About Crop Mortgages.

This is a good time to say some-
thing about crop mortgages Did
you give one on last years crop
or any portion of it? Is it bother
ing you any? If yours is not
bothering you, doubtless you know
Some brother who is being harass-
ed BY one, who is in the sweat box.
Did YOU ever stop to analyse what
a mortgage on your crop is? You
know it is a bonbshell loaded with
dynamite under your house liable
to explode at any time. 1t is
worse than the nightmare for it
bears you down, weighing upon
your mind awake and asleep. 1t
goes with you to the field and
constantly nags at you, making
you dread that the crop may be
short. 1t sits upon the clouds
when you look up for rain, mock
ing you with the fear that the rain.
fall may be too much or too little
as the within directs. 1t goes to
church with you, with solemn
visage sitting in the amen corner
and rolling malignant eyes at you.
1t mixes itself with the sermon
and even with the very prayers.
1t portrudes itself between you
and your wife, making you feel
that even she has been sold for a
price. 1t objects to the caresses
YOU give your children. claiming
them as its own. If you or any
of your family get sick, it objects;
to doctor being sent for, because
it may take some Of the crop to
pay his bill. 1t makes you and
yours eat corn bread and clabber
and fat bacon, claiming the poul-
try, eggs, milk and butter, fruits
ard vegetables as its property TO
be sold to satisfy its greed. If
death comes to your home it dane
es on the coffin for it feels that it
has you shackled for another year
If you send your children to school
it growls and protests that mort
gage children are chattels and
need no education. Yes brother,
when the mortgage comes in at
the front door peace and happi-
ness go out the back door, and
despair rears her altar, sable garb-
ed in the home and the raven of
hopelessness croaks Never
more Now do not give any
mortgages this year. If you are
renter and must have help, ask
your neighbor who is able to Fl.
nance you, or assist you in getting
Supplies. Don't give mortgage

bitter cup. When you sign a,
mortgage you help the other fell
low to tie you hand and foot.

:. Millions In J, Moving pictures.

The automobile is commonly accept
ed as the symbol of the luxury of
Americans, and James J. Hill recently
pointed to the estimate that S400, 0O0,-
900 will be spent for automobiles in
the United States this year as a proof
that the times are sadly out of joint
and that the national extravaganza is
at the root of much of our financial
trouble.
But the figures brought out in the
recent Injunction case between rival
moving picture men show that the
humble moving picture absorbs at
least one-quarter as much Of the coun-
trys expenditure as does the lordly
automobile. 1t was shown that Edi-
sons royalties on his moving picture
machines are $1,000 week, that some
100000 visit moving picture shows in
this country daily, and that the in
come from those theatres is $4,000, 900
week, or 800, 100000 a year.
Of course, not all of that is profit,
for those theatres have expenses which,
while small as compared with dra-
matte theatres, are yet large in view
of the five and ten cents admission
fees charged The whole Sloo, 600, 900 is
money spent by the people for amuse-
ment, however, and as that money
comes from the poorer families in the
main it shows that times cannot be SO
desperately bad as indicated by the fir
ures of men out Of work and other fig-
ures Of the increased cost of living.
Times may be bad but the people still
squeeze out tidy sums for pleasure.

STATUE TO MAC GAHAN.
Bill In Congress to Honor Noted War
Correspondents Memory.


A newspaper man will have a statue
erected in his honor at Washington if
a bill recently introduced by Repre-
sentative Douglas of Ohio appropriate
ing $4,000 for that purpose becomes
a law. The man whom it is proposed
to honor thus signally was Januarius
Aloysius MacGahan. whose descrip-
tons of the atrocities practiced ON the
Bulgarians by the Turks attracted the
attention of William E. Gladstone, re-
suited in English recognition of Bull
garia's freedom and won for their au-
thor the title of "the liberator Of the
Bulgarians'
MacGahan was a correspondent for
the London Daily News at CONSTANT
nople. He died there in 1878, and in
1884 his body was brought to Ameri-
ca at the expense Of this government
and buried in Ohio, his native state.
The Bulgarians honor his memory an
nually with requiem mass.
