Washington or the nearby city? Their
only hope is that the autocrat of the
field may be a good autocrat, but
goodness and even sense among auo-
Gratis is rare thing. The Scully
estate can legally raise the rent any
time it wants to; so can any land-'
lord. The Scully estate can legally
make leases so deceptively worded as
to enable it to steal the improvements
of the tenant; so can any landlord.
The Scully estate makes one-year
leases so that the tenant is not SCI

lions on which he can not realize with
in a year, thus reducing improve.
ments to bare minimum and impov-.
erishing the soil from which America
must live; so can any landlord. The
Scully estate takes over $4,000 a
year in tribute out of Nuckolls coun-
ty Neb., where land-owning farmers
would have invested it locally in bet
ter farming and in helping to build
up the towns. But nine-tenths of our
landlords rob the farming community
in the same fashion.
A GROWING EVIL
In spite of all the clever propagan-
da to the contrary to bolster up our
wretched tenant laws, in spite of all
the doubtful farm papers have to say
about tenant prosperity and about the
tender regards of landlords for ten
ants, nearly all these landlords big
and little, do what the. Scully estate
does because they have the power anc
because they want the quick returns
The way to make them over and te
gradually replace tenants with land
owning farmers is to make landlord
ism less profitable with taxation ana
to make it impossible for the LANDLORD
to grab any improvements of the ten
ant or to arbitrarily raise his rent.
It is high time our western states
got busy on THIS big problem. In
1900, for instance, 38 per cent of the
farmers of Nebraska were in the sam
boat as the Scully tenants; now ovel
so per cent are in the boat. The 9th
er western states tell similar story
showing that our tenant system is no
step to ownership but to more ten
ancy. to impoverished soil and to i'm
pove ished citizens and impoverishe
communities.

FORCED TO CHANGE Ma
TIONALITY

In 1887 there was revolt against
him of considerable proportions, car
ried into the state and national gov
ernments. And the relief the tenants
got was typical Of old-gang politics.
Illinois, for instance, passed a law
making an alien incapable of holding
land titles for more than three years.
This wonderful remedy put the land
lord to the inconvenience of coming to
America long enough to take out clti-
zenship papers and establish resi-
dence. But this inconvenience had its
compensations because thereby Lord
Scully acquired the title in England
of 4the greatest American farmer"
The rents and the rental conditions OF
the American Scully were just the
same as those of the English Scully.
Even now the fact that the heirs OF
the estae are good Americans, with
residence in Washington, D. G., and
elsewhere, doesn't seem to butter any
narsnips for the real farmers on ths
western plains.
ALL LANDLORDS HAVE SAME
POWER
For that mater what Difference
does it make to these enant farmers

BASEBALL FOR FRENCH.

Systematic training OF men to play
baseball will be organized throughout
the French army by the Young Mems
Christian Association, following the
formal request of General Cottez, of
the ministry Of war. Eight centers
already have been established to train
French instructors and these centers
are expected to furnish enough teach
ers to cover the entire French army.
Baseball instruction in the French
army has been placed under p. r.
Carpenter, of Worcester. Mass The
rules of the game have been transla tel
and will be distributed among the
poilus.
II consider this game constitutes ex-
cellent exercise, develops precision and
quickness of eye and is an attractive
pastime," said General Cottes in his
request that the game be adopted.
Johnny Evers. the former National
league second baseman, recently visit
ed General Vidal's headquarters at
Besanon. where he demonstrated the
game to the officers school. After nine
days of instruction the young cadets
played five inning game.
They were particularly impressed
with our manner OF throwing a base
ball, for it is more efficient than the
present French method of throwing
grenades, which is done straight ARM

HELMETS ON GRAVES
SHOW THE NATIONALITY

witt the American Army in France.
G.y maiD BY their helmers Sou shall
know their graves.
It's the case over the battlefield that
stretches north from the Marne over
rolling hills covered with grain fields
and woods.
AS the German forces retired they
left many dead behind American
troops following buried these Germans
where they fell at the first opportunity.
Usually the graves are marked with
nothing but German helmet on the
fresh mound Of earth.
Sometimes stick is erected, or a
cross, depending on the intensity of
artillery fire II. the region, and the
time at the disposal of the "moppers-
up" Sometimes the German helmet is
on top of the cross. Once on the grave
the helmets are untouched.
The American dead were buried in
groups farther back when possible.
Sometimes this couldn't be done. Then
silent group Of doughboys buried
their fallen by the roadside.
These, too, are recognized by the
helmets on the fresh earth mounds
with crosses at the head, and usually a
bottle stuck in the earth into which
data regarding the fallen fighter was
hastily scrubbed and placed by his
comrades. Some day it can be gath
cred and Information forwarded to his
folks.
