MORTGAGED FARMS.

The federal census bureau an
neunces that 81 per cent of Missouri
farms operated by their owners are
nnortgaged. This is an increase from
46.S per cent in 1910. The mortgage
debt averages % per cent of the value
Of the property. which, the st. Louis
Times hold. is not showing calcu-
lated to cause any uneasiness under
any condition which might relate to it.
There is especially no need for dis
tress over the matter when the phase
of the situation not considered by the
census bureau is taken into account,
it continues, and offers the following
reasons:
Missouri farmers are buying land
for themselves. without a doubt. They
have been doing this in increasing
numbers for 20 years. There are
fewer renters today than ever before.
altho many of the states farm owners
at this time were tenants in the be-
ginning of their agricultural activities.
They became acquainted with the
possibilities of Missouri farming and
at the same time felt increasing desire
to work their own land. The oppor-
tunity for making the operating plant
pay for itself is better in the field of
crop production than in any other in
dustrial sphere.
So the Missourian who buys a farm
s. quite apt to be planning to make the
place become his out of its earnings
under his direction. He will do more
than this. indeed. He will add inn
provements to the property in the
fern of modern equipment of every
character, and all this the farm will
pay for. Sometimes it no sooner
clears off one claim than another is
laid upon 1.-THE meeting of the pur-
chase price is followed by it's guar

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

AS we view the economic and po-
litical history, as well as the geograph-
ical changes that have taken place in
this country in the last fifty years, it
must be apparent that no factor has
exerted SO much influence as the rail-
roads. 1t is only a short time since
the railroad stocks were considered
gilt-edged investments. This was be-
cause the railroads had demonstrated
an unquestioned ability to operate eff
ficiently and profitably. The coming
of the great war caused tremendous
strain to be placed on the roads, and
with it came an era of high prices
and unheard of operating costs. The
result was thai the weak railroads be-
came still weaker and the strong ones
lost their strength. Not only were
earnings greatly reduced, but the OPP
Grating efficiency also diminished to
a large extent. The strains of the war
period seemed to make 1t imperative
that a unification of control be put
in effect and it resulted in federal
supervision of all railroad operations
That period of control ternai-
mated with a deficit OF about $780,
600, 900. When the roads reverted to
their respective owners they were not
in the same condition in which the
government found them on taking
control. Steps were taken to COM
pensate the roads to some extent, but
whether sufficient provision was made
is another question.
The most constructive piece of legis-
lation affecting the roads is the Trans
portation Act. Among other provi-
sions the act called for an increase in
freight rates of 40 per cent on the
railroads in the Eastern territory; of
20 per cent on those in the South and
those in the Mountain Pacific dis
trict, and S5 per cent on the Western
group of roads. Passenger rates were
also increased to the extent of 20 per
cent thruout the country.
When the rate increases were
granted every one was jubilant. Won
ders were expected from the railroads.
But neither congress, the railroads nor
slump in prices. which would render
the people unable to pay the rates
provided. No scale of rates can be
profitable unless it brings the business,
and the roads are not getting the bust
ness. This is the situation that now
confronts the roads and the interstate
commerce commission

Among those who believe that the
unsatisfactory condition of the trans
portation business is due largely to
excessive freight rates is Henry Clews,
who declares early revision will be
necessary. 1t is now recognized, he
says, that one difficulty. lies in the un-
satisfactory character of the new rate
structure as artificially established by
the government authorities, which
practically prevents many heavy ma
terials from moving except under mar
rowly limited conditions.

Don't Spread Soul Sickness.

