Sunday School Convention.

vention held its annual meeting at

attendance was present and interest

workers. We are safe In saying 1t

the field for more effectual work along
this line.
The subjects, why do Parents
Stay AwayP" How to Interest Those
Boys" and "The Missionary Spirit,
the Model Sunday School" we're very
ably handled ami made us feel that
many are the opportunities and re-
sponsibillties OF Gods children. Sorry
we are that these conventions come
but once a year.
The closing song, "our Sunday
School" put new life in our spirits
and we pray heavens benedictiOn to
rest upon the work. Our motto:

Kansas Mortgages
Are Rated Gilt Edged

Cumulative evidence Of this fact
is apparent on every hand. Daring
the period from 1887 to 1895, many
prominent life insurance companies
withdrew from the west as loan
field. thereby showing that they
shared in the feeling Of distrust in
existing conditions
During the past Eve years those
companies investing their assets in
whole or in partin mortgages, have
again entered the field and are earn
estly striving to secure business
through agents located in the prin-
cipal centers.
ut may be Of interest to note in
this day Of trust agitation that the
rate obtained on mortgage notes is
absolutely regulated by the law Of
supply and demand. 1t is hard to
conceive Of any possible manner in
which the farm mortgage business
could be organized into q trust, unless
some way were to be devised for one
set Of men practically to control the
money markets Of the world.
"Any man who has from $500 up
can become an embryo loan agent, as
there is nothing to prevent him from
loaning that amount to his neighbor
and taking as security a mortgage on
his property. 1t is not necessary for
him to incorporate, or secure char
ter, or license to accomplish this.
Therefore, there are absolutely no
obstacles to interfere with individuals
loanipg money in this way"

ring to the disastrous experiences Of
20 years ago he says:
with the dawning prosperity Of
the west, in Che shape Of better crops
and trade conditions, a new set oi
men appeared in the loan business,
men who were not only honest, but
possessed Of good business judgment,
which they used.
at was 3 long, uphill fight to con-
vince the east that the west still pos.
sessed merit, aud that absolutely safe
loans could be made. 1t seemed
scarcely believable that a country
defaulting in interest and principal,
as the west had been doing for ten
years, possessed anything Of virtue OF
worth on which business might again
be resumed.
with ten years Of wonderful crops
and honest work on the part Of the
loan agents, the case finally has beer
won, and relations between the loar
broker and loan buyer have been grad
ually improved, until today western
loans again command the attention o
conservative investors.

PHONE COMPANIES GOT
OFF VERY EASILY

Although the total assessed valua-
lion OF the telephone companies op-
Grating In Oklahoma last year amount
ed TO S2G7.765 yet is believed by mem
bers of the territorial board of equal
ization that much of the telephone
property Is never listed for taxation
except In general way, and thus the
total valuation OF such property Is cut
down very materially A. G. Seeley,
one OF the statisticians in the office
ol the territorial auditor who has this
branch of the work in charge, states
that the total valuation last year
should have been in the neighborhood
of 100000
Various methods have been used by
the officers of the equalization board
10 ascertain the exact number OF com
panies operating in the territory. and
thus get a correct nrmber for taxa

panies to assess this year. as against
40 last year. yet they feel sure there
are "a number OF companies unincor
p0rated and operating, but whose
names are unknown to the board. OF
course such companies are escaping
