 There; now your sleeve is loose again." he said.
 Thank you, so much,'' I returned, and wondered vaguely as I did so whether or not all these elaborate pre- cautions were necessary. It seemed a bit melodramatic and overdrawn to me. The driver was separated from
 Us by the usual glass partition, and I thought he must have sharp ears ln- deed to hear what we were saying. And he hadn't once turned his head in
 our direction.
 The thought crossed my mind that
 perhaps MT. Drake was not averse 10

 feeling of plque stirred in my heart at the thought Woman-like, 1 longed to show this man that I wasn't such a. novice in handling important matters as he 1ust think me, and also that I had penetrated his subterfuge, but there was no opportunity for me to do either. I must play the game out until he, my superior officer just now. should release me.
 The taxi rolled smoothly along and as smoothly ran MT. Drake's conver- sation. Fortunately for me he gave me no chance for other than mono- syllablic replies. I'm afraid I would have made but a poor showing if | had been obliged to keep up my end of the conversation.
 The old, vague, fascinated fear of Allen Drake which I had felt so strongly when I first met him came over me again. I would have given a good deal to be safe at home.

Aren't You Hungry?" Whether he saw my involuntary i gesture or not I don't know. At any rate, the look in his eyes which had startled me quickly faded, and was re- placed by an intent significant gaze at the watch upon my wrist. It didn't need his pointed finger to tell me that ; the time had come for the transfer of the important paper.

 I stretched out my hand to MT. Drake, touched him on the arm
 "I wonder if you could disentangle the drapery of this sleeve" I asked casually "The button of my glove has caught in it, and as I cant see it very we'll I'm making rather a mess of it."

 Miss PicSford has been cast in practically every motion picture part imaginable, and with the versatility that she alone possesses, has satis- faCtOrily filled the bill on every Oc- casion. Now comes a role that will give her her greatest chance. and her thousands of admirers, nay, Iov- CTS are confident that she will come through with flying colors. To relate here the story on which the picture ''Rebecca of SunnybroOw Farm," is built would be too great a task if proper results are to be achieved and then again With q big majority of you readers having long ago added the story to your stock of literature achievements it would be fallacy.
 While the picture feature will over shadow the vaudeville in point of ex- cellencc, the vaudeville will not, how ever, be sacrificed. Three acts of sterling quality will be presented, and several smaller motion pictures will comprise an excellent Easter week program. The Texas Comedy Four, a quartet of syncopated comedy, Jo- sephine Sabel, singing comedienne, and The Frietchies, a man and a woman in q comedy acrobatic offer- ing are the offerings in this line,

Thompson shows how this present battle and the other incidents lead ing Up to it; the revolution, the Over- throw of the Duma and finally of the provisional government in Russia. are all the results of the German Curse" a. curse that has fallen on the world like a blight, that is caused by the War-madness of an insane ruler of once sane people,
 Captain Thompson, staff photog- rapher for Leslie's Weekly who snapped the scenes in The German Curse," was arrested fourteen times while snapping photographs on the battlef1elds of Europe. He was twice knocked senseless by concussions thrown into prison by secret police on four occasions and then rescued by revolutionists.

This is the day and generation when cutting corners has become a house. hold necessity.
 True, there are some people whose incomes have been swollen by the war, but for every one of these there seem to be many whose incomes have stood still or increased slightly. And when an income stands still or increases but slightly, in these days it is practically going backward.

Practice of Medicine GuesSyyorl<.

It has been said that the practice of medicine at best is simply a game of guesswork, because the action of drugs varies to a great degree upon different individuals; but when 8 med icine has lived for forty years, con- stantly growing in sales and popular ity, there can be no greater proof of its merits.

