cutive committee of the advisory
council of real estate interests, gives
some interesting information of the
working Of amortizing mortgages in
the south and west and discusses the
advantages and disadvantages Of the
system which is proposed by lending
institutions here. Mr.. Parsons letter
says in part:
with mortgages running into many
millions made during the last 20 years
and scattered over 40 or so different
cities in widely separated sections of
the country, we have in the past IL
years acquired but four parcels of real
estate. aggregating about $4,000. This
highly successful experience we at
tribute in large measure. first, to the
fact that we do not lend so large
proportion on the property as to leave
the OWNER but little equity for which
to contend in dull times, and, second,
that the loans are reduced during
their life by means of the annual or
semi.annual payments to a point at
which we have been fully justified in
renewing them, and this not only with
entire safety to ourselves but without
any embarrassment to the borrower.
Third, that in all cases of loans to COR
porate borrowers it Is required that
the responsible stockholders indorse
the notes, in other words, no loans
are made on straw bonds.'
"Ob; ections to this principle have,
of course, been raised, sometimes by
individuals and occasionally by entire
communities, but it is all matter of
education and we have yet to find u
case where at the end of q term of
years the borrower was not gratified

to find that he had materially reduced
his debt and in a manner which had
not seriously disconnected him. More
over, unpleasant community situations
have been to the extent Of our inf1u-
ence avoided.
Another feature, Of this plan is
that the payments can be quite rigidly
insisted upon in good times even
though there may appear no strong
necessity for them, while when hard
times approach more leniency can be
shown in enforcing the payment II the
loans have by that time been suftici-
emily safeguarded.
1--WE are not unmindful st the prac-
tical difficulties in the way Of the ap-
plication Of this plan-the problem Of
the disposition Of the small payments
as they are received, objections to
such obligations in the cage Of l,roper-
ty held for sale, the advantage which
might be taken of these obligations in
hard times by unscrupulous lenders,
etc. These, however, are largely mat
ters of custom and convenience and
offer no insurmountable obstacles. In
the case of corporate lenders or large
individual lenders who have q con-
slant loaning fund, there can be no
serious objection, and in the case of
small individual lenders such pay
ments can be invested in mortgage
certificates or placed in a special bank
account until they total a sufficient
amount for the purchase Of small
individual mortgage"

The GIN of Charity.


Do q little good in passing, SOW some
kindness every day;
Stretch q hand to help struggler
who has fallen by the way;
Flash smile to help the mourner,
plant q flower to bud and
bloom;
Loose a ray of sympathy to pierce
with sunlight the thick gloom.
Stop and counsel with the erring, help
the fallen one to rise:
Find thy mission on the earth and
leave the stars to light the
skies;
Whisper comfort to the sobbing, let
the sunshine struggle through,
And when heavens portals open, see
the glory in the blue.
Be a minister of mercy that true
brotherhood may live;
Be not hasty In thine anger, douoly
ready to forgive;
First to see a kindly action, last to
doubt it's honesty,
LeAden by thy tongue of censure and
thy tongue of praising free.
Slow to doubt and quick to cherish
every kindness Of thy friend;
Last to misjudge his intention, and
the first one to defend;
Kindness knows no creed or caste, and
brotherhood to pedigree,
And the key to heavens portals Is the
Gift Of Charity.

ions to a correspondent now with tAo
Austro- German armies:
"Roumania does not desire to inter-
vene in the war and would only inter
vene if her interests were threatened

obliged to defend Serbia against Bui'
