Unprecedented Demand for Feed Stuff.
The demand for mill food stuff, has
reached an acute stage in this CITY,
Although both the mills here are run
nlng full time anc turning out more
than the usual amount of bran and
polish, yet they are unable to supply
the demand. They have ceased irving
to handle their products through the
iced stores and are simply delivering
1t to the farmers, who are Tin waiting
at the mill for it. So keen has the
competition become that farmers either
get up IN the middle of the night and
come to the mill before daylight, and
walt Tor the feed to he made, or in
some cases, come TO town and STAY all
night SO as to be on hand on time.
Although the demand for this kind of
leed is SO strong, there seems to be no
decrease in the business done by the
feed merchants, in other lines.

WESTERN MORTGAGES ARE
SOUND INVESTMENTS

1.-THE West has changed from put
ting out artistic and highly orna-
mented securities to simpler and
palmer paper that means real money
said j. r. Clarke, president OF the
Union Central Life Insurance Com
Pauy, who has just spent several days
visiting middle western points and
Abilene, in an interview with the Re-
ELEoToR. The UniOn Central loaned
over as, 100000 on farm mortgages
Of which three-fourths are west OF the
Missouri river, and he is probably,
with his twenty years Of supervision
Of this mode Of investment, more
thoroughly in touch with every phase
Of western business lite than any
one man. 1.-THE early day mortg-
ages" he went on, "were works Of
art in more sense than one. They
appealed to the eastern investor be-
cause OF their fine printing and their
general appearance Of worth, but 1t
was discovered when the time Of set
Element came that many Of these were
based upon excessive appraisement
and had no real basis for their issu-
ance. The result was reaction In
regard 10 all kinds Of western invest
ments, and capitalists both large and
small throughout the East doubted
the financial ability and honesty Of
western people. All that has changed.
The general situation Of today has
not come because Of any change In
the real honesty Of westernsrs, for
they are a mighty high class pOPula-
tion, but because Of better methods
in getting ct the securities and the
handling Of them.
ain the early days the mortgage on
the western farm was written FIRST BY
some Investment company which
gathered 100000 OrsO Of them and
offered them 10 . bunch to some east
efn client. In most cases the invest
msnt company guaranteed these
mortgages snd that, Of course, inside
them look much better 70 the pur-
chaser. Now, these guarantees were
perhaps IN good faith, but when de-
fault Of payment came because Oflnck
Of moisture, and other things. the In
yestmsnt company failed TO make
good and the eastern purchaser vas
left out in the cold. Practically ell

pie. While 1t has never changed Its
methods and consequently has had
practically no losses in its mortgage
loan department, it follows a plan
that has become generally acceptable
by the best informed investors every
where.
ave consider each application for
a loan separately and apart from
every other. In four different ways
we get an estimate Of the real value
Of the property and of the personal
standing Of the borrower. We inves-
tigate not only through regular ap-
praisers and our financial correspond

have direct and definite idea Of the
