reau, Washington, d. c.
1t has always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get is
that which enables him to help him
self.
Some critics of the federal farm loan
act have charged that this act makes
1t too easy for farmers to get into
debt, and that there will be tendency
to overborrow.
A careful reading Of the bill will
show that this objection is met by very
carefully limiting the use to which the
borrowed money may be put and by
the requirement that farmers gradual
ly each year must reduce their In
debtedness.
The farm loan act was designed to
be helpful to the farmer of average
operations who has heretofore been
denied adequate credit. 1t wisely linn
Its the loans to 80 per cent Of the
appraised value of the security, be-
cause this limitation makes the Sc
curity Of high character, thus satis-
flying the investor, and therefore re-
suits in lower rate Of interest.
The use Of the money is carefully
limited to the purchase Of land. to pay
off existing Indebtedness, to purchase
live stock, or to make any productive
Improvement such as fencing, drain
age, buildings and machinery.
10 Really an Investment.
When money can be borrowed cheap.
ly for productive use, mortgage be-
comes an investment rather than a
handicap. The farmer Is enabled to
get money to put his land to better
use, so that the profits of his invest
ment will pay of his Indebtedness.
Hereafter judicious borrowing on the
part Of the farmer will be regarded
as business enterprise, Just as 1t Is
now considered beneficial for large
commercial institutions to borrow.
The farm loan act creates form of
Indebtedness which peculiarly fits the
farmers needs. 1t recognizes that the
farming business Is one Of slow re-
turns.
So, 1t provides that a mortgage made
under the act be paid on the amortiza-
tion or installation plan through long
or short period of years. The mort
cages may be made to run from five
to forty years, at the option Of the bor-
rover, and they must be paid off, In
terest and principal, in equal INSTALL
ments through the period of the loans.
Permission Is given to pay an of the
loan or any part of it on any interest
paying date after 1t has run five years.
Table Of Payments.
To give the prospective borrower
an exact idea Of the size of the pay
ments required annually to wipe out
a mortgage in given period, amortiza-
tion tables have been prepared. The
following table shows the amount of
annual payments required to extin-
guish, In the period indicated, a thou

5, 5h and 6 per cent:

hearts unaSked? I have been call
Ing on a certain girl simply because
she made it pleasant for ne evenings.
What is the meaning Of friendship
II II is not passing social hours with
those who interest us and whom we
are also Interested in. No man feels
called upon at the outset when he first
begins TO call TO state, 4 am on the
marry" or not on the marry as the
case may be. How does he know
whether his heart is to succumb to
love the fair creature or not?"
Affection comes after a man and
woman have been brought in contact
for length of time. If a man finds
that he is not experiencing the grand
heart throbs at meeting or parting
from her and is Indifferent as to
whether or not she entertains other
callers, he is not in love. Then the
more quickly he ceases his attentions
to her the better for both 1t will be.
In breaking away, he is simply giving
someone else who may care for her
a chance. 1t is the man who continues
to call, even after he has won a wom-
ans heart and knows her affection is
hopeless, who should be blamed.
Wake up, young men. think this
matter over, you who are backward in
declaring your intentions. The girl
you visit so constantly has a right to
know why you are coming. The man
who wishes to be friend only should
limit his calls to one fortnight. 1t is
cruel to trifle with woman's affec-
tiOns.

The advice was Ignore the natter
 COULD NOT BE IGNORED
 Soon, however, the point was reached when the matter could not be ignored From every state of the union, letters continued to arrive. Then it was that Tumulty spoke, and the department of justice put in search of the originator of the canard.
 it is learned today that the scandal had its beginning in Providence, +. |. The Providence Journal, on the front page of today's issue, prints Wash ington dispatch to that effect.

throughout New England and from that point to the states of the west There they found their most fertile soil. or the thousands of letters which arrived at the White House, 75 per cent came from states beyond the. Mississippi river. At the present time, the south has heard the sensation, and. southern let ters are just beginning to arrive.
 As to the cause of the verbal assault, there is difference of opinion. MT. Yum ulty declares that the work is that or German propagandist whose object IS to discredt in the minds of the people officials close to the President This idea is entertained, also, by secret serv- ice agents detailed on the case.
 The government Is leaving no stone unturned in it's effort to discover the source of the trouble. Every agent of the government has been instructed to investigate. In even the remotest cities, government officers are ascertaining To- cal facts and forwarding them to Wash ington. From this intricate maze, head quarters will endeavor to sift out the truth.
 HARD TO COUNTERACT
 That the task will be prodigious is admitted. An agent of the government, who has already done considerable work in this connection, stated this morning to the representative of The Age-Herald that the scandal had already developed 1oo distinct branches and that in all probability. each branch had 100 tribu- taries. It is the fear that the detailed truth will never be known.
 The reports assumed various forms. In the beginning. it was that Tumulty was suspicious person." And then 1t was that Tumulty, a close friend of Count Bernstorff, was acting for the former German ambassador during his absence And then it was that Tumulty was a spy. And then it was that Tum- ulty had been arrested and interned in Fort Leavenworth.
