Instead of dealing with the nation’s ills, the causes and the remedies in a comprehensive and enlightening way, the message treats only of symptoms and of these in a most perfunctory man ner. It is a standpat, reactionary message, didatically asserting that he favors and what he opposes wit’.’ i <fut supporting either the positive | or negative measure with any line ' of r<vucn’mg or argument, or j '. tijuedial suggestion. ‘Neither in its reference to nn-1 tional or international affairs is ‘ there a human note in the mes 1 i sage.” BAINS RENDER RIDING RISKY !

TOFWSISW $182,C00,C00 Already Loaned To Planters During 1923, Convention Is Told . NEW YORK, Dee. 7.--“ The in-1 creasing amount being loaned to i American agriculture by the life' insurance companies shows the changing economic conditions in this country,” said Vice-f resident Lee A. Phillips of the Pacific Mu tual Life Insurance company, of Los Angeles, at the 17th’ annual convention of ’the association of Life Presidents here today. “These conditions are tend- ing steadily to increase the amount of capital required for the average farm and the proportion of that capital which must be found by borrowing on mortgage. It is a matter of cold, hard fact that a farm mortgage is, in these days, a necessity for the young farmer and a support, without which he can hardly succeed. “A net increase of more than $182*,000,000 during the first ten months of 1923 in the life insur ance companies' holdings of farm mortgage loans shows the present trend of life insurance’s contri bution to the enlarging needs of the agriculture sections of the country. The net increase of the life insurance companies’ holdings in this class of security during the entire year of 1922 was $147,000,- 000. Thus the companies have loaned far more to agriculture in ten months of this year than in all of 1922. A conservative estimate of the increase for November and December of this year will bring the total increase of the companies holdings for the year well beyond $200,000,000 —double their average annual increase in this class of se curity for the eight years ended with 1922. The total of farm mortgage loans held by 52 of the leading life insurance companies as of October 31, 1923, was $1,636,- 000,000, as compared with $647,- 000,000 at the end of 1914. “Life insurance funds consti tute the greatest single factor in financing the agriculture of the United States. For 50 years they have been an. important resource of the farmer seeking financial as sistance. Today we find most of the 280 life insurance companies in the United States sending a portion of their reserve funds to the agri cultural sections. The smaller companies naturally loan on farms in their home states and in contigu ous territory, while the larger com panies dispatch these funds to i many —sometimes complete- ■ ly across the country.” Among the instruments used by up-to-date dentists are scalers, ex plorers, pin vices, “revelation” burs chisels, and pluggers. j constant spur to one and all in the I big shbw, and he gets results. He I is one of the boys at all times ex ' eept in business. There he and 1 they must deliver the goods and your money’s worth and the per- ■ formers all realize it and try to make good. For twenty-five years they have been coming each year ’.vith bigger and better show, strong favorite in the season’s list.of en tertainers.
