INDIAN LAND SCHEME
THAT SAVES GOOD MONEY
CONGRESSIONAL LAND THAT WAS

AGED BY THE TOWN

Indianapolis, Sept. 2.-If Indiana had
not sold nearly all of it's congressional
township lands in the early history of
the State, lndianians would have had
to pay little or nothing for the mainte.
nance OF their public schools.
This Is shown to be fact In Wander
burg County, where four schools are
supported in a thriving condition by
the income Of Congressional township
land that yet remains unsold.
In 1916 Congress passed an Act Civ.

DIANA" this land to be used for the
support Of the public schools. Most of
the land thus granted was sold early
In the history OF the State, at an av.
erage price Of s1.25 an acre. The land
could be sold on the petition OF any
five voters Of a Congressional town.

The land In Township South, Range
II West, In Vanderburg County, was
never sold, as no five residents ever
petitioned for the sale The tract now
consists OF 3O9 acres, the rest OF the
section lying In the river. The land is
now divided into four tracts of about
seventy.iive acres each. Each tract

ings.
By law the management OF these
farms Is vested in the township trus,
tee, who rents them each year to the
highest bidder. The combined rent OF
the four farms row amounts to more
than $4,000 a year. which is sufficient
to pay all the expenses Of the -four
schools maintained by the township
giving each school nine months term
1t is estimated that the land is nov
worth about $4,000.
Above the expense the fund Is accu

income from this source is sufficient

London, Sept. 26.-The text of the
new agreement between Great Britain

tary, and Baron Hayashi, the Japan.
csc ambassador to Great Britain, on

Effective Safeguard.
Baron Hayashi, who was interview.
ed after the publication of the agree.
ment, said:
THE new treaty forms an effective
safeguard against the renewal of dis.
turbances In the Far East. That Is its
object. We cannot say that a perma.
nent peace has been secured-that Is
too much to be sure of-but we can
aver that tranquility has been assured
for long time to come. This applies
not only to Great Britain and Japan.
but also to all powers having political
or commercial interests In that part OF
the world; in fact. to all who have been
interested in maintaining the status
quo"
Sir Charles Dixie took the position
that the new treaty makes no changes
in the pre-existing status quo, but said
II was an inevitable consequence of
the new conditions In the Far East
and 1t was only stronger guarantee
for the maintenance Of peace than the
previous alliance. He argued that Ru'.
sia never really was a menace to the
Indian frontier, but merely played on
the susceptibilities of Great Britain.
With regard to Persia, Sir Charles did
not believe that Russia would ever risk
a quarrel with India. ''In reality" said
he, "the countries most affected are
France and Germany, because to both
