FACTS ABOUT THE MORTGAGE
For One Thing. as a Tireless Worker
II May Be Said TO Hold the
Record

A mortgage makes a man rustic
and it keeps him poor. II is & strong
incentive to action, and a wholesale
reminder of the Aeeting months and
years. 1t is fully as symbolicaI in its
meaning as the hour-glass and scythe.
that mean death.
A mortgage represents industry, be-
cause it is never idle, night or day.
1t is like a bosom friend, because the
greater the adversely the closer III
sticks to a fellow. 1t is like a brave
soldier, for 1T never hesitates at
charges. nor fears to close in on the
enemy. 1t is like the sandbag of the
thug-silent in application, but dead
ly in effect. 1t is like the hand Of
Providence-it spreads all over e
ton, and its influence is everywhere
visible. 1t is like the grasp of the
devilfish-the longer it holds the
greater its strength. 1t will exercise
feeble energies and lend activity to.
a sluggish brain, but no matter how
debtors work the mortgage works
harder still. A mortgage is a good
thing to have in a family-provided,
always, it is in somebody else's fam

Many of the best stories among the
Jews are told about rabbis who we're
called in to render decision in diff.
cult disputes. These decisions are at
times as crafty as those of the ancient
Solomon.
A rich Jew, lying on his deathbed,

PROPER CREDIT TO NOBODY
Simple Logic Easily Proves That He
Has Not Hitherto Been Treated
With Justice.

The time is now arrived when No
body should come to his own. Hitherto
Nobody has not been treated with Jus
tice. As n Of the most important
persons in America, Nobody should
have statues erected in all OF our
principal cities. Let us, therefore,
consider the claims of Nobody. In the
nrst place, Nobody knows. Take. for
example, the currency bill. the tariff
schedules, the status of philosophy,
or the art Of the futurist. Nobody
knows about all Of these things, when
all the rest are in entire ignorance.
Furthermore. If you want to know the
actual truth about these important
questions, and many more, Nobody is
the only n who can tell you. Every
body takes some interest In baseball,
movies, vaudeville, bridge and high
balls; but when it comes to all the
things which are known as vital, such
as government, slums, ETC., who cares?
Why Nobody cares. Nobody is, there
fore, u best citizen. Hurrah for

DYING MAN SAVES TRAIN
Shot by S~ubordinates, Uses His Last
Strength to Avert Serious
Wreck.

Milford, Utah.-Mortally wounded by
a pistol shot. Kihara, a Japanese Sec

strength to set a torpedo on the tracks
of the Salt Lake route near here to
save the e%ast-bound Pacific Limited
train from possible wreck.
Kihara was shot through the abb
domen by Mexicans who composed his
force. They fled, leaving the handcar
on the rails. The wounded man tried
in vain to remove the a alone and
then dragged himself down the track
with a torpedo, which he placed so as
to check the train. The train stopped
in response to the signal and brought
Kihara to Milford, where he died. A
posse is after his assailants.

is the purpose of the government to

Of this law no waterfowl con be shot
in the northern or breeding zone after
January 10, except in New Jersey,
where the season extends to February
/. In most of the southern or winter
ing zone the season closes February /,
but extends to February Is, in Flor
ida, Georgia and South Carolina These
regulations were proclaimed on Octob-
.er 1, 1914. No change has since been
made in them, and no change is likely
to be made until the constitutionality
of the law has been passed on by the
United States supreme court AS a
matter of fact, the law provides that
all changes in the regulations must
be considered for a period of ninety
days, and then must be approved and
signed by the president before they
become effective. It is thus evident
that there is no possibility that the
prohibition of spring shooting will be
in any way modified this year.
The officials of the department who
are intrusted with the enforcement of
this law are anxious that these facts
be impressed upon the people because
