PAYING. OFF rr.AIad MORTGAGES

Figures just issued by the census bureau indicate that the burden of mortgages on the farms of the coun- try is decreasing They now aggre- gate only about a quarter of the value of farm property.
 It is a different story from that prevailing twenty years ago, when 8 large part of the farm mortgages proved worthless. Owners were aban- doning their farms and often E the man who held the mortgage concl1d- ed that it would not pay to settle for taxes. as he could scarcely sell the property for enough to pay costs of forecI0sure.
 The existence of a large body of farm indebtedness does not neces- sari1y prove that farmers are too much inclined to borrow money With better buildings and machinery they could often greatly increase their productions1 Failure to borrow the funds for proper equipment may mean tinidity rather than true con servatism. With the establishment of a rural credit system. there should come large expansion of farm pro- duction. as the result of giving the farmer better tools to work with at moderate rates of interest.

Dear Nddss Iibbey:-
 am a girl near eighteen. Kept company with d young man six months. Once he told me he loved me more than any other girl he ever met. cannot make him believe love him Was I wise not permitting him to hug or kiss me? He wrote, asked to come back Wrote my cousin who is four teen years old he only loved me as a friend. Is 1t proper to change s11itors, # she is ddssatfaed in love? Friends tell me there's good fish in the sea as ever was caught Please tell me what to do.
 RIVE, Your suttor will be apt to greatly appreciate your wisdom in keeping him at distance. It was not hon. orab1e to write your cousin he loved you as friend only Changing suit ors is easier said than done. Give them less thought nd they will seek you.

WAITING AND WISHING.

There has fallen a splendid tear
 From the passion flower at the gate. She is coming, my dove. my dear,,
 She is coming, my life, my rate. The red rose cries: She IS near snes
 is near!''
 The white rose weeps: ''She is late.'' The larkspur listens: T hear, hear
 And the lily whispers: .'I wait
 The girl who waits year in and year out for "a lover who comes up to the mark Of her expectancy often dies an old maid. If she centers her thoughts on one who is not in a position to wed the sweetheart of his youth until he has advanced himself in business, she braves the criticism, in her lonely hours, of those who claim that she will wait and wish for this particular man without her hopes being realized. Sen- timental fancy, if waiting and wishing ardently, putting off the day so long looked forward to- WreckS happiness in the long rum
 In her youthtime she sympathfzed and planned with delight from the ap- proach of the bridal day to the annf- versery of their happy married life, with pictures of events, and lively, good times. It was simply de1usion, feetdng, dragging along for years and no wedding bells for her. Living fin the country, where everyone knew of posfponements, and disappoint- ments, with gossiping, and counting Of her age, as we'll as observing her fad ing charms, was not to be endured by the woman whose heart hungered from waiting.
 The, city, which lures thousands of newcomers who have left pleasant homes in the country, adds this stran- ger to it's cramped quarters and unsat- isfying environments. rWhere should the woman alone and among strangers board ?'' was the first query. A home like boarding house had a hall bed room, which she was obliged to take until a more desirable room was va cant Where should a woman board ing away from her home receive the few friends and acquaintances that might come to the door to visit her occasionally? She wondered To at tempt to talk to any one in the little stuffy parIor. especially if the gentle man was an old acquaintance whom she wished to see.
 The woman who had moved to the city was sensible and good. The one man for whom she had waited long years and wished for till hope had nearly died out Of her famished heart had come to her. in her little cottage. on the eve of her going to the city: had asked her to write to him, and when taking her and, said in low voice: We have been sweethearts for years and have not come to any con- cluSaon as yet. VIII you allow me to call upon you in the city and at last to talk over the all-inp portant question, if 1t is not too late?'
 Its a. 1ong road that has no turn to It, she had always been told The land1ady cautiously fathons out the mystery of why she had inquired if she csuld accommodate two for sua- per in the dining room, soon after the others had gone. "A wedding sup per, true as lve,s laughed the land lady to herself She was right in her surmise. A bride and groom were her guests after long waiting and wishing.
