KIDDO CALENDAR IN SUNDAY PAPER
The North American Offers Most
Attractive Supplement
to Readers

The North American will issue with
its edition for Sunday, December 26, a
most attractive calender for 1910, an
appropriate supplement for the season.
The calendar is reproduced by the
photogravure process, the most artistic
known to modern printing. The GEN.
trail figure of the design is "Kaptain
Kiddo," the youngster that has been
made so popular a feature of the comic
section of The North American. This
special portrait of the "Kaptain" is by
Grace G.. Wiederseim, his regular de-
~lineator. His New Years address to
the public has been penned for him by
Margaret e.. Hays, who writes his
terrible tales every Sunday.
Those who are not North American
readers, and who want the most at
tractive calendar of the season, should
order Sundays North American.

The Way Real Estate Is Divided Up In
Portugal.

The Way Real Estate Is Divided Up In
Portugal.
The Portuguese are an extremely
conservative people. Every IA fol-
lows rigidly the methods employed by
his father and ~forefathers. In very
many parts of the country the old
wooden plows are still used.
When a man dies, instead Of n Of
the heirs taking the whole property
and paying the remaining heirs for
their parts the whole property is d.
vided into as many parts as there are
heirs. More than this, each separate
part of the property is thus divided.
Thus, II the property consists of ten
acres of pasture land, eighty of vine
yard and ten of grain land and there
are ten heirs, each heir will receive
one acre each of grain and pasture land
and eight acres of vineyard. This proc
ess has been going or for a very long
time, so that now in the most fertile
part of Portugal the land is divided
into incredibly small portions.
The immediate result of this, accord
ing to the United States consular re-
ports, is that the product Of the land
is barely sufficient at best to sustain
It's owners. South of the river Tagus,
on the other hand. there are enormous
tracts of excellent land lying unused.
but it has been found impossible to in
duce the farmers of the north to move
into this region and take up large hold
