that the latter paid the renting agents portion

the price which was named TO Colonel woodruff

SEEKING CLOSER RELATIONS AGAINST THE
PAN-sLAvONIC STATES.
AbbazIa. Austria. May 13.-King Charles Of Ru-
mania and King George OF Greece met here this
afternoon on board the Greek warship Psara.
The object OF the meeting of King Charles and
King George In Austrian waters, as officially set
forth in Athens May l, IS to draw Rumania and
Greece into closer friendship. UnoAicially various
reasons are ascribed TO this meeting, and notable
among them is the need for the two non-Savonc
Balkan States. Rumania and Greece. to come to an
understanding in opposition to the pan-Slavonic
States OF Servia and Bulgaria on the Macedonian
and other questions
King Charles and King George have hitherto
never met. The meeting which had been arranged
take place In 1925 failed because OF the death OF
Queen Louise or Denmark
Although the Greek and Rumanian press both In

DAYS meeting. II is probable that nothing more
definite will result than exchange OF views and
nEthening Of the friendly relations existing
to-day between the two countries.

THE EVOLUTION OF !. FROG poxn

ihE EFoLUItON OF A FROG POND
A friend of ours thirty years ago
came into possession of half section
of wet land in the central west. The
soil was good, but all the land was
too wet for the purposes of cultivation
lie tried to sell it, but could not. II
lay for years seeking a purchaser at
$40 per acre when other and drier
lands in the locality were selling for
SD and $50 per acre. Finally 1t be-
: came sort of common or herdinc
ground, and the stock pounded tho
fibrous turf into solidity, and here and
there q little patch of blue grass be-
gan to come in. The more it was pas
tured the drier it became, and in the
course Of years the native grasses were
all driven out by white clover and blue
grass. About this time people began
to want to buy this land, but our friend
said nay-that he had held it for so
long he would hold it longer. Today.
ten years later, it has been converted
into two of the best farms in the west
and would bring, If placed upon the
market, $50 per acre quick. Now, this
change was brought about without any
artificial drainage save such as could
be done by properly blowing the fields.
Lands of this character are as rich and
fertile as the land in the Nile valley.
