The lowest grade of land in use being
presumed abundant and only partially ap-
propriated, is suppo sed to yield no rent. If
it were all owned by various persons com
peting with each other for tenants, and
there were not enough tcuants to go around,
no one owner could obtain "A rent that would
be more than nominal, so long as others Of
fering equal advantages could get no ten

can be collected in a community depends
on the number of degrees Of productiveness

cultivation.
For example. when production did not
extend below the second grade. the rent
on the first was two bushels per acre.
When the third grade was reached. rent

acre. Finally, when the fourth grade was
reached rent became as above stated.

DISTRICT SOLDIER BOYS
One Weeks News and Gossip
Around Local Armories.

The victorious riflemen are home from
Sea Girt. They arrived Monday night
and were given warm welcome by the
Guard and citizens of the city.
Lieut. Col N. Emmett Urell. of the
Second Regiment, was in command Of
the escort. The First and Fifth battal-
ions were ordered out to perform this
duty, the order having been issued by
Adjt. Gen. Mosher Saturday. Half a
dozen other companies also volunteered
to help receive the riflenien, so the re-

The Hilton trophy was carried in a wagU.
and under the glare of a strong calcium

THREE GROyED GUNS.
The team, though, brought back from Sea
Girt something else beside the Hilton
trophy, and that was the news that here
after all matches held under the auspices OF
rhc New jersey Rifle Association would be
shot with the ordinary guns issued by the
government. This will insure that all teams
hereafter are to be placed on the same foot
ing.
ITr,,, hn al Of hn 81 Ri. f.,nf At
Sea Girt all the team captains were called
TO meet the officials Of the association.
AT this meeting the question OF the guns
used by the various teams was brought up
IL was generally conceded that the contest
for the various trophies had degenerated
into a scramble for the best guns that could
DE made, and the best ANN unition that
could be procured. The Massachusetts,
men were there with a specially made
rifle. and the Georgia men had ANN unition
that was not regulation. Allthese matters
were freely discussed.
Gen. Spencer OF the association offered
TO send to the armory at Trenton and have
serenity five new rifles brought down and
all the necessary ammunition Then, he
each team could stand on an
equality. But the objection was made that
teams had been shooting with the same
guns and same ammunition before that they
carried now, ana t1aL II would be unwise
TO change on the eve OF the contest. This
view was generally agreed to and 1t was
decided that the next match should be
shot with the ordinary gun issued by the
gov eminent.
ON the question OF ammunition, though.
here was a split. None o the team captains
would listen 10 the proposition to shoot with

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.

1t will be a very hard thing to build
up an interest in rifle practice this fall
As stated In this column last Sunday, there
is q widespread feeling among the Guard
men that no matter what kind of shooting
be does he will fail OF recognition when
il comes to choosing a team for Sea Girt
From many sources there has come to The
Times congrat ulations on the stand it
took on that occasion. More than one
guardsman has emphasized the statement
of dissatisfaction by plain charges hiatt
such and such things were SO. But, as
stated before, the editor of this column
thinks the men misunderstood the situ-
alton.
They seem to think, thoIgh that they
would stand some chance il the competition
for the Sea Girt team was a competition
II the qualifications were plainly stated they
think they woull know who should enter.
Then. il il were understood that the win
ners of the competition. provided they come
within the qualifications. were to make up
the team. there would be a sudden growth
of interest in rifle shooting. The team might
not win the Hltor trophy every year, but the
average os the Guard would be increased
There is some talk of having the prize
winning companies of the Guard give
dress parade some time during the winter.
There are a number of people who think it
would make a beautiful sight to see these
companies, each in its distinctive uni
form, ont on dress parade. In the list would
be included the Mortons, Fenciblcs, Cor
coran Cadets, Emmet Guard aud Rifles.
Each Command has a full dress uniform
OF it's own and these are to be worn
1t would make great sight.

