The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-11-17

Beginning about this time every
year, between $4,000, 900 and 100000
men in the United States are thinking
about leasing OF renting land. Ali
that thinking results in between p
100000 and 10000 900 contracts be-
tween landlord and tenant. For a
year, OF two or three years, or longer,
those men must live and work under
those contracts. The form of the con-
tract, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, affects not only
the prosperity of the contracting par
ties but the comfort and happiness OF
themselves and their families. A
poorly considered lease is likely TO
result in friction and frequent re-
movals. A well-considered lease is 4
sort of insurance policy against quar-
rels and tends to increase the length
c. time that the landlord and tenant
operate together, a condition, accord
ing to the department, that IS great
ly to be desired.
There are a great many things to
be considered in every case. The &C.
onomists in charge of land economics
in the Office of Farm Management,
Department of Agriculture, have
made out a list of points that every
man who has ground to lease and
every man who wants to lease ground
may need to consider. Although this
list is rather long, it is, nevertheless,
not to be taken as being so complete
as to cover every feature that may
deserve consideration on any specific
farm. On the other hand not all of
them will need to be considered by
the parties to any one lease, but they
serve as reminders, and those hat are
not pertinent in any particular case
need not be considered. The list fol-
lows:

ParachuteS to be Used In Mail
Delivery

Parachutes to be used in the
delivery of mail from airplanes
now are being manufactured in
Philadelphia and soon will be
ready for experiments to be made
by the Postoffice Department.
Upon the success of these expert
ments depends the possibility of
obtaining airmail service for Balti-
more, according to Otto Praeger,
Second Assictant Postmaster Cen
eral.
At present Mr.. Praeger sees
little chance of Baltimore having
air service for mail which origin,
ates in that city. 1t has beer
found, he said today, that it is not
possible to operate air-mail lines
economically on jumps of less thar
200 miles.

When the international Live Stock
Exposition was held last year, the
European war had just been termin.
ated by an armistice the nature Of
which was hazy; this year has been
firmly established as far as the United
States Is concerned, all uncertainty
having been removed. The country has
been through period Of readjustment
from which it is emerging on SAFE
sane and substsntial democratic basis
Fitting therefore is the dual celebra.
tion planned at Chicago the first week
in December. Victory being no longer
10 doubt, the great live stock industry
disturbed by wars uncertainty will
move forward to even greater success.
Fitting also will be the reunion Of live
stock raisers who during the past TWEEN
ty years have participated In these
annual expositions, together with such
alternate, prosperity and vicissitude as
the industry has encountered. A vic.
tory and twentieth anniversary observ-
ance will attract the largest concourse
of live stock raisers and others ever
seen within an International Live Stock
Exposition arena. For good measure
we will have show of grains and
grasses on scale without parallel OF

PETITION FOR CHARTER ELEC.
TION

A petition bearing 255 signatures,
and asking that the city commission
call special election for the choice
of charter commissioners to revise the
municipal charter, was presented
Wednesday evening. 1t was received
and filed and City Clerk Conant in
structed to check over the names to
determine whether or not all those
who had signed were qualified to do
so. There are also some legal ques-
tions to be answered before the COM
mission takes action.
The charter requires that petition
for charter revision contain a num-
Der of names, equal 20 15 per cent of
the local vote cast for mayor at the
last preceding election. This would be
1875.
Some of the signers of the petition
failed to write down their address and
the question was raised as to whether
or not this invalidated their sigma
lures. This will be looked up. The
purpose of having the clerk check over
the names is to determine whether or
not all those who signed it, are regis
tered voters.
