cept such sales AND carry as assets
real estate mortgages thereon not in
excess Of rs per cent. of the sale val
ue of the property.
Limitation on Debt
A limitation is placed, however, up
on the indebtedness. No such mort
gage shall exceed $500. 1t is point.
ed out by Senator Skogmo that the
plan could be operated on 65 per
cent mortgage basis, shut an extern
sion of the limit to rs per cent would
afford larger opportunity for home
building"
"As prerequisite for the building
of such a home" continued Senator
Skogmo, "a life insurance policy for
the full amount of the purchase price
on the life of the purchaser is essen
tial, which, in the event of his death,
guarantees and assures to the family
the home free from all Indebtedness,
and to the company it gives an in
creasing certainty that the transact
ion will not involve a loss. Assume
that a man desires a $4,000 home. AS
a first condition he must apply for a
$4,000 twenty-year endowment policy
on which he must pay the premiums
and agrees to maintain such insur-
ance during at least the period of in
debtedness; the payment of the prem
ium on this policy is separate and
distinct from the monthly installment
payments on account of the home;
the policy is held to guarantee the
payment of any indebtedness in case
of death
Monthly Payments
GAS a second condition the purchas-
er agrees, on such a $4,000 home, to
pay a monthly installment of $50
from which per cent interest on the
indebtedness will first be deducted
and the balance credited to payment
on account of the indebtedness. Dur
ing the first five years the purchaser
holds the property under a five-year
land contract, title remaining with
the company. At the end of that per-
iod the purchaser assumes the title
and gives the company s per cent
mortgage for the indebtedness still
due agreeing to continue his monthly
payments and to keep his insurance
in force"
Mathematic tables have been COM
piled showing that the scheme can be
worked out.-Fred L. Holmes, IN the

TRICK HORSES POOR MOUNTS
Trained Animals Remember wnd H@- spond to Signals They Have Been
 Taught to Obey.

It is not always wise to terch a horse to play tricks, as is proved by a story told by an English army of ficer.
 John Leech's inimltable circus h@rse that insisted on sitting down with fIls rider whenever he heard a band play was the prototype of a horse belongs ing to the officer who, in a weak mo ment had taught 1t to rear up and "salaam" whenever he leaned forward to make a bow. r.
 It was all very pretty when the officer was out riding and met any lady of his acquaintance, but it be- came a nuisance when he was out pig sticking in India. He would lean for ward to meet the rush of a charging boar with his spear-up would go the beast on end just at the moment when the mans safety depended on his talk ing a true and deadly aim with his spear point. The consequence was that the ainmal's legs showed many scars from boars' tusks, and he was lucky that he did not end his career with his body ripped o9en. .e.
 The officer had. too. at one time fine but somewhat nervoTS charger. One dny on a parade the mount sud denly gave way with thc O ,cer and quietly lay down. The rider thought for q moment he was i'll, but on rous- ing him he immediately sprang to his feet again, quite fit and we'll. A week or so later when riding with s friend they stopped for a moment to admire the view, when down the horse went. It was evident to the officer that he had been trained to lie down at a given signal. but the man never could discover for the life of him what that signal was.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

What F. W. Galbraith, IT,, nation al commander of the American Le- zion, proclaim will be the greatest patriotic demonstration held in this country since the signing of the Arm istice will be held at Madison Square Garden, in New York, on March 18. It will be called the "All American Meeting for God and Country" and is designed as the answer of all pa triotic citizens to the pro-German Won Mach propaganda meeting held in Madison Square two weeks ago.
 A score, of organizations are CO., operating under the leadership of the Legion, and Colonel Galbraith, who will be the principal speaker, has been deluged by letters and tele- grams from veterans, public officials and citizens from virtually every state sending greetings to the meet ing, applauding the stand of the Le- zion in it's recent exposure of a re- vival of German propaganda efforts in America.
 From a number of cities where pro-German meetings have been scheluded comes the word that coun- ter demonstrations by patriotic cit izens will be organized at the first moment the propagandissts come out in the open with their plans. Many of the communications are from cit izens of foregip birth, including loy-

 to be stingy for thriftiness is not the evasion of ones duty to support worthy causes, but the ability to render support that is justly due the church, community and country. We get money in order to give and we save in order to have money to help all worthy things.
 l. Do not form the spend-thrift habit. This habit is formed by let ting money go before you know it. The remedy for this is to use bud get system. This system makes money account for itself and in this way one can plan for its wise ex- penditures. The art of true living lies largely in saving and giving. It is splendid to know how to save, it Is fine to be able to spend, but it is a Godlike privilege to be able to give. .s
 Still the question comes up, "How will all this help mel" Saving and investing wisely increases your money, it increases your credit, 1t helps make the nation prosperous and you are able to fortify yourself for the future which saves worry. The ability to save money develops a strong and certain character. /, Have one big purpose in life for which to work, and save money, time, and energy to accomplish this one thing and to develop a particular talent.
 How a man thinks about his money matters is fundamentally related to his character development. A man who is thinking straight about money matters is likely to be a worth while person.

Facts About vIoIIns.

Some people are possessed of the idea that the more scars, cracks and disfigurements they are in an old rio- lin the more valuable 1t Is. The con trary Is true. In the case of genu- inc old Cremona violins, preservation enters largely into their value. The more perfectly preserved they are, the greater prices they command. ViO- lins with the beautiful Cremona var nish in a fine state of preservation arc especially sought by connoisseurs. VIo- llnists who wish to preserve the value of their violins should take pains to keep them in perfect repair, and to wipe all dust and resin off the violin after using.-Exchnnge
