THE ESSENTIALS OF a GOOD
LEASE

The business man works up
on the theory that the way to
avoid legal difficulties and law
suits is to take the best legal
advice before he steps, not after.
This is good practice for the
farmer also. Much trouble re-
suits upon the farm because of
the loosely drawa and poorly
worded farm leases. The Better
Farming Committee of the Grand
Forks Commercial Club has
drawn a few simple essentials for
IA good farm lease which, if follew
cd will not onl tend to increase
the value of the farm and the
profit to the farmer, but will also
tend to avoid future trouble and
legal complications, which often
rase. Among the points the
Club emphasizes the following as
points to be guarded in making
a farm lease.
The lease should be written.
II should be- definite.
1t should provide for crOp rot
alton.
1t should put a penalty upon
SlipshOd. careless methods.
II should insure the tenant

AN OPTIMISTIC VIEW.

The life insurance company presidents WHO
were told on the first day of their convention
that extravaganza was the great American sin
heard a more optimistic address at their second
session. We are not protigate people, so a
Toledo manufacturer of automobiles told them.
We prove our thrift by the twenty billions of
life insurance that we carry, which is more than
is carried in all the rest of the world. Our say
ings are on the same liberal scale as our ex-
penditures. We may have appeared to be ex-
travagant in the matter of motor cars. Ten
years ago there were only one hundred and
twenty thousand Of them in the country. Now
there are more than three million, valued at
approximately two billion dollars. Yet who
will deny that the automobile has changed for
the better our urban, rural, social and com
mercial life7 Continuing, the speaker said he
was not Of those who believed that our pros
perty would end with the wars end We are
just getting started, in his opinion. The war
has awakened US to the more efficient deve-
opment of our natural resources. Europe must
be rebuilt when the war is over and we will
have more trained men than ever before to help
her do it.

To ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.


New York Globe: The Modern Mer-
chant and Grocery World gives the
following advice to- the retailer:
Consumers are being educated
today by variety OF conditions to
pay good prices for everything they
buy. The retail merchant who doesn't
take advantage Of that had better
drop out Never again will he have
such a chance.
In other words, the grocer who
doesn't squeeze his customer to the
last possible cent is fool. Every
body is doing It, 30 why not the
grocer? And we shouldn't be in
clined to blame him very much IL he
did. It's only human nature. We're
all money mad these days.
But the housewife who wants to
practice economy had better watch
out. The Globe herewith gives her
warming. II she is willing to let
greedy grocers drain her purse, well
and good. II she isn't. she should be
careful with whom she trades.

Up to the year 1885. the settlement
at the foot OF the rapids had bean
without q distinctive name, its var'-
Gus aliases being Puckechetuck.
Point. Foot OF Rapids, etc. 1t was
finally proposed by number OF
steamboat men while detained here
in tightening over the rapids. that 1t
should comm emorate the name OF the
peace chief If the Sac tribe OF In
dams, owing to his fidelity and frfsnd-
ship for the white people. From this
time, the name OF Keokuk was
adopted.
In the spring Of 1887 the village
was plated By DR.. Isaac Galland,
who was then agent OF the New York
Land company and under his super
vision a town in embryo was form
ally inaugura.ed and recorded as
Keokak. hs ensuing June pubic
sale OF town lots was held and at
tended by a very large crowd. One
boat was chartered in st. Louis and
numbers came up on other boats.
Only two or three lots were sold. one
on the southwest corner OF Main and
the levee and one or two contiguous.
The corner lot sold for $500.

THREE MILLION RESERVES.

Three million men would constitute about
one-ffth of the male citizenry Of this country
between the ages of twenty-one and forty-two.
From this fact may be formed some idea Of the
size Of the force of trained military reserves ad
vocated by Major General Hugh L. Scott before
the senate committee military affairs. The
figure he names trebles that current year ago,
in the early stages Of the movement for military
defense. It is the highest figure yet presented
publicly to the country by any competent esti-
matOr.
On his record, General Scott deserves to have
his advice carefully considered. If this man
tells the senator's that we need three million
trained troops, mobilzable in ninety days, he
is uttering neither the guess of an ignorant or
stupid outsider nor an opinion put in his mouth

OF the secretary OF state at Augusta
had received the returns from all the
525 Maine towns and cities, except
Hurricane Isle. In Knox county. 1t
waited as long az its official dignity
seemed to warrant and then gently
prodded the delinquent town clerk.
The answer was prompt: As l am
now the only voter here IL did not
seem worth while to hold an election"
Yet not long ago, as older people
reckon the passing of time, Hurricane
Isle was a town OF some 500 persons
and 1t had more than 200. voters to
take part in its elections. As recently
as the last census the population was
25S and its voters SO. The story OF
declining population Is an unhappily
familiar one along the Maine coast.
but thus far Hurricane Isle Is the
only town to decline TO the vanishing
point. The reason may be summed
up In one word-concrete. For Hur-
ricane Isle In its day OF prosperity
was little moro than a great granite
quarry, standing well out in the water
of Penobscot bay. though not SO far
out into the open sea - Isle Au Haut
or Nlantinicus or Criehaven. From
its great cliffs Of granite well paid
workmen took out the blocks that
built the custom house In New York.
the postonice in ST. Louis and great
public and commercial buildings In
many other cities. Then dawned the
age OF concrete. New Hurricane Isle
has more than $50 empty dwelling
houses and only one or two that are
inhabited.
