A WORD IN SEASON.

If you would have your boys pure,
make comrades of them and then live
as you would wish them to live. There
are few things more fruitful than ex-
ample, either good or bad. What do
you know of the associates of your
boys? With what sort of companions
is the most Of their time spent? Do
you wish your boys to associate with
those whose language is interladen
with profanity; with one whose langu-
age is vulgar and one whose thoughts,
words and deeds are immoral? Are
you sure your boy is free from these
defects? We trust that every parent
who sees this article will take time to
carefully think about the matter, and
consider whether he or she has been
doing his or her own duty. There is
little danger of being too careful 1--WE
do not say strict the great danger lies
in being too careless. Keep your boys
home as much as possible and do make
it possible to do so at night at least
Do your utmost to provide suitable en-
ployment and amusement for them at
home, and assist them in their choice
OF friends and companions. Exercise
care in the matter, and it can be done
without making your boy suspicious of
you, or without irritating him, but it
will instead, delight him to see the in
terest you have displayed.

SUCCESS ONLY THROUGH Toll

SUCCESS ONLY THROUGH TOLL.
| Our young readers of this column
especially the young men should re-
member that success is found most
often in the path of toll. There is no
way to genuine success except through
toil---either by head or hand. At the
battle of Crecy in 1916, the Prince of
Wales, finding himself heavily pressed
by the enemy, sent word to his father
for help. The father watching the
battle from windmill, and seeing his
son was not wounded and could gain
the day if he would, sent word, "No |
will not come. Let the boy win his
spurs for, If God wills, | desire this
day to be his with all it's honors."
Young man, fight your own battles all
| through and you will have the victory.
Oh, it is battle worth fighting Two
monarchs of old fought duel, Charles
Y and Francis, and stakes were king
doms, Milan and Burgundy. You fight
with sin and the stake is heaven or
| hell.
Do not get the fatal idea that you are
a genius, and that therefore there is
no need of close application. 1t is here
that multitudes fail. The curse, o; the
age is the geniuses; men with enormous
self-conceit and egotism, and nothing
else. We had rather be an OK than an
eagle; plain and plod, dim and useful
rather than-high flying and good for
nothing but to pick out the eyes of
carcasses. Extraordinary capacity
without work is extraordinary failure
There is no hope for the person who
begins life resolved to live by his wits
| for the probability is that he has not
| any. 1t was not safe for Adam, even
in his unfallen state, to have nothing
to do, and therefore God commanded
him to be farmer and horticulturist
lie was to dress the garden and keep
it. and had he and his wife obeyed the
divine injunction and been at work,
| they would not have been sauntering
under the trees and hankering after
the fruit that destroyed them and their
posterity; proof positive for all ages
to come that those who do not attend
to their business are sure to get into
mischief.

Shark Oil is Used.

IL is known fact that some cod liver
oil from the warmer fishing banks is
adulterated with oil from the shark
and haddock, and sold in many places
for medicine purposes. Unfortunately
this fact is not known by small pro.
ducers who procure it in good faith
from jobber who in turn purchased it
from dealer, ETC., etc., with the ulti-
mate. result that the consumer is the
real sufferer.
There is one way, however, to be abso-
lutely sure that this popular medicinal
oil is OF superior undeflled quality and
that is by following physicians ex-
ample and insisting on the pure, gen.
uine Scott's Emulsion, the makers OF
which import their oil direct from the
northern coast Of Norway in sealed
metal containers, and the oil is then
tested to insure It's purity. ADV.

