Government Gives Five Rules for Borrowing Money. armory’ Bulletin Points Out Funda ‘mental Principles Which Alone Gan Make Credit » Blessing “ad Glak. a Ou ee ee eer ae ‘te convince farmers that there 1s no magic. about credit aro set down in |Parmers’ Bulletin 693, “How to Use ‘Farm Credit,” which the United States Gepartment of agriculture has just published. Unless the farmer who 1s ‘thinking of borrowing money folly un- derstands theso rules and is willing to be gulded by them, the govern: ‘ment’s advico to him 1s: DON'T. As ‘it 9, there are probably almost as ‘many farmers in thie country who are veuffering from too much a8 from too IMttle credit. ‘Of these rules the three most im- wportant are: « 1. Make sure tbat the purpose for which the borrowed money 1s to be ‘used will produce return greater ‘than needed to pay the debt. 2. Tho length of time the debt is to run should havo a close relation to the productive lite of the improve ment for which the money 1s bor rowed. t 3. Provision should be made in long-time loans for the gradual reduc lon of the principal. The first rule 1s of course the Key. to the wise use of credit. Between porrowing money to spend on one’s self and borrowing money to buy equipment of come sort with which to make more money there 1s all the dlf- ference between folly “and foresight, extravagance and thrift. If the maney {s borrowed for a wise purpose it will produce enough to pay back principal find interest and leave a fair margin of profit for the borrower into the Dargain. If it ts borrowed for a fook {sh purpose it will produce. nothing and ‘consequently there will be noth ing with which to repay the loan. From this polat of view it matters comparatively ttle whether the tn- terest be high or low. It is the repay- ment of the principal that fe the chef aitiealty. Rules 2 and 8 deal with tho most satisfactory ways of repayment. Un- derneath them both ts the same prin- ciple: The loan must be repaid with the money {t earns fteclf. For exam- ple, if the money'ts used to buy a machine that will last ten years, the machine, must earn enough In that ime to pay for itself or it never will. ‘The loan, therefore, should be entirely repaid before the ten Years aro up oF the farmer will lose money on the transaction, paying out interest for no Denefit in retorn. On the other hand, {f too early a date ts set for repay- ment, the machine will not have had suftcient opportunity to make the Te- fuisite money and the borrower may have dificulty in raising it elsewhere. Rule & provides for some form of amortization, the system by which the principal is repaid in installments so that the amount of the loan {s continu- ally diminishing and in consequence tho Interest charges also. Such a sy3- tem fe quite feasiblo when the loan 's really productive, when it returns to the Borrower a definite revenue each year. ‘Tables showing the payments required to pay off principal and inter- fet in varying periods of time are ap- pended to tho bulletin and are recom- ended to the serious consideratton of everyone who contemplates borrowing ‘money. The bulletin also advises the farmer to secure the lowest possible interest. At frst sight this seems too obvious to be worth mentioning. Of ‘course the interest should be as small ‘as posalble. Everybody knows that— except the lender. But if the other rules aro observed, if the borrower manages his nancial affairs soundly, he will be surprised to find bow much easter it is to obtain favorable terms. The right Kind of lender does not want to foreclose mortgages; he wants his money back with « fair promt, Wke any other merchant. For money that {s borrowed wisely, for money that is sure to be repald, he charges low faterest.

