treasurer or Loan Correspondent and to the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis and/or Land Bank Commissioner.\nThe amount of the .indebtedness referred to above is $5000 as unpaid principal . . . upon which date or after which date said debt can be paid. . Said indebtedness is evidenced by a Note due on the-day of -19-. The debt is secured by a Beal Estate mortgage which is recorded in book-page - of the records of Marshall County, State of -. Upon payment to the undersigned of $4500 . . . said sum will be accepted in full satisfaction of this claim.\u201d\nAfter provision for assignment and delivery of insurance policies with the release and other papers, and an agreement to take the amount in Federal mortgage corporation bonds, the statement continues: \u201cThe undersigned creditor states that no understanding or agreement exists between him and the applicant that a note or other evidence of indebtedness will be given for the difference, if any, between the amount paid or to be paid the creditor and the amount of the creditor\u2019s original claim, and agrees that directly or indirectly no note, mortgage or other consideration will be received from the debtor, incident to such acceptance, other than the consideration paid by The Federal Land Bank and/or the Land Bank Commissioner, and that when said consideration is paid all claims of this creditor against the above debtor shall have been satisfied in full.\u201d\nThe indebtedness on the South Dakota mortgage was not mentioned in the creditor\u2019s statement, and it did not call for any information as to any other obligation of the debtor to appellee except the specific mortgage mentioned therein. The record shows a financial statement signed by the applicant for the loan, showing assets of $17,695, including chattel property and \u201cPresent market value of this farm % interest $5,000. Other farming land $10,000.00,\u201d with liabilities of \u201cFirst lien on this farm $3750.00. Liens on other farms and real estate $5700.00,\u201d and a net worth of $8245. Appellee was paid $4500 when the Federal Land Bank loan was closed.\nSubsequently and on June 20, 1938, Foster and his wife executed a new note to appellee for $3,523.21, secured by a mortgage on the South Dakota land, to take up the prior mortgage on that land, and included in the note certain book accounts owing to appellee, and the unpaid $500 which was a part of the $5000 debt mentioned in the creditor\u2019s statement. Foster afterward died, and on February 21, 1940, appellee took judgment by confession against appellant on the $3,523.21 note, in the sum of $4095, which included interest and attorney\u2019s fees. After the return of an execution \u201cno property found,\u201d an affidavit for garnishment was filed, and process served on the State Bank of Wenona, which, in response to interrogatories filed, answered that it had $1985 belonging to appellant. Thereafter, on motion of appellant, leave was granted her to plead and answer the interrogatories and upon the hearing the trial court, on July 7, 1942, entered judgment, as of February 21, 1940, against appellant in the sum of $3595. This amount excludes the $500 unpaid when the Federal Land Bank loan was procured. Judgment was afterward entered against the bank in the garnishment proceeding. This appeal is from the judgment of July 7, 1942, against appellant, who contends that the entire note is void, as including an illegal consideration.\nAfter the judgment by confession was opened with leave to defend the action, affidavits on behalf of appellant, and counter affidavits by appellee were filed by leave of court. One of the counter affidavits of appellee states that he took the creditor\u2019s statement heretofore referred to, to \u201cthe Manager of the Marshall County Federal Land Bank office, an agent of the said Federal Land Bank of St. Louis,\u201d and advised him that \u201caffiant was willing to sign said Creditor\u2019s Statement in so far as the $5000.00 mortgage was concerned, advising him that said Foster was also indebted to affiant as evidenced by a note and mortgage on land in South Dakota, and that he would not be willing to accept the sum of $4500.00 in full payment of that indebtedness; whereupon the agent of said Land Bank advised affiant that the signing of the Creditor\u2019s Statement was a mere matter of form, and that all the Land Bank desired was to have affiant\u2019s mortgage released so as to give the Land Bank a first lien on the Marshall County land for its loan, and the filing of the Creditor\u2019s Statement by this affiant would not affect the other indebtedness, as the said other indebtedness had not been scheduled by said Foster in the application for said loan.