al purposes" The evils of this state
OF affairs are manifest. Not only are
many persons thus deprived of the
employment which otherwise Ghey
you'd be enjoying, but this swelling Of
the ranks of the unemployed, some of
whom remain in the country and some
go to the cities, tends to dimilish
wages, and, so far as farm products
are concerned, to increase prices.
Poverty, taxation, agriculture, uIem-
ployment. housing, the whole economy
OF the social system, are affected by
The land problem,
The resulting high price of lani in
Great Britain, the unused land watch
has been practically untaxed and the
burden upon all industry have caused
serious consideration of the problem.
That something should be done is
asserted by statesmen as far separat-
! ed In political beliefs as Mr.. Balfour
and Mr.. Lloyd-George.
Very "Soft" for Noble Duke.
The unnecessary burden which falls
upon industry by landlordism in the
form of mining royalties is another
! evil result. Mr.. Lloyd-George, the Lib
eral chancellor, estimated it at s40,-
100000 a year. The average amount
OF royalty on iron ore is 60 cents a
ton on every ton brought to the surf.

to landlords for mining royalties in

fourteen years ago sank the mine at
an expense of s., 100000, and, although
as yet no coal has been taken out, the

AS in agriculture and In mining, so

urious muff for afternoon tea or re-
ception or other social event.
The street suit shown here has q

with wide girdle of the material in the

fur on the collar.
The sleeves are separate and sewed
in, much like so many models In which
the pretty kimono sleeve is featured.
The beautifully adjusted rolling col
lar and the set-in sleeve are worthy of
special mention in this costume. Es-
pecially the slender woman should
appreciate how well the reyers and
collar OF the coat, the full soft vest
and the wide girdle amplify and add
graciousness to a figure inclined to
meagerness.

crown, and is made of black velvet.
The plume in this instance repeats the
color of the gown, thereby departing
from the rule of all-black, which would
have been quite as effective with the
costume.
While the popularity Of the all-black
hat makes concourse of fashionable
women look somewhat somber. there
was never any millinery SO generally
useful. Some women have several diff
ferent trimmings. which they put on
and off the shape at pleasure. This
provides variety, but the allblack hat
is appropriately worn with any cos
tune.

( 100000 Leave Farms In Decade.
1 What is the effect of this concen.
tration OF land in the hands Of the
few?
Land is the mother and labor the
father Of wealth." distinguished
economist has written. Land concen-
trated in few hands increases the
problem OF poverty, which Mr.. Horace
B. Samuel defines as ''the economic
discomfort occasioned to vast masses
of the population by the unequal dis
tribution of wealth." The use of the
land is necessary for economic produc-
tjon, whether agricultural or indus
trial, and for housing, whether in city
or country. The whole trend Of civili-
cation just now is away from agricuf-
ture and toward industrialism. In
England this tendency Is most marked.
Less than nine per cent. of the popu-
lation OF England are now engaged in
agriculture, 100000 having abandoned
the farm in the last ten years, as
many leaving the farm in a single
decade as the entire number OF farm
owners in the state Of Missouri. In
the United States one person in three
is engaged in agriculture in some
form; in all Great Britain and Ireland
only one In ten Is so engaged, and the
proportion Is growing rapidly less.
The general tendency Of the situation,
to quote the significant and measured
words OF Mr.. Asquith, the British
prime minister, is "a process of deple
ton at one end and congestion at the
other, By which every year fresh ad-
ditions of recruits are being made to
the ranks Of the casual and unem-
ployed."
Land Hosslng spawns Great Evils.

tent 1T is notorious" said city OF
London barrister, that large areas OF
land which might be with advantage
farmed by desirable tenants willing to
pay a fair market rent are kept back
by owners. who either sit on the prop
erty in the hope Of being eventually
able to hatch higher price, or pre-
serve it for the purpose OF game OF
ornament for reasons OF social pres
tige or sheer sporting instinct. The
extent OF this retention of land is con
clusively evidenced by the numerous
applications that now in for every
