Five Rules for Borrowing Money.

Washington, D. c., June S.-Five
rules designed to convince farmers
that there is no magic about credit
are set down in Farmers Bulletin
593, "How to Use Farm Credit. -
which the United States department
of agriculture has just published.
Unless the farmer who is thinking
|of borrowing money fully under
stands these rules and is willing to
be guided by them, the governments
advice to him is: don't. AS it is,
there are probably almost as many
farmers in this country who are
suffering from too much as from too
little credit. Of these rules the
three most important are:
l. Make sure that the purpose for
which the borrowed money is to be
used will produce a return greater
than needed to pay the debt.
?. The length of time the debt is
to run should have a close relation
to the productive life of the i'm
provement for which the money is
borrowed.
3. Provision should be made in
long time loans for the gradual re-
duction of the principal
The first rule is of course the key
to the wise use Of credit. Between
borrowing money to spend on ones
self and borrowing money to. buy
equipment of some sort with which
to make more money there is all the
difference between folly and fore
sight: extravaganza and thrift. II
the money is borrowed for wise
purpose it will produce to pay back
principal and interest and leave a
fair margin of profit for the borrower
into the bargain. If it is borrowed
tor foolish purpose it will produce
nothing and consequently there will
be nothing with which to repay the
loan. From this point of view it
matters comparatively little whether
the interest he high or low. It is

Last Sad Rites.

The funeral services for Mrs. A. G.
Plummer, brief mention of whose
death was made in the last issue Of
the Union, were held from the
family residence Friday morning at
$50 O'Clock. A large number of
neighbors, relatives and friends
were in attendance. The floral trib-
utes were beautiful and profuse.
Rev. E. 3. Service of the NJ: E..

livered a touching and powerful SER
mon, taking for his subject, "We
Fade as Leaf.'' The Methodist
quartet sang several appropriate Sc

Mrs. Plummer was a kindly
woman, esteemed by all who enjoyed
her acquaintance Besides two sons,
a daughter and twenty grandchil-
dren, she leaves numerous friends
who will long cherish her in memory.

tically every male resident of the
country is cordially invited to take
his pick and shovel and sally forth
to battle with stumps, boulders and
ruts in the county's highways. No
particular road will be worked, but
the army will be deployed as evenly
as possible over the entire county.
Over half of the local business men
have accepted the invitation and
have given their employees and clerks
permission to attend. Farmers will
have slightly an advantage over their
brothers as they will be privileged
to fix up the roads adjoining their

NOTES..

Hienie Plaas did the official arbi-
trating for Princeton and as usual
performed the strenuous work in a
commendable manner. A youngster
from Foley assisted in the work and
he did some real assisting, too.
Foley's guardian of the keystone
sack was of rather officious dispo-
sition and INDUCED in few ''pleas-
antries' that were not actually ne
cessary
On the whole Foley played a clean
and snappy game Of ball and they
will be welcome in Princeton any
time.
Princeton's outer defense pulled
off some catches that were spectacu-
lar to say the least. Doane, who
keeps the grass down in left field,
accepted two chances in the seventh
inning that were actually sensa-
tional. ". Roos in center, not to be
outdone by his neighbor, picked a
corking liner right off the top of his
shoe strings.
Berg poled out the longest hit of
the game. He was called out at
third on real close decision.

Rines' and Preus' Records Compared.

- /. =
The state auditor S Office should be
filled by a man who has record for
economy. There are two leading
candidates for state auditor-Speaker
Rines of Mora, and Insurance Com
missioner Preus Of st. Paul. Henry
Rines as speaker reduced house ex-
penses one-ttlird, or 1923. 600 and cut
down the number of house employees
one-third. The insurance commits
sioner, on the other hand, has rec
ord as a public official far different
from this. When he assumed Office
January l. 1911, there were nine per-
sons on the pay roll Of that depart
ment with monthly salary of
81, 1853. %. In May, 1914, three years
and four months later, the number
of employees of the department. had
increased to sixteen and the salary
per month to So, 1863. 30. This is an
increase Of about sixty-6ve per cent
both in number of employees and in
salary expenses. There has been no
large increase in the work of the in
surance department. which would
justify this large increase in ex-
penses in so short a period. Would
it not be better to elect a man for
state auditor who has a record for
economy rather than one whose
official record is for extravaganza?

Primary Election Next Tuesday.

Next Tuesday is primary election
day. The law requires the polls to
be held open from a. m. until p.
m. In cities the hours are from 6 a.
m. until 9 p. m. Every voter should
make it his business to attend the
polls and vote for the men of his
choice, as in many cases a nominal
ton is equivalent to election.

Verdict Returned in One Minute

The case brought against Gov.
Hodges of Kansas was speedily dis
posed of when it reached the hands
of the jury. Mrs. Luella West was
the plaintiff and she claimed dam
ages in the sum of s2, $40, for alleged
assault and battery, when she was
attempting to take copies of letters
from his Office. 1t took the jury only
one minute after reaching the jury
room to return a verdict for Gov.
Hodges, which was the only verdict
that could be returned under the
evidence submitted. 1t is very
evident that the case, like numerous
cases of this kind, WAS merely
brought for the purpose of securing
publicity for the plaintiff. Some in
dividuals will evidently do anything
to gain notoriety and a few drastic
laws on the statute books, covering
cases of this kind, might better
conditions to a certain extent.