\u201d The affidavit also states that while the application for the loan was pending, Foster asked affiant if he would release the $5000 mortgage for the sum of $4500 to which affiant replied that he thought the mortgage was worth the full amount of $5000, but that he would- accept $4500, and carry the balance over and include it in the other indebtedness, to which Foster agreed, and that the new note and mortgage were executed in pursuance of that agreement.\nOn the trial appellee testified, over objection to the conversation with Foster. He also testified that Sam. W. Crabtree was the secretary-treasurer for the Federal Land Bank, and that they had a conversation in reference to the loan; that he signed the creditor\u2019s statement in Mr. Crabtree\u2019s presence, and that in the conversation the question came up as to whether Foster owed the witness any more money, and that he said: \u201cTes, but tbe other money would be added to the rest of the account he owed ine\u201d; that he thought Mr. Crabtree knew of the South Dakota mortgage, and the witness told him (Crabtree) about Foster owing him other money and that he was not willing to sacrifice it; that he told him what he and Foster had decided to do, and that they were going to carry it all in one figure, to which Mr. Crabtree replied: \u201cThis is a matter of form.\u201d His testimony in connection with the conversation with Mr. Crabtree was stricken, on appellant\u2019s motion, as an attempt to vary the terms of a valid written instrument by parol evidence.\nAn affidavit by Mr. Crabtree states that he is secretary-treasurer of the Marshall County National Farm Loan Association, and has never been an agent of the Federal Land Bank \u201cunder a contract agreement\u201d; that affiant had no authority to make any verbal agreement or promise other than those set out in the regular forms of the Federal Land Bank, and having knowledge of such, that he made no statements or promises to anybody whatsoever that the statements in any Federal Land-Bank form was merely a matter of form. He was called as a witness for appellant, but did not, in his testimony, deny any part of the conversation with -him to which appellee testified.\nThe affidavit of F. Earl Heinrich, a former employee of Mr. Crabtree, states that he was present when appellee signed the creditor\u2019s statement, and signed the same as a witness; that appellee did not, in his pres- \u2022 ence, make the statements to which he testified; and that the witness did not tell him or hear Mr. Crabtree tell him, the things mentioned in appellee\u2019s counter affidavit. The Heinrich affidavit does not purport to cover all the time that appellant was in the office, or tend to show that the conversation with Mr. Crab-tree, set out in appellee\u2019s counter affidavit, and to which he testified, did not take place out of the hearing of the affiant. Mr. Heinrich did not testify on the trial.\nExcept the testimony and the affidavit of appellee that Mr. Crabtree said the creditor\u2019s statement was a mere matter of form, his other testimony and the other matters stated in his counter affidavit were undisputed. We think the trial court erred in excluding appellee\u2019s evidence of his conversation with Mr. Crab-tree. This testimony was not an attempt to vary the terms of a written instrument, but rather to show that by reason of the circumstances under which the creditor\u2019s statement was signed, the creditor\u2019s statement was, in legal effect, -no agreement at all. It has been repeatedly held that parol evidence is admissible for that purpose. (Black v. Wabash, St. L. & P. R. Co., 111 Ill. 351, 361; Wabash R. Co. v. Thomas, 222 Ill. 337; Illinois Match Co. v. Chicago, R. I. & P. R. Co., 250 Ill. 396; Toombs v. Lewis, 362 Ill. 181, 187, 188; Lennon v. Goodspeed, 89 Ill. 438.) While an element of fraud was present in the first case cited, the other cases contain no such element. It is apparent that the creditor\u2019s statement was signed with the knowledge of Mr. Crabtree that Mr. Foster and appellee had agreed that the debt secured\u2019 by the South Dakota mortgage and the $500 would continue as obligations of the Fosters to appellee. The counter affidavit of appellee and his testimony indicate that the book accounts,- a very small item, were incurred after the loan by the land bank ivas made, and consequently were not covered by the creditor\u2019s statement.