A farm land boom is on, we are
sorry to say. That means that young
fellows of 18 to 80 will find it a
rather hard time to get started farm
ing for themselves on satisfactory
basis. That means that there is
likely to be an even further increase
in the evils of farm tenancy. In fact,
there is real chance that within
another ten years from two-thirds
to three-fourths of our best farm
lands will be worked by tenants. The
farm land boom will make hundreds
of millions of dollars for the older
men, but the farming world of twenty
years from now will in no way be a
gamer by the present boom. On the
contrary, any decided land boom is
likely to make it more difficult for
the farming people of this country to
weld themselves together into an ec-
onomic and social unit Of real in
fluence. - Wallace's Farmer, Des
Moines, Iowa.

March 1st, 1918.

P. ]. Aarhus, manager Of the or
ganization of the Stock and Subscrip-
tion department of the Grand Forks
Daily American was a business visit
or in this city last Monday. He has
opened up an office in the Scandinav-
ian American Bank Building in Grand
Forks and states that the new paper
will be open for business on March
1st.
The paper will be owned and con-
trolled by the Farmers Nonpartisan
League and will probably be a morn
ing paper. The subscription depart
ment expects to cover the northern
part of North Dakota and the north
western part of Minnesota. From
the way the political winds have been
blowing in North Dakota for the past
couple of years it looks as tho the
paper would have large field and
would be universally patronized. A
complete new set of machinery in
cluding linotypes, machines and press
es will be installed and when COM
pleted will be one Of the most up-to-
date newspaper plants in the north

THE LANDLORDS POWER.

A special dispatch from Oklahoma
City to the Christian Science Monitor
of December 3, tells that landlords in
the vicinity of Sasakwa, Oklahoma,
are going to dispossess tenants who
are members of the working class
unions. The excuse offered is that
these tenants resisted the draft, but
if there were truth in that, Federal
officials would have attended to them.
A more credible explanation is that
the working class union is carrying
on a propaganda against landlordism.
Conditions in Oklahoma have reached
the state described by Henry George
in speaking of landlordism in Eng,
land, in Chapter II, Book VII, of
Progress and Poverty"
"They habitually control the votes
of their tenants and dictate to them in
many little ways That right rev.
erend father Of God,' Bishop Lord
Plunkett, evicted a number of his
poor Irish tenants because they would
not send their children to Protestant
Sunday schools; and to that Earl of
Lietrim for whom Nemesis tarried so
long before she sped the bullet of an
assassin, even darker crimes are i'm
puted; while at the cold promptings
of greed, cottage after cottage has
been pulled down and family after
family forced into the roads. The
principle that permits this is the same
nrincin1e as that in r11der times and
simpler social state enthralled the
great masses Of the common people
and placed such wide gulf between
noble and peasant"
Landlordism and liberty are as in
compatible in Oklahoma as elsewhere.
The state must abolish one if it would
preserve the other.

LAND PRICES ARE PROHIBITIVE
Farm Land Boom Increases the Price
of Land, Making it Almost Impos-
sible for the Young Men to Get a
Start.

To the editor of Capper's Weekly:
I have just read what w. P. Har-
vey, secretary of Homestead Loan
and Land League of Missouri, has to-
say of large land holdings for spec
ulation. 1t does not seem possible
that a government Of the people
would tolerate these large holdings
when land means so much to every
body.
Eleven years ago I bought small
farm paying small amount down
and high rate of interest on the bal
ance. I tried hard to finish paying for
it and have home, but light crops
and an increase in taxes and all 9TH
er things that go with raising
large family compelled me to sell and
to try renting again with the usual
results.
A couple of weeks ago I took a
Ford and started east from Jewell
county to look for a farm to rent. I
went as far as Highland in Doniphan
county, stopping at most of the towns
and inquiring Of real estate men and
farmers. They all told me the same
story, that there were from six to a
dozen men for every farm that was
for rent.
Last spring took trip out in
western Nebraska and eastern Colo
RADIO. / wished to buy some cheap
land. 1t seemed to me the land was
entirely too high for what it would
produce. But that was not the worst
feature, you could not borrow dol
lar on the land for less than 10 per
cent.
Surely a man able to work, who
can give references as to his farm
ing and who has all kinds of help, and
capital Of about $4,000, should be
in good demand most any place.
Here is hoping our Government Of
ficials will wake up to the land stu
alton.
