Harvests of 100000, 900.

Crops this year will add some 3d.
000,C00,O00 to the wealth of the nation
This sum approXimates the largest
total ever realized for products of the
soil Corn, although short some 600,-
100000 bushels compared with the
yield last year, is worth $200,000,00
more than the bumper crop of 1919.
Wheat too, has larger money value
than ever before. The same is true OF
cotton, despite the reduced yield in
the Southeast due to lack of moisture.
These estimates are based on sta
tistics of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, and as that department is noted
for conservatism in estimating yields,
it is not impossible that when final re-
turns are in the total value of crops
will be upward Of $10,000,000,000

Automatic Professor.

The automatic professor is me-
chanical means Of teaching language
which has just been introduced and
which promises to become a favorite
because of the ease and convenience
with which it enables one to acquire
language. The device consists of a
combination OF the monograph with
a piece of mechanism which operates
reel on which are printed words
and sentences so that the student is
enabled to see the word at the same
time that he hears it. The phone.
graph alone has already been utilized
for the teaching of language with
some success, but the efficacy of the
new combination Is much greater and
the student acquires greater famil-
iarity with the language. both written
and spoken. in less time. 1t is also
applicable to elementary instruction
in music.

RENT of FIRST IMPORTANCE
Decision of Massachusetts, Judge May
Have Created Decision That
Will Be Far-Reaching.

When landlord lets an apartment
with heat, how many degrees of Fab
renheit is he supposed to furnish?
May the tenant leave the windows
open to admit fresh air. and then com
plain because the apartment is not
warm enough? If neither the janitor
nor the landlady heeds his complaints
may the tenant justly refuse to pay
rent? Or is he liable for the full
amount until the expiration Of the
lease?
A Judge in the Massachusetts SUI.
perior court threw some light on these
seasonable questions the other day by
ruling against the tenant. remarks the
Boston Globe. The landlord in the
case appears to have agreed orally to
put in new and larger radiators and
keep the apartment nice and warm.
but the promise was not in writing,
and so was not valid. The tenant sat
at his desk III his study. wearing q fur
coat and with hot-water bottle at his
feet. When he demonstrated the land,
lord said something TO the effect that
if the tenant would shut the windows
the apartment would be warm enough
1t appears from this case that while
man may elect either to freeze or to
breathe impure air, he must pay his
rent.

First Government Oraan.

The first foreshadowing of a gov
eminent organ arose in Venice, in
1856, when the NotiZie Scritte were is
sued by the order of the senate. They
were in manuscript, and, like the Ro-
man Acta Diurna. were posted in pub
lie places.
The right OF perusal was not free,
and here comes the beginning OF jour.

Those who wished to read the Notizie
had to pay a small coin, called a

OWNED BY INFAMOUS TRAITOR
Wisconsin Man Has Ink Well That

date back to Revolutionary war times.
The inkwell has been in the family
since the time of the conflict of the
American colonies against Great Brit

Mr.. Phillips came into possession
of the relic in 1864, 1t having been
handed down to him by his father,
and his father got it in turn from
his grandfather, who captured ii
among other things at a little log
cabin near West Point at about the
time Benedict Arnold was figuring on
selling that strategic point to the
British. but took French leave when
he learned that the Colonial soldiers
were after him.
This ink well it is stated by Mr..
Phillips, is the one that furnished the
ink for the document Arnold signed
giving the British possession of West
Point, and was found among other of
leave taking of the place where the
documents were signed and sealed.
1t is supposed to have been made in
England and brought to this country.
1t is an old affair-this can be seen
from the fact that 1t Is made for

Community Cooperation


Already the great manufacturing
industries of the country are concen-
trated in few of our large cities.
This has meant congestion of popu-
lation, slums, tenements and sweat
shops. At this very time we have
statesmen, educators, and phian-
thropists who are leading the move
ment to stop the flow of population
to the cities and to improve the con-
ditions of those who are there now.
On the other hand there are great
combinations of capital that are striv-
ing to concentrate the merchandising
of the country into few of the larger
cities. Millions were already thus in
vested before the people realized the
gravity of this new peril. When you
destroy the merchant in the smalled
towns and cities of our country you
destroy that community life and COM
munity spirit which has done more
than any one thing to make America
great.
Here in the Southwest farming is
the corner stone of our prosperity.
