RENTING IN IOWA.

"F. r. Conway of the Brooklyn, Iowa. Chron-
icle. a grand good fellow, after having been
hunting the better country" for eighteen
months comes back to his old home and says:
Take Iowa one year with another, and no state
can compare with it for crops, health. wealth.
and prosperfty."-Iowa State Register.
o. F. Cain. recently of Town. 4, Range 30,
said, II farmed near Brooklyn, Iowa, nineteen
years and for fine healthful climate and rich
soil Red Willow county surpasses that coun-
try" Mr.. Conway evidently did not visit this
county.
I'm Scott county, Iowa, a renter or tenant
has been on q farm twenty-six years. There
are $50 acres in the farm, and the owner gets
over n thousand dollars a year ~rent."-IOwa
State Register.
That explains why there are so many renters
in Iowa. Rents are so high that it takes so
much to pay the land lord there is not enough
left for the renter to get away on. If the
owner gets over a thousand dollars a year for
twenty-six years, the renter on a two thirds
basis of renting should have had over two
thousand dollars per year. Now estimating
one half for exper ses, it would leave for the
twenty-six years over twentysix thousand
dollars for the renter. Does Father Garrison"
wish to convey the idea that the renter has q
bank account of over twenty-six thousand dol
lars, and still renting? 1t is evident that il the
renter had made $500 a year he would have
owned a farm of his own. We farmed in lows
twenty-eight years and never knew or heard
of a case where a renter paid "Over Il 81 600 a
year." for the use of 800 acres" and had that
much for his years labor. But we heard of an
instance where the renter took 100 acres at $500
per acre, cash rent. He owned two fine span
of mules. and it took all the crop aud one span
of the mules to pay the rent one year.

Commander. Capt. Henry, Of Fsirmont, and
the State President, Mrs. Manchester, of

A very inviting table was spread with a

justice was done heartily. In the manage

was aware of a very strong and not at all

ascertain the cause. 1t followed her home

to a departed darkey. Then she began to
think that the trouble lay in herself and she
gave herself a thorough bath with scented
