WARNING AGA|NST
 CHEAP LOAN SCHEME

NSome one recently remarked that it was astonishing how hard some men were willing to work in order to make a dishonest living. The field of rural credit is already producing a number of examples. Certain companies are actively at work promising farmers cheaper money than any body else is able to get on equally good security. The eagerness with which some are accepting the bait is one indi- cetion of the need there is for sound system of rural credit. It is not wholly the fault of the farmer who IS taken in. A great deal of mental energy, combined with marvellous skill is expended in preparing soul-compelling cir culars which seem to promise the farmer everything, but really promise him nothing. If as much thought and skill were exercised in trying to convert sinners, we should be very near the millen- ium.
 Stripped of verbiage and words which darken rather than enlighten the scheme is essen tially as fol- lows: Such a company offers to lend you money on good security at, say 3 per cent interest, and to allow you to repay the loan in easy monthly installments on the amortization plan. This sounds alluring, and if you are not too persistent iii asking what you are to get and when you are to get it, you sign an application for loan on these favorable terms. In a few days you receive from such a company a contract for the loan for which you applied. The con tract which you receive is duly signed by the officers of the com pany. Then you realize that the application signed by you and the . contract signed by the officers of the company together constitute a valid contract, and that you are now in for it.
 Under the terms of the contract you are to begin at once paying off the debt of, say, s1ooo at the rate of s1o a month, but you have not got your SIooo yet. Moreover, you do not know just when you will get 1t. The only thing you know is that you have got to go right on paying SIo month. You have, however, the promise that whenever the company has the money to spare, you will get your loan. Another way of saying the same things is that when your turn comes, you will get it. This means that such a company has not got the money now, and that there are several other gentlemen whose turns come before yours. As fast as the company gets money it lends it out to these men each in turn. When your turn comes, if the company lasts that long, you will get your money.
 Now, where does this kind of company get the money which it is going to lend to you and the other gentlemen who have signed these contra cts? Why, it gets it from you and those same gentle men, and from no one else. Speak ing to all of you collectively, it says, in effect, "Gentlemen, this company has no money of its own, but if you will pay your money into its treasury, we will then be glad to lend it back to you, if you will give good security, on very favorable terms, indeed.

EFFECT OF LONG ASSOCIATION
Marked Facial and Other Resem-
bIanees Noticed Among Those Who
Have Been Together Years,

That persons who live together for
a very long period not only acquire the
same mannerisms, but grow a strong
facial resemblance is an established
fact But it is little known that the
same condition often exists among
mistress and servant being associated
together for a long period of years.
There Is usually a strong desire on tina
part Of most servants to ape their
mistresses, and this, added to the fact
OF constant nearness, often exttnds
to facial resemblance.
There are in small town In New
York state two unusual instances Of
this kind Two widows live there, each
of whom has been attended By Worn-
an servant for more than 40 years
In both cases the servants have he~
come so like their mistresses that
they are often mistaken for them and
their cases have attracted attention
far and near Their voices over the
telephone are so alike thar friends
Of the women have given up this
method Of communication.
