All farm mortgages are not in trouble. More
than 70 percent according to the life insurance COM
panies' records paid up to date both as TO in
terest and principal
Economists find it interesting to know what was
done with the money borrowed by the farmers.
careful study shows that probably most of this money
went to buy more land Some of it borrowed
to clean up an accumulation of old debts; some for
new houses and barns some to send children through
college-it went for all kinds Of purposes. most of
them eminently sound and praiseworthy. Apparently
not even minor fraction of it lost in Wall
Street speculation. That portion which was spent
in buying more land usually resulted in the advan-
tageous rounding out of property by an ambitious
and successful man: that which was spent in i'm
provements not wasted for the new houses.
barns and drains are still there; as for the money
spent to clean up old debts, there may have been
the queston-if the borrower in debt before, may
not the same operate to produce new debts?
The farm mortgage situation is at this time in
vastly better shape than it years ago. better
method of handling the mortgages in default has
been worked out The delinquent borrower longer
is forced to the wall. And if compares the
record of 70 percent of farm mortgages in perfectly
good shape with the record of the New York Stock
Exchange industrial securities the comparison is all
in favor of the former Certainly so percent of the
securities of the exchange did not through with

There has been such a hullabaloo raised over
the plight of the farmer that it is anss to study
the record which shows though the farmer has had
his troubles, yet for the greater part he has been
able to make, in the most trying circumstances, q
highly commendable showing. "

a. short supply route to Central China.

they must not begin before everything is in readiness
Too much haste would serve the enemy as well as
too much delay. There much unrest and many
demands for action before the of the African

been started in advance of the date set.
Much preparation must be made before we can
