The HEARN FARMS AND
STORE PROPERTY SOLD
Fine Farms a Little More Than q
Mile From Vienna Bring $16,76O
Store Property in Cambridge
Brings $1,000.

Messrs. William F. Applegarth,
James M. Robertson and Samuel E.
LeCompte, trustees for Mr.. William
Robert Hearn, sold at public sale
yesterday afternoon, at the Court
House door. the fine farms of Mr..
Hearn, located on a shell road about
one and half miles from Vienna,
containing $50 acres of land, a large
portion of which is in high state of
cultivation, to Mr.. Harry L. Bro
hawn, for $16,760. Owing to the
fact that it had been rumored about
that the sale would not be held many
persons thought the property would
not bring as good a price as It
should, but the price paid seems to
be about in line with the prices
which similar real estate is bringing,
although the general impression pre-
walls that Mr.. Brohawn, who is one
of the best farmers in the county,
and who will take personal charge of
the property, has purchased the
property as such figures as will en-
able him to make money on it.
After the sale of the farm proper
ty, the storehouse property, on Race
street. this city, which has been oc-
cupied by the Hearns ever nee it
was built, was sold to Messrs. E. NJ
Skinner & Bro, for $1,000.

Landlord Aad Tenant
Should Be Business Partners

A young landlord, educated, thou
ghtful, progressive, at the same time
mindful of the fact that his, land
must make living for himself and
family, began to take notice of what
some of the larger manufacturing
plants of the country are doing to
better the living conditions of their
employees.
If, he reasoned, the largest auto
mobile factory in the world can pay
its men IS per day and upward and
at the same time cut the price of it's
cars to figure that is the despair of
competitors, must not the quality and
volume of labor obtained s5a In
portion to its rewards? If, he asked.
the rewards OF labor are such that
the laborer may provide for himself
and family clean, wholesome living
conditions, good food, pure water,
and a reasonable amount of recrea-
tion, will not, in turn, the volume
and quality of the work performed
rise to an extent that will more than
offset the increased expenditure?
And if manufacturing plants find it
good business to look to these things,
why not the owners of farm lands?
So his plans were made, and as he
becomes financially able he is carry
ing them out. He holds, first of all,
that the very best of tenants is none
too good for his place, and he con-
stantly plans to get such men and
keep them. To do this he well knows
that he must offer them a PROPOSE
tion as attractive socially and finan-
cially as it is possible to make. First
of all, he has adopted crop rotation
system that is improving his lands,
and prospective tenants know in ad-
vance that they can count on crop
yields above the average. This fact
alone is OF course strong induce
ment. He next sees to it that every
family has a good house-nothing
fancy, but a comfortable dwelling fit
for self-respecting man and his
family. A full acre is allowed each
tenant for his garden and truck
crops, which he is not required to
share with the landlord, and he is
given free pasturage for a milk cow.
A written contract is signed, and in
every possible way the point that the
arrangement is partnership is
stressed. The landowner advances
supplies at actual cost and charges
interest at per cent. per annum,b be-
ing content to get his profits from
his share of the usually excellent
crops grown.
Is it any wonder that such a land
lord has the pick of the tenants of
his community, an, that under such
an arrangement bo landlord and
tenants are making money? Rather
the wonder is that more such sys-
TENS are not put in operation.-The

When Children Go to School

wonder il the other mothers felt
the way l did when the children
went back to school, For the first
few days I really enjoyed myself,
and l worked tremendously hard and
got everything done so quickly, and
with such little bother. 1t just sort
of seemed like being a bride again,
and a house all to myself.
But I soon found 1 was only work
ing to keepimy mind off the silence,
and the loneliness. Yesterday when
patched Dams blue trousers the
tears actually came into my eyes, ,and
got to thinking about Dan, and
what good boy he was, just as
though he were dead. Silly, wasn't
it? But, you know how it is, after
you've had the blessed youngsters
cluttering things up all summer.
When they do come home with
with their books and dinner pals,
and breathless accounts, it is almost
dark, and there are chores and sup
per, and conversation is limited
while RutAIand Jennie and 1 set the
table and &pxt the big square loaf in
to slices. ID don't see Dan at all,
for he;S Xith his father, and

at the taDle And then the dishes
must be done, and father takes his
magazine, and my basket, and the
children get their books out and sit
around the dining room table and
study for the next day. Tick, tick,
goes the clock, and Jennie falls
asleep over her geography. So
send them all to bed.
l worry about Jennie's geography.
She always goes to sleep, and her
mark wasn't good last month. But
now her father reads it to her, and
she stays awake better. 1t is so easy
to help children a little.

