the subject of Miss Zella Wigent's address before the general session of the farmers' institute Tuesday morning, in the Coliseum, continuing the thought of Mrs. Se well's speech of the previous evening." "All the family must co-operate in helping the mother if her work is really to be lessened," said Miss Wigent; "Most families thoughtlessly make much unnecessary work for the housewife, the father by tracking in mud, an example often followed by his sons, and children by stringing toys around, and leaving for mother to pick up, or by calling upon her to find for them articles of clothing (the husband will do this, too), which they have

Tells of Letters. Referring to the apparently unimportant matter of cleaning the shoes before coming into the house. Miss Wigent told of a thousand letters which had been sent to women in various parts of the country, asking them what things could be done to lighten their work. "One-half of the replies," said Miss Wigent, "suggested 'cleaning the mud from the shoes.' "The most important part of the house," said the speaker, "is the

After two reels on "Canning' and "Home Conveniences" had beea shown Miss Wigent talked on "Keeping Well" and after an intermission for music demonstrated the lunch, with the aid of eight rural school girls, supervised by one of the domestic science teachers.A potato soup was prepared and served hot.

Pressure Cooker Tuesday afternoon Miss Wigent again gave a demonstration, this time of a pressure cooker, which will cook food in a fraction of the time otherwise necessary, and the canning machine, which will seal cans perfectly and also will cut them and prepare them to be used again until the third time. She also gave a lecture on "Milk, Nature's Perfect Food." pointing out its great and usually unappreciated food value, equalling many other far more costly foods, such as beefsteak. Its value for growing children was especially emphasized, and various methods of preparing foods containing it, so as to avoid monotony, were explainedThere is manifest an eager anticipation of the evening lecture by Prof. Ho'den on "Communities Are Made of Folks, Not of Farms, Houses and Factories."

The Farm and Farmer

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN

By WILLIAM Ft. SANBORN That Indiana banks, trust companies and other money loaning interest should oppose such legislation as house bill No. 3S, recently introduced at Indianapolis, is not at all surprising. This bill is fathered by representatives Newman, Barker, Bedgood and Claude Smith. We confess to being unable to sense the present need for such legislation, nor do we know the argument of the farmers of this bill, other than that the state, counties and municipalities dividing said tax, could use the money. That any important class or number

I of our citizens are demanding such

legislation is not now apparent. The Enacting Clause Section 2 "A mortgage on land, deed of trust, contract or other obligation whereby land or real property is made security for the payment of a debt, shall be assessed and taxed to the owner of said security and debt in

the county, city or township affected i

by said security, where the same is situated. The taxes so assessed and levied on such security and debt shall

I the bush. It is a revenue measure, j

pure ana simple. It will provide increased Income, should it become a . law, and will add another item to our i list of taxables. And it should be a most important source of revenue, but I

Borrowers N.ot Benefitted j Interest rates are high, are holding firm and the pressure for loans is ! likely to continue over the entire re-j adjustment period. Millions in new; securities, bearing 72 and 8 per cent.! were issued in January, many of these i to run from 10 to 25 years. There is j no "cheap money" obtainable any-1 where, nor can it be told when there will be. although it is hoped that the ! peak in interest charges has been : reached. However this may turn out, j we may be assured that the proposed , tax on property loans will not benefit borrowers. It will not reduce the cost ', of money, nor make loans more easily j

obtainable. It does not appear that the farmers of the state have favored such a measure, nor can it be seen that any farmer who has. or who may borrow

under a mortage, will be in any manner benefitted by its becoming a law. "Sot can it be supposed that borrowers on city homes or business realty will fare any. better than the fanner. As an evidence of how the banking interests look at this matter, we quote the following letter: "At a meeting of Indiana bankers held at Indianapolis Jan. 21, it was the consensus of opinion that the economic effect of this bill would be disastrous to our state. A conclusion may be reached as to the bill's effect from the fact that a' number of th3 larger Insurance companies have expressed their intention to withdraw from the Indiana loan field if the bill is enacted. "We were Instructed to bring all possible pressure to bear on your legislators, at once."
