A military officer writes in one OF
the German papers on the interesting

70 INCREASE LEASE PRICES.

There is move on foot to increase
the price of lease Of schol sections
in Oklahoma. The minimum price
will be s2s a quarter, and the maxi
mum $S5, which is an average increase
of $40 qua r. over present rates.
The lands will be leased for a period
of three years. Only 100 acres of ag-
ricui,ural land can be leased by one
person. The thoughts and experience
Of the increase would be bearable if
the money really went TO the schools,
but when two-thirds of the money is
grated in the handling 1t is enough
to make a school land lessee swear.