COMMERCIAL COURSE.
Is Added to the Curriculum of the
Local High School, Begin,
ming Next Term.
Competent Commercial Instructor
Will Be in, Charge Of the
New Department.

The school board decided some
time ago to add complete CONNER
cial course to the high school depart
ment. Under present conditions,
owing to lack of room, it is found
impossible to add domestic science,
agriculture and manual training to
the curriculum, but room has been
found for this new department.. A
four years course will be provided
and the following are among the new
subjects to be included in it: Book
keeping, typewriting, shorthand,
commercial arithmetic, spelling,
business law, English as applied to
business life, especial emphasis being
placed on spelling, English and book
keeping. .....- ...-:-~.
This course will extend throughout
the entire four years Of the high
school, but will be SO arranged that
the pupil who does not wish to re-
main she entire four years may Sc
cure bookkeeping and some of the
other essentials by the end of the
second year.
In establishing this course the
school board does not expect to COM
pete with the so-called business COL
| ]ege that takes a pupil who has COM
pleted the eighth grade, gives him
six months in bookkeeping and short
hand, and then turns him out fin
ished product-to make a failure in
business. A pupil entering the high
school at the age of IA or Is can, if
he desires: take this course along
with other high school subjects,
graduate from the school at the age
Of IS or 10 and then, if he is diligent
and has faithfully pursued this
course, ne should be able to make a
good living right from the start
The superintendent correspondent
| with several other schools where
4 good four years commercial courses
have been esta blished and in every
Iinstance the superintendent has in
formed him that this course is one O.
the most popular Of any in the high
Ischool.
The board has selected a first
class instructor for this work who
has had several years experience il
commercial subjects. No one will
be admitted to the course who ha!
not completed all the eighth grade
subjects and who is not entirely com
petent to pursue high school work.

The RIGHT Spirit,

E Thief River Falls has an aggressive
set of business men and they are not
the kind who wait for some one else
to take the initiative in matter in
which they are interested. The COM
mercial club has set June %, as

men and clerks will put in the entire
day improving the roads in that Vi
.cinity. Their action is commend
able one and should be emulated by
the business men of practically every
city and village in the state.
The News-Press of that place has
the following to say anent the mat
ter:

pose of definitely establishing the

of Minneapolis will oppose the locals.
This team has four players of the
"Three-I' league enrolled and also
a Pacific coast Lacquer. These
leaguers together with some of the
best base ball talent in the city com
pose a speedy aggregation, and
Goulding's warriors will be forced to
extend themselves to win. The To-
cal fans, however, have considerable
confidence in the home team and the
aggregation that defeats Princeton
this year will have to be in the game
at all stages. Don't miss this con-
test.

Circus Visits Princeton.

The Yankee Robinson circus came
into town in special train of seven
teen cars early Tuesday morning.
The weather was ideal and an enor-
nous crowd congregated in the viii
lage to participate in the days
events. The parade formed
promptly at noon and while it was
not the longest parade that ever
happened, everything was worth
witnessing.
COL. Fred Buchanan, owner and
manager of the show, and G. W.
Buchanan, assistant manager, were
here with the circus. Fred Buch-
anan only a few years ago was a
newspaper man in down east town,
although he is primarily a South
Dakotan, Sioux Falls being his early
home. At one time he was con.
nected with the Sioux Falls Press in
a reportorial capacity.
His first venture in an amusement
enterprise was not successful and he
obtained employment on Des
Moines, Iowa, newspaper.
Time passed and he accumulated
more and more and finally bought
the Yankee Robinson shows, which
he has steadily built up to their
present standard. Mr.. Buchanan
appreciates what the public wants
and he tries to give it to them.
This, together with his rigid bust.

the repayment Of the principal that

the repayment of the principal that
is the chief difficulty
Rules and 8 deal with the most
satisfactory ways of repayment. Tn
derneath them both is the same prin-
ciple: The loan must. be repaid
with the money it earns itself. For
example, if the money is used to buy
machine that will last ten years,
the machine must earn enough in
that time to pay for itself or it never
will. The loan, therefore, should be
entirely repaid before the ten years
are up or the farmer will lose money
on the transactions, paying out in
terest for no benefit in return. On
the other hand, if too early date is
set for repayment, the machine will
not have had sufficient opportunity
to make the requisite money and
the borrower may have difficulty in
raising it elsewhere. Rule 3 pro-
yides for some form Of amortization,
the system by which the principal
is repaid in installments so that the
amount of the loan is continually di-
minishing and in consequence the in
terest charges also. Such system
is quite feasible when the lean is
really productive, when it returns to
the borrower definite revenue each
year. Tables showing the payments
required to pay off principal and in
terest in varying periods of time are
appended to the bulletin and are re-
commended to the serious consider
alton of everyone who contemplates
borrowing money: The bulletin also
advises the farmer to secure the low
est possible interest. At first sight
this seems too obvious to be worth
mentioning. OF course the interest
should be as small as possible.
Everybody knows that-except the
lender. But if the other rules are
observed, if the borrower manages
his financial affairs soundly, he will
be surprised to find how much easier
it is to obtain favorable terms. The
right kind of lender does not want
to foreclose mortgages: he wants his
money back with a fair profit, like
any other merchant. For money
that is borrowed wisely. for money
that is sure to be repaid. he charges
low interest.
This in fact is why the government
has published these rules for Dor.
rowers. 1t is not SO much a matter
of driving a shrewd bargain as it is
of observing a few fundamental prin
ciples which alone can make credit
a blessing and not curse.
