The Trumbul Electric nine ob- tained full revenge on the Peck ! Spring team in the Industrial base 1 ball league Tuesday evening when Miller hested Dudack in the pitch crs' battle by 4-3 and the Spring Casters were sent into the league cellar. The previous game between the teams, when the Temcos walk ed off the field in the rain and dark ness and tho Peck players claimed a forfeit, had stirred up feeling, and there was q large and rabid follow ing along each foul line to. cheer and 'razz" every move made in the game. The Temcos increased their lead to two and a half games. but tightest and most exciting games of the season.
 In the first inning the Spring Makers were unable to score run on a base on balls and hit. Tn the Temco's half of the first Cassidy was allowed d base on balls. He stole second and Miller drove a hit out to left field. Schurr making q fine leaping catch of 1t and doubling Cassidy off second.
 In the second inning the Spring Makers scored the first run of the game on free pass to Dudack. Cavanaugh's sacrifice, and a wild throw by Derazio in an attempt to catch Dudack going to third. The Temcos tied the count in the third when Silverio hit an infield tap which Gnazzo threw wild to first, fol- lowed by Casady's smashing double to right. Cassidy was caught at third when he attempted 10 stretch it into three-base hit.
 Gnazzo started the fourth with his second hit of the game but no dam- age was done, as the next three hit ters went out in order. With the count 1-1 the Temcos forged ahead in the fourth by scoring two runs on Baich's hit which Cavanaush muffed, followed by Derazios s smashing single and Derby's hit which scored both Babich and De- razio.
 The Peck Spring showed its ability by. knotting the count at 3-3 in the sixth on Gnazzo's free pass.

taxes and insurance on the property
for an entire year.
The lender must do this so the
property will not be seized for taxes
or burn down and net him nothing
In addition. he must forego the in
terest on the mortgage for this
time. And the day before the year
period expires, the borrower can
paw the interest ard avoid fore
closure. In view of these condi-
tions and the fact that the law
protects the borrower much better
than it protects the lender. it Is no
unreasonable for the lender to ex-
pect the prevailing mortgage rates.
But foreclosures are unberevably
few compared to the vast sums
loared in mortgages. The interests
lending morev in this field rely on
what is known as good will for
their verv existence. Competition
Is keen. there is ar adequate flow
Of capital for mortgage purposes.
and the mortgage interests cannot
secure public good will by foreclos-
ing on the stroke Of twelve o'clock.
Therefore. every consideration is
given to mortgage borrowers and
foreclosure is resorted to only when
all else fails.
The man with a mortgage today
thinks he is a pretty fine fellow.
because he can command credit and
because he knows that no black
haired william will come around on
the date Of maturity and demand
his beautiful daughter.

Million Gallon
Well Completed
At Raymondville

RAYMONDvILLE, Oct. 13.-The
Layne-Texas company has completed
a water we'll for the city of Ray
mondville, with a flow Of ove 1,000,-
900 gallons per day, according to an
nouncemnt of Chief Driller Wander
slice. The well was drilled to a
depth of 1900 feet in the hope of
striking a stratum Of water with a
flow of 500 gallons per minute, but
failing in this, the drillers put in
strainers at the various sands. The
result obtained was above expecta-
tions, with a combined flow Of over
500 gallons per minute.
Samples of the water have been
forwarded to the state health depart
ment at Austin, and to the laborato-
ries of the Layne-Texas company at
Houston, and have oeen pronounced
reasonably free from mineral sub
stances and healthful for all domes-
tic purposes. The supply obtained
will be sufficient for all purposes Of
the city, it has been announced.
Reservations toraling 225,000 gal
Ions have been constructed, which as
sure an abundant supply at all times.