\nThe rule seems to be practically universal that where there is a secret agreement with a mortgagor who procures a loan from a Federal Land Bank or from the .Home Owners Loan Corporation for the payment to the creditor of the balance of his claim not paid by the lender, and where the creditor agrees .with the lender to accept the amount paid to him in full satisfaction of his claim, the agreement is void as against public policy. (Oregon & Western Colonization Co. v. Johnson, 164 Ore. 517, 102 P. (2d) 928; Bell v. Jones, 100 Utah 87, 110 P. (2d) 327; Kniefel v. Keller, 207 Minn. 109, 290 N. W. 218; Meek v. Wilson, 283 Mich. 679, 278 N. W. 731; Markowitz v. Berg, 125 N. J. Eq. 56, 4 A. (2d) 410; Ganchoff v. Bullock, 234 Wis. 613, 291 N. W. 837.) It is equally well settled that where such an agreement is with the knowledge of the lender, the agreement is not void. (Bay City Bank v. White, 283 Mich. 267, 277 N. W. 888; Dayton Mortgage & Investment Co. v. Theis, 62 Ohio App. 169, 23 N. E. (2d) 511; Ganchoff v. Bullock, 234 Wis. 613, 291 N. W. 837; Sirman v. Sloss Realty Co., 198 Ark. 534, 129 S. W. (2d) 602; McAllister v. Drapeau, 14 Cal. (2d) 102, 92 P. (2d) 911; Brown v. Sears Roebuck & Co., 311 Ill. App. 490.)\nThis leaves for determination the question of whether Mr. Crabtree\u2019s knowledge of the agreement between appellee and Foster to continue the indebtedness secured by the South Dakota mortgage and for the payment of the $500, is imputable to the Federal Land Bank under the doctrine of agency. As a general rule, officers and agents of a National Farm Loan Association are not by law agents of the Federal Land Bank. (Federal Land Bank of Columbia v. Gaines, 290 U. S. 247, 78 L. Ed. 298; Hooper v. Federal Land Bank of Columbia, 178 Ga. 571, 173 S. E. 415; Hinds v. Federal Land Bank of New Orleans, 235 Ala. 366, 179 So. 194; Gantt v. Gunter, 225 Ala. 679, 145 So. 146.) Appellant argues from this that the knowledge of Mr. Crabtree of the agreement between appellee and Foster is not imputable to the Federal Land Bank. Section 712 of the Farm Loan Act (Code Title 12, USCA), provide for a board of not less than five directors for a farm loan association, whose duty it shall be to choose a secretary-treasurer, elect a president, a vice-president, and a loan committee of three members. It nowhere mentions a \u201cLoan Correspondent\u201d of such an association. The creditor\u2019s statement signed by appellee is addressed to Mr. Crabtree as \u201cSecretary-Treasurer or Loan Correspondent and to The Federal Land Bank of St. Louis and/or the Land Bank Commissioner.\u201d It is not directed to the farm loan association, and does not designate Mr. Crabtree as \u201cLoan Correspondent\u201d of the association. While section 714 of the act does not create the relation of principal and agent between a Federal. Land Bank and a National Farm Loan Association, or its secretary-treasurer, it does not follow that the bank is without power to use the secretary of such association as its agent in a loan transaction. (Federal Land Bank of Omaha v. Houck, 68 S. D. \u2014, 4 N. W. (2d) 213.)\nAppellant does not claim that the Marshall County National Farm Loan Association had a \u201cLoan Correspondent,\u201d or that it was authorized to create such a position. From the wording* as to whom the creditor\u2019s statement was addressed, including the Federal Land Bank, on a form furnished by it, without mentioning the Farm Loan Association, appellee, or any one else executing the statement, might logically conclude that Mr. .Crabtree, as \u201cLoan Correspondent,\u201d was acting as the representative and agent of the bank, clothed with apparent authority to act as such. Even if he was not in fact the agent of the bank, and while reasonable diligence is required of all parties in the transaction of business, it is not enough to prevent relief that appellee might have ascertained the truth had he done all within his power. (Winkelman v. Erwin, 333 Ill. 636, 640.) Agency may be proved by the relation of the parties and the circumstances under which the transaction took place. (Lake Shore Country Club v. Brand, 339 Ill. 504, 520.) Apparent authority is as effective to bind one as a principal as is actual authority given. (Northern Illinois Coal Corp. v. Cryder, 361 Ill. 274, 287; Faber-Musser Co. v. William E. Dee Clay Mfg. Co., 291 Ill. 240; 21 R. C. L. 907.) Under the facts and circumstances shown by this record, we hold that the knowledge of Mr. Crabtree as to the agreement between appellee and Mr. Foster was imputable to the Federal Land Bank under the doctrine of apparent agency, and. being so, the agreement was not void, but was valid and enforceable. The trial court erred in excluding the $500 from the amount of the judgment and the cross-error is sustained.\nThe judgment rendered on July 7, 1942 is reversed and the cause is remanded to the circuit court of Marshall county, with directions to enter appropriate orders, leaving the judgment rendered by confession on February 21, 1940 in full force and effect.\nReversed and remanded with directions.",