that on this day, birds begin to couple;
hence perhaps arose the custom of

ments he would have to make upon
 the loan would be commensurate with the increase in his income which the improvement or enlargement of his farm would bring him. He would
 face no danger of foreclosure so long as he made .is small annual payments and kept his farm up. He would not 1 be bothered finding persons every l three or five years who were willing
 to renew his loan. He would not have to pay renewal commissions and he would be sure that the interest rate which he secured at the beginning of
 the loan would not be raised on him
 the minute that money became scarce.
 Finally, and most comforting of all to the farmer, he would know that
 the last year of the loan would carry
 him out of debt without his having
 to impover-sh himself paying back
 the whole principal of his loan in one
 lump.
 Would not American farmers. if
 loans on such terms were offered them,
 be glad to borrow to improve their
 farms? Would It not be profitable for
 farmers to buy up the abandoned
 farms of the East which only need
 improvement. albeit costly improve
 ment, to make them as good as any other land? Would 1t not be profit able for farmers to place under cul- tivation tho unused lands of parts of the West, which are good lands but which likewise require costly improve ments to make them productive?
 Consider the thousands of acres of rich and productive land opened up to farmers by tho irrigation projects  never would have attempted to i'm | prove such lands if they had had to l depend upon funds borrowed on priv ate mortgages. There are thousands ! of other acres of land lying idle today | simply because it requires too much | money to put them into condition and | because the terms under which that money would have to be borrowed | are too burdensome. The American consumer has a direct interest in this subject since statistics show that the increase in prices of foodstuffs Is at least roughly in proportion to the supply and demand. The demand of all foodstuffs in the United States is much faster than the supply and no matter how much artificial profit the middlemen may be taking out of the sales of foodstuffs. an in creased supply that could keep pace with or pass the demand would lower prices or at least prevent further iu- ereases which otherwise will be bound 10 come.
 Although the intensive cultivation oractised in France is out of the ques- ion as far as American farmers are it would be profitable and , for American farmers to . develop their lands to the highest point of productivity and to employ n their farming the most improved ( types of farm machinery and the I most scientific methods. In other words, there is room for great i'm )rovement in the plants or food fac ( ories of the American farmers. Those I will be made if the I armers can secure the money to do I t upon favorable terms. (
 Increasing the number of acres un- i Ter cultivation; increasing the produc- { ion per acre of the land now under I and lowering the cost of i to the farmer: these three [ hings could be done by extending to c he farmers ideal credit facilities and { hese three things would solve the g

problem of the high cost of living at ! least in so far as it is q question of food production and not a question either of middleman's control or the cost of high living.
 There are many reasons for believ- l ing that the Credit Foncier of France is a better model for an American
 institution than the German institu- lions. In the first place the history of farm mortgages in the United States
 has been such that at the outset it would be necessary to have an institu- ton back of American land mortgage bonds of as great strength as possible.
 The stronger that institution. the
 wider the market obtainabIe for the
 sale of the bonds and the lower the rates of interest at which the money could be obtained for the farmers. The German mortgage institutions are all provincial organizations except
 their mortgage banks which are copied directly from the Credit Fon- cier. Most of the German mortgage institutions arc cooperative associa- tons and 1t is not practicable to or ganize cooperative association de- pendant upon representative manage ment over an entire country, even over a country the size of Germany. It would probably prove even more i'm practicable in the United States. A provincial or state market for German land bonds is perhaps sufficient but in the United States where interest rates are so generally high and where the rate varies so greatly between the states, it would be necessary to command at last a national and pre- ferably an international market This could only be done by a national mort gage bank. Whatever danger there might be of private monopoly of the business could be prevented at the outset by Government super vision and control. The Credit Foncier is operated under strict government control and it is forbidden to charge farmers on their loans more than 6 per cent over the price which it pays for the money Itself. As a matter ot ! fact, the Credit Foncier only charges | them 4 per cent over their own rate | Thus the interests of the farmers are absolutely protected.
 
 The administrative affairs of the | Credit Foncier are handled by gov ernOr, two sub-governors, and a board | of directors. The governor and sub- governors are all appointed by the President of France and there must be at least three high government officials upon the board of directors The entire organization is placed under he direct supervision of the French Ministry of Finance. This shows the complete control which the govern nent exercises over the affairs of the 1ank. Moreover the Credit Foncier IS 'equired to invest one-fourth of it's capital in French government secur- ties and one-fOurth in buildings of he society. government securities de- Dosited with the Bank of France or n loans to French colonies.
