duce as II did at first. We are let

II Is for the like OF confidence and
business methods. We have no as
surance OF retaining a place for but
one year at a time, and we are not
willing to Improve the land without
some assurance OF reaplng some OF
the benefits OF our labor. There are
some landlords that look upon the
renter as n slave, and think he 10
not worthy Of much consideration. He
Is not looked upon as a free man
by some. lie is looked upon as a
tool to be used In the Interest OF
such men. when II comes to voting
tax for school purposes to build
up a school to give the children an
opportunity In life. the landlord
comes around and says, II you vote
that tax on us landlords we will not
rent our land to you. Then what are
we going to do7 lie has moved to
town to educate his children, and we
cannot go to town to educate our
children-so we are up against II.
Such landlords 40 that are det-
rlmental to the progress Of any
country. They are not worthy to be
considered good citizens Of our coun-
try. The renter who will be pulled
around by such men IL not worthy
Of any consideration as a good cit
lien. lie IN detrimental to his class
and to his country
So rcnters lets wake up and be

The Yankee officer beat the German
aide by half a mile of distance, and
he was on his way back with the EN-
perOr's answer before the first mes
senger dispatched had delivered his
imperial majesty's order. Clarke took
the ditch on his return as he had taken

turned by the way he had come.
Until August, 1914. and perhaps I'M

jump frequently was told In the Ger
man service. The sneer for Ameri-
