WATERED SECURITIES
By Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ ten about the evils of watered stock in big business concerns and the farm CTS of this nation believe that every dollar written into the life of any business organization, should be able to say "l know that my Rsdeemer hveth,' but farming Is the biggest business on earth, and there is more water in its financial transaction than that of any other industry. There is as much water In farmers note drawing eight or ten per cent interest when other lines of industry secure money for four or five per cent per annum. as there Is in & business pay ing reasonable compensation upon the face value of securities repre- senting an investment of only fifty cents on the dollar. The only diff ference is. the water is in the interest rate in one instance and in the secur ities in the other
 The promoter ofttimes takes chances and his success is contingent upon the development of the property in- volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes no chances and his success cripples the property involved There may be industries that cry louder but none that suffer more severely from fnan- cial immortality in both law and GUS tom than that of agriculture
 The farmers of America today are paying s20O,OO0,0OO per annum in usury on real estate and chattel loans and this interest capitalized at five per cent, represents 5000, ,000.- 900 of fictitious values which the farm CT is paying interest on This sum of money is almost equal to the annual value of crops produced In the United States,
 The earning power of the farmers note based upon his interest rate very nearly divides likes the earth's sur. face-three-fourths water and one fourth land. The largest body of wa ter that floats upon the financial hem isphere now rests upon the farms and its waves are dashing and its pillows are rolling against seven mil. lion homes threatening ruin and dis aster to the prosperity of the nation. Will our public servants who under stand how to drain the liquid on in- dustrial properties turn the faucet and let the water off the farms?

Wrong Position for sleep.

Sleep cannot knit up the raveled
sleeve of care or do any other repar
ative knitting If the head is bent
sharply to an acute angle with the
collar joints. Frequently men and
women who have slept in this suppos
edly Objectionable fashion for years
and years suddenly lose the capacity
for sleep with no new discoverable
reason. 1t is difficult to convince them
them that the elasticity and resiliency
of youth has heretofore made up for
their lifelong awkward pose.

ring of the Red River Valley, whose story
n the John A. Salzer Seed Co.'s Catalogue
reads stranger than romance.
That advice of Mr.. Schroeder's, the self
made Potato. king, comes from warm
heart, a level head, an active hand, and
lbove all, a successful Potato grower!

DANGER in Waiting.

Just because an Oregon scientist de.

the man who accomplishes little in
his early maturity will make up for
the lack when he starts down the
western slope Of life. 1t doesn't sound
reasonable, however.
