CASH OR SHARE RENT FARMS
Question Best Answered by Local
Conditions and CIreumstanees-
Systems Summarized.
fRv II IL uIRRARnN


Shall rent farm on shares or
shall pay cash.
This Is the question which many
young men. who are just striking out
for themselves. are asking.
The answer is determined quite
largely BY circumstances and by local
conditions. but there are a few gen
eral truths which apply In nearly all
cases. The advantages and disadvan.
tages OF the two systems are thus
summarized.
Cash rent gives TO the tenant great.
er Independence. for during the extent
Of his lease he is more nearly his own
master--the business OF running the
farm largely concerning no one but
himself Rising grain prices during
the recent years have also made the
system more profitable to the tenant
than share renting. Another adyan.
tage in paying cash for the use OF a
piece OF land Is the inducement Of.
cred for the tenant 10 put forth every
effort 10 get as much out OF the soil
as possible and TO strive for maxi
mum production. Any increase II. out.
put means greater profit for tho ten.
ant and need not be shared with the
owner. as Is the case under the share
system Of renting.
Share renting. on the other hand
gives the tenant the benefit OF having
partner who. In many cases, has
had considerable business experience
This quite frequently is valuable as.
set. especially for the young farmer.
The owner who rents on shares pays
more attention TO his farm and will,
as rule, have better and furnish
better buildings than the nan who
rents his farm for cash From the
standpoint OF the renter, perhaps the
greatest advantage in share renting
Ia that for him II lessons the element
OF risk In bad years he pays a small
rent or none at all In good years he
may pay relatively high rent.
About Il per cent Of Wisconsin
farms are rented as compared with Al
per cent In Illinois. 3s per cent in
Iowa and 2i per cent In Minnesota
This lower percentage Of tenancy in
Wisconsin Is due partly 10 the cheap
land In the North and TO the fact
that the dairy business does not lend
itself well to most systems OF rent.

reprint 10 valuable to scientists. but

Co-operation and Brotherhood.

The Almighty has SO planned II that
We cannot achieve real success In life
without fellowship and brotherhood
without willingness to work with our
fellows and trust them and bear with

not only cannot find the happiness and
satisfaction that should be ours, but
as a people We cannot even prosper
greatly In matters of dollars and cents.
And II trial and financial loss should
now cause our farmers to develop In

Of the family and took charge of
the Commercial Hot | which he
recently purchased from Mrs. j.

Mr.. Bergador is a well known
Colorado Hotel man and is in
position to give Roy Hotel accom-
modations such as we have never
before known. Mrs. Bergador
and their two daughters are
much pleased with Roy and are
welcomed to social circles as well
as to the semi-phiIanthanthr ropic
mission of feeding and caring
for the Homeless" of our town.
A New Years Dinner to the re-
gular local patrons Of the Hotel
was one Of the Introductory
overtures of the new management
and it was fully demonstrated
that the Table de Hote was pre-
sided over by professionals.
Mr.. Bergador will enlarge the
hotel to provide sleeping rooms
for the normal trade at present

things for the future. We are
convinced Roy has ACQUIRED a

New 'Bo-Not' Club New Hotel Opened

There is an under-current OF
sentiment which is becoming SO
insistent as to command atten-
ton in favor of the re-incarna
tion of the "Beau-not Club" by
the young men Of Roy.
It seems that each recurring
revival of the institution by the
girls has resulted so disasterously
for Them that the girls are afraid
to try it again and as there are
some reckless characters among
the young men who are willing
to try anything once if it pro-
misses excitement or danger, they
are almost unanimously in favor
Of organizing with the declared
intention to resist strenuously
but unavailingly all advances
made by the fair sex against
their liberties. 1t is their ambi-
tion to be as successful as the
girls have beeh in resisting the
the insiduous attacks of Dan
Cupid.

termitently and secretly without