tmas vacation as anxiously as the
children; aren't you?-Mary Kellog

NEWS COMES SLOWLY.

London, July 3. News Of the Anglo
French came In slowly today but the
people showed no disappointment
The authorities and the press gave
warning that patience would be neces-
sary as advances must be slow owing
to the nature Of the Notifications erect
ed by the Germans In the twenty
months they have been in possession
Of the territory. Places such as Mont
auban, Ftcourt, La Boisselle, Serre
and Mametz, which the British took
and like the villages farther south cap
tured by the French, bristled with ma
chine guns. There are many other
similar positions which must be over
whelmed II the French and British In
fantrymen are to continue to push for
ward.
The artillery demolishes most Of the
defense works but the Germans remain
in dugout- during bombardments and
come out with machine guns to meet
the attackers. Much hand to hand
fighting occurs. Furthermore, there are
counter attacks to be repulsed.
on the Belgian coast British moni-
tors are throwing shells across the
sand dunes to keep the Germans IN
their trenches. The Belgians, who
recently took over another stretch OF
the front, keep up a bombardment
which equals that of the British guns.
The Germans are kept busy from one
end of the line to the other and
threatened attacks at every point warn
them against sending reinforcements
to the Somme region.

$4,000 FOR WESLEYAN.

Mt. Pleasant, July /. The heroic
devotion Of a group of men who work
ed desperately to the t1anl hour IN the
face of almost certain defeat, backed
by the cooperation Of the Mt. Pleas
ant Commercial club, closed last even
ing Iowa Wesleyan's great campaign
for one.half million dollars, the most
intensive educational enterprise ever
attempted in the west, AS late as six
o'clock there seemed absolutely no
hope of victory, but early in the even
ing literally food Of reports by tele-
gram and telephone began pouring into
headquarters, coming from the men IN
the field who were capitalizing the
fleeting moments. Slowly the huge bal
ance was reduced, by midnight 1t WAS
seen that a balance of about fifty
thousand dollars would be left. The
members of the executive committee
of the Mt. Pleasant commercial club
rather than see that great campaign
fail for lack of time, met In hurried
session and made the proposal to the
board of trustees that they under
write the balance Of $4,000 along with
their previous pledge of $4,000, to
make the complete half million. When
the announcement was made pande-

could be foreseen, could scarcely be-

TODAY SFARM GIRL
SPEAKER At AMES CONFERENCE
SAYS SHE HAS HARDER TIME
THAN MOTHER.

Ames, July 8. When Miss Jessie
Field, an Iowa girl, formerly superin-
tendent of schools In Page county, but
now national Y. w. c. A. secretary,
spoke before the rural life conference
in session at Iowa State college there
was not room enough in the room to
hold the crowd who came to hear her
and it was necessary to adjourn to the
largest auditorium on the college cam
pus. Miss Field in her two talks, ex-
planned the work that is necessary to
get young girls interested in church
in the country and the qualities needed
in rural leadership. "
Girls today have harder time than
their mothers did, said Miss Field,
because there are so many more
temptations and distractions that take
them away from the right things. Vel
low back novels are no longer printed
with yellow backs, but appear in good
binding along with respectable books
and In respectable magazines. The
moving pictures may be just as yellow
too" '>'r ID rs. 5@
Evils of country life fall heaviest on
the women and girls. Miss Field told
the conference, so they should be Civ
en- more Of chance to get happiness
and they. should have more OF an op'
portunity to work for the things that
uplift the community.
