Investment BARGAINS.

The investor who picks up desira-
bic property when everybody is SELL
ing and no one buying will have to
wait only a reasonable time to secure
his reward. l recall when real estate
i'll several large cities was a drug on
the market. Everybody seemed anx-
ious to sell and no one to buy, but
the buyers in those periods have real
lied enormous profits, far greater than
one can get in the Stock Exchange.
The man who has money, even if it is
but small amount, can always turn
it over to advantage if he will wait
for the opportunity. Don't go with
the crowd when every one is wild to
buy something, but quietly abide an
opportunity when everybody is anI-
ious to unload and buyers are few. At
such a time the bargain counter opens.

Refining Tapioca.

This elegant and delicate starch ia

waited very extensively in the Malay
peninsula, where its culture is almost
entirely In the hands of the Chinese.
The tubers OF the plant (Manihot utilis-
sima), which weigh on an average
from ten to twenty-five pounds, are
first scraped and then carefully wash
ed, after which they are reduced to a
pulp by being passed between rollers.
This pulp is carefully washed and
shaken up with abundance of water
until the felcula separates and passes
through very fine sieve into a tub
placed beneath. The flour so obtained
is repeatedly washed and then placed
on mats and bleached by exposure to
the sun and air. 1t is finally converted
into the pearl tapioca of commerce by
being placed in a crude shaped frame
covered with canvas. 1t is slightly
moiStened and subjected to a rotary
motion, by which means it is granu-
lated. 1t is next dried in the sun and
finally over the fire in an iron pan
creased with vegetable tallow and is
then ready for the market.

FARM MORTGAGE CREDITS.

The new federal land loan bill APP
proved by subcommittee of the joint
congressional committee on rural
credits is calculated to be one of the
greatest benefits to farmers that the
country has yet known.
The measure provides Tor a compre-
hensive farm mortgage credits system,
under the control and supervision of
a federal land bank board of five mem
bers, to be appointed by the President
with the approval of the senate Bust
ness would be done directly between
the regional banks and the local bodies
which farmers would be authorized to
organize in the form of cooperative
farm loan associations or joint stock
banks, charters for which would be
passed on by the land bank board,
The borrowing associations would be
divided into two classes, those organ
lied with limited liabilities and those
with unlimited liability. They would
appraise the land on which the farmer
sought to obtain money and would
/ themselves become liability for fine
I loan. Thus, the bonds would be
backed by the regional banks, the local
/ association, the borrowing farmer anC
mortgage on the land, given to thG
I association. Out Of their profits re
gional banks ultimately would refun(
to the government such money as i
NAV bava invested in tho ontarDri . q
Payments on the mortgages by borrow
ers would be made on the instalmen
plan, running for q period of not ex
cecding 3G years.
This country has been far behinC
others in looking out for the legitimat
financial needs of its farmers. Nov

We all take off our hats to the He
brews when it comes to loyalty to
their own people. There was an impress
sive meeting in New York few even
ings ago to raise funds for the Amer
lean Jewish relief committee. Four
rich men gave 100000 each on condi-
tion that the amount be raised to ST.
100000. The response exceeded the
mark set, as more than $650,000 was
raised during the two hours of plead
ing and exhortation, marked by spon-
taneous rejoicing and by tears. The
most wonderful part Of the story is
the way the poor gave. They emptied
their pockets, took jewelry from their
persons and even deprived themselves
of their carfare to return to their
homes. The giving that entails self
sacrifice is the real test. The man who
gives something that he never feels is
not much of a giver after all.

More than half a million
Britons have already been sacrificed
in the war. About 10000 have been
killed outright and 100000 have been
wounded, many of whom have no

Some Of the men missing are prison
ers in foreign lands and others met
death in such a way that their bodies
were not recovered by the comrades.
1t is in the price paid in dead and

in the New England states. where it

for any length of time recommend it
highly for cold storage purposes. Every
winter entire communities are put in
cold storage for several weeks and
obliged TO live off of canned smelts and
the succulent SNOWFALL. The only people
who really enjoy this weather are the
ice man and the doctor. who ply their
nefarious trades clad in coonskin coats

about il is that it is followed by

it so suddenly that man is caught

burlington Free Press.)

President Ira L. Reeves Of Norwich
University, who has just been elected
colonel of the First Regiment of the
Vermont National Guard, has a strik-
ing military record. He served sue
cessively as private, corporal and ser
geant in Company b, Fourth Infantry,
General Grant s regiment, in which he
was promoted to lieutenant and cap
tain. After serving with different COM
manders he was retired with the rank
of captain on November II, 1901, on
account of bolo and gunshot wounds
received while in action in the Philip
pines He was present in the action at
San Juan hill during the Spanish
American war, and did gallant service.
It is worth everything for Vermont TO
have at the head of its first regiment
of the National Guard soldier of such
varied experience and eminent ability,
and since much of his work at the
head Of the regiment will come during
the summer vacation he will have
abundant opportunity to attend to it
without interfering with his services
at the head of Norwich university.

WOODSVILLE, N. H., Dec. 27.-A
special town meeting was held in the
town hall at North Haverhill, for the
purpose of deciding whether the town
of Haverhill should join with the town
of Newbury, Vt, in the purchase and
repair of the real estate, easements and
franchises of the Bedel bridge, a toll
bridge over the Connecticut river be-
tween Haverhill Corners and South
Newbury.
The bridge is in very bad condition,
having been condemned some time ago.
The town voted to give the select
men authority to purchase and repair
the bridge as above stated, provided
it could be purchased and placed in
condition for general traffic at cost
not to exceed $1,000.