FARMERS AS NOMADS. ‘The frequency with which American farmers move trom one farm to an: other and the instability of the occu: ‘pancy of farms, scapraing te the cen: sus bureau, “very Ukely forms one of ‘the chlef causes for the decline of rural prosperity.” ‘The census bureau has made public Agures giving tho results of its queries to farmers, asking them bow long they have lived on thelr farms. Of the 661,502 farmers in the ‘United States on April 16, 1910, 6,794, 768, oF 91 per cent, answered the ques- tion satisfactorily. Approximately 52 per cent of all those who answered hhad occupied thelr farms leas than five years. In the North 87 per cent, or nearly three-irths of the farmers, had opar ted their farms for five years, while only 22 per cent had been there one Year or less, In the West the propor- Uons were 44 and 27 per cent, respec- tively. In the South only 41 per cont had been on the same farm five years or longer, and 34 per cent, or over one- third, had been there one year or less. More than 1,000,000 farmers had lived ‘on their farms loss than a year. “The short period of occupancy for over halt of all the farmers of the United States;".says the census bu: eau, “becomes all the more signif cant when {t is taken Into considera: tion that tt requires three or four years for a fatmer to become acquaint- ed with the various conditions on his farm, such as soll, ellmate, ete, and ppt it tn condition for ralsing crops.” NEVER HEARD OF MARSHALL. ‘The bureau of engraving and print- ing % now banding out to tourists photograph of Vice-President Mar shall, done up in a neat little package. ‘The other day an Indiana man who visited the bureau in company with hig tenyearold daughter received one of the packages and both he and the Gaughter Were under the tmpression that It contained a senple of United States money. When they returned to the hotel and opensd the package, the, daughter exclaimed, with some disgust, “Oh psbaw.” ‘The indianian, in relating the inck dent to the vicepresident the next day, drew from Mr. Marshall the re- mark that greatness was not always what it seems to be, and then he re- lated this story: On his recent trip to Florida the entire jwlice foree of Jacksonville was appsrently assem- Bled at tho rallrond station at the hour of bis arrival. An tld negro rest- dent of the town happined slong by the station just before ttain timo and, noticing the presence o! so many po- Vcemen, made inquiry is to what it meant. “We are expecting Vice-President Marshall,” said the cillzen of whom he made inquiry. “Well, I never heard of him, but I knew you all was lookin’ for some big dosperado,” sald the old man. NOT A PEACOCK ROW. There are,,in most cities, even in New York, a few quiet little places which get’ on by thelr exceptionally good cooking. But they do not make the proprietors millionaires. ‘There ‘s one place in Washington where a fried chicken {s really a fried chicken. Among discriminating persons the ex- collence of the fried chicken !s admit- ted, but the restaurant remains hum- ble and comparatively obscure. It will never boast a peacock row or offer ita patrons ‘choice between four or five ining rooms.

RAGOUT MAKES SAVORY DISH With Veal, or Any Other Meat, French Cook Turns Out Concoction That tea Telumph. ‘A writer In a French newspaper lauds a ragout of veal (or other meat), declaring it as savory and nourishing a dish as any one could desire, It Js algo said to be a’ most economical dish for a famfly, and this 1s how the French cook prepares it: She uses about two pounds of the shoulder of veal, which she codks for 20 minutes or so in a small iron pot, with salt, pepper and butter, until {t is well browned. She turns it over from time to time Once she adds a small wineglassful of water to prevent burning, (She is very chary of spoll- Ing good things by water dilution, and in the fron pot there is little dan- ger of burning.) She then sprinkles and stirs {n well two teaspoonfyls of flour—that 1a, she sprinkles it over the meat and turns the meat over and over; then she adds four large car- rots cut into small dice, four onions (sliced), several pieces of parsley. about two cupfuls of peas and a glase- ful of water. She cooks a plateful of ‘small, uncooked potatoes, cut in half. From time to time she stirs It, and the savory steam that arises at each removal of the lid is 6 promise amply fulfilled when partaking of it later.

In this much bemonumented land it is rather curious that no monument has yet been set up anywhere to commemorate the loyalty of the slaves that remained on the plantations during the Civil war. Of course commemoration of that sort belong to the old slave states, but citizens of the North can regard the matter with interest, if not with the same vital and personal interest that citizens of the South, may feel. Both during the war and in the half century since its termination Confederates have been warm in their expression of esteem for the faithful slaves this problem. If Mr. Edmond would talk with Mr. Washington today went to the army, guarding faithfully the women and children whom the white men of the South had to leave at home when the call to arms came.

