ly half century ago. His advent into
office adds to the prominence of his
state in national government affairs for
it is regarded as almost certain that
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, will be
again chosen as Republican leader in
the senate, and Representative Fred
erick H. Gillett as speaker of the
house.
Should Mr.. Gillett succeed himself
a Massachusetts man will preside over
each branch of congress, most I'M
usual coincidence. More unusual still
is the fact that both Mr. Coolidge and
Mr.. Gillett come from the same con
gressional district. Northampton, the
home of the vice-president being in
the same district as Springfield. the
home of the speaker. Both men are
graduates of Amherst ollege.
Vice-president Coolidge is entering
upon his first service in the field OF
national politics. but for 20 years he
has been active in the political service
Of his state, rising from membership
in the council of his city to governor
of the commonwealth.

Figures for U. s.

For the United States the reports says:
 "The number of farms operated by their owners for which the amount was 1,193,S7S, as compared with 1006, 511 in 1910 The amount of debt re- ported was S4,O12, 2,711,213 in 1920, as against $1, ,172, ,S51 in 1910. The in- crease in the amount of debt amounted to s, 2S6, ,53S, ,362, or 1925 per cent, while the value of the mortgaged farms increased 1176 pc rcent during the decade and there number 1S.6 per cent
 No attempt was made by the Gen. sus Bureau to secure information with regard to mortgage debt on farms oper ated by managers or tenants and the amount of the mortgage debt was tabu- lated only fo rthose farms which con sisted wholly of land owned by the operator excluding farms whose opera tors hired additional land
 The states reporting the largest amount of farm mortgage debt in 1920 were as follows: Iowa $4S9.S16.739 Wisconsin, S354. 4.574,3 ,391; Minnesota, $254475,222 California, S224, ,O63 .9O3 Missouri. $216, 463 ,3SO and Illinois, S197. .504756.
 The greatest relative increases in farm mortgage debt took place in the mountain states, Montana showing a debt more than seven times as large in 1920 as in 1910. Notable relative in creases were made also in Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas and California. The largest absolute increase was in Iowa-from S2O4.242, 722 in 1910 to S4S9S16,739 in 1920. an increase of $2S5.574,017, which is more than the total farm mortgage debt of any other state except Wisconsin.

DAILY SERMON
(By a Layman)

tbs o AL"S iiN'i
 Enter not into the path of the wick ed, and go not in the way of the wicked men; avoid it; pass not by it; turn from it and pass away."-Prov. 4 :15-15.
 Life's pathway is one that is be- set with dangers on every side, the man who heedlessly travels this path alone will soon find himself surround nd by the forces that seem to ruin and wreck his soul and make his life a allure.
 No hideous, ugly, repelling spectres at first greet you; as you enter sins pathway there is the sound of entranc- ing music, the gleeful laugh of the thoughtless, the glittering display of the pool hall the dizzy dazzling display of the theatre, all these seemingly jn- nocent amusements are but the recruit ing stations fsin; the real struggle comes on life's battlefield.
 No man is so wise but that he has been deceived none so strong that he has not fallen; none so smart but that he becomes a victim once the soul en- ter's Satan's glided palaces of sin, what ever be its name.
 Wisdom's cry is to avoid them, pass not where they are, and enter not their paths. Your eternal destiny is at stake ;

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE
Dear TeSsies

Dear Tessie:
1 don't think much of your schome
to take in a couple of desirable. depend
able boarders' as means TO make ex-
penses meet themselves coming. In tho
first place. there's my private stock TO
consider. and in these days OF almost
prohibition no boarders are desirable
or dependable in any house where there s
a private stock salted away, because
human nature is frail and will always
declare itself when left alone with temp
tation without n chaperon.
In the second place, i don't want to
be anybody's landlord. When people
have an idle moment on their hands
nowadays they just MI m the time by
putting curses on landlords in general,
and my chances OF entering heaven are
slim enough after selling Daisy Canned
Soups all these years to trusting pub
lie without having them endangered any
further by a lot of loose curses.
Not that l personally consider land
lords any worse than the rest of us
profiteers. only they had the good luck
to make the richest hauls so it's only
fair that they should stand for the
richest abuse. If 1 was landlord I'd
put all the insults down as overhead
expenses and regard them as necessary
evils, like income taxes. profiteer
is a person that1l take as much rs he's
allowed to get. and IL you want TO get
a ready list of those birds all you have
to do is bind all the business directories
of the world into one unhandy volume
In other words. the human race is the
tgreatest race there is and that's no COM
pliment at that
I'm glad the baby didn't swallow the
spoon. like you thought. but the exper-
ience should be an object lesson for
you not TO leave anything i'm reach of
his mouth that he can possibly swallow
nothing smaller than the average size
book, for example. Sweet dreams Of
me.
Joe.
