work Christmas ve. and the night
t before that as Miss Manning had ar
ranged to have those evenings off. Vio
let agreed to work in her stead. It
meant a big sacrifice, but she could see
no other way.
As the hustling. Jostling crowd im
i portuned her to be waited sin. and she
glanled up at the clock which pointed
Sto nine. she thought how at this time
she had meant to be starting for the
I Christmas party, something like tears
t was very near her eyes. Just then
Mabel's mother came up to her.
"Mahel has made me come to take
your place," she osaid. "She has just
Iheard how you gave up a party for her
*sake. and she's feeling terribly.",
"Who told her?" asked Violet with
Ssome vexation. "Now, I don't mind a
bit. I cann't go, because I couldn't fin
ish my dress. Just tell her not to

A young man buying something at
the opposite counter, overhearing the
conversation, listened. He came up
quickly to Violet.
"Miss Manning!" he cried in gen
uline amazement.
"Mr. Wendell!" exclaimed Violet, in
equal surprise.
"Come right along." he laughed.
"P'm not going to be cheated out of a
dance!"
"Butt I haven't any dress," she pr
tested.
"There are dresses enough there."
Somehow he whirled her out of the
store and into his cor, antd whesn he
had stowed her among the furs told
her how he had tried to find her ad- C
dress, and no one seented to know,
and how he had bless.d his lucky stars
that something for the Christmas trae
had brought hitm to that store. Mrs.
lagden, of course, could not resist hi C
denmand for a party gown. and Violet a
looked so perfectly stunning that, be
ing a young man who did things rap
hlly, he proposed to her before the P
evening was over.
"What you did for that glrl," he d
said. "That was splendid." I
So Violet found after all his world 0

FARM LOAN ACT. }
:t' IV. From the Point of View of
the Investor.
Ily
r:d
(By Frank it. Wihlsn. federal loan bu
reau, Washington, Dt. C.)
Farm lands have always been re
,t garded as the safest security in the
;11,, world. But loans -made :aginst farm
, nds have generally exauted a higher
interest rate than loans on other good
i et security.
rs. There are several reasons for this.
dl Such loans are not readily transfer
able, i. e.. mnarketable. Farm loans
Ie are ui'ually desired for lnr pearids.
or A loan for less than five vyears ik usu
ally of little value to the farmeir. If
1 the loa is made for the pIlrp.t of
lIIh ulyin; lanit the farntr's (ch:iaie to
ht lay it oTff is to make tthe miney out
:at If the laind. It is against r.ean to
Sexpect that land will pay for itself
,Id in live years.
ll W\'ell-niu:anntedI conarnere!ail lnks
a raunlot I:ake a hlusnlr'.s of iend|inl
i iar,'vy on furms andl carryin the leans
11, thremselves. It is not god h:laukilg.
;=. It tiehs tip their fundls in Ipermaitient
of invest''lts andl If pIrsistd lal con
he tinually wmuld ruin any hank. This
fact limits the supply of local money
ndl for farm loans, and partially acounts
t'i- for high interest rates on them.
1i Provides Needed Agency.
at The farm lands of the United States
e constitu te a great Inai 5 of vtluable
be assets a; ainst which money oug;ht to
t t, ,irrowel at fair rates of interest.
B But it hits bee-an a chao tic I:mass of
value. N, agency has ever undher:tk
'" en to ausenll this In:ess of us<trs int
,t tigtla.ia , frirm s, thait It rulm l le
re.adily handled as a Ia::rlceta:lle se
t curity.
rt N ,aw the government staps in andl
" proiies this ::tcenaly. It s::ys to, the
:r'Iii, r ho vla ints to use hs land us
, ec,:rity:
"Yu' join a natlional farm ,:tlan ts
iy stoctiattln andl cntriute yqour liilort
r gaqe:o to a great federal land haunk pool
of mortgages. We have pr,~lide.l the
Iomachinery for this purl,,se andl adalt
ed rules for its ,operatlion sa, that the
interest of all will ae safeguarded.
SWhen your mort;gages are massed to
gather, a federal land lank s\ill takae
these Imortgaiges Ianld isste lands
' against them; sell the hbnds to inves
tors, and re-lend the nmoney to farm
ers. The pooled lll'tgage. of tlthe
farmers of the United States will be
' security for every bond. The high
f character of this security means that I
r peop,'lle who have money to invest will
jump at the chance to put their say
n !tugs up against your security at a
low rate of Interest. We will let you
t have this moiney at actual cost to us.
pIlus not to exceed 1 per cent tao cover
the cost of operating this mnlat'y-as
snrlaling and money-lendling ta
t chinery."
Attractive to the Investor.
Then Uncle Sam turns to the in
vestor and says:
"We have enabled the farmers of
the United States to give us their
t massedl mortgages. We are offering
you bonds which are in reality first
mortgages against the farms of all
t who join this Iool. It Is the best se
curity in the world, because every dol
lar a farmer borrows is represented
by $2 worth of land plus the stock
each farmer has purchased in his local
association. To make these bonds even
more attractive, so as to eventually
give the farmer a lower interest rate,
we have exempted them from all forms
of taxation. Even Uncle Sam will not
collect any tax from them, nor from
the income upon them. No state or
tmunicipality may tax them. We have
made these bonds in small denomina
tions from $25 upward so their pur
chase will be easy among peoale with
small savings, and we will have the
bonds printed and engraved by the
government bureau of engraving and
printing to protect them against coun
terfeiting, and the United States se
cret service will watch over them."
So the farm loan act. In addition
to providing money for land purchase
and farm development, provides a new
form of security which ought to be
come one of the most popular in exist
ence, because it is based on the land
values of the entire country.

Dwindling Wool Supply.
War and embargoes are making tex
tile men uneasy as to the wool sup
ply. World demand is increasing
while the supply is growing less. Our
own needs are twice what we raise
and the chasm between domestic sup-I
ply and demand is widening. Our pro
ductIon is lear today than 25 years
ago, while the population has in
creasho 60 per cent. The difference
between what we prodyte and what
we use must be made up by imrh rts, h
withathhe world bidding against us.I
The British embargo on wool shows
how precarious is our position. Yet,
in pefce and in war, wool is aon abo
late necessity. Several year- ago ihen
alarm was taken at the declining beef
supply many felt that the situation
could not be remedied. But today cat
tle are Increasing in the United Statesn
Mtore sheep and wool can be raised al
so if proper attention be given the
industry.
Wages (Go Up In Japan*.
Thanks to the generi l business al
tivity in consequence of the great Eu
ropean war the worehng classes ins r
Japan are now unusu-tly prosperous
and cogtented, sayt East and West.
To quote nn example, hatoba coolies
in aokohama are now getting s yen
pnr month, while waste paper ouyers
are making as much ai 1.nd- yen a day.
Sake shops near the foreign and na
tive bunds are now buater than ever,
being well patronized by the coolie and
ouwer classer. A fact worth record
ing Is that the latter do n-t now In
dulge in ganmblinig on as hlrge a scale
Cs formerly. Salaried men alone are
the victims of the stead.t rie in the&"
price of daily commodities.
