Eighteen miles north Of Kavala is
Drama, an important Greek town on

Cattle.
There was no urgent demand for

Speculation Cause Of
High Farm Rentals

! 1.-THE most successful farms require
about $1,000 Of tenants capital, unless
farms are rented on tho stock share
plan, when q smaller amount Of capital
Is needed, a. the landlord furnishes
one-half, or more Of the productive live
stock. It Is probable that by using the
stock share in place Of the bushel and
share cash methods Of renting the net
receipts of the farms would be in.
creased at least 10 per cent, the farms
better improved and the yields Of corn
maintained.
1.-THE increase in the amount Of
Iowa tenancy does not signify the
farmers are not obtaining financial in
independence as rapidly now as they
did years ago. In fact, the opposite is
nearer the truth. AN Iowa farm is
now priced at nearly FIVE times its
market value twenty-five years ago.
The land is mostly in the hands Of
small holders, who have received the
rise in price and are now able to live
from the rent. These landlords are
comparatively young men. who have
nothing to do unless they retain part
of the supervision Of the farm.
Landlords" the investigator be-
lieves, Should build comfortable and
permanent homes on the farm and
during recent years an increasing
number are doing so. THE attitude of
owning land as home and permanent
investment will be encouraged some
what by the more general use Of the
stock share method Of renting. Such
conditions break down the unkind feel
ing between landlord and tenant and
leads them to work in cooperation and
the development Of both the town and
the country"

Record Of Great Events.

One Of the documents which Moses
may have used in writing the book OF
Genesis dating from a remote epoch
in the history of our race, at least
1000 years before Moses, is poetic
version of the great deluge and the
fall Of man, craven on an imperish-
able tablet by some Sumerian scribe.
This antique epic, in which the origi
nal sin of first eating the forbidden
fruit is ascribed TO man instead of
woman-to Noah rather than to
Adam-written in the enigmaticai Ian
guage OF a vanished people. was found

CHICAGO Homo Market.

Chicago. Oct. 27.-Horse market is
holding fully steady locally and most
grades are having call either from ship
pers or local buyers. Tho heavy grades
Of good quality are moving the fastest
as demand Is stronger for this grade.
Eastern buyers, as well as local team
ing concerns. are competitors for good
horses Of big weight. Medium grades
are moving with less action than the
right good big horses. but 1t u ex-
pected all classes will be moved before
the week IL ended. When the army
horses are deducted from the total re-
ceipts. there are not many horses left
for the regular commercial trade.

o. G. Lloyd of the Iowa station an
nounces results of an investigation IN
to Iowa farm leases. He attributes the
cause Of the increase in tenancy large
ly to speculation in land for an adj
vance in price. Many farms have"
he says, fallen into the hands OF short
time spectators who rent subject TO
sale. Such tenants are uncertain OF
living on the farm more than year
and extract from it everything they
can get. AS result, the buildings are
generally in need Of repair and the land
is foul with weeds and depleted with
continuous cropping of corn.
Some advocate the long lease as q
remedy for the yearly shifting of
tenants, but this is no remedy SO long
as speculation continues for landlords
will not rent for more than one year at
a time. The more effectual method is
supplying the tenant with capital and
supervision in type of farming which
will make it profitable for the land
owner to hold his land and a disad-
vantage for the tenant to move.
1.-THE stock share method Of renting
supplies the necessary capital and
supervision. While about one-half Of
the tenants in some counties rent on
this plan, not more than 10 per cent OF
the tenants Of the state follow this
method. 1t is quite probable that one
half of the tenants and landlords Of the
state would find this method Of rent
ing more satisfactory than any other
method. After the tenant has accumu-
lated sufficient capital to adequately
equip and operate the farm and is as
capable as the landlord in managing
the farm. he should change from stock
renting to cash renting.

Facts Relating to Plans to Tie Up
American Munitions Factories -
Gompsrs Testified Against Dumba.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Concealing the
real purpose of his call behind state
ment that it concerned labor legisla-

dent Wilson the details of new and
gigantic plot on the part of German
agents in this country to tie up NUM-
tions factories making war supplies
for the allies.
Confronted with the direct question
as to whether he had discussed such
matters with the president Gompers
said:

From other cources, however, it is
learned that Mr.. Gompers was able to

corning not only the recently exposed
plot IN New York, involving schem.
of German agents to blow up ships
carrying war munitions to England.
France. and Russia, but likewise Of
widespread activities to bring abou.

bic that the matter may be discussed
at the coming annual convention Of
the American Federation of Labor in
San Francisco.
According TO Mr.. Gompers he laid
before the president bills prepared by