must have the security Of property if
he is borrowing on a home already
paid for, or he must have the Sc
curity Of equity if he is borrowing
to buy or build a new home. Why
should such a man blush at the
thought Of a mortgage?
Means Of Acquiring Home
For a prospective home buyer or
builder, a mortgage is a means Of
acquiring a home that could not be
secured in any other way unless the
prospective buyer or builder could
pay all cash; and statistics show that
very very few homes are purchased
BY complete cash payments. For the
man with a little money TO invest the
mortgage is a good place in which to
put his savings. Firt mortgage loans
will bring a return Of from five TO
seven per cent; and indeed SO pop
ular has become this form of invest
ment that in many parts Of the coun-
try today. fractional" mortgages or
parts Of large mortgages can be
bought in 500 units, thereby max
ing it possible for the small investor
to enter this field.
The organizations that now deal
in first mortgage loans include great
mortgage companies. banks, trust
building and loan associations. Also
as a result of the PASSAGE of the
recent McFadden Act. national banks
are permitted now to lend mortgage
funds. These institutions, organic
ed with the borrowers interests in
mind. presided over by able minds.
are a far cry from the dingv one
DON offices where some honest and
a good many dishonest money lenders
drew UP foreclosures a hundred
years ago.
Foreclosure Difficult
The man in the street sometimes
may think that mortgage interest
and commission rates are high and
IL is we'll to point out that one Of
the eason for existing rates lies in
the difficulty of foreclosure in mod
ern times. The time required after
the default Of the borrower before
the lender a acquire title to the
property varies from a few weeks In
som states TO as much as two
months in others. In Missouri the
time is 20 DAYS. in Michigan il Is
Is months. in Maine Il is one year.
This means that if the borrower de-
faults the lender Of mortgage
money in Maine in order to pro-
tect his interests has 10 pay the

MORTGAGES No
LONGER Bring
FORTH Shame
Are Considered Good
Business And Are
Now Safegua e d
By Law, Customs

Not so long ago a mortgage was a
stain on the family honor. Mortgages
were never discussed in public and
their owners shuddered about them
IN private The books and plays Of
1ifty years ago reflected the horror
with which the mortgage was regard
ed; and mortgages were always viii
lans who demanded the beautiful
golden haired daughter on the date
OF maturity or threatened TO move
the family heirloom into the street.
Times have changed and the mort
gage should not be looked upon now
as the first step towards the poor
mouse. For mortgages are no longer
held by heartless VILLAINS who fore
close on the stroke Of twelve o'clock
and evict the family into a snow
storm. The activity of these cruel
and picturesque Shyiocks has been
developed into a great business, dig
nified by sagacious minds and safe
guarded by state and federal legisla-
tion.
Modern Practice
Yet many people have the obsolete
idea that a mortgage is undesirable
and a threat of failure, and it is for
tA0SG RGQHAC IuGL the LAEIN
concerning mortgages are set forth.
We will deal today only with gen
eral facts about first mortgages.
Technical and legal information on
this subject will be treated in subse-
quent articles; and forms Of first
mortgages, and junior liens or second
mortgages will be discussed later as
these are all subjects that require
space TO describe.
A real estate mortgage Il an in
strument by which real estate is
pledged TO secure the debt Of a len
der (called a mortgagor) usually
evidenced by notes or bonds, so If
the debt is not paid the real estate
may be sold and the proceeds used
for that purpose. In other words, a
mortgage is n document pledging the
security Of a property, given by its
owner to a person or organization
advancing money to the owner. Most
first mortgages on homes are under
taken in connection with buying or
building the home and the buyer or
builder secures enough cash in this
way TO finance his project by pledg-
ing as security the property his own
money partly purchased.
Credit Essential
People whose homes were bought
with cash often find il necessary or
desirable later to place a first and
sometimes a second mortgage on
their property in order to obtain
funds for various purposes.
Very few businesses today can 90
very far without credit. Even the
little corner grocery store requires
credit in order to purchase new
stock. The man who can command
credit today can command the mod
ern world. And the man who can
secure a mortgage is a man who can
secure credit. The very fact that he
can obtain a mortgage means that
he has something behind him. He
