Question: eSsSo Whether Advantaoee
Of Tenancy and Ownership Can Be
Combined 10 Discussed.

Most people in this country believe
that the tenant is a menace and that
the owner is more desirable because
he maintains soil fertility by live
stock farming and other good systems
and manifests more public spirit
Others believe that with a system of
long leases. such as prevail In Eng.
land. the tenant would be able to con.
duct his operations with q much
smaller investment, and without many
Of the Objectionable features OF ten
ancy as it now exists In this country.
| We will have to readjust our ideas
somewhat radically to reach the pres
ent English condition, but many of
the advantages of ownership and ten.
ancy can perhaps be combined with
out any revolution In our present
ideas, according to o. r. johnson of
the farm management department of
the University Of Missouri.
In a survey of the western part of
johnson county the department found
that the size of farm business has q
close relation to the income which
the farmer receives for his work and
that small owners may often enlarge
their operations by renting additional
land. This part owner stands with
the owner in the social matters. both
from the standpoint of the individual
and that of the community which he
Is helping to improve. In fact. in the
region surveyed. he spent even more
for his family living than the man who
was renting no land. This includes
what he grew on the farm. and he was
much more nearly self-sustaining be-
cause he produced . greater portion
OF his living ON the farm and bought
less OF 1t at stores. The interest
chargeable on his total investment
was less than two-thirds as great az
In the case of the owner. for the total
investments were 1888 and $12,555
respectively. 1t must be remembered
that even after renting some land
from others. these part owners had
only about seven and one-half acres
more land apiece than the owners, and
ten acres more than the tenants with
whom they are compared. The actual
figures were 1895. 1876 and 1885 acres
respectively.
To considerable extent the matter
may be summed up by saying that the
owner made a labor income Of $314 q
year on 1876 acres, the part owner $456
on 1896 acres. and the tenant 1881 on
1885. but many people would be will
ing to pay the additional $45 q year
for the advantage of knowing that II
would not be necessary to move In q
year or two. make new friends and
establish system on a new farm. The
difference between labor income the
part owners have and tenants have IL
more than counterbalanced by the |
higher standard Of living of the part |
owner. who spent $64 q year more on
family living. The average owner in
that region probably does not realize |
that his labor income Is as far below |
that Of the tenant or part owner as
Mr.. Johnson's figures show. He does |
not realize that so great portion of |
what he regards as income Is not in.
come from his labor, but from the |
money investment which his land rep
resents.

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste IL ofttimes more
accurate. In selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that Of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste of
any kind OF cereal food. He was Q
weak little chap and we were puzzled
TO know what to feed him on.
One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well. you never saw q child eat with
such Q relish, and 1t did me good to
see him. From that day on It seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
The difference in his appearance
Is something wonderful.
MY husband had never fancied
cereal foods Of any kind. but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nu and has
been much improved in health since
using 1t.
We are now q healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly affiicted with ricketts,. / was
satisfied that the disease was caused
oy lack Of proper nourishment. The
children showed 1t. So I urged her
TO use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
They continued the food and to.
DAY both children are az well and
strong as any children in this city,
and. OF course. my friend il q firm be-
lever IN Grape-Nuts. for she has the
evidence before her eyes every day"

CLING TO ANCIENT CUSTOM
Incident That Shows How EnglIshmen
Are Opposed to Anything That
Savors Of Innovation.

Sir Henry Lucy, the toby, M. p"
OF Punch, In q recent communication
to the New York Sun. relates an incl.
dent that shows how closely inter.
woven with the present are the tradi.
tons Of the past In England. He
writes:
walking home along the Mall lit.
tie after eleven o'clock last night. I
happened on q picturesque sight. A
corporal's guard of khaki-clad men,
with rifles on their shoulders, ad.
vanced at the quick march. There was
nothing unusual about that, as men in
khaki, whether singly or in groups or
battalions. throng the streets through
out the livelong day. What struck the
eye was the fact that the noncommis.
stoned oficer in charge of the little
group swung in his right hand Q lam
tern, from the center Of which dimly
shone Q tallow candle. The men
formed the guard proceeding to under.
take night duty at st. James palace.
Through the centuries, since the
time Of Henry VIII. who brought hith.
er his bride. Anne Boleyn, whose in.
itials. Joined to his. are to this day
traceable over the chimney piece in
the presence chamber, this corporal's
guard has nightly set forth on its mis-
sion. In Tudor times gas was not
known in the Mall. much less electric
light. Hence the lantern with the tai
low dip. which, with the greatest war
the world has known raging in FAN
ders, Italy, Russia and the Balkans,
still wrinkles on its way to st. James
palace.

Save The Waste Paper

What to do with stuff we don't
want is a question that never gets
really settled. 1t bothers the large
cities, it perplexes the small towns.
il worries or ought to worry every
housekeeper Some Of us here in
Skowhegan have settled the matter IN
a way; we toss it on the river bank.
Mogg Megone is said to have been
the first offender. On an evening
in June, 1924, he kicked off an old
moccasin and left it on the rocks
just below the falls. His bad exam
pie has been followed generation
after generation, to the present day
Salvation, in part. may come
through the advance in value of all
kinds of waste material. If what we
have been litering the landscape with
gets to be worth saving. we shall
right then commence to obey the or
dnance against throwing refuse on
the river bank. 1t is to be regretted
that most refuse is yet below sal
wage value but as to waste paper, the
price is such that we can afford to
save it. Even with the recent ad.
yances it would take a long time tC
save old papers enough to buy an
automobile but if we will accumulate
In, ba hnN inf

man, will be glad to come and take

for the privilege. This beats trying
to>eurn it (Which always chokes up
the chimney or carrying it to the
river bank (Which gets us disposed
by all good ctizens) or throwing ii
over the back yard fence (Which de-
yelopes our neighbor on his worst
side)
Drop Harry Cohen, Skowhegan, a
postal and he will loan you sack
for your waste paper and come after
1t when it is full. 1t will furnish
an outlet for material that has before
been more or less of problem
Harry won't object to rags with the
paper although you could get even
more for them. if you will save them
out along with boots, rubbers, etc,
and sell them to him separately
Metals, glass vegetable or animal
matter is prohibited These latter
will still have to go to the dump al
though in the cities, where the vol
ume is large, hundreds of thousands
of dollars are received for empty tin
cans, old bottles, etc.