Don't Spread Soul Sickness.
Did you ever think that there is
nothing SO contagious as our moods ?
They are more catching than the
flu. The time will come when we will
be intelligent enough. to pay as much
attention to mental hygiene as we now
do to physical hygiene. Then, when
we perceive that we are suffering
from a grumpy, grouchy feeling, ac-
cempanied by a dark brown pessi-
n1istic taste. and other symptoms of
soul sickness, we shall be humane
own rooms. and hang out sign on
our door to warn other people away
until the attack is over, and the dan
ger of infection is past.
Perhaps we shall even go so far as
to have isolation hospitals where the
glooms will be forcib1y immured, as
are smallpox and leprosy cases, and
thus the general public will be pro-
tected against those who go about
scattering broadcast the germs of woe.
Undoubtedly this will be hard on the
melancholy themselves, but it would
make the world a healthier and hap
pier place for the balance of us to
live in
For none of us are immune to the
moods of those about us. Our poor

The cost of meat to more than one
hundred million consumers, farm
profits in every section of the United
States, and American live stock pro-
duction are all involved in a complaint
filed with the interstate commerce
commission by The National Live
Stock Exchange. This complaint, dr.
rected against all class railroads,
attacks the present rates on ordinary
live stock turnout the country. Con-
corning this far-reaching action taken
bv the exchange, President Everett Z.
Brown says: From all sections of
the country we have reports indicating
the discouraging and disheartening ef-
fects of the present rate adjustment,
which, coupled with the recent decline
in live stock values, givesSto the pro-
Queer more than his proportionate
share OF the postwar readjustment
burden" What Mr.. Brown says prob
ably applies equally to every other
productive industry. Under the old
competitive system we should find
some roads cutting rates already, but
under the more modern plan the peo-
pie must await concerted action on
the part of the roads.

There were no papers signed on the
partnership The two just accepted
each other in happy-go-lucky trust.
In the center of the window Eva had
put one of Condon's most beautiful
copper vases and over it, suggesting
lamp, one her own soft yellow
shades. The stocks sold beautifully
together-candle sticks, incense burn
ers, cigaret boxes with cushions, foot
stools and shades.
And each night when it was time
to close the shop it was with linger-
it. Condor locked up the door and
Eva slipped out into the night on the
arm of the young man who had called
for her each night since the very be-
ginning.
Condon's girl came in, too, from time
to time and while seeming to be inter-
ested in the salable articles sent many
a dark look at Eva as she brightly
talked to this or that customer. Eva
did not care much for the type of girl
her partner had selected for the nlatri-
monia1 sea nor did Condor exactly
fancy Eva's prospective husband.
However. neither had the bad taste
to air his or her opinions in the
matter.
Business was going along spendidIy
and the Two in One might truth
fully be called the most attractive shop
in the village.
And one bright morning Condor ar
rived with an unusual happiness radi-
ating from his magnetic person and
Eva came in with a brilliancy that
quite matched the sunny morning.
Kind of perky this morning, aren't
you?" Condor greeted her.

RETURNING SPRING.

1t wont be long before wen hear
The robins calling loud and clear
And hear the blackbirds on the fence
with all their feathered consequence,
Chattering and suffering over things.
And getting mad and locking wings
And bills and feet, the way men act
At times about some simple fact,
Disputing one another there -
AS tho the Lord ON high will care =
Which one of them was fed the best
Or which one had the finest nest
1t won't be long before well see
The green returning to the tree,
An over all our lives anew
Will stretch kindly sky or blues
The tulips will come sPringing up
To catch the sunbeams In a cup
And everyone of them will say,
I'VE were not dead, but Just away
We've had our sleep, and now We rise.
Fresh passengers from heavenly skies,
To carry beauty down below
For everyone Of you to know.
1t won't be long before the streams
Will wake frem sill their winter dreams,
And start to laugh and race again
Down hiilsides and the level plain,
Making their journey to the sea
Most human-like II seems to me;
For We are headed seward, too
Each morning here we wake anew
To toss and race and move along
Towards that great uEnumbered throng
Which went before, and at the end
Our lives with greater lives to bend.
1t won't be leng before the Spring
Should strengthen faith that's faltering

flowers because they know nothing
about either. Yet these are the very
ones who destroy valuable plants.
Some bright flowers by the roadside
attract them just asa bright object
attracts a baby. They get out and
gather all in sight. Especially the
women. A Sunday in the country is
not complete for the average flapper
unless she comes back laden with
dropping vegetation
1t is to these careless ones that the
scientists make their appeal. Take
a few flowers, they say. but don't
take them all. Cut a twig off bush
if you must, but don't try to take the
bush home. Love dear old Mother
Nature, but treat her gently.
