In Massachusetts school the teachers
are training their pupils in the banking
business. A real banking establishment
is very well initiated by device set up
in the schoolrooms. Counters are used
instead of money, and by means of them
banking operations are performed and
thoroughly taught to the children.
When these pupils go into the world.
they will all, girls as we'll as boys, know
the difference between discount and in
terest. Actually seeing the papers and
mock money before them and them
selves doing the things they Study about
in their arithmetics will impress the
knowledge of banking upon their minds
more in one week than three months
abstract drumming over their books
would do. It is melancholy to think
of the way arithmetic has to be stuffed
into school children. There is one way
even better than that adopted in the
Massachusetts school, and that is the
plan in vogue in some of the educational
institutions of Holland. There actual
sums of money-the pennies and small
savings of the pupils-are used to illus
trate banking and commercial business.
A strict account is kept always. The
boys are ready to enter commercial life
as clerks and accountants as soon as they
leave these schools. L..

Robert BratOn's restaurant building was dam

American. The Townsend block and the Carew
block were damaged to the extent of S25 each. !
q All sorts of rumors are afoat as to:
how the fire originated, but little
.credence should be given idle rumors.:
Village Marshal Claggett walked past
the rear Of Pierce &. sLudden's store
about 20 minutes before the alarm was
given and he: saw no signs Of FIRE!
There is no use of mincing matters, the
fire was the work of an incendiary, and
the authorities should put forth siren
uous efforts to bring the dastardly per-
petrator of the devilish deed to justice.
1t is time that something was done.
N. E. Jesmer has rented the Newton
building. G. A. Jack has not made up
his mind what to do, but will probably
erect a temporary structure. Louis
Pierson has his salvage in T. H. Ca
ley's warerooms. Crawford & Chap
man will do business tomorrow in the
south wing of Evens & Herdliska's
hardware store. The knights OF
Pythias are without hall, the Pythian
Sisters ditto. Very little was saved
out of either of the Pythian halls.

NUMBER 2.
About Mortgaged Farms.

B Mr. Herbert Myrick has been at pains
to collate from the reports of the census
bureau some statistics of the mortgaged
farms Of the United States. The figures
seem to show that the facts in reference
to farm mortgages in this country have
been greatly overstated.
Mr.. Myrick gives the result Of his
Investigations in the American Agricul
,turist Further, he concludes from the
figures he has had access to that one
years hay crop in the United States
would pay off all the farm mortgages in
existence in this country today. The
amount of farm mortgages increased
Immensely, however, from 1880 to 1890,
50 that from summing up in round num-
bers 1895, 0O0, 900 in 1880, they amounted
to $s77, OO0, 900 in 1890. But meantime
100000 new farms were opened to cult
walton between 1880 and 1890. Really,
therefore, the increased crop Of mort
cages is sign Of progress and agricul-
tural enterprise instead Of a going down
hill on the part Of farmers. Fully four
ffths Of the $s77, 900, 900 Of mortgage
debt was incurred to buy and improve
the farms themselves.
Thirty-three of the states and terrific
ries have reported sufficiently to come
at the truth in regard to the mortgage
question:, From their records it is to be
inferred that 70 per cent of our farms
are all paid for. On the mortgaged lands
the debt averages a per cent Of their
value, or $13, an acre. Thirty dollars
per acre is considered to be the average
value of farms in the United States.
The farm lands Of Missouri are proba-
bly, most heavily mortgaged of any, the
mortgage indebtedness there exceeding
half the value of the acres. While the
amount Of the mortgages thereis large,
however, the number of acres mortgaged
is small, including only about one-fourth
the number of the taxed acres of Mis-
souri,. While the amount of farm mort
cages has increased so largely apparent
~, relatively it has in fact diminished. In
1880 one-ifth of all the mortgage indebt-
edness of the country rested on farm
property. In 1890 only one-seyenth Of
the mortgage Indebtedness was on farms.
Another bit of agricultural statistics not
so cheerful, however, is the table show
ing that, while in 1880 only one-fourth
of the American farmers were tenants,
| in 1890 fully one-third Of them were such.

Buildings and Improvements in
Princeton During the
Year 1898.
Notwithstanding the aim ost universal
depression in business and financial
circles during the year 1898, the vii
lage of Princeton has prospered in a
remarkable degree. Almost 100000
was invested in new buildings and i'm
provements. Several fine business
blocks and many fine residences have
been erected, and to-day there is nota va
can't house in town. There is not an
other small town in the Northwest that
can show better record for the year
1893. The country tributary to Prince
ton has kept pace>with the village and
there has been a large influx of new
settlers. In fact the population OF
Mile Laos county has increased Is per
cent. in the past - months. During
the year just ended Princeton suffered
three disastrous conaagrations, but in
most cases the buildings destroyed
have been replaced by better and more
substantial edifces. The Townsend
and the Carew blocks would do honor
to city of Is, 900 inhabitants. Another
particularly gratifying feature is the
number of substantial and handsome
residences erected. Annexed hereto
