have shown that, irrespective OF the
price, tenants put greater part OF the
land to productive use than owners.
The tenant pays rent for each acre and
he can not afford to have any of them
idle. On the other hand, the man who
has no rent to pay may be able to get
along on the produce OF a part only OF
his farm, and he is, therefore, more
likely to overlook the potential value of
the part he wastes. BY so doing he is,
of course, throwing away opportunities
to make money, but this is not always
appreciated by those who have not
grasped the important fact that the
average farm is too small for maximum
efficiency and that in the majority of
cases to increase the size of the. farm
business is to increase the profits from
it. Those owners, however, who realiz-
ing this, are operating leased land in
addition to their own, are, like tenants,
careful to see that they pay for no
loafer acres.
To anyone who is buying or leasing
land, then, the important question is
not "How much am | paying an acre
for this tract?" but GLOW much am
paying for the acres that are going to
work for me?" In the new bulletin it
is calculated that farm of 100 acres,
selling at 800 an acre, will cost the
purchaser actually SILL an acre if
80 per cent of it is productive, and 5000
an acre if only 80 per cent of it is pro-
ductive. AS matter of fact, the per-
centage of improved land in farms east
of the Mississippi is only 59.5 and west
of that river only sos. Improved land,
however, it should be noted, is hot al
ways the same as productive land. A
good timber lot, for example, is not i'm
proved, but it may be highly productive
and farm buildings and fences stand on
land that is improved but produces
nothing. In the final analysis it is the
amount of productive land that de-
termines the earning capacity of farm
and that should therefore determine its
price.

should have taken. 1t is queer how
people will knock. II lived five miles

knowing that I'd have part of the way

against it and not having any.
The weather has turned cold and we
find the top up and the curtains drawn
very acceptable. Nothing between
here and Charlevoix begins to appeal
to us except along White Lake. Here
we found large houses and barns-al-
though the buildings need paint-and
fruit trees along the side of the road
We have only had time to converse

SCHOOL PLATE

The fifth Standard School i'm Charlie

the state department and received its
plate on the night of Saturday, Sept.
23rd. A fine neighborhood gathering
faced the autumn storm to witness the
presenting of the plate, to hear the
program prepared for the occasion, and
partake of the good things to eat which
the good mothers of Eveline No. had
brought with them.
The building is now remodeled along
scientific lines and is not only larger
but more healthful and more comfort
able. 1t is well decorated and fine to
look upon, altogether a building of
which every resident of the district
may be justly proud. This effort which
has been largely the result of the work
of the past four months is due almost
entirely to the hard work and leader

Supt. Mcintosh of Boyne City deliver

about farm life, its joys, and opportuni-
ties. His frank, cordial manner found
a responsive cord in the hearts of all,
and his views on acres of diamonds
will not soon be forgotten. Before and
after his address the boys and girls
sang very spiritedly. Miss Lorraine
sang with much feeling "The Truest

THE GOLDEN RULE IN
THE TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT

The whole question of fighting tu-
berculosis comes down to the golden
rule. You do not want others to give
the disease to you; you should not allow
yourself to give the disease to others.
And the only sure way of not giving
the disease to others is not to get il
yourself.
That may seem a curious way OF
putting it. 1t is put that way to
emphasize the fact that good health is
not only desirable but that il is, to a
large extent, positively a duty. The
man who allows his body to become
run down and in that way holds out an
invitation to the tuberculosis germ is
committing crime against himself not
only, he is committing crime against
society in general BY endangering his
own health he is endangering the
health of his wife, of his child, of his
neighbor, of the stranger who passes
along the street
And if a person has caught the
disease either through his own fault or
through the fault of some one else, it is
his sacred duty to protect others against
himself. That is the great value of a
campaign such as is being carried on in
this county now, that it centers the at
tention of all the people on this disease.
And the person who is not interested in
fighting the disease is potentially a
criminal, if it is criminal to give to
others malady that causes suffering
and death.
To come once more to the cardinal
principles in fighting tuberculosis: The
care must be begun early. II treatment
is begun in time; tuberculosis is one of
the easiest diseases to cure. In the
early stages it can be cured almost ten
times out of ten. There are few seri-
Gus diseases about which doctor can
be so hopeful as about an early case of
tuberculosis.
But it is still more important that
every one shall keep his body in such
good physical condition that the disease
is not caught. The man who keeps his
physical forces at high tone runs little
danger of contracting tuberculosis
Hence everything that is done by the
individual and by society to build up
health and strength is done to check
tuberculosis.
And for both the cure and the pre-
vention of this disease the three chief
elements are plenty of pure air, plenty
of wholesome food, and plenty of rest
This trinity of forces is natures means
of fighting tuberculosis. And up to the
present time natures method is the
only method that has yet been discover
ed. And of the three elements named
the greatest is plenty of pure air.
BY keeping his windows open day
and night, winter and summer, while
he is well and strong, a man increases
his chances tenfold for remaining well
and strong

MEMS TOURNAMENT.

The new tournament planned will
begin next Friday night with four
teams in the race.
There are some new and excellent
features of the tournament. There
has been more or less confusion in
the past tournaments in arranging
for substitutes. In the last tourna-
ment each man not present had q
substitute score of 40. 1t often
happens that the substitute plan does
not work to the justice OF the var
ious teams, since there are more
substitute scores than actual scores
in many games.
The committee has avoided that
difficulty in the coming tournament
by classifying the players into five
groups, giving the high men sub
stitute score of lob, the next IDS, the
next 40, the next 1876 and the lowest
1870. .a,

SUNDAYS BALL GAME.

Yesterday afternoon large num-
ber of La Plata county people were
present at the appointed time for the
game between Bayfield, and the
Shelter. baseball teams, but owing to
tire trouble on the part of the Bay
field baseball team auto the game did
not begin until 2:45,
While the crowd was gathering the
Smelter band entertained and occas-
sionally during the game .he band
cheered up everybody by their excel
lent open air selections. Well, to
make matters short it requires the
band boys to put little ginger into
things.
At 2;15 the Bayfield, team went to
bat with Edwin Bluck as umpire at
the home plate and J, NJ. Turner of
bayfield, umpiring the field.
Ninth inning.
Palmer went out at first. Flynn hit
safe and the Bayfield, rooters cheered.
but Campbell and Morrison failed to
reach first ahead of the ball and the
game was over with the score 2 to
for the Smelter boys
The home boys made ten hits and
two errors while the Bayfield, boys
had seven hits and three errors. Me
Gregor, Wieland and Firebaugh were
each struck out once by Campbell, the
bayfield, pitcher. O'Connoll struck
out NJ. Springer and Briggs twice each
and Akers, Palmer, Flynn, Campbell
Morrison and Bay once each.
The game was one of +he very best
ever played in the San Juan coun-
try. Neither side showed any signs
of weakening from the stlrt TO the
finish. Both pitchers did excellent
work and the fielding on both sides
was almost without error. III fact
there was no weak spots oa eithe-
team and no one with any degree OF
certainty, could predict The outcome
until the last man went out.
One of the best plays made during
the entire game was that # Young,
playing third base for the Smelter,
in fielding bunt, with 4 man on
third base. Young succee ied in hold
ing his man to the base and also cut
ting off the runner going to fist.
The following are the results of the
Ignacio-Pagosa ball game yesterday;
Ignacio, 10 runs; IL hits; 6 errors.
Pagosa, l2 runs; hits; 6 errors.
