Here is a homely sermon in simple
language and imperfect phraseology.
II is by one who knows of the rocks
which he has charted. Matty Bald
win, the boxer, prcached this Billy
Sunday Jolt to the students in the
Eoys Trade School at Worcester
Mass on Monday:
ITS a different crowd here than
I'm used to-" said Baldwin in opening
his talk. I'm used to a crowd all
right. leen used TO it for II years. but
i'm used no seeing the ropes and the
smoke and hearing the crowd YELL
FIRING them OUT II is good TO look
into the faces of a crowd like this

lows like YOU.

Baldwin then explained to the boys
the daily grind Of a man who. is train

to give you any ambitions for the
fight or the boxing game. If 1 had a
dog thought anything Of I'd want to
keep him away from the fighting
game. There isn't enough in it, and
IT'S a rocky road. Fighting is born in
a man, and unless it is he can't get to

Mortgages Show Farm Prosperity.

People are discovering that tho
farmer carrying mortgage is gener.
ally the prosperous one, while the man
without a mortgage is apt not to be
prosperous" says JIdson c. Welliver
in Farm and Fireside. THE most pros
porous farming States are those with
the most mortgage debt; the least
prosperous farming States have the
smallest mortgage burdens.
Congressman Helvering Of Kansas
in a speech recently made this very
plain. From census figures he showed
that the four Southern States Of
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mis-
sissippf have total Of only $4,000. 900
Of farm mortgages; Wisconsin alone
has many times that amount. Yet Wis
consinp is an ideally prosperous farm
ing State.
These four Southern States have an
average Of three tenant farmers to two
proprietor farmers, while in Wisconsin
there are six proprietors to one ten
ant IN
SITS the same all through. The best
agricultural States have the most
mortgages and the most proprietor
farmers; the poorest States have few
est mortgages and fewest proprietor
farmers. The mortgage is the poor
mans stepping stone to ownership. A
poor man can't hope to buy farm un-
less he can mortgage it. The South's
trouble has been that here is no money
to loan there on farm mortgages. Iowa
owes more on farm mortgages than
any other State-about $204 100000.
Nobody doubts that Iowa is quite an
agricultural State, and yet Iowa's
farm mortgage debt is just about
twice the combined mortgage debt Of
eleven Southern States"
In other words, farmers can afford
to pay fair rate of interest on
mortgage il they can have the money
with which to take advantage of con-
ditions. But when the manufacturer or
business man can hire money at half
the rate the farmer is obliged to pay
the handicap is unfair and retards
general prosperity. In the farmers
prosperity lies the solution of the
countrys greatest progress and maxi
mum Of comforts and luxuries.

people made wild rush for the open

flight, many would undoubtedly have
been seriously injured in the panic.
After the excitement had subsidized
and the place had been aired out, the
people went back and received the
money which they had paid to see the
show.
