HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

One of the most curious things III
human nature is the exercise OF auth
ority by the average man. Place MN
in n position that is merely subordinate
and everything goes we'll, anyway, 50
far as authority is concerned. But
put him in a position Of authority and
at once he begins to resist the auth
ority Just above, exactly as the fellow
above him in turn resists the author
inv still higher. And so on to the top.
Perhaps the top will be found resist
ing his wife, All this, OF course, ism [
~ CIV that such resistance hasn't some
good points. although friction OF any
kind reduces the effectiveness desired
at least equalling the quantity OF fric-
ton applied

EASY LOANS TO
HOME BUILDING

Easy loans are offered to home
builders of Minnesota and Northern
Wisconsin through the housing loan
arrangement made by the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Co. Of New York,
with the Capital Trust and Savings
Bank of ST. Paul.
The fine feature is fifteen years time
at three per cent interest, semi-annual->
~ Three million dollars is the sum
now available
This is the best proposition of the
kind we have seen yet, and it is the
only loan we have heard of that was
better than the Federal Land Loan
Bank made. With big insurance COM
panics starting to make loans on west
ern real estate or homes at these rates,
the farm loans Of all kinds should be
easier to get and at lower interest.

THE PRICE OF FAKE FTNAN.
CTERING -

\ Charles Ponzi Is still reckoned one
of the Napoleonic swindlers Of finance.
He ran a banking system in Boston
and some nearby towns which had this
much likeness to a real bank, that it
received deposits of money. When it
came to paying the money again, the re-
semblance ceased, and ponzi, after a
hard fought trial, was sent TO prison
for five years.
Before Uncle Sam checked his Gu
recr. Ponzi sWindled something over
10000 persons out of nearly $4,000 900.
He promised his dupes to pay them 80
per cent interest III fOrty-fye days.
Actually, he paid nothing, but receiv-
ers who We're put In charge of his as
sets have been more kind. They man
aged to save 10 per cent from the
wreck, and yesterday each of the
cheated deposltors got a check for 10
cents out of every dollar that he had
trusted to the faker now in jail
The difference between getting 400
per cent per year on ones investment
and losing all but 10 per cent of it is
/ fairly conspicuous At that, Ponzi's
victims were lucky Most folks who
listen TO the siren song Of 'get-rich-
quick" chaps get nothing back.
| The moral is plain. The man or
woman who has savings TO care for
should take them 10 a savings bank.
| When enough has been accumulated
| to warrant investment-and in these
days, many desirable bonds come in
! 500 denominations ask the bank
E.adyice on what to buy. That advice
may be conservative, but it will be
safe. Bankers, real bankers, have
faults, but they hate cheating as nat
! urally, and instinctively as musician
hates a false note; and they have u
direct selfish interest in making their
depositOrs prosperous.
If the American people would save
AID devote to productive investment
the money now filched from them in
fake stock schemes and fake banking,
schemes, they would have Il sinking
fund that would retire the natiOna
debt within the lifetime of persons now
living. The saving could be made il
every man and woman who has &C
formulated little surplus would ash
the advice of a reputable banker before
investing it.--Chicgo Journal.

ATTOS AND RAILROADS BOTH

On all sides YOU see the extension OF

Here and there railroads are aban-

trains on branch lines and carrying
people iii large truck cars.
All this is an indication Of the way
things are going in transportation. IL
IS the way the railroads themselves be-
gan spreading over the land % to 80
years ago.
How seriously is the expansion OF
the automobile in transportation going

since railroad men were much alarmed,

WHY DISCRIMINATE

Bankers in other counties are offer
ing to make loans at reduced rates to
farmers TO buy dynamite. All well
and good, but why not make loans at
reduced rates for all phases of land
clearing and not pick out any special
method to follow. Farmers generally
would make better use of money If they
have il to use as they see fit for land
clearing purposes. \ man needs money