If Mr. Edmond would talk with Mr. Washington today went to the army, guarding faithfully the women and children whom the white men of the South had to leave at home when the call to arms came. Now the omission will probably be rectified since at the recent reunion of Confederate veterans at Jacksonville a motion was adopted recommending that such a monument be erected in the capital city of each of the former slave states. A little reflection serves to show one how richly the commemoration is deserved. Singularly beautiful and touching was the loyalty of those black people to the families of their masters. The fact that the white men dared leave their wives and children to the protection of the black men who were their slaves is in itself a tribute of which the American negro can always be proud and now monuments in the capital cities of the South will permanently recall to mind a reliance that was not misplaced. A hematite ore discovered on the Kleenai river has been acquired by a Vancouver company. It is stated that a large body of ore has been removed by a glacier and deposited over an area one mile square. The travelers who boast about the number of times they have crossed the Atlantic should hearken to the story of Donald McCave, a greater on the steamship Oceanic. He has made 380 voyages to America and back. It is estimated that he has traveled 2,400,000 miles on the Atlantic ocean. He made 250 trips on one vessel, the Teutonic.

I desire to reply to a letter of A. S. Edmonds in the "Public Mind" column of the Times of the twenty-second, writes H. O. Cook in a communication to the Kansas City Star. Mr. Edmonds, in comparing the views of Mr. Villard and Mr. Booker T. Washington in his Atlanta address, sees a wide difference in the opinions of these two men, and concludes that "certainly Mr. Washington knows, if anyone does, the best means of solving this problem." If Mr. Edmonds would talk with Mr. Washington today he would find that he (Mr. Washington) has made a long jump since that Atlanta address. Moreover, Mr. Edmonds, as a great many others, has the impression that the men who believe and are working with Mr. Villard are opponents of Mr. Washington's views, among men, on the contrary, thoroughly believe in the policy of industrial education and the accumulation of property for the negro, but do not believe that these alone will secure all those rights and privileges that are justly due him as an American citizen. Mr. Villard, with thousands of others in this country, feels that the negro needs not only this education and material wealth, of which he is securing more and more every year, but that he deserves justice in our courts, equal opportunities in civic and political life and the privileges of enjoying the best in a country which he has helped to build and protect. Cola nuts, which have been exported from the Gold Coast of Africa to the value of about $450,000 annually for several years, advanced in 1912 to $650,000 worth.

EASY TO KEEP FOOD FRESH Fruit and Vegetables May Be Bought While Cheap and Preserved Almost Indefinitely. It is much more injurious to food to keep it in a box with a scant supply of ice than to leave it covered on a pantry shelf where there is a good supply of fresh air. If one must be economical with ice wrap each cake a piece of old wooden blanket, which must be removed and billed in water by making soda once a week. Fruit and vegetables may be bought at the height of their clearness they are at their host and chapet, and by simple and safe methods kept until a later time, when they will be more of a delicacy because out of season and more expensive to buy, and more than likely not in the market at all. Lettuce, parsley and all other green things may be kept delicously fresh if first washed in cold water, shaken and then packed in a tnail that has a very tight cover, so that the air may not penetrate to them, and set in a cool place. In the case of lettuce, when the cover is removed the leaves will pop up and you will find them as crisp and fresh as if they had just come from the garden. When lettuce that has wilted to a sorbate will revive wonderfully if subjected to a few hours of such treatment. To putty creams that be oat raw, use a pinch of boric acid powder in the water in which they are washed. Tomatoes picken when just ripe and firm and attached to the stems will keep indefinitely with no noticeable loss of freshness if covered with brine made by dissolving a teacupful of salt in a gallon of fresh water. Place them in an earthen vessel. A mixture of water and vinegar also keep them fresh for a long time. To treat cabbage in order to have it retain all its fresh, crisp, clean qualities for a long time, strip off the root and old outside leaves clear down to a compact head. Take two or three thicknesses of clean newspapers and wrap up each cabbage in a tight, neat little bundle. Place in a box or barrel. If you will