"a barrel of money to loan on
farms," is the heading to $ Kansas
loan agents advertisement, and it is
noticeable in every town in western
Kansas how many loan agents there
are. They must do considerable
business or there would not be so
many of them. The loaning is now
being done on one to FIVE years time
and we hope the borrowers will be
able to meet their obligations, but
in case they are not what will be the
result? Simply be turned out of
house and home, the accumulations
of several years swept away with
disappointment. encouragement and
poverty to contend with. We know
it frequently looks to 3 man who is
opening up 9 farm in the west as if
he would have to raise some money
and in order to do it the farm has to
be mortgaged and generally all the
stock and valuables on the place, a
high rate of interest is paid, as 3
rule twenty per cent, = part of which
is deducted from the principal.
With ever, thing favorable farmer
can meet such an obligation, but
how often misfortune prevents sue
cess in any business, and we fear
time will prove a great mistake has
been made by many of the farmers
in western Kansas. We have known
many who although they could not
see how they were TO get along with
out borrowing money, refused to do
so, and by careful management have
got along just as well and to-day
have their farms and the improve.
ments free of debt. Eastern Colo
rado is settling up fast, and In time
part of the new settlers will think
they will have TO borrow money to
make improvements or to live on
until they raise crop. To all such
we say do not borrow a cent until
you have tried every means in your
ability to get along without. You
may see discauraging times, but it
will be nothing compared to the trial
of lifting mortgage from the farm.

The great success of the Royal Bak.
ing Powder is due to the extreme care
exercised by its manufacturers to make
it entirely pure. uniform III quality,
and OF the highest leavening power.
All the scientific knowledge. care and
skill attained by twenty years. prac-
tical experience Is contributed toward
this end, and no pharmaceutical prepa-
ration can he dispensed with u greater
accuracy, precision and exactDess. Ev-
cry article used is absolutely pure. A
number of chemists are employed to
test the strength OF each ingredient, so
that its exact power and effect in CON-
bination with it's cO-ingredlents is def
nitely known. Nothing is trusted to
chance, and no person is employed in
the preparation of the materials used
or the manufacture of the powder, who
is not an expert in his particular
branch Of the business. AS u conse-
quence, the Royal Baking Powder is
of the highest grade of excellence, al
ways pure. wholesome and uniform in
quality. Each box is exactly like ev-
cry other, and will retain its powers
and produce the same and the highest
leavening effect in any climate, at any
time. The government chemists. aft
er having analyzed all the principal
brands in the market. in their reports
placed the Royal Baking Powder at
the head of the list for the strength,
purity, and WhOlesOmeness, and thou
sands of tests all over the country have
further dem onstrated the fact that its
qualities are, in every respect, unri-
vailed.
