Not a Real Estate Man.

Marion Register: A man who
thought he was in the real estate
business, sued another man for a
commission on a land deal. The de-
fendant proved that the plaintiff new
er carried an advertisement in the
local papers as real estate man,
nor had any printed cards or letter
heads or maintained an Office. The
jury took the view that a man who
did not advertise was not a real es-
tate man and found for the defen-
dant.

If you would just stop to think
about il Iowa is quite the greatest
piece of country in all the world, says
the Manson Democrat. 1t is so great
in so many things that the people
have gotten used to it and do not pay
much attention to it any more. In
1912 Iowa had the greatest motor
tractor factory in the world, the
greatest steel car factory in the
world, the greatest power plant in
the world, the greatest calendar fac
tory in the world, the greatest maca-
roni plant in the world, the greatest
cereal mill in the world, the greatest
brick and tile center in the United
States, the greatest silo center in the
world, the greatest sash and door
plant in the world, the greatest steel
furnace factory in the world, the
greatest stump puller factory in the
world, and the greatest locomotive
west of Chicago.

There is no trouble about the mat
inee hat in Turkey, and in that hap
py country the cry: 'Sit down,
please!" is never heard from the
back rows In a theatre. AS a mat
ter of fact, no one sits down at the
play at ALL The first three rows of
the audience lie in a reclining posi-
tion; the next three rows kneel, and
remain in that attitude throughout
the piece; everyone else stands up.
Another quaint point about the
theatre in Turkey is that a notice ap-
pears on the walls of the building
to the effect that 1t is strictly for
hidden to laugh, for it is a tragedy
that is being performed.

During the decade 1900-10 the
white population of the United
states increased about % per cent
and the negro about IL per cent.
This difference is partly due, howev-
er. to the direct or indirect effect of
immigration of whites, in the alb
sence of which the whites would have
increased about per cent. The In
dians increased about II per cent,
the Chinese decreased in number.
while the Japanese nearly trebled.
