RULES FOR BORROWING.

Neither borrower nor q lender
be-" said Polonius, but in this respect,
as in numerous others. Shakespeare's
old wiseacre doesn't fit modern condi-
tons a BIZ, insists the Kansas Indus
trialist. Borrowing and lending are
essentials of modern economic life.
The federal department of agricul-
ture has performed a real service to
the ordinary man by putting into SIM
pie language three important rules for
borrowing. They are pretty nearly
worth learning by heart. Here they
are:
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 improvement for
which the money is borrowed.
Provision should be made in long
time loans for the gradual reduction
of the principal.

An interesting explanation from the
Norton Courier: The reason why
opals are so often lost from their set
tings is that they expand with the
heat more than other precious stones
and consequently force open the gold
which holds them in place.
In kid days, writes Editor Valentine
in the Clay Center Times, we could
climb up q cherry tree and fill our
insides with haif-ripe fruit. The other
day one cherry made our jaws hurt
for five minutes. it was SO sour, and
the thing didn't taste good either. The
only explanation Of the change we can
think Of is that kid cherries were gen.
orally stolen.

BLUE SKY LAW VOID.
Iowa Statute Held Unconstitutional
by Federal Court.

Des Moines. July 6.-Iowa's socalled
blue sky law, providing for the regula-
ton and supervision Of investment
companies was held unconstitutional
in a per curtain opinion handed down
today by Walter !. Smith, United
States circuit Judge, and Smith Nc
Pherson and John c. Pollock. United
States district judges.
Although the measure was attacked
on i've different grounds, the judges
cited only two specific instances where
in the law is invalid, as follows:
st offends against the commerce
clause of the federal constitution;
grants privileges and immunities to
citizens Of Iowa denied to citizens of
other states.'
