Millington Drake, an American
youth, has achieved distinguishing
success at Elton, the school of British
aristocracy. after four years spent In
the institution. In that brief time he
has won for himself two champion

PUBLIC LANDS IN PANAMA.
AlsAo..A No survey n.. Been Mad

Alth00gh No Survey Has Been Made,
Tracts Are Being Granted.
The leasing of public lands in the
ANAL zcne will not be encouraged III
III after a laad survey has been com
pleted. This survey will follow the
triangulation work now in progress
It will establish definitely the bound
aries OF all lands to which title Is held
by private persons and will furnish
points of reference for the delimita
ton Of tracts leased under the new
land law.
No survey of the public lands OF
Panama will be attempted In the neat
future, because the expense of such an
undertaking would be quite out Of pro
portion to the present usefulness of the
results. Notwithstanding this the LAND
will be granted. After a%ppliation has
been made for the tract desired, and 8
survey has beer completed by a Gov
ernment surveyor, notice will be post
ed In public places and published II
the official gazette for thirty days. Il
at the end OF that period no n has
put In a counter claim the land will
be considered public land and title
will be given to the applicant.
1t is said by Don Garcia, Commits
sioner Of Public Lands. a Panama let
ter to the New Orleans Picayune says
that the title thus given will supplant
all others. and having been registered
will be final. II some person with a
prior title appears later he will have
no cause for action, because the Gov
eminent grant is the act OF the sover
eign and cannot be invalidated, ex
cept by the sovereign. From this bald
statement 1t would appear that in.
Justice might be done by mistakins
tracts to which title has been given
for public lands. But the anama at.
titude on this question is highly intel.
ltgent. for the Government considers
as public land not only the lands
that have not been granted to private
persons. but also all ~unoccupied lands.
In other words If Spain or Columbia
years ago granted a tract to Senior A
and his heirs, and Senior A has nei-
Their occupied nor fenced it. nor in
other way publicly protested his right
70 1t. then he must be on his guard.
lest the Government grant his land
To some other person. The Govern.
ment warns him in the official gazette,
and II he does not heed the warning
his title will be vested in another.
The procedure for taking out public
land In Panama is rather a tiresome
me-. and the easy-going ways of the
oficials will irritate an American con-
%siderably. But 1t should be remem.
bered that the public land has been
unoccupied some centuries, and there
b no apparent reason why any one
should be In a hurry about perfecting
= title now. 1t might be cheaper in
the long run to employ a lawyer. And
yet there is for haste. because
hundreds of thousands of acres of Pan
mi public lands have been granted

Did you ever give a party and find
It hard to amuse the boys and girls
ifter they arrived? 1t is not a pleas
ant experience, and it is always well
to know of a game that will make

One that children Of any 6 will
enjoy and which takes little prepare
ton is the Joneses' Vacation. One Of
the girls Is selected as Mrs. Jones
and one Of the boys as Mr.. Jones.
You have ready a suitcase and at a
given signal Mr.. and Mrs. Jones must
unlock 1t and put on the things they
find inside. 1t is a good idea to have
4 hat, a long coat, a veil, scarf, gloves
and pocketbook for Mrs. Jones and a
coat, hat, collar "a large one), neck
tie and gloves for Mr.. Jones. They
must dress in these as quickly as pos
sible, for some one is timing them.
and then they must lock the suit case
and rush off with it to the train. That
must be the farthest point you can
select-usually the front door. After
they have hit the front door a good.
hard thump they must rush back
again, take off the things and pack
them again. And If they don't pack
carefully they will find themselves in
trouble, for they must lock and strap
the suit ase again. Now it Is the
turn OF another couple to be Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones, and when they have all
tried the couple who made the trip
in the shortest time are judged the
winners.
1t Is well to use coats and hats
that you do not need to treat care
fully, for naturally they are apt to
get rumpled in the excitement of the
game. Don't forget the collar, in
which O should put a large stud. for

one in a hurry struggle with a collar

FARMING IN VIRGINIA.
Farmers Cease TO he "Land Poor" BY
Getting Only small Farms.

Farmers Cease TO he "Land Poor BY
Getting Only smnlI Farms.
Virginia farmers are ceasing to be
land poor and are becoming crop rlch.
They are seeing the fallacy Of the old
agricultural order, which bid man to
scrape the surface of many acres on
broomsedge farms and give little at
tention to a dozen fields. They are
discovering hat the intensive cultiva-
ton Of a score Of acres or so is more
profitable than the extensive neglect
Of a thousand. They are putting into
the bank profits which formerly were
charged to the other side OF the ledger
as taxes.
This revolution, pointed out by the
Times-Dispatch some weeks ago, in
citing the increase in the number OF
small farms, has likewise attracted
the attention OF the esteemed Virginia
Citizen. In It's last issue that newspa-
per points out how a section Of Prince
William has been transformed by a
division into small farms. A colony
of Dunkards from the valley. says the
Citizen. settled around Manassas and
bought many acres Of rundown, neg
lected farm lands. They divided them
into small tracts and applied to them
the best principles Of intensive agri-
culture. AS a result. "worn-out" lands
are to-day yielding magnificent crops,
a wilderness has been reclaimed and
farm values have been trebled.
This lesson can not be 100 strongly
impressed on our farmers. Virginia
lands to-day. after almost three hun
dred years of cultivation, will yield
as bountiful crops as virgin soil, II
only they are cultivated closely and
skillfully. II they are neglected, and
II they are farmed on a large scale by
insufficient labor, they can not be ex-
pected to afford more than a bare liv-
ing for unhappy owners.
Examples of the latter system are
seen everywhere. in dilapidated farm
houses. lean stock and barren fields.
Examples Of the other sort can be seen
in other places than the Dunkard dis
trict, so we'll described by the Virginia
Citizen. Some years ago-to cite a
single instance Scotch immigrant
bought t~wenty-four acres of Virginia
farm land, of which eight acres were
unusable. On a pillow area of less than
twenty acres, this man raised a years
crop that brought him $1,000. His ex-
penses and the interest on his invest
ment did not amount to more than
$3.50, leaving him a net profit OF SAT
per acre. How many farmers are there
in the State to-day. farming under the
old system, who can equal this return?
Yet the same york will always and
everywhere bring the same results