An Inconsistent Newspaper

The vigorous editorial in the Sunday
Times on Sunday observance is worth
reading and preserving as an example of
human inconsistency. Here Is a concern
which. to larger extent than any other in
this city, street cars and railroads except
ed, breaks the Puritan Sunday. Not q
minute passes from the time the cloc k
strikes II Saturday night until the corre-
spending period Monday that unnecessary
work is rot done by the direction of the
Times Mirror company. I say unnecessary
work, because it is possible to conceive of
life in comparative comfort without Sum
day, or for that matter a Monday Times
either.
Yet the Times editor. who works his
force every minute possible during the
american Sabbath" wants a law to keep
other people from earning their bread on
that day.
And this paper, which is under the con-
troll of the past grand master of cranks,
talks about objection to purely religious
legislation as solely tho work of cranks.
BY all means pass a Sunday law, but stop
every wheel in the Times-Mirror office, in
Guiding those in the editors head, on the
first day of the week. The paternal legis-
lation asked for will not be without good
results if the vulgar slush and syndicate
trash printed by the Times Sunday and
Monday is promptly suppressed.

THE POLITE WORLD

Among the many delightful affairs of
the winter none were more charmingly ar
ranged than the afternoon given yesterday
by Mrs. E. {. Bichowsky at her picturesque
Misses Tallant. For diversity of amuse-
ment and thoroughly informal and de-
lightful time the entertainment will long
be remembered by the guests as an affair
of unusual pleasure. The guests came and
went at pleasure from the prettily adorned
rooms to The spacious lawn that surrounds
the house. Games of all kinds were ell
joyed. Among these was the running game,
which was as pretty in effect as it was en-.
tertaining. The fieetest runners were
awarded prizes. The first was a pretty
silver flower-holder, the second a picture
done ON porcelain, and the BOBBY silver
mounted emery.
The art loan exhibit evoked a great deal
OF thought as we'll as fun, different unique
objects on wall and table represented cele.
brated paintings, and pencil and paper
we're kept busy in putting down correct
guesses. The first prize for this was
handsome Venetian glass puff box, the
second fancy box of paper. The drawing
rooms were brilliant with California pop
pies that were arranged with artistic grace
in bowls. and we're in evidence in all parts
of the room; softening the bright hue was
smilax that swung from corners of the
apartment and framed the door ways.
in the two dining rooms where dainty
viands were served pink was the color
scheme chosen. Pink carnations were
scattered over the small tables in one room
and in the other the guests were seated at
one long table. Pink ribbons reached from
the chandelier to the four corners of the
table and terminated in large French bows,
pink carnations and peach blossoms were
the fragrant blossoms used. Daylight was
excluded and soft shaded lamps accen.
tuated the charming effect. Pleasing adj
juncts to the whole were gay colored paper
caps that hung from the back of the chairs,
and when donned by the fair guests the ef-
feet was wondrously pretty. Decorated
cards at each place were numbered, some
corresponding with those holding prizes.
Three bore donkeys' heads that drew sill
yer stickpin of enamel set with pearls,
a study in water colors, and silver PEN
holder. Number 13 drew gold button
hook, and a box of bonbons fell to the lot
of the one wearing the dunce's cap. The
afternoon was full of delightful surprises
from beginning to end.
There was a reading by Miss Shepherd
of Fall River that was most enjoyable. The

the verbiage with which it is associated in
the ordinary blanket sheet. 1t is no longer
necessary to wade through columns of abb
solutely unnecessary detail in order to
learn what is going on about one. Those
who appreciate the presentation of news
in condensed and intelligent form. freed
from the cumbersome methods of rapid
ly vanishing past, and distinctively up to
date in its scope, should subscribe for
The HERALD.

found the worlds happenings presented in
such concise and condensed form that it
is a pleasure and not pain to peruse
them. In The HERALD you will CLEAN all

the price and the quality of its contents
Why pay nearly twice the amount for an
inferior journal? On and after April 1st
The HERALD will cost but so cents per
month, in Los Angeles and Southern Cali
