FARM LOANS
AT 5 IL PER CENT

Loans on farm lands at II per cent
interest, WITH PRIVILEGE OF
PAYING ON THE PRINCIPAL
at any annual interest period.
AS a rule farmers 90 not care to
cucumber their land with a long term
mortgage without the privilege of re-
paying the entire loan in a reasonable
length of time. Many sales have been
prevented because the borrowers have
been unable to obtain a release of the
mortgage before maturity without the
payment of a heavy bonus. Under the
option in our mortgage papers THE
BORROWER CAN REPAY THE EN-
TIRE LOAN, OR A PORTION OF
1T, AT ANY INTEREST PERIOD,
if he desires to do so.
Loans are made ONLY ON I'M
PROVED FARM LANDS.
In estimating the value of land, its
productive capacity is taken as ba-
sis while its nearness to market. acces-
sibility to roads and turnpikes, neigh
borhood, ETC., are also considered.
The partial payment privilege, and
long time, make this contract very
favorable land desirable one for far
mers. Then, too, we close our loans
WITHOUT DELAY. For further in
formation, address

SAD BUT TRUE

John Lawrence was Ia young man
just starting out in life. He had a
loving wife and three small children.
He was a hard worker and was max
ing a good living for his family but
he did not lay anything up for the
proverbiaI f'rainy day." He was in the
very best of health and was confident
that his days upon earth would be
many. To have seem him in all the vi
gor and strength Of his magnificent
manhood, one would have said that he
had little to fear before old age. Be
ieving these things himself he felt
secure if he provided a living for his
wife and children So the years passed
swiftly away. Other children came to
his home but his habit of just making
a living and failing to save anything
began to bring him trouble. His fam
lily had increased but times were hard
and he found that he must have some
things that he did not have the money
at hand to purchase them. So her bor-
rowed some money and had his friends
to stand as sureties for him. He kept
this plan in force for some time, his
debts constantly increasing.
By and by sickness came. The in
fluenza epidemic was raging over
the country and John was one of it's
victims. His great physical strength
failed him at last, and when pneu-
monia set up his life was despaired of.
Imagine the awful state of mind when
he realized that death was near and
that he must bid the family he had
protected through the years goodbye.
He would be compelled to leave them
to the charities of a cold and selfish
world. He had been an orphan himself
and it was no wander that he con-
stantly called out, my poor wife and
little children, what will become of
them ?" as he tossed restlessly during
his last hours. Then he thought of
his good friends who. had been sureties
for him. Alas, they must pay his debts.
This was bad but it was nothing when
he realized that his wife and children
must bear the stigma of his not being
an honest man for his failure to pay
his debts. What could he do? He was
now helpless and there was no way
of escape. In this awful state of mind
he crossed the silent river. What a
heritage to his bereaved family has
he left. Debts they will never be able
to pay with the world saying that
he was dishonest man. Worse than
all this there is no bread for their
hunger and no raiment to clothe their
bodies{ How could this have been
avoided? If John Lawrence had only
carried policy in the Prudential Life
Insurane Company all would have
been well

JOSEPHINE.

The origin Of Josephine lies in script
ural history. When after long waiting
and hoping, a son was born TO Rachel,
she named him Joseph the name COM
ing from word meaning an addition,
because she hoped that there would be
still another child added to her family.
The beautiful character of Joseph as
sured him namesakes beyond number
and in 1921, a festival day was fixed
by the Pone in honor Of st. Joseph,
the husband Of the Blessed Virgin. This
spread the use of his name afar Spain
adopted il, calling him Jose Maria, or
PepIto for the contraction IN this way,
Iepita or Josefa, the feminine form
arose.
The daughter Of Maria Theresa was
called Maria JoSepha and these names
were seldom separated in France Italy
and Germany. The famous Empress
Josephine really bore the name of Marie
Josepha Rose. Her unfortunate career
as the wife of Napoleon made her such
a dramatic figure In French history that
Josephine became the faYorite name of
French damsels. who sometimes con-
tracted it to Fifine o. Finette. In
Switzerland, the naue became, through
some curious contraction. Boppi and is
still used as such among the peasants.
Josephine was introduced into Eng
land, straight from France and no ef-
fort was made to change 1t or place the
stamp of the Anglo Saxon upon it,

popular in all Latin countries, except

Fanny Mendelssohn wrote some Of the

Il think that the American college
woman Is ideally adapted to become

tored genius that are famous in story
are prominent because of their party
and of the rerlarl<ableness of them. The
college graduate has a. broad back