take freshly gathered green corn on the cob or carefully shelled peas or beans and dip them in boiling water, then dry them in a room while there is a free circulation so that they will keep for a long time and retain all their freshness and flavor. WASH THE CELERY STALKS Advice Given by the Department of Agriculture Should Be Heeded by Every Housewife. Since the United States Department of Agriculture has discovered that it is practically impossible to bring satisfactory celery to market unless the plants have been sprayed with bordeaux mixture, or the salts of copper declared injurious for use in food products, two warnings have been issued, one to the housewives telling them to wash the celery before using it, and the other to the farmers telling them that the danger in using this blight preventative was due to a faulty spraying apparatus. It should be spread at high pressure to make a fine mist instead of in a stream which settles on the leaves and runs down the stalks. In this way it settles in the roots and is not washed away by the rain. However even if the spray is properly used the department of agriculture advises the consumer to break the bunches and wash and scrub the stalks before they are eaten. Chemical analysis proves that his cleaning removes nearly all the copper left by the spray and prevents injury to those eating the celery. Rhubarb Ice Use the red-stalk variety of rhubarb. Wash well, cut finely and stew until soft in plenty of water, making a thin sauce. Then strain and measure. Add a cupful of sugar to a pint of juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is cold, then freeze. A dash of orange peel may be cooked with the rhubarb, and the juice added to the cold mixture. This may be made into more elaborate icees by adding mingues—plain or marshmallow or almond, candied orange peel or cherries and various other dainty touches will modernize the original idea. Helpful Suggestions After you have washed and starched your custains spread on the lawn with a tooth pick in each scallop. To remove ink from white clothes soak in milk and wash as usual. To take out mildew soak in chloride of lime and put in the sun. Use peroxide on scorched linens and put in the hot sun. For green grass stain use molasses and wash. To remove paint from your clothes soak well in turpentine and wash while wet. Summer Napkin Ring Idea In a large family or in a boarding house where it is not possible for every one to have a napkin ring, it is difficult to keep the napkins separated. A good way is to write the name of the person on a bright, new clothespin and simply place this on the napkin. In this manner they can be separated when they are in a bunch. If they are to be used for children they could be painted different colors. What to Do With the Covers. Save the covers of cocoas or mustard boxes to use for cleaning frying pans and saucepans. Hammer down sharp side. Grip the corners of the cover, the rounding corners of the covers fit in the round pans much better than anything you can buy for the purpose. Strawberry and Rhubarb Jam Clean and cut the rhubarb into inch pieces, but do not peel. To one pint of rhubarb add half a pint of strawberries, cleaned and hulled. Cook for 10 minutes.

FOUND-A HUSBAND TWO VIEWS OF LIFE Bx CHANNING POLLOCK There was a perfunctory note in the applause which warned me that the people in front were not greedily anxious for another encore. Accordingly, I shook my head at the director of the orchestra, smiled sweetly and tripped off the stage. Fred Allen, the press agent of the show, walked over to meet me. "Got a minute before you go on again?" he inquired. "Ten." I answered. "Miss Hammack, were you ever divorced?" I took a step in that direction. I replied. "Never got married." "That's too bad." he sighed. "However, it can't be helped. You can say you've been divorced, can't you?" I nodded. "Well, then, tomorrow I'm going to put an advertisement in the Lost and Found column of the Sphere. I'm going to say the writer has dropped a bag containing $10.30 and a decree of divorce, and that the finder can have the ten thirty if he'll return the decree. See?" I nodded again. "What'll that do?" "It will suggest a funny story to every reporter in New York. All you've got to do is to tell a straight story and mention the show so often that they won't be able to leave its premises." I do so. "Yes," I answered. "Wait here for me till the end of the act." Fifteen minutes later Allen told me the whole story of my past life. Good gracious, what a liar a man must be to succeed as a press agent! He said my husband's name was Harry Hammack, and that we had been separated since 1899. We had no children. I had lost the decease somewhere on Lexington avenue, and I was anxious the next morning, and I was afraid that without it I would not be able to marry again. The hall-boy brought me a copy of the Sphere before I had eaten a bite the next morning, and