 dollars. A man wishing to buy a piece
 of land agrees to give, for instance
 5000 bushels for 1t. He agrees also to
 SOW a given number of acres of the
 land purchased in wheat and deliver
 one-half of the crop to the seller. No account of the value of the wheat Is
 taken. No interest is charged, the sell
 CT simply being sure of half of the wheat each year. If wheat is high and
 the yield good he makes fine thing;
 If 1t is failure and low prices prevail he may be out of pocket. Sometimes
 the land is paid for in one season; sometimes it may take a decade to get
 the land clear. Thousands of acres have been sold under this system dur

If he is prosperous, to aid in bear ing the burdens of others, as others have aided him.
 Tn the rural districts of France every pupil, boy or girl, takes to school in the morning handful of vegeta bles and puts them in a large pan of water. They are washed by one of the older pupils, who take turns at performing this duty. Then the vegetables are placed in a kettle with water and a piece of pork and are cooked while the lessons are going on. At 11:30 o'clock each member of the cooperative asso- clation has a bowl of hot soup. TO cover the cost of fuel and meat those pupils who can afford it pay from 2 to sous month. In most of the cities Of France the pupils in the public schools are now furnished with their monday meals at "school canteens." maintained either by the municipality or by private generosity.
