EAT AND HAVE YOUR CAKE

Editor Star: The chief reason
why the people of Germany, France
and some other European nations
have not been reduced to the direst
poverty is because they invent way
to eat their cake and still have it.
The farmers some Of them a hundred
years ago invented the plan and il
has spread all over those regions.
They got together and put mort
gage on their lands, converted the
mortgages into bonds and then sold
the bonds all over the world. That
enabled them to sell their lands and
still keep it. That is all there is to
the credit fancier and landscraft
they wanted to operate their farms
to the fullest extent, and a lot to
! loan to other people.
It is just as easy to establish that
perhaps easier, than if it was in any
European country. The farmers in
any part of the country can form
! an association. issue bonds for two
| thirds the value of their property,
sell the bonds and then have money
to loan for the development of their
farms and to invest in other ways.
There is no law needed except one
that will automatically foreclose a
mortgage without going into the
Icourts That will make the bonds
gilt edge, A No. l security. Savings
banks will take them and trust
funds will be invested in them
Mortgages will seldom be foreclosed
and the farmers will still have their
farms. That is just what the cor
operations have been doing in many
instances. Considerable fog has
been thrown around this plan by
calling it "a rural credit scheme :
All there is to it is: Eat your cake
and still have it.

There is not another piece OF

as much travel over it as this, be-
cause all travel north, south, east

enormous. The progressive spirit
of Extra is aroused and many are
working with. shovels and teams,
hauling the gravel and sand from
john !. Hensley's gravel pit to the
nicely rounded grade that has been
put in condition to receive it. Much
of this work is donated and it is
to be hoped that the farmers will
come to our relief and donate the
hauling of few loads each before
the ground freezes up.
The board of County Supervisors
has constructed and graded a good
cement bridge where the old wood.

men. The Sunday World Herald,
Omaha, in part says.of him:
Everybody knows G. C. Clifton
He is one of the old school stockmer
and dis positive that the best cattle
i'm the world are grown on the
praries of the west. Just how long
he has been in the live stock bus
mess no one can say for certainty
but it is sure he has been in busi-
ness at the yards for over.25 years.
''If there are any good or bad
points about "critterr'' that Mr..
Clifton does not know there is little
use for anyone else trying to To-
cate them. Like other experienc-
ed stockmen Mr.. Clifton thinks that
great mistake is made when grow.