on the tenth page I found this: "LOST—On Monday, probably between 42d and 57th streets on Lexington avenue, bag containing $10.30 and a decree of divorce. Finder may keep cash if he will return decree to Margaret Hammack, 310 Lexington avenue." That was all, and it was enough. Men from the evening papers bothered me all the morning and men from the morning papers besieged me most of the afternoon. I got rid of them and went into my bedroom, pulling the curtains between that apartment and the parlor, and began to take off my clothes. I had just slipped out of my waist when somebody knocked at the door. "Well, who is it?" I inquired angrily. There was no answer, but I heard the sound of a footfall on the other side of the curtains. I waltzed into the parlor and found myself confronting a dapper young man who was rocking comfortably to and do. "Well!" I observed, "I like your name." "That's the first time I ever heard you say so," he retaliated. "How are you, Madge?" Upon my word, the man took my breath away. "What do you—I should say, whom do you take me for?" "My wife," he answered. "Your—I beg your pardon—your—well, who are you?" "Henry Hammack!" "Oh Lord!" I said. "You never were my husband in your life." "You're Mudge Hammack?" "Margaret Hammack—yes." "And the man you married was named Henry Hammack." "I never married any man—Hammack, Jones, Brown or Smith." "Then how did you get the name?" "From the man my mother married." "And this clipping?" "Is a hawk. I give you my word of honor that I haven't a husband. I'm playing a part in." "The Cannabial King," explained "and the press agent of the show put that advertisement in the papers in order to bring the attraction to the attention of the public. He didn't suppose for a moment that there was a real Harry Hammack hanging around." "I be cussed!" observed Mr. Hammack in a tone that made me certain Mr. Allen was being caused at that very moment. Then he added: "What if this thing should scare up the real Mrs. Hammack. I haven't seen her for twelve years. Well, we'll pray for the best. I would like to call on you again. Do you know you made me sorry for a second that we'd been divorced?" "We hadn't." "No." He moved toward the door. "I'll drop around Sunday." He opened the door. "I think you said that every other man alive shares my ill luck in not being your husband?" "I'm single, if that's what you mean." "Yes, that's what I mean. Thank you. I'll see you later." He stepped into the hall, closing the door after him, and I heard him trot (Copyright) The Result "What do you think of this proposition for women to go on a kissing strike for the vote?" think that justice will set their faces against it.

Possible, by One Method, Altogether to Do Away With Boredom, While the Other One invites the Dressed Affliction. There is a flat, unadventurous way of looking at life which gloses everything with an uninteresting familiarity. This is the outcome of that spirit of tired old age which is just as characteristic of certain youths and maidens as of the people whose actual days have been long in the land. There is a manner of viewing life which imparts fresh tints to the familiar, which means a never-ending succession of exquisite and vitally interesting pictures, and which altogether scotches that bugbear boredom, if it does not indeed deny existence to the dull creature. This is an attribute of eternal youth, which is just as much at home with gray hairs and trembling limbs as with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. You are free to make your own choice between one attitude and the other—but always the direction of the business must come from your own heart. After all, what are boredom, pessimism, cynicism and the rest of the bogey train with which men frighten themselves into misery, but the result of concentration on one poor, puny, petty personality and that one your own? Like mice on a treadmill, we solennly work day by day in a fatuous, never-ending circle, sick with familiarity of the procedure, drugged with the stupidity of the affair. But, unlike the mice, we are inhabitants of no confining cage, but are free to girdle the very earth with our footsteps if we put effort and concentration into the task. For no man is there a space allotted where solely his interest must expend itself. Circumstances may seem to confine certain people to lime surrounding, it would be said that certain people have not sufficient strength of mind and of will to evade certain circumstances. But, even so, there is sufficient material in any street of any small country town to keep a real observer interested for the space of his natural life. One man's eyes will find perpetual interest and stimulant in contemplation of the varying shadows, which chase one another across a field, in the study of the shading lights which each hour brings, in observation of effects and contrasts. Another man will know only that the hedges