LOW RATE, LONG-TIME
EUROPEAN CREDIT SYSTEM
"Tho standnrd length of time in Eu
rope for a long-time loan is 64 years.
For such n loan at the present time tho
rate is 4.85 per cent divided as fol
lows: interest, 4 per cent, administra
tion, .35 per cent and amortization
(payment on principal), .50 per cent.
This rate will pay both principal and
interest and will repay nil charges
due to the bank in 64 years. As this
will seem almost incredible to some
students, I will give a concrete illus
tration of how it works. It does not
depend upon compound interest, but
puon the fact that-though the rate of
yarly payment remains the same, the
charge for interest and administration
is constantly decreasing because they
are computed on the principal sum
which is constantly being repaid. So
therefore, tho proportion which is ap
plied toward the repayment of the
principal is always increasing.
"For illustration, if the debt were
$1,000 the debtor will pay $24.25 ev
ery six months. Of the first payment
$20 will go for interest, $1.75 be
longs to tho bank and $2.50 is applied
to the repayment of the principal.
When the debt is half discharged, how
ever, this distribution will be greatly
changed. The borrower will pay $24.
25 as usual; of this amount, only $10
will go for interest, 88 cents will be
retained by the bank, while $13.37
will be applied to the discharge of
the principal. The final payment will
'be almost wholly "devoted to the pay
ment of the principal as the first went
largely to the payment of interest.
In this way, one-half of 1 per cent will
repay the principal in 54 years, pro
vided a constant payment is maintain
ed on the principal for interest dur
ing the entire period.
The manifest advantages are so
great that we should press this matter
most vigorously." Congressman R.
W. Moss, in the World's Work.
FRESH AIR AND GOOD FOOD
MAKE SOLDIERS FAST
AND FURIOUS
Port Royal, S. C, July .31 Plain,
wholesome food, fresh air and regu
lar hours caused the recruits of the
Ninth Drill Company of the United
States Marine Corps, in training here
at the recruit depot, to gain almost
seven pounds to the man, after four
teen weeks of instruction. This com
pany of 56 men weighed, upon en
listment, 8,076 pounds and i at the end
of fourteen weeks training it increas
ed to 8,467 pounds, a gain of 391
pounds.
This same company had a chest ca
pacity, upon enlistment, of 11,909 cu
bic inches, and, after fourteen weeks,
had increased it to 13,295 cubic in
ches; a gain of 1,386 cubic inches.
The physical gain of the company
was 38 per cent.
So many devices supposed to save
time, labor and money don't do any
such thing.

Mogul 8-16 A Real Kerosene Tractor
It does as much and as good work as the best Gaso
line Tractors of its size, at about one-half the fuel cost
WHEN you buy a tractor, look beyond the price.
It is not the price a man pays for a tractor which
is of the most importance, but what its power costs.
A Mogul 8-i6, burning kerosene, in 5,000 hours of work
will more than pay its original price over thecost of the
same power produced by a gasoline tractor. Remem
ber, the Mogul 8-16 is a real kerosene tractor, planned
and built originally for using this cheap, plentiful fuel.
Price is of minor importance compared with Mogul
8-16 fuel saving.
It is our policy to sell the Mogul 8-16 at the lowest
possible price, always maintaining Mogul quality.
Some of the materials used in the building of this
tractor are almost unobtainable even at an advance in
price of from 50 to 100 per cent over the prices of a few
months ago. Still, we are able to sell the Mogul 8-16
at, the extremely low price of $725 cash f. o. b. Chicago.
