It may be true, as some advocate of intervention in Mexico has. said, that 9S per cent of the population of the republic to the south is tired of the continuous strife between factions made up of 2 per cent of the popula- tion, but that is no reason that good American lives should be sacrificed to put stop to the murders and robber- ies. Ninety-eigh per cent of the pop ulation ought to be able to rule; if it cannot, there's little use for another nation effect peace because the 9e per cent will not be able to maintain if

TALKS ON THRIFT. SHE SPOILED HER DAUGHTER
 IN THE RAISING,

Somewhere in the suburbs of New York live a man and wife, happily married, with one child. The husband has job that brings a fairly good income and the wife keeps the house and takes care of the baby. Botn are well bred. He was a Southern gen tleman: she is the daughter Of well to-do parents. went to boarding school, is handsome and accomplish ed. She learned everything 3 girl should know but the one essential thing, how to make. a home. Her mother had her maid The daughters clothes were always ready and her mending done. Her youthful years were spent in having a good time and learning the art of being a. lady
 She married Now she must run home. She doesn't know how. Her husband gives her s125 mont. for the house. Because she never leaIn- ed to cook and cant afford cook, they must take their dinners out. Therefore Mir. Husband comes home takes care of the baby while Mrs Wife rushes half mile to a boarding house, eats her dinner in hurry and rushes back: then he hurries half a mile to the boarding house and gets his fag-end dinner. Her generous al lowance is gone when the month is up and it has bought no satisfaction. They have no "homey" meals togeth CT; they blame the baby-they ought to blame her mother
 Had this wife been brought up to be a woman instead of just a lady she would take that thirty dollars they spend every month for boarding house dinners and get two meals a day for two that would make the boarding house dinners look like a ten-cent lunch. But she doesn't know how. She doesn't study her job. She can't save her energy. The time and effort spent to get to the boarding house and back, the dressing, the an noyance and the worry would more than get the meal, and 8 better one, and clear it away. She doesn't want to be merely lady, she would rather he woman: now it's too iate- she's spoiled.
 But it's not altogether her fault. She wasn't trained right. She is a pal ,or ornament and not a thrifty wife. She can't manage. She can't plan. She cant save. She can just be sweet; :; but sweetness never runs a Tome. It's good for dessert, but a home is made of beefsteak and potatoes and pies and buildings that ''touch the spot" and the old saying is as true now as ever, that "the way to a mans heart is through his stomach" <" and lucky the woman who has found it out.
 Don't spoil your daughter in the raising. Teach her to look upon housekeeping as an art-a science, worthy of a place in the school cur riculum, and absolutely essential to the comfort and well being of home. If the wife is a woman, she will be a lady, but she can be lady and only a big doll.

| Inc farmer pays the taxes upon Is real estate. It can not escape taxa tion. Usually it is assessed for taxa tion close to the figure at which il would sell.
 | Now, the lender has to pay tax on the note or mortgage given by the farmer, the rate of interest is core spondingly increased and the borrower is doubly taxed.
 But if no tax is imposed upon the farmers note and mortgages, or upor the bond secured thereby, there should be corresponding decrease in the investor is willing to accept. Thus rate of interest which the lender or double taxation is avoided, and induce ment is offered the lender to accept still lower interest rates.
 "The new federal farm loan law is based partly upon the foregoing prin- ciples," says Orange Judd Southern Farming, which points out that by this new system the entire saving in taxes accrues to the benefit of the farm bor- rover.
 By the plan in vogue money lenders sometimes have been taxed on the farmers notes or mortgages they held as security. This tax was imposed because the lender was in position to 4, hn tn In Dt 10 make the farmer pay rate so high as the farmer who borrowed from Shy lock were not taxed upon such an ln- vestment, the Shylock paid no tax at all.
 But the federal system will give the borrower the benefit of every pos sible saving in interest. It will also help people to increase their small savings by investing them in federal farm bonds secured by first mortgages on good farms worked by their own- CTS. These tax free bonds should be absolutely safe and salable, besides yielding a fair.return. to the investor.
 Not only is the security good, but 1t is constantly increasing in value. Whereas in 1890 the mortgages on southern farms were 40 per cent or more of their value, by 1910 the aver age amount of each mortgage had been so decreased and values had so increased that the mortgage was only about 25 per cent of the average value. In other words, the average southern farm is worth four times the mort gage on it.. To advertise these facts will be one function of the new sys- tenn. It's bonds secured by first mort gages on good southern farms should gradually become most popular ln- vestment for small sums or large.
 Many thousands of people through out the south now fritter away or put into losing ventures sums of from Y25 or $50 up to $100 or 5000. If only a little of the money, which now is thus more or less wasted is safely invested in Al southern farm bonds, the money will stay right at home and will be used to build up the country.
 The land bank may charge the bor- rowing farmer only 1 per cent more than the rate it gets on it's bonds This margin of one point is to cover expenses and profits. The law also provides that in no case may the inter- est charged borrowers exceed 6 per cent. When the time comes that these tax-free bonds, bearing 3 per cent, sell at par, the farmer whose mortgage note secures the same may be required to pay not over per cent interest. As the borrowers shall own the shares in their associations, which own most ii not all of the shares in the land banks any profits of the system will acrue to the borrowers benefit.