bounding the field have been familiar to him all his life, that he has trod the pathway which cuts across from stile to stile since diving days. Therefore he will dwell your, bestly cannot possibly be concerned. His soul sighs for the remote Bermuda, the farthest Andes, and he is convinced of being able to track beauty to her lair in any other spot but the exact one on which destiny has cruciately placed him. As he wilt itwily closing his eyes, what matters it that spring comes dancing with her daintiest gifts; that summer wraps the land in her warm embrace; that autumn brings her ruddy dyes for wondrous transformations, or that winter sets all a sparkling with her white magic? It is all one to him, for he is suffering from self-imposed blindness. The habit of self-interest may have absorbed all available thought, until life refuses to express itself in terms other than those of the first person. Whatever the reason, the disease is a deadly one which confines interest to an ever-narrowing circle.—Irene Weston in the Chicago American. Motor-Car Window Opener. The cumbrous method of raising and lowering the windows of motor-cars and other carriages by means of a strap will soon be superseded by a German invention. By the new device the inmate of the carriage presses upwards or downwards a handle, and the window will be lowered over the window can be raised or lowered to any required height, and will automatically stay where placed. The ingenious device has been brought before the notice of the motor-car body builders and its practical use demonstrated by means of a working model. Fresh Butter A firkin of fresh butter, which must have been made generations ago, has been dug up in swamp ground at Ballinahove by workmen employed by Mr. R. H. Mitchell of Desertmartin, Ireland. The firkin is about two feet in height, with a circumference of about ten inches. It appears to have been scooped out of a tree trunk, and on its sides are a couple of handles with holes through them—probably for the purpose of holding cords, so that the firkin could be carried on the back, it contains 28 pounds of butter, which is in a fair state of preservation.

The workingmen's compensation act which went into effect Wednesday and is somewhat like the same measures in twenty-two other states will have quite a bearing on the moral and economic conditions. While the law attempts to insure a fair dealing with the injured it has placed the scale low. This is an attempt to distribute what would otherwise constitute dam- tions. While the law attempts to insure a fair dealing with the injured it has placed the scale low. This is an attempt to distribute what would otherwise constitute damages given in court. It is proven by statistics that one family in eight get a settlement for damages; the law contemplates that every person shall have something. It is provided that the injured party shall have medical attention and hospitalization for two weeks free. It is not decided whether the company shall furnish the doctor at the exclusion of the choice of the individual or the family. Since the companies usually have contracts there will no doubt be some attempts at coercion, since the man is going to favor the person he works for. The employer has the right to send in a physician to ascertain the true state of affairs and to prevent malingering, as there will be an attempt, on the part of some individuals, to get half pay until the end of the forty week period. One of the important clauses provides that no accident will be paid where intoxication or partial intoxication can be attributed to the cause. This puts the drinker at a decided disadvantage. In the first place men will not want to hire drinkers; in the second, if a man have the reputation of drinking, will it not rather put him to the trouble to prove that he was sober? Humane as the law appears, will it not have the tendency to put a premium on young men who can better protect themselves from accidents at the expense of old men who still have something to do? Will it not rather make the single man a preferable employee, since he has fewer dependents? All these changes affect us as members of society in the long run. It is coming to a question of the employer seeking the best man for the place, one who will by his sq 'Apqo βιαωις sq 'βιαωις αβρας clear judgment and good habits make the safest risk. All these things point to the realm of preventive medicine. A man needs good eyes, keen eyes, an alert brain, a strong body that is properly rested at night and not less active on account of the previous night's dissipation. Men are going to become more interested in their employees' mode of living than ever, for it is a matter of dollars and cents to them. Read the law and 'then get some lawyer to tell you about it, so that you know your status; it will be a two dollars well spent; then when you are hurt you will know what to do and what to expect.
