WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S. That

that pigs Is war" Is something new.
This gigantic European war, &C
cording to the different parties TO II,
was caused by several hundred diff
ferent events. Some people say II was
started when Cir Edward Goetchen,
British ambassador TO Berlin, dis
charged his German cook. Others say
IL was the German militarism and
many believe Russia started the SON
fllct by mobilizlns against Austria.
And by this time most everyone has
forgotten that the war really began
when Austria refused the acknow-
ledgmsn. Of seryia to her ultima
tum.
Well, this story Of pigs Is pigs"
goes back 10 the time when Servis

outlined the Plan.
John H. Rose, an Oklahoma City
capitalist, who came as a representa-
tive of the oklahoma & Interstate
railroad, of which he is II of the
directors, presented a proposition to
the assembly, setting forth the re-
quirements that the company would
make of the various cities Of the
community for an interurban line con-
Meeting Columbus, Galena, Baxter
Springs, Commerce, Miami and then
to Alton, thus making good connec-
tons with the Frisco in all directions.
The proposition as made by Mr..
Rose asks a bonus from each city
through which the line Is to pass,
which becomes due just as soon as the
first car is operated into that city.
The following are the amounts asked
by the capitalist from the following
cities: Galena, $4,000. and abstract
to land half way to Baxter Springs, or
a 100000 straight bonus; Baxter
Springs, 10000, with abstract to land
to the Baxter Springs junction, or
$4,000 straight bonus. The amounts
asked from Commerce and Columbus
are about the same, both being $40
900, with right-of-way for half the
distance to the next town. Miami IL
asked to give $4,000 and a rlght-of-
way half the distance to Alton. The
same amount will be required from
this place. The company plans on eX-
tending It's line to Tulsa, and will no
doubt run a branch to Centralia, a lit
tie inland town near Vinita.

ing that he would have a man In the
field looking after the interests of his
company, and for him to have a lot Of
data compiled and ready for use for
the bond buyers, who would want to
base their calculations on It. He
stated that his company had con-
tracted the sale of bonds to G. f..
Coon & Co., and that the question
OF financing the proposition had been
settled. II. p. Lea Watt, representing
c. f. Coon & Co., will be here soon to
investigate the situation. One hun
dred thousand dollars has already
been placed in IN Oklahoma City bank
by the Coon company as a guarantee
that It will carry out its contract for
the sale OF the bonds.
This company has built and H.

Mortga aging a Homestead.

Quite a number of our home
steaders are selling out that, is,
they borrow from a thousand to
fifteen hundred dollars on their
PAGES and they will never pay
the loans, as they do not invest
in anything from which there is
hope of getting money with
which to redeem. The only thing
| that would tempt me to mort
rage would be to get stock. That
IS the only thing that | can see
that Will increase faster than
the interest.
Going in debt just because one
can get the money, is a danger
prac lice. 1t is the use one makes
of the money that counts. A
Montana farmer who needed
money to see himself through
the harvest season went to a
bank and, in request for an ac-
comnodatior, was surprised to
naye it promptly granted. He
said afterwards if he had known
he could get money so easily he
would have asked for a thousand
dollars instead of five hundred.
Think Of that! When he had use
OF but five hundre,!
We were told of one man who
lived on his homestead the re-
quired time and put in the re-
naming months working for a

he said to his boss that he could
borrow a thousand dollars on his
place, and he believed he would
do it and have gool, time. The
boss said to him: You do fool

tlons upon the mill project and
upon explaining the nature Of
these stories Mr.. Peck and other

upon themselves to give the real

in, but not enough fell however
to make us shovel. Of late the
weather has been ideal for the

ers have been relieved Of the sour
looks that they Possessed a few

There is yet a large amount of

Many a farmer needs discour-
agement of this kind to keep him
from borrowing money that he
does not need. or that he will not
invest so as to bring him greater
returns than the interest he has
to pay.
There are men who have to
borrow money who make good
use of it. We believe it good
idea for the lender to question
the borrower and refuse to make
a loan where there is a doubt a.
bout the being put where it will
prove renumerative. 1t would
be better for most men if it were
harder for them to borrow mon
ey. If they worked as hard to
keep from borrowing as they are
often compelled to work after
wards to get the loan paid off,
their not being able to borrow
money easily would be the great
est blessing in the world to them.
