MEXICAN ANTHEM

\1aVe you read OF the French army
that once marched up the hill and
then marched down again? Our punt
tive expedition into Mexico furnishes
parallel instance.)
Across the plains our soldiers went,
Through sagebrush ana through
sand,
And over rocky hills, hellbent,
And cultivated land;
Through narrow gOrges, dark and deep,
And up the rugged mountain steep.
They cornered Villa in the trough
OF many mountain wave,
And there betimes they killed him off
Or smote with wounds the knave
Whose fighting friends,too proud to
yield,
Dragged Villa, bleeding, from the field.
His perf1dy can't forgive;
In spite of shot and shell, 81
And all our measures punitive,
The cuss is doing we'll.
He proves to US the dead survive,
Since he is very much alive.
Ten thousand men upon his track,
Said, Hes our meat or BUST
Now these same warriors wander back
Along their trail of dust.
Villa will smoker in his sleeve
To see them take their final leave.

the appraised value OF the land, and
this is written on the assumption that
the tenant will not pay more for his
land than it is actually worth, or in
other words, its appraised value as
contemplated under the farm loan act.
To furnish concrete example: Sup
pose John Smith, a renter, wants to
buy 100 acres of land, valued at $50 an
acre: The total purchase price would
be $4,000, but John Smith has not the
money to buy it. Under the farm loan
act, Smith would he entitled to borrow
$4,000 of the appraised value, if this
appraised value should be the same
as the purchase price. This would
leave $4,000 to be handled by a second
mortgage. The amount borrowed I'M
der the farm loan act could be paid to
the original owner of the land and a
second mortgage executed for the diff
ference. The original owner would
thus get satisfactory payment down,
and if he had confidence in the pur-
chaser, he would probably be willing
to accept a second mortgage for the
balance, divided into ten annual pay
ments.
Here is the way it would figure out:
The first mortgage of $500 given un-
der the farm loan act would draw, let
us say, 51a per cent interest and would
be paid off on the installment plan
through a period of 40 years by max
ing annual payments of $15595. Now
let us say that the second mortgage
would draw six per cent and could be
arranged SO as to be retired in ten
Thn int H., m
mortgage at six per cent would be
$15O the first year and one tenth of
the $4,000 would be $3.50. Adding the
interest and the one tenth annual pay
ment would mean payment of $4OO
On the second mortgage the first year.
The second year payment would be
1886 and the following payments
through the ten years to retire the
second mortgage, both principal and
interest, would be 1910, 1855, $40,
1925, 1910, $295, $3.50 and $265.
On top OF all these annual payments
would be the $155.95 interest and
amortization payments on the first
mortgage to the federal land bank so
that the total payments, interest and
principal, on the two mortgages would
begin at $555.95 and dwindle down to
$420.95 the tenth year and after that
only $155.95 each year. II the terms
Of the second mortgage could be ar.
ranged for longer than ten years the
required annual payments would be
CORRESPONDENCE reduced.
These payments are no greater than
the average tenant pays for rent. The
first year payment on both of these
mortgages would amount to approx.
mately $3.50 an acre. These would
gradually reduce until the tenth year
he would be paying 1920 an acre and
each year after that he would be nay.
ing only $1.55 per acre per year. In.
stead OF being paid as rental this
money is applied on the purchase price
Of the land.

Landless Use Farm Loan Act

Washington, Jan. 19.-The question

this does not exceed SO per cent of
the appraised value-and a s econd
