A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order OF COM
partnership. civilization has lowered
to it's greatest heights. In this relar
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years Of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not party.
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned divine covenant. and az q
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that II is
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman's
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes OF the backs OF the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and I'M
ashamed.

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the, life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
Hveth," but farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in its financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines Of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value of securities repre-
senting an investment Of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water is in the interest
rate in one instance and In the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development Of the property in
volved but the usurer, as rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved There may be
Industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and Gus
tom than that of agriculture. ..
The farmers of America today are
paying $200,00O,000 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at FIVE per cent, represents $4,000.000,
600 of fictitious values which the farm
er is paying interest on. This sum Of
money is almost equal to the annual
value Of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one
fourth land The largest body of wa
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and it's waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mill
lion homes threatening ruin and dis
aster to the prosperity of the nation.
Will our public servants who under
stand how to drain the liquid OF In
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
let the water OF the farms?
