knew of one Kansas City bank which
holds fifty-two mortgages on as many
machines was looked upon with skep-
ticism by twelve out of eighteen bank
ers interviewed.
The situation as regards the farm
ers and the auto was well put by one
of the Kansas City bankers: Some
people in the cities may be riding in
automobiles when taey can Ill afford
it, but this does not apply to the west
ern farmer And for that matter.
there are now, and always will be,
people owning horses and pianos and
diamond rings who can't really afford
to do so.

The manufacture of automobiles has
expanded so rapidly that the competi-
tion of the manufacturers might have
been expected to bring prices down,
but the demand has increased even
faster than the production, so that
the prices remain high. What the
profits of manufacture are may be
guessed from the fact that one con
Germ in Michigan engaged in making
medium and low-priced machines has
just divided among its shareholders q
cash dividend of 30 per cent and a
stock dividend of 900 per cent. The
capitalization has been increased
from $500, 900 to s3.Ooo,0Oo without any
contribution by the shareholders.

aTHE SUM-

1.-THE SUM-"
A little dreaming by the way;
A little toiling, day by day;
A little pain, little strife,
A little joy-and that is life.
A little short-llved summers morn,
When joy seems all so newly born,
When one days sky is blue above,
And one bird sings-and that is love.
A little sickening of the years,
The tribute of few hot tears.
Two folded hands, the falling breath,
And peace at last-and that is death.
Just dreaming. loving, dying so,
The actors in the drama GO
A fitting picture on wall.
Love, death, the themes; but is that
all?

TO MAKE
MONEY

Good farms at low price are be-
coming scarce in the Willamette val

there are still chances to pick up
fine lands for a reasonable figure
There is a farm of 14O acres one
mile from Sublimity, Marion county.
Oregon, and the best land that is for
sale at an astonishing low price for
60 days. Two-thirds of this 140-
acre farm is level land, One-third Is
rolling. II is entirely fenced, most
ly with woven wire fence, and there
are between so and 90 acres under
cultivation. There is some small
timber on the place suitable for
cord wood for home use. 1t is wa
tered by a running stream. one well,
and two springs. There is fine

PORTLAND
WOMEN BUY
THE BONDS
WHEN BANKS AND BOND COM
PANIES REFUSE TO PURCHASE
BROADWAY BRIDGE BONDS,
THE WOAIAN'S CLUB GETS
BUSY.

Portland, Ore, June 28.-Because
banks and bond companies refuse TO
buy the Broadway bridge bonds, on
account of litigation brought against
the city by persons opposing the con-
struction of another municipal
bridge across the Willamette river
to connect East and West Portland,
club women today subscribed SILL
900 for the bridge bonds. At a meet
ing gs0f the Women's Club the mem
bersbip subscribed $1,000. Immedi-
ately after the Women of Woodcraft
subscribed for an additional $40, 900
With this as a starter several com
mittees were appointed to wait upon
the wealthy women of Portland, who,
it is believed, will subscribe and as
sist in the movement.
When told of the action of the wo-
mems club Mayor Simon was highly
elated. "They never fail at any
thing" he exclaimed. Officials of the
club declare that the women will sell
the entire issue of $25O,OOO among
their sisters.
The bridge, when completed, will
cost $2,OOO,OOO. The present bond
issue was voted to pave the way for
actual construction.

IBRAHIM
is HANGED

Cairo, Egypt, June 2S.-Ibrahim
Wardani, assassin of Beutros Pasha,
late premier of Egypt, was hanged
here today, following extreme pre-
cautions on the part of the British
administration to prevent any dem
onstration by the condemned mans
sympathizers.
Il die for the cause of Egyptian
liberty" were the last words of the
premier's slayer.
The hanging took place in the
yard of the government prison here,
and outsiders were iealously exclud-
ed by the authorities. Newspaper
men were barred from witnessing the
execution, and strong detachment
of troops patrolled the streets about
the prison. Many soldiers and po-
lice in uniforms mingled with the
crowds that gathered early.
Later the order was issued that no
large gatherings would be permitted,
and the crowds were dispersed. The
Nationalists, wearing their colored
fezes were in evidence, but they
made no attempt at a demonstra-
tion.
