lection of the weak, the poor and the
unfortunate. The strong will generally
protect themselves. Labor is the source
of value. The labor Of the tenant pro-
duces abundant values upon the land
he cultivates. It is his labor that pro-
duces the value. The landlord takes
no part in such labor, but only provides
the land upon which such labor is done
to produce such crops and value, and
cannot be said to be at least more i'm
portant than the tenant who does the
work and creates value Of the crops.
We think, therefore. that each should
be secure in his rights, and the tenant
just as secure in his Fights as the lard
lord"
The practical effect of this decision
on the farming interest should be well
understood. It is important because it
affects landowners tenants, elevator

share of the crop but contains a pro-
vision to the effect that title to the

COURT REVERSES RULING
Usage Since Statehood
Changed Has Vital Eff
feet Upon Farmers.

The Supreme Court has just filed an
important decision affecting the law
governing landlord and tenant and
changing the rule in force in the state
for many years.
The opinion was filed by Judge
Grace in the case of Minneapolis Iron
Store company VS.. Branum, Monarch
Elevator company, garnishee, and In
ternational Harvester company, inter-
venor, and the rule Of law there an
nounced IL concurred in by the entire
court.
The case involved the question of
the extent of the tenants right to
mortgage his interest in growing crops
where the lease reserved title in the
landlord until division of the grain in
the fall, and more particularly the
question of when such chattel mort
gage by the tenant would become Op-
erati, against his share of the crop.
Heretofore it has been the law in
this hstate that the chattel mortgage
of the tenant would not attach to the
crop until the division Of the grain by
the landlord.
In the case mentioned, the Supreme
Court now decides that the interest Of
the landlord in the crop attaches from
the time the grain appears above the
this state that the chattel mortgage
given by the tenant attaches to his UNI
divided interest in the crop.
This decision is made notwithstand-
ing the terms Of the lease. reserving
the title of the crop in the landlord
until settlement and division with the
tenant in the fall.
It lis held that the reservation of
title clause in the lease is q mere Sc
curity provision for the benefit of the
landlord and in effect, q chattel mort
gage in his favor.
It is further held in effect. that IL
the landlord sells the entire crop be-
fore division and settlement with the
tenant, that such tenant has such an
interest in the crop, that a chattel
mortgage by him would attach and the
landlord would be accountable to the
holder OF the chattel mortgage for the
tenants interest in the crop.
The form OF contract construed by
the Supreme Court in this case has
been the standard form OF lease be-
tween landlord and tenant in North
Dakota, and adjoining states for more
than twenty years.
The early decisions of the Supreme
Court Of this state held that the reser-
walton of title clause in the lease gave
the landlord the right to sell the en-
tire crop as his own property and to
merely account for the proceeds when
he made q settlement with the tenant.
It was further held that IL the land
lord did sell the crop, and divided the
money instead Of dividing the grain it
self any chattel mortgages given by
the tenant on his share OF the grain
would fail because the tenant never
got title to the grain covered by his
mortgage.

titude? Perhaps she does not con-
slider herself pretty or winning
enough to attract the other sex.
Fudge! The battle is not by any
means to the beautiful, nor the
race to the radiant. One Of the
greatest bellies l ever knew, a
young woman VINO counted that
day lost that did not hold about
six proposals, was far from pretty.
Let US say for the sake of argu-
ment that my correspondent is not
beautiful. What difference?
She is twenty-one-an enchanting
age.
We will analyze her. At TWEEN
ty-one her hair is lovely, no mat
ter what color it is, if it is exqui-
sitely cared for and becomingly
dressed. Her complexion and eyes
are clear and fresh if she exercises
enough, and takes even fair care
of her diet. The French have a
saying that no woman is ugly who
has good eyes and teeth. There
fore, she should see that her
teeth are all right. Her hands
may be ugly in shape, but if they
are well kept with shining, pink
nails, no one but her girl friends
will criticise them. Her feet
should be as carefully shod as she
can afford; her fro-ks simple and
fresh. If she is as dainty in her
appearance and belongings as a
flower, there will be bees around
that flower as sure as fate.
But not so stiff and exclusive. l
have an inkling that that is her
trouble. Let her smile on the vii
lage idiot if necessary; it's mere
ly target practice.
1t ought not to be necessary to
give any girl instructions as to
how the other sex may be attract
ed. There is an instinct in every
feminine heart which can be trust
ed for that; but it may be stifled
by discomfort, indifference, a doz-
en- different peculiarities which
may obstruct free association with
other people.
Cheerfulness, optimism, SYM
pathy, readiness to have a good
time, spontaneity - aren't these
the conspicuous traits of the girls
who have "bov friends ?" That
joyous naturalness which is the
essence Of good fellowship is one
of the secrets of attraction among
human beings, and it is the source
Of all those small. subtle coduet-
ries which women instinctivelv
practice 20 the delight and con-
fusion Of men. And above all
things, let her avoid affectation,
and never put on airs. Just be her
own sweet, frank, fun-loving self.
Charm and the spirit of cam
eraderis make up the prescription
which her case needs, l am sure.
She has the first, being a girl and
twenty-one-let her cherish her
ideal of it. And II she longs so
greatly for that "little home of
her own" let her cultivate and
practice the second.

TT HE letter which is given be-
low reached me a few days
ago. In a way it is typical.
Ireceive many others writ
ten in the same vein, expressing
the same imperious yearning for
"A little home Of my own, and all
that goes with it." The writer
shows the intensity Of her feeling
on this subject by her rejection in
advance Of comforting words. She
has evidently weighed and debated
the question long and anxiously
enough to realize their futility.
81 am going to write you a sour
grapes letter, but nevertheless
true. It seems to me that every
girl is born with the wish to have
a little home of her own AMI all
that goes with it Why, then,
through no fault of hers, should
she be compelled to 90 through
life denied her hopes? l do not
believe in telling a girl who con-
fides in you that everything will
come out all right, because it is
just as apt to come out all wrong;
and why fool her?
"If it were not meant that each
girl should be wife and mother,
why does she wish and long to be
one? am twenty-one, and have
no boy friends. Although my
mother says You will, some day.,
I feel that never shall. Sometimes
when l think Of a lonely, selfish
life ahead, with no one to care for,
or do for, it seems such a useless
life. II a person just goes to bust
ness each day, and works to eat,
and eats to work, what is the
good?
"Isn't this a silly letter? Maybe
I will feel different tomorrow.
But I do have these thoughts, and
sometimes / get frightened. If you
would be so kind as to give me
YOUR views on this subject / would
appreciate it. Don't say a lot Of
comforting words that are only
blarney, but admit it's tough, and
hope that the next generation of
girls will be born without this
great longing"
l am perfectly willing to admit
that it's tough. It's bad enough
to be the victim of a defeated, I'M
satisfied human longing; but there
is certainly nothing tougher than
the prospect Of lonely, selfish life
in which one only works to eat,
and eats to work. But why live 1t?
Thackeray's great dictum, which
no one has seen fit to disprove, is
that any woman with fair oppcrtu-
mites may marry any ;E:n she
chooses. It's all a question Of the
opportunities.
