CHAPTER iii.

Finally the great day arrived!
The merchants son, who was
making believe to be a Turkish
prophet, dressed up in a new
dressing gown and started out
again for the castle. This time,
as before, he rode through the
air in his trusty Flying Trunk.
When he reached the palace, the
king and the queen and the prin-
cess, with all the court attend
ants, were sitting awaiting him.
The first thing the queen did,
after introductions were over,
was to ask the merchants son to
tell story.

merchants son. And he COM

WILL URGE SAVING
RICH FARM LANDS
Judge Asher and Judge kayanaugli
to Confer on Proposed
Strengthening OF Levees.

Little Rock. Aug. 29.-The next
steps to be taken by County Judge
Joe Asher to secure government AID IN
making improvements on the Arkan-
sas river below this city will be de-
termined after a conference which he
will hold within the next few days
with Judge William kavanaugh.
The matter of the unfavorable re-
port of government engineers on the
proposed improvement will be gone
over thoroughly by Judge Asher and
Judge Kavanaugh, and if any way can
he found to press the matter further
with the government it will be done
The object for which County Judge
Asher is working is not to improve
the river for navigation purposes, but
to strengthen the levee on the river
side of the Fourche Island and prevent
the flood waters from running over
%. 900 acres of valuable farming
land
The river has slowly encroached
upon the levees until now it beats dl-
rectly against them The solution de-
cided upon to save these valuable
farming tracts was to have the gov
eminent rip-rap the weakening levees.
After preliminary survey the United
States army corps of engineers sub
mitted an adverse report.
Judge w. NJ. Kavanaugh presented
the matter personally before the war
department at Washington some time
ago and it may be that he will ar
range to pay another visit to the ma
tional capital and point out the i'm
perative need for the proposed pro-
lection if the farm lands of this rich
and thickly settled section OF the
county are to be saved from flood de-
vastation.
County Judge Joe Asher said today
that he would try and confer with
Judge Kayanaugh the first Of next
week as to what steps to take next.

1.-THE worst feature of the farm
mortgage IN this country is in its
individual character. Life insurance
companies control practically the
only source of money to which the
farmer may turn in disposing OF his
mortgage besides the individual lend
er or his direct agent The indlviduai
lender controls the market. There
fore American farmers today are
paying one rate of interest in one
state and another elsewhere.
THE effect of the European sys-
TEN is TO break all connection be-
tween the mortgagor and the mort
gasee. An institution is established
which appraises the land OF trainers
desiring mortgage loans. The loans
are granted by such institution which
retains the mortgage. Then mortga-
ge bonds secured by the mortgages,
but as the direct obligation of the in
situations, are issued. No one bond
is secured by one mortgage but each
bond is lien against all OF the
mortgages.
