The Memorial service held in the
Methodist Episcopal Church. May 81,
was well attended. the building being
filled to its utmost capacity. The
sermon by the pastor of the church,
Rev. @. o. Beckman, was a masterly
effort, teeming with love and best
wishes for the boys in blue. Among
other dangers to our government he
spoke of the bondage worse than
slavery with which their sons and
daughters must cope, and the dangers
to our national life from the drink
traffic.

- Are you in debt on your farm? Then
you ought to be very much concerned
about how, you are going to pay it off.
Would you not like to look at your
farm and be able to say: 3"It's
all paid for; don't owe a dollar?"
How long have you been in debt and
how much have you really, reduced
your indebtedness in the past fVe years?
.Ifyou are content to pay interest AZ Z. /
your life then our plan viii not appeal
to you. We can help those who want
!stto get out off debt. e There II only one
way for the average man with q family
to support to do this and that is pay
off ! little each year, and if you have
good luck pay more. but pay some any
way. Never sign q big note all due on
q certain day unless you know just how
you are going to pay it. We can loan
you reasonable amount on your farm
in a way SO that you can pay it off
each year at the rate of $87.18 on each
$1,000. If you borrow $4,000 you would
pay $261.54 year, and you can pay as
much more as you are able, but that is
all you would have to pay. This in
Guides both the principal and interest.
If you can't pay that much you ought
not to go in debt, for even at this
amount it will take twenty years to pay
it off and you would pay less than per
cent for interest. -Four per cent on
$4,000 is $12O year, for twenty years
it is So, ,4OO;. add to this the $4,000 and
you have $500 which you would pay.
Multiply. $261.A by 20 and you have
5,230.8O as the total you would pay us.
So we say if you can't get out on our
terms then there is no use trying. :. = s..
We would like to see the day when
every farmer in Mower county was
clear of q mortgage. If we held the
mortgage that would surely happen in
twenty years and when that day comes
your. land will be- worth $500 an acre.
Study how to make your land more
productive. Look up tile drainage,
good seed, get rid of weeds, improve
your stock. A few good hogs will take
care of the mortgage and you can have
the rest of the farm for your living and
improvements. We are Offering those
Of you who mean to stick and get out
of debt good chance. There is no red

You do not want to rip out roots that
