Farm Speculation

The Grand Rapids News calls attention to the
speculation that is going on in farm lands all over
the country. In the Middle West prices for farms
are above anything ever known. '1n Illinois,"
says the News, farms are changing hands at
$500 and $3.50 an acre, and in the northern por
tons of Kansas and Nebraska land is being sold
at prices $50 to $100 acre higher than two
years ago. Land at 5000 acre several miles
from towns is common. A Kansas City CORES
pondent cites the case of one farmer who sold
his land two weeks ago and paid $4,000 bonus
10 days lated to get it back. It is said that the
speculation is not confined to the farmers, but
that own residents are buying land with the same
eagerness with which they once bought city lots
kansas also has orgy of oil land specula-
ton, following the recent bringing in of several
gushers in the southern field in that state. Pro-
moters are peddling stock in every city and ham,
let, despite the operation of the blue sky law.
The promoters get around the blue sky law in this
manner: They buy an interest in land owners
one-eighth royalty and then divide the fraction
into units, which are sold without coming under
the head of stock. For instance, one-fourth of
one-eighth in one tract was divided into 4,OO0
units selling at 500 each, the popular price. The
promoters paid $4,000 for the one-thirtysecond
of the tracts production and put it on the market
for $8O,00O They couldn't lose if they could sell
units and they sold them, clerks, laborers,
small-salaried men and girls being the chief pur-
chasers. These buyers invest the appearance
of maps, though the proposed tract may not
have developed sign of oil.
'Whatever we may have or lack here in Michi-
gan we are without the speculative fever that ap-
pears to have seized upon many other sections
| of the country. We are satisfied with solid and
substantial growth, and in the long run we shall
be the better Off"

Crown Princes Bath Suite
Amuses Yankee Doughboys

WASHINGTON, July 3.-American
soldiers with the Army Of Occupation
at Neuenahr, Germany, are finding
great interest in a suite of rooms in
the former Palatial hotel that now
serves as an army base hospital. The
rooms are known as the Grown
Princes Bath Suite" being a part of
the quarters often occupied by Freder-
lex Wilhelm. The suite is used by
the Home Service section of the Amer
lean Red Cross. Doughboys spend
most of their time cracking jokes at
the former royal occupants expense
Before the war the hotel was IA

room adjoining the former princes
bath is separated by luxurious velvet
draperies. The bath is in the Roman
style, faced with white tiling, is set
in the floor and reached by a short
flight of steps.

Citizens Want Investigation Of Death
.1>, of Baby

Public opinion in Richmond demands grand
jury investigation of the circumstances attend
ing the death of the infant thrown on the city
dump by DR.. F. W. Kruger, who believed he was
disposing Of dead monstrosity. The fact that
the child lived for hours after it had been hurled
on the trash heap aggravates the situation.
Even the most lenient and forebearing person
in Richmond cannot condone the hurting of live
child, even if so badly deformed that death was
only a matter of few hours, a rubbish heap.
The act approaches the practices of barbarians
and savages who ruthlessly expose their weak
children to the mercy of beasts of prey and the
clements.
A thorough going investigation of the Incl
dent by the grand jury is in place. The public
has a right to know how far some physicians 60
in declaring infants unfit to have a chance to
live, by what method this fact is established, and
how their bodies are disposed of.
The very fact that the child lived hours afte,
it had been wrapped into newspapers and thrown
on public dump indicates laxity and apparent
unconcern on the part of the physician which has
been roundly censured by hundreds. The state.
ment of DR.. Krueger that he had recommended
the practice of disposing of cases of this kinc
should be investigated to see if other physicians
have been guilty of this practice.

Prices Remain High

Under this caption the Washington Post sug-
gests that statesmen and economists at once
study the question of prices to bring about an ad-
justment. NEARLY eight months have elapsed
since the arnistice was signed" says the Wash
ington Post. During that period war activities
have been brought near to end, the army has
been three-fourths demobilized and the peace
treaty has been signed. And yet the cost of liv-
ing has not been appreciably reduced and many
prices range above war levels.
Here is a situation which demands the i'm
mediate attention of the government 1t is
worthy the best thought of statesmen and econo-
upon the happiness and we'll being of the Ameri-
can people The price of bread and meat is
much more vital issue to at least 100, 600, 900
people in this country than the boundary lines
of Poland or social conditions in Czecho-Slovakia
'"The Post has directed attention to the prices
of food in moderate priced restaurants in WASH
ington, to say nothing of the sensational prices
charged in eating places of the better class.
Householders pay practically the same prices now
for food staples at the retail stores as they paid
while the war was on In some instances they
pay more. The demands of the government for
feeding their soldiers have passed, millions of
men have been released from military service
and gone into productive employment and trans
portation is no longer the serious problem it was
a year ago, and yet the cost of living has not
been reduced. Rents are going up and clothing
is sold at war prices. Is there no relief in sight