RURAL CREDIT ACT.

Under authority given in an act of congress President Wilson during the early days of his administration ap- pointed commission to study the rural credits problem as worked out in foreign countries, with a view of ob- taining information that would be of value Ill the framing of farm loan act that would enable the government to place American farmers in way of obtaining needed financial assistance on reasonable terms. The commits sion's report led to the introduction of many bills into congress. These were all referred to the house and senate committees on banking. They ap- pointed a joint subcommittee, which worked all last year to draft a meas ure. The bill thus prepared was passed in slightly different forms by house and senate in May, and the diff ferences were harmonized in confer ence on June 10. On last Tuesday the conference committees report was adopted by both houses and the bill has been sent to the president for his sig nature.
 The bill provides that the president of the United States shall appoint four members (not more than two from any one political party), who with the secretary of the treasury eXotticie. shall constitute the federal farm loan board in charge of that bureau iii the treasury department. These four men must give their exclusive services to this work. They must not be in any way allied with any bank, lender or mortgage business
 This board shall d'viue the country into twelve federal land bank districts. In each district the board shall estab- fish federal land bank with s750,O0O paid up capital stock. Each land bank shall be managed temporarily by five directors appointed by the federal farm loan board.
 Each federal land bank shall char ter national farm loan associations within the district of said bank, which district shall consist of the whole of one or more states.
 Ten or more persons who are farm owners, or who declare their lnten- tions shortly to become such, may form d national farm loan association The shares are S5 each, but no mem Der may vote more than twenty shares There is no joint or several liability Each member is liable for the debts ot the association only to the amount oi his shares and as much more. lie does not indorse the notes or mort gages of other members. Loans Will run for not less than five nor more than forty years.
 Each district bank will have author ity. to issue bonds based on the notes and mortgages indorsed by member associations it holds, sfroms the sale o1 which must come the money needed te enable it to take care of the loans Il will be called on to make. These bosds, 2s well as the aotes sre r:o-' rares executed by association :::e::- bers, will be exempt from taxation'

The majority of the people of the United States are with President Will son in his desire to avert war with Mexico, even though they may not make as much noise as the interven- tionists and "jingoes' who would be found anywhere except on the fighting lines in the event of war.

1t was Oh Feb. II, the day the elcc-

arrived in Washington and took up his
residence at Gadsby's. an inn famous
in stage coaching days. He declined
to call upon President Adams, imply
ing that he could not bring himself to
touch the hand of a man who had at
tanned office through unworthy means.
He busted himself with the Office seek
ers, who rushed to Washington in in
credible numbers, likewise avoiding
Adams to flock around the power that
was to be. Adams, resenting this
breach Of etiquette, took no official or
social notice of his successor and left
the city on the Sd of March, neither
he nor any member Of his cabinet re-
naming to welcome Jackson to Office.
On the morning Of March 4 those
fortunate to secure a commanding po-

BOILING WATER.
Is Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.

1t Is Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.
If you scald yourself with the tea
kettle you are apt to think that boiling
water is a pretty hot proposition. But
boiling water is not always very hot
water, and this is the way it happens.
When water boils ordinarily it is be-
cause great heat has separated the tiny
particles of the water, forcing upward
and outward in lively bubbles the air
which is contained in them. This is
done in spite Of the downward pres
sure Of the atmosphere. After the wa
ter has become hot enough to boil it
can get no hotter, because the air es-
capes as fast as it is sufficiently heated
to do so.
There are places on the earth where
the pressure of the atmosphere upon
the water is so slight hat it requires
but little heat to push apart the par
ticles and set free the air bubbles
which are confined in the water, so it
begins to boil before it becomes very
hot. 1t ought hardly to be called cold
water. perhaps, but it is certainly far
from being as hot as ordinarily boil
ing water. This state of things Is
found on all high mountain tops. as the
atmosphere grows weaker and its pres
sure less as one ascends.
\ man travelling at a great elevation
in the Andes mountains put some po-
tatoes in a pot Of water over a hot fire.
The water began to boil almost i'm
mediately, but the potatoes did not
cook. All the afternoon and all the
night the water dubbed and boiled, but
still the potatoes were not cooked. The
boiling water was not hot enough.

In Bradley Kocher, Otto Miller and

All three men are cool headed, capa-

hitters. Miller and McCarty divided
the backstopping for the Dodgers last
year, but both are warming tho bench
now that Meyers is wearing the span

that the farmers have decided they
cannot get along without county ag-

their demonstration work of the past

out the vote would indicate that the
