Renters, Profits eiu.

: Sioux Falls.-Many of the men who
rented farms in South Dakota this
year have made big profits from their
seasons work. Henry Schemp. a
farmer living neal Memo, rented sixty
acres from Fred Mutschelknaus and
from the tract o has threshed over
1000 bushels of wheat. He paid a
rental Of only SO per acre. Now the
owner of the land is striving to In
crease the rental charge II Schemp
wishes to rent the same tract for next
year. The dissatisfaction of many of
then men who have farms to rent with
the returns from their land this sea-
son, compared with what the renters
are receiving for crops raised on the
tracts, may result in a readjustment
of rental terms. In manr cases It is
expected the owners Of farm land will
endeavor to return to the old terms,
the wner to receive one-third OF the
crops raised on their land and the
renter the other t~wo-thirds.

some QUEER RENTS
One Man Sends King George a
Bucket of Slow Yearly.
Another Gives British Ruler Bowl %
Porridoe for Use Of Great Estate
City Of London Contributes
Two Pieces Of Firewood.


On June IS, the date Of Waterloo,
the Duke Of Wellington paid King
George the tent for Strathfieldsaye,
the estate presented to the Iron Duke
for his great victory. The "rent," duly
entered In the kings rent book, is q
miniature napoleonic standard, which
will rest for a year In the guard room
Mt Windsor above the bust of yelling
ton.
The owner Of the FOULS estate In
Scotland pays rent to the king for
these lands by sending him a bucket
full of snow every year. says London
Tit-Bits. AS Ben Nevis, the highest
mountain In Britain, is handy, and an
snow lies on it sometimes the whole
year round, and always we'll into sum-
mer, a small bucketful can generally
be obtained Doubtless the king might
have more IL he wanted II, but this
last winter, at least, he has had az
much as he wants nearer homei
On the other hand, the tenant Of
Crendon, In Bucks, has 10 send a gar
land of roses to the king as rent for
his estate every year. Doubtless he
does the thing well-roses piled up
and running over 1t is more than
probable that the queen looks forward
to this rose rent day.
The lord of the manor of Addington
has one of the most comical rents OF
all to pay to our genial king, and IL the
king ever looks down his rent roll he
must be hugely tickled, especially I'm
these days of food shortage. Tie rent
is a bowl of porridge. AS the King is
said not to appreciate porridge, per-
haps the rent is winked att
The holder of the Corbet estates I'M
dertakes to provide the king with a
fitch Of bacon during the whole time
he is leading his troops in person. He
has thus escaped rent since George
III led at Dettingen, for, though doubt
less George Nv would gladly lead his
armies to battle, he knows 1t to be far
wiser to leave 1t to the experts.
A short time ago the kings stock Of
fuel was increased by the addition of
two faggots. These came from the
corporation Of London as rent for GER
tain lands. The city remembrancer
had duly to attend at the law courts
with the faggots and get a ~quit-recelpt
for them.
But the funniest of all rents on the
kings rent book is the one which In
sists on the holders of certain lands

head when he is seaslcki As King
George, like his great-uncle, William
~, is a sailor king. and has travelled
farther, by thousands of miles, than
any monarch either of this or any
other age, 1t is not likely that he
will call on anybody to pay this curl.

Wheat Prices Cause Stir.

Aberdeen.-Both Dakotas are seri-
ously concerned over the plans of Her.
bert Hoover for stabilizing wheat
prices by fixing the price for which the
grain Is to be sold Rumors that Mr..
Hoover has about determined to fix
the price at s1.65 a bushel is the cause
Of the anxiety. The WATERFOWL, s.. d.
chamber of commerce recently adopt
ed a resolution stating that In its opin-
ion the price should be less than $3.50,
and the Aberdeen Commercial club
adopted a resolution expressing the
view that $40 should be The mini
mum figure for wheat. The Aberdeen
Rotary club adopted a similar resolu-
ton, and both clubs wired copies OF
the resolution to Mr.. Hoover, Chair
man Garfield, of the price fixing COM
mittee, and the senators and repre-
sentatives in congress from this state.
The Fargo, N. d., Commercial club
wants the price fixed at SO, and Grand
Forks, N. D., thinks $3.06, the price
Of cash wheat at Minneapolis August
Is, is the proper figure.

Even better than the exterior quail
tiles of this bungalow is the interior
arrangement. In the real test of a
home, the convenience of its interior,
the ease with which II may be kept
clean and the comfort which 1t pro-
vides are the vitality important fac
tors. A house cannot be called q good

regard to these things, no matter how
beautiful its exterior may be.
The bungalow shown In the perspec-
tive view is built around the living
room and the dining room. Since these
rooms are ordinarily the most used
and the most noticeable rooms In the
house, 1t is logical that they should
be treated with special attention. Here
they are made equal In size and are
placed one behind the other, with at
tractiye French doors between. At the
front of the living room there is a
door on either side, one leading to the
terrace and the other to the porch.

Pierre.-Possession of a small pair
OF scissors saved the life of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. f. Moore, who have just re-
turned home from IN automobile trip
to the Black Hills. The Moores, with
their daughter, when % miles from
Pierre on the return trip, turned turtle
in their machine on q bad stretch Of
road. The girl was thrown clear Of
the car, but her parents we're pinned
beneath it. She ran to a farm house
half a mile away for aid.
When the car went over, a pair of
scissors in MI. Moore's pocket slipped
up from his trousers pocket in such a
way that he could reach them and
cut away the cushion which was prac-
tically smothering himself and wife
In fact, he could hardly hear his wife's
voice, even though close to him, so
tightly jammed under the cushions she
was. Marie oon arrived with aid and
the car was pulled off.
All the party suffered considerable
bruises, Mrs. Moore, however, had the
windshield On her chest, and conse-
quently was the most injured, but is
expected to ecove with no serious
results. Mr.. Moore is Of the opinion
that they might have both been smoth-
cred before Marie could return with
aid, had 1t not been for the scissors
with which he extricated himself to
some extent, and could give relief to
Mrs. Moore, who was more closely
pinned than he under the car.

Respect the FIao.

Proper use of the United States flag
means much to American patriotism.
Never let the flag touch the ground.
Fold 1t carefully whenever 1t Is taken
down. Never knot, tie, or crumple 1t.
Never hoist the flag before sunrise or
after eight o'clock In the morning.
Take it down at sunset, also during
storms. Outdoors, 1t should be hung
from a pole, If possible, at least so that
1t can wave. When flying with other
emblems, the flag should be placed to
the right.
Fly the flag at half-mast only to in
dictate mourning for the death Of a dis
tinguished public person. When fly
Ing the flag at half-mast, first raise 1t
to the top of the pole. When the flag
is formally raised, each person present
should stand at attention with hand
raised to forehead waiting for the
salute.
