CHANGES MADE IN
MORTGAGE GAME
INCREASE AND MORE STAPLE
VALUE MAKES PROPOSITION
BETTER oNE-LAND sPEcuLA-
TON MAY WORK HAVOC If
CARRIED TO AN EXTREME.

Farm mortgaging in many parts OF
the west is receiving careful consid-
er tion in financial circles, says the
Bismarck Tribune. There has been
during the past decade, an almost un-
interrupted expansion accompanied
later by good deal Of speculation in
cident to the advance in the prices of
land, as well as the prices of products.
A basis for this expansion is seen in
the fact that between 1900 and 1909
the average farm value per acre of
wheat increased from 1871 to 1852,
or more than double. That OF corn
rose from $9.02 I'm the earlier to $500
in the latter year. Oats increased
from $7.63 to S12.29; barley from 1892
to $3.50, and potatoes from STATS to
$3.50 an acre.
There are two main tendencies in
western farm mortgaging, one OF
which is the capitalization of facilities
for farming on more thorough bust
ness principles; and the other the far
more primitive one oftaking up newer
lands by mortgage wherein the haz-
ards Of crop risks and changing values
Of property have yet to be determined
by experience. The danger comes
from the latter rather than from the
former kind.
Probably the maximum OF solvency
in western farm land was reached
about 1901 or 1902, when the heavy
mortgages of 1S93-94 had been largely
cleared away. From the latter period
down to the present, old lands and
new became the subject OF another
era Of mortgaging, the scope of which
has been rapidly extended until eau
tionary signals are justified. Money
stringency in the country districts has
begun to reduce country balances in
the monetary centers. It would be
unfortunate If rural financial re-
sources were to be so completely tied
up with land speculation as to handi-
cap the actual planting, working and
harvesting of the crops for want Of
working funds.

The United Wireless Telegraph
Company will establish two high
power stations in the East, in
the next few months, one on the
south shore Of Long Island,
where a site has already been
selected, and one on the north
east coast OF Maine, where the
company's representatives are
now selecting a site. Both of
these stations will be built for
transatlantic business.
Two high power stations will
be built in che West. One at
San Francisco and one at Seattle.
Another at some point on the
Gulf coast for handling Panama
Canal long distance business.
The Western stations, 1t is ex-
pected, will reach japan. The
first three stations have been
authorized by the Executive
Committee and the plan Is to
have all in operation within 80
days.
The first two stations are to
be built for trans Atlantic bust
ness, and as over 400 miles
have been covered with a COM
paratively small wireless appa-
ratus on the S. S. Korea the
company expects to work across
the Atlantic from both these new
Eastern stations with the hign-
power apparatus with which they
will be equipped. The work That
I is now being done in the West

Tips for Travellers.

Seasickness is something you should
avoid if possible, especially if you are
going on an ocean voyage. The only
occasion on which you will find sea-
sickness at all useful is when you are
thrown in company with large,
square-jawed person who insists upon
telling you how he made his money,
and who deems it his duty to advise
you as to the path of success This
sort of man always wants you to be-
gin in some obscure hamlet on dol
lar week and save all above your
expenses until you have enough to
purchase the framework of monop-
oly Even though you argue with him
that every obscure hamlet is now
crowded with beginners, he will tell
you that you are wrong. Where sea-
sickness is of value to you is when he
gets it.
1t is perfectly easy to tell when you
are going to be seasick The bother
about this incident in your voyage is
to adequately describe it afterward.
There are many remedies for sea-
sickness. Len-on juice is specific
1t should be taken alta ched to ten
pound weight of some sort. The
weight is of no therapeutic value, but
It helps you to keep the lemon juice
down.
Another unfaiiing cure is to get off
the boat and walk around on the land
for awhile.
In crossing the ocean You will OBJ
serve here and there in isolated spots
a lonely man atop of a tall pole. You
will be particularly impressed by this
sight. because the man will be cheer
lily working away in this lonesome
spot, perhaps a thousand miles from
home and loved ones dear. He is one
of the lnemen for the wireless tele-
graph company, and he is stringing
the imaginary wires for that service.
The pole on which he is perched is
also imaginary, the same as the poles
of the earth.
Before you get too sympathetic
about the man. ask the captain and
he will readily inform you that the
man is also imaginary.
From time to time, as you hang
over the bows of the ship and medi-
tate upon the vastness of the sea, you
will observe that minute strand of
something is caught and trailed along
for some distance. 1t is very thin, al
most hair-like in size, and black in
hue.
This is not q weed or a deniZen of
the sea.
II is one of the parallels of longi
tudc
When the captain wants to know
the location of the vessel he will pull
one of these parallels to the deck
look at it's number, and at once he
will have the desired information.
We are often asked what are pools.
Pools are affairs gotten up so that the
man with the red mustache, who is
such a boon companion of the chic
engineer, may win the purse on the
distance travelled by the ship during
the day. You estimate the probable
mileage for the day by your anxiety
to get home.
