When Is American Not American?

LONDON, Feb, 3.-When is an
American not an American? That is
a hard nut TO crack, according to the
American embassy in London. Rath-
er, it is a wsole bushei OF hard nuts
ito crack. But some Of the nuts have
been cracked, il was learned. with
the result that scores of Americans
in England are now without a coun-
try.
The issuance Of passports is one OF
the embassy's most troublesome du-
ties. Numerous Americans who have
resided in England for ten, fifteen or
twenty years decided after the war
began and more particularly after the
Zeppelins put London on their call.

into their citizenship. All wanted
American passports. Some wanted
to go back to America. Others were

the rub.

problem. The applicants. many OF

BIGGEST PROBLEM
OF THE FARMER

1t is difficult to say what the farm
a very big problem is that of paying
interest on excessive investments in
land. The paying Of dividends on
Watered stock is burden to any bust
ness, and when the farmer must pay
interest and taxes on $175 investment
in order to get the use of an acre of
land with prices Of farm products as
they have been in recent years, the
farmer is in great danger of going
without profits, and even without fair
wages for the work he performs. 1t
is a mistake to think that a farm is
worth $175 an acre because other peo-
pie seem to be willing to pay that
amount regardless of it's productive
power. The other fellows may wake
up to the situation some day and not
be willing to pay the price The last
man who has paid the high price NAV
be left without buyer and lind that
he has lost large share of his in
vestment.
Inc solution OF this problem is for
the farmers to quit paying more than
the land is worth for farming pur-
poses. In case they cannot buy it for
this price, they had better rent land.
Land rents are very low in comparison
to the market price of land Land
held for $175 will often rent for
about Sc per acre. While it is much
cheaper to rent than to buy land, the
taking of land on lease has it's prob
lens also, but in older countries these
problems have been worked out on
the basis of compensation for unex-
hausted improvements made by the
tenant, in case the tenant is asked to
leave the farm. 1t is better to own
land than to be a tenant farmer if
one does not have to pay too much
for the privilege.-H. G. Taylor, Col
lege Of Agriculture.

LONG, ERIN LOANS
BOON TO FARMERS

That the lOng-term farm loan, com
mon in European countries, might
prove a great boon to rural life, is
the conclusion reached by II. C. Tay
lor Of the University Of Wisconsin.
AS the owner and operator Of
dairy farm and as q close student OF
other countries he has had an oppOr-
tunity not only to see the needs OF
farm life, but also to know how these,
at times, have been answered.
He believes that the American farm,
er is in too great rush to get out
Of debt and has found that, TOO often,
this is the central ambition ofthe farm
household
Everyone overw0rks and becomes
more or less irritable. The true home
spirit is driven from the Preside by
the presence of the mortgage.
Every member Of the family hopes
for some future day when the head
of the family will come home with the
mortgage in his pocket. After supper
he will display the document for
which all have so painfully labored
for several years. At the suggestion
of the good wife the mortgage will be
burned in the kitchen stove.
''Then the main aim Of the house
hold will have been attained and the
common bond gone-the occasion Of
strenuous labor viii be over.
Anyone of three things may hap
pen: Seeing the need of another fam
lily bond the husband and father may
buy another eighty acres adjoining
the farm and in this event the old
grind mill will continue. Feeling the
need of education for the children and
something else she knows not what,
the good mother may prevail in her
desire to move to town, and new trOu-
bles will lie in their pathway.
eff, perchance, the home spirit has
not been smothered in the days Of
debt-paying, it may arise when the
ashes of the mortgage crumble and
give new life to all the inmates Of
the house; it may, in fact, convert it
into a home where life is counted
more important than the material
basis of production. The new spirit
leads, where the old spirit drove, the
toilers to the field. More to be desired
is one such home than all the nations
farms
Let, then, the nation cast the mort
gage canker from the heart Of the
home. Let haste to be out of debt be
replaced by the calm spirit of mutual
helpfulness, where life is put above
the means Of living.
"The mortgage bank with long-term
loans, fair interest rates and very
gradual payment of the principal will
do much to relax the tenacious hold
which the get-out- of-debt-quickly spirit
has upon us, and give opportunity for
the growth of a true home spirit in ev-
cry farmhouse, and a spirit Of help
fulness and joyous life in every rural
community.
"The true aim of our endeavor is
life-not corn, not hogs, not more
land"

spell correctly:

business that calls for the highest de-
