Fields up to the present time he has
been connected with twoscore musical
successes. Mr.. Mitchell Is very hard Of
hearing and is credited with being able
to handle female chorus better than
any one else on account Of this defect.
On the opening night Of the production
he bases opinion solely upon the effect
OF his numbers and particularly their
dancing. Like most specialists. he can
not see tho Importance Of any other part
of the play. Two seasons ago when the
stage director visited a performance OF
Madame Bernhart in NeT work with a
friend, after. the great tragedlenne's
performance his friend remarked: shes
still a wonderful actress" To which
Mr.. Mitchell replied: What ap ity she

NEW BUNCO GAME
NOW IN OPERATION
(By United Press)

Washington, Nov. 17.-In the wake
Cf the farm loan there has developed
new swindle, the farm loan board
said today-selling farmers stock in
jeint land banks through fake farm
loan associations formed principally
to furnish to promoters and stock
sslesmen the wherewithal to eat and
sleep and go to an occasional show.
The board has passed resolutions
Intended to stop the sale of stock
iby fake associations. The regulations
state that no joint stock land bank
shall be recognized when money has
been spent on its promotion, and for
bids recognition of the banks until
organization of the federal land
banks.
Swindlers, the board said, have
operated by selling the farmers $50
shares in farm loan association, for
500, the surplus $50 going for "pro-
notion" Of that $50, too, $25 goes
to the salesman. In most cases, it
was said, such companies are not
organized with any intention of help
ing out the farmers, therefore the
anti-promotion expenses regulation.
1t is not intended, the board said,
to hit legitimate farm loan banks. But
in many cases there is evidence that
needy farmers are being mulcted by
the holding out of anywhere from Is
t.. so per cent for promotion" To
make a bank legitimate, the money
gernered from the sale of stock must
be available for loans to farmers, not
for expenses. to promoters, it was
said.

IOWA LAND QUESTION is
DISCUSSED AT MEETING

At recent meeting of the CONNER
cial Exchange in Burlington, Iowa, State
Representative Jamison read a paper
dealing with farm lands in Iowa. He
took his facts from the agricultural
bulletin of the 1915 farm census of Iowa.
It appears that the farm land of Iowa
like the farm land of Missouri, Texas,
Oklahoma and other states, is coming
rapidly into the charge of tenants. The
rate of increase in Iowa is almost / per
cent year. The ordinary lease in Iowa
is for two years. Ten years ago 1873 per
cent of the farm population were renters
cultivating 40.1 per cent of the total
acreage: in 1915 there were Al per cent
filling 1874 per cent of the total. In
other words, almost half the State is
already under lease, and all who have
studied results of production unite in the
opinion that the productivity of the soil
decreases as a rule when the farmer has
only a temporary interest in it's care
Mr.. Jamison went into details as to the
showing in various counties. Des
Moines county leasings are below the
average, being only 93,157 acres out of
a total Of 231, 1925, or Alb per cent, and
nearly. all the counties in the eastern
half. Of the state also are below the

SEED WHEAT is MILLION
BUSHELS SHORT OF NEED

l Agricultural papers of the Northwest
begin to see serious question looming
up, that is the shortage Of seed wheat
for the 1917 planting. They are asking,
where is the right kind of wheat for
next springs seeding coming from?
Farm, Stock and Home estimates
that not more than 20 per cent of the
1916 crop will be valuable for seed, and
that the shortage for the coming seeding
season WILL in the three Northwestern
states, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, be in the neighborhood of
100000 bushels. 1t says that the re-
quirements for the spring seeding in the
three states is 100000 bushels. This,
it says, is 100000 bushels more than
is available in that territory.

average. In the First district Seven
COURTESY 40 per cent Of the acreage is

average. In the First district (seven
Counties 40 per cent Of the acreage is
rented. On the contrary, the western
half runs above, and it is in the north
western part chat Iowa land values arc
most notoriously inflated. In the thir-
teen counties making up the Eleventh
congressional district, which is The
northwest corner, 1929 59 acres are.
farmed by their owners and 2,725,A1
acres under lease, or $50 per cent. In
the Tenth district fourteen countiesD
lying rsxt to it. on the east, the totals
are 2,172,706 acres farmed by owners
and 2,733,375 acres by renters, or 55.7
per cent. In the Ninth district (nine
counties), situated south of both, the
proportion of rented land is 51.3 per
cent. The county baving the greatest,
proportion CT renters is Cherokee, where
there are l23,131 acres farmed by
owners against 226,957 by renters, the.
latter being: over 64.8 per cent of.
the total, or almost two to one. So
there is land question of proportions
in prosperous Iowa. 1t is becoming
acute. The United States Census of
1910 states thai in. the ten preceding:
years Iowa farnglands increased 81, 500
O0O, 600, while the. increase i'm the value.

mounting values make it .nesG to i'm
possible for young, men without large
capital to own their farms, and if no.
change is brought about Iowa will
rapidly approach the condition. Of Eng
land and Ireland, and am American
equivalent of the foreign land aristocracy

future" What's the remedy? The one

WINS IN LAST
MINUTE

Saturday afternoon the high school
football team lost the closest game ever
played on the local field when they went
down to defeat at the hands of the
Springfield eleven by score Of 1876.
The local boys started the game with
rush and before three minutes Of the
FIRST quarter had elapsed crossed the
Springfield line for the first touchdown
Of the game. After a hard fight the
Springfield team pushed the ball over
the New Ulm line, tying tie score.
Both teams failed to kick goal.
From here on until the last minute
OF the game the teams ragged back and
forth and whenever either seemed likely
TO score the opposing Lire held like a
stone wall. With but fifteen seconds
more to play and the ball in New Ulms'
territory and in New Uln's possession
the New Ulm quarterback called for
forward pass, but alas! the ball was
caught by Olson, the Springfield halt
back, and carried over the goal for the
winning touchdown. Goal was then
kicked, bringing the total up to 13:
After the game the Springfield boys
and our team were given hearty supper
by the Freshmen girls CT the home
economics class.

WOMEN DO MANY FOOLISH
THINGS AND so DO MEN

IT think it is just as sinful to waste
tina as it is to waste food" Mrs. Marion
Cole Fisher, the maker of the famous
Gait Wilson wedding Cake told Man
lsato Free Press reporter the other day.
Il would rather sit and .twiddle my
thumbs than to do many of the useless
things women do
Mrs. Fisher, who is conducting a
cooking institute in Mankato, when
pressed for list Of some of the useless
things" women do, said:
"Well, for instance, as I walked down
to the hotel the other day saw woman
down on her knees scrubbing the hall
at her home Not content with scrub
bling the hall on her knees she crawled
out on the porch, and I presume she
crawled down and scrubbed part of the
sidewalk in front Of her home, such was
her desire for spotless cleanliness. There
is no need for any woman getting down
en- her knees and scrubbing. There are
better ways, and valuable time savers,
and no doubt back savers too I pre-
pare my floors so no one has. to get down
on their knees to clean them. When
my niece asked me how to prepare Shs
floor in the kitchen Other new house
told her to have it colored about the
shade of a grease spot. If the floor is
white one is bound to scrub it, in order
to keep it so; this takes out the natura
oils and leaves the wood open for germs
1t is better to fill the surface up with oils
or stains of some kind, and is much more
sanitary"